Some data is based on "method of action", other data is "outcome based". Sometimes, in this life, you have to have "faith". The question to ask of science is, "How many anecdotal reports does it take to equal "one" scientific fact. In all of the fantastic research that has been done, pharmaceutical interests will never publish research data on a "vitamin" that they have found "cures" anything.
They told my 68yr old, heavy smoker neighbor that his small cell lung cancer was terminal. The obstructive tumor in his throat was completely gone in 4wks. This was discovered when he went in for his second chemo treatment. The doctors were amazedl. He also had a large tumor taking up most of his left lung extending from the front to back of his plural cavity. After a couple of months, MRI showed the tumor to be down to less than an inch in diameter. He receive cisplatin and radio, never lost his hair, weight or white cell count. This does not normally happen with this type of treatment. All thru treatment, the oncologists refused to talk about what he was doing, except to try to talk him out of what he was doing.
Man in his 40's get brain tumor from malignant melanoma, which he was told he was cured from, one year earlier. Upon surgical removal of the tumor, and being on the vitamin cocktail for 4days, pathology report showed necrosis.
These are just a couple of "stories". Anecdotal, yes. Maybe I made these stories up. Words are cheap. All I can say is people need to research selenomethionine, inositol hexaphosphate, indole-3 carbinol, omega-3, quercetin, CLA, curcumin AND cancer, on MEDLINE.
Thanks for the tip on your medline. Goodaiye Mate
