A friend has lukemia and has started attending classes on some kind of altnerative treatment having to do with sticking acupuncture needles in a 'voo doo doll'. Sounds crazy, but supposedly it has a 98% cure rate.

Thanks!

Then your friend is going to die from cancer, just like all the other people who try to cure their cancer using unscientific methods (and the ones who will in future, Laura J I'm thinking of you).

Your friend needs to get proper medical treatment and that means chemotherapy.

The only hope your friend really has is that the cancer was misdiagnosed which is likely if a quack diagnosed it (though unlikely if it were diagnosed by a real doctor).

Most of the people who claim to have been cured of cancer by alternative medicine probably never even had the disease in the first place (and most of the others used 'complimentary' medicine and are giving the credit to the wrong thing).

It should be accupunture training by demonstrating it on a doll shaped like a human subject, no?

If you have cancer its your immune system that is suppressed.

The fundamental way you have a fighting chance to support the body in recognizing and fighting the cancer is through the proper nutritional tools that feed your cells so that they can see the cancer instead of allowing it to multiply unchecked.

It does require state of the art, researched supplements that work; not some silly story of the mind like voodoo.

The purpose of accupuncture is to help create more blood flow by stimulating the autonomic nervous system through pressure points to react safely... Thus, you are transporting toxins out of the body more swiftly through your blood stream and producing more anti inflammatory hormones to ease pain.

Nothing wierd about it, its just non toxic and has no side affects like drugs do, and it pisses the pharmaceutical cartels right off. You only have to read Quack Watch to know how much cures without drugs piss them off. Just find out who's paying Quack Watch. Big pharma, that's who.

Go to http://www.altcancer.com as a starting point and read, get educated, and get with it, because superstition clearly isn't part of the formula for wellness. Accupunture is just one method or piece of a puzzle and sometimes its a chosen method and other times not necessary.

Remember, interview any professional foot ball player, they will not scoff at acupuncture or miridian pressure points to help them recover for the next game. It's because it works; not just a good story.

I don't think I'd want to argue with a method that's been perfected and utliized for thousands of years. However, it is not the be all and end all in cancer, its just a piece of the puzzle because if you have 100 men trying to break the door down to your Castle, you'd better have 200 men holding it up at all times.

By the way, cancer doesn't scare people like me. I already know how to prevent it.

Dr Loraine Day, got cancer and has macro biotic diet plans that will help the body heal it self with food. Pharmaceuticals are toxins that make the body go into emergency overtime to fight the toxin.
The right foods will feed the immune system and through strengthened body defenses, is the only way to fight cancer.

I haven't heard of that, but I would recommend your friend consider the Macrobiotic Diet. I have a recipe book by Christina Pirello who was cured of leukemia by eating a Macrobiotic Diet. It is derived from Japan and was made popular here by a gentleman named Michio Kushi. It is known by a lot of people as the "healing diet". Please check my site for more information:

Marijuana cures cancer. Vaporizing is one of the most effective ways. Try searching for "marijuana cure cancer" or "medical marijuana"
