Frannie: We strongly discourage posting private PMs on the board
So sorry, Lee. I had thought that just the content without the poster's name would be OK. Won't do it again!
Thank you both (((sademo)))), (((((restrangled)))))
I know a lot of people are suspicious of physicians, but I've been a nurse for 22 years and all the physicians I've worked for really do research on new medication, pro's and con's and don't just give out medication for the hell of it. Doctors don't benefit from free samples in any way except to provide medication to indigent patients, patient's with no insurance, or to give a patient the chance to try a medication before filling a prescription to see if they "like" this particular medication.
Of course it's up to the individual patient to decide if a certain treatment is for them or not, but you should be just as suspicious of on-line information as you are of your physician. If you don't trust your physician then you probably need to find another.
Most medications can be used in multiple conditions. I hope this information about antibiotics killing cancer is true, it will definately save millions of people. You'd think that something so simple as an antibiotic would have been found effective for a cancer treatment long ago, considering how long research has been going on.
All we can do it HOPE, when that's gone what do you really have??
Ex-nj-jw, you are so blessed to have worked with conscientious physicians. Not all of them are.
If that info had not been announced by the media, I would have been suspicious, but since it's something that is easily acquired and tried with no harm to an individual, I don't see any harm in it.
Yes, I agree, ex-nj-jw. I wonder what prevents the medical profession from jumping on the "cure-for-cancer" bandwagon. Could it be the almighty $$$$$$$ might be affected?
Yes on HOPE, too, since hope give a person the incentive to strive for wellness. ((((((ex-nj-jw)))))
