If anyone is interested in this forthcoming Conference:

"This is mainly in the area of cancer, but I am looking at how we have reached a situation where hugely expensive ‘pharma developed drugs’ are widely used, when many are completely ineffective. However, novel ideas, new ways of looking at cancer, are blocked at every turn."

Thank you. I always find the replies from well informed people from around the world very interesting too.

I like Dr kendrick but am very dissilutioned with some of the well know alternative cancer treatment campaigns. I dont trust anything glossy whether it be from pharma peddlers or alternative peddlers and I think this applys to both they do not have an arena in which users can communicate easily. I get the impression money is King in both camps and I utterly hate and mistrust scaremongering in which both indulge, that always rings alarm bells for me. I think most of our health problems as well as lots of other issues in life are caused by fear and those who try to instil fear in others for profit are deeply malevolent.

This conference does sound fine and people will be able to talk to each other but I just wanted to say something about some of the other stuff.

It's fine to put one's own point forward.

Well, mine seems to have gone away with alternative treaments - if I'd gone back to the NHS I'd have been pronounced "cured" after 6 years and it's been 10. Didn't cost me any more than slightly more expensive food and I bought a couple of books off Amazon, so i can't see that anyone really profited (except Amazon and me). The NHS do the fear mongering just as much what with flu jabs, mammograms, heart attacks and osteoporosis from low TSH, and so on. So we can all listen and learn - no one is forced to buy anything (except access to the NHS if you are a taxpayer)

That sounds good. I hope if I get cancer you wont mind me contacting you. It really infuriates me when my taxes are spent on NHS scaremongering. I think if I had cancer I would go for alternative stuff but I wont be looking at certain websites that I nolonger trust. It is good to listen and learn but I find listening and connecting with real people rather than trying to wade through tons of advertising and information whether from NHS or otherwise. I was brought up with this mantra that 'all facts are opinions and all information propoganda' and also with the idea that I could find out all I needed to know by talking to freinds and family and watching what goes on around me. I do seem to find out far too much by doing this. My observations on mamograms are that all the people I have known who have had breast cancer have been too young to be having mamograms. My observations on flu jabs s that a lot of people die within a month of having them. I working in a nursing home where 50% or so residents died within 2 weeks of having the flu jab. The 50% of residents who survived were the ones who had not had flu jabs. I have met 2 other people who have seen the same thing happening at different times. I thought what I saw was a one off and I know a yellow card was sent in for all the patients that died in the nursing home I worked at. I have only ever seen one heart attack and I dont know any one in my family or peers that has had one so I would say uncommon as is skin cancer but pancreatic cancer has killed 5 people I have known 4 freinds and 1 family member.( it gets no funding). My observations on alternative medicine are that it is either a miracle cure or totally ineffective. also has far as health goes I reckon it is good to watch royal family as they will have the best health care and advice and can afford the best.

Alternative or complimentary medicine is designed to support the body - giving it time to heal - is how it seems to me.
