Recently, I heard about a natural product that helped my great grandmother reduce her dependence on 21 medications per day, down to 1 pill per day within six months. Then, my mother revealed that an old friend of the family had cervical cancer and took the same product. Apparently, before she even finished the bottle, she returned to her doctor and he said it was somehow gone. Yeah, I know what you're thinking............
This seemed a little far fetched, to say the least, but I also believe anything is possible. Since this product is classified as a "nutritional supplement" and has no side-effects, why not put this to the test? As a filmmaker, I decided to look for a person with a face tumor (particularly because it is visibly external and would create more of a dramatic effect) to see if this would have any positive effect on them. Of course, I would include the advice and support of both a traditional MD and perhaps a Naturopathic Physician as well to closely monitor the experiment. I would even foot the bill for the tests and for the supplement!
When I posted the bulletin on a popular website about my project, several people INSTANTLY responded in rage!!! They claimed that I was pushing snake oil, "playing God", and giving false hopes to people who suffer from the disease. I couldn't believe the overwhelming resistance and hostility towards the possibility that there might actually be something that truly helps people by simply changing their diet and lifestyle.
When did it become ok to accept harmful drugs that cause multiple side-effects (as the norm) and to shun away from natural preventative lifestyles??? These enraged people automatically assumed I was just trying to "line my pockets for profit", yet they never mentioned anything about the BILLION-DOLLAR pharmaceutical industry that causes more negative side-effects than positive benefits!! --- Not to mention they dominate and control public policy regulating drugs through political lobbyists! (Next time you watch a commercial for a new drug, see if you can count on two hands how many side-effects you "may" experience.) There are countless sources of reference material that suggest most of the diseases we have in this country are directly linked to diet and lifestyle habits, so why is it so hard to believe that changing and enhancing both of these could possibly reverse the process? I just don't understand why we submit to this type of mental slavery. Et tu?

I know why we submit. It's not even complicated if you consider it. It's easy. It's too hard to think for ourselves.

I'm not against alternative medicine, but I'm not completely for it either. I think it's wrong that some of these 'treatments' don't undergo any sort of clinical trials, and yet claim to be miracle pills, and then cause more damage than the disease they're supposed to treat.
