Interesting information for Alternative treatment advocates

susieq

If you have such issues with  alt. tx, (which was transparent) why do you persist in posting on the ALT TX forum? This is nasty!

There should be some measure of respect. I would never go onto the stage IV forum and presume to know what those sisters ought to do. Why are ladies with BC on support forums to haggle and be harrassed by other women with BC?  It is ridiculous at best, and pitiful at worst.

Please stop doing thi,. This is an ALT MED. forum and you came on soley with the purpose of ragging on ALT MED.  This is stirring the trouble pot.

Don't we all have enough troubles ? Pls think about this !

Most of the people you hang around with SusieQ regularly change their name and nobody is calling them out on it.  Actually, we couldn't care less.  I think you persist (stalk) because you want to make sure your 'friends' read all about your devoted 'contributions' to this forum.  One of them has already thanked you, make sure you score that one.  It's all a big muscle munsh & chest beating show and real funny to watch Lol 

How about genuinely worrying about others who have gone through treatments and have come out with debilitating SEs for which they are trying to find solutions IN PEACE on this forum ?????

Celine, I totally agree, pure fear tactics

Frankly, we don't distinguish, and categorize, and dissect ad nauseam. We post, we respond, we share where we can and when we can.  

BCO is not a filing system, it's a big melting pot.  I really appreciate that more alternative sisters than I have been are not prejudiced against my having gone through conventional treatment.  I feel accepted and appreciated for who I am :  A human being who has a fatal disease, who is trying to deal with the cards she was handed the best way she knows how.  I try to give back the support I so generously receive from my sisters.

I AM TRYING TO SURVIVE and you are making it even more difficult for me !!!!!!!

Please dont fight...

I run an alt media forum with my husband.. and reading this "  the alternative ladies were causing problems for others who had had conventional treatment." is not surprising...

though it angers me

Sadly .. we are all human, after all and this is why it hurts.

Thank you for welcoming me here and sharing your hearts...

The good.. the bad.. and the ugly 

Agree with Celine, especially since this is a very old fight that surfaces periodically and has never had an amicable resolution. Let everyone make their own choices in peace. As I've said before our only enemy is breast cancer, not each other.

Ruby..

"ETA - Celine, don't believe what some people say, it's the other way around. Countless alternative ladies, highly intelligent with lots to share, have been run off  "

I am not saying one thing or another .. I just know that alternative.. and main stream.. have a hard time getting along talking about aliens and goverment activities..

I can just imagine.. here (and other places) where emotions are as high as the consequences... that the drama must be intense.

How we treat ourselves... is important to many.. but

IMO...

If you cant help someone on their path.. get out of the way.

oh and when in doubt..climb into a purple bubble... you'll love where it takes you 

Because, as you've been told, you posted your negligible piece of news in the wrong forum with intentions to stir trouble.  If you were so concerned about others being sucked in, you would have posted in the Newly Diagnosed forum.  But you didn't for fear of ridicule, that's why

I disagree. Those studies are worth discussion and evaluation.  The header says in part "for those wishing to discuss about alternative therapy only".  It doesn't say only pro CAM treatment discussion. 

If someone who is familiar with study criteria wants to point out that the study is poorly designed or lacking in some way, that's worth discussing.  It's also worth discussing the statistics presented in terms of the outcomes identified.  I think it's important that more study is given to this issue.  If CAM can indeed have an efficacious outcome for a breast cancer patient, early or late stage, I would want to know which ones and if they might be effective for me.  If however, the general outcome is as stated in the studies, then I would only look at CAM to be helpful in alleviating side effects and general overall QOL, but not as something to be promoted as eliminating Cancer from the body.

Posting a study to be considered and discussed isn't the same as expressing opposition, though I see it's taken that way.  I would want to know this information as part of my decision making process whether CAM or Conventional.  But maybe that's just me.

Let me head back to Stage IV.  I'll leave you ladies to discuss or not. 

Caryn I couldnt agree more !  I'd like to thank you for posting the rules which really do not seem to be honored on this particular forum.

 I hope this horse  , who has died a very disgraceful death can stop being beaten now.
