I have to reply to this--b/c this is what I mean by the fear. Your wife had the right to make whatever choice made sense to her. But, fear should never be the means by which a person is coerced. Stage 4 is no more a reason to use allopathic medicine than stage one--perhaps even less so--there is no cure at stage 4 with allopathic medicine (between 5-14% of women are expected to be alive at 5 years--this is w/o metastsis and this is NOT a cure). Further, when you consider that oncologists have a very high failure rate and yet they are allowed to practice and are treated as heros in many cases, you have to wonder why holistic practitioners are so scrutinized and so many accusations hurled at them. Having done the amount of research I have, I would say that money (backed by fear) is the answer. People need to be willing to read the history behind the machine that now runs the way we think about our bodies before succumbing to it.
