There is a pattern of unconfirmability here that can only be reversed
by contemporary alternative practitioners producing all the cures they
are supposed to be producing. Your historical material and its
accompanying legendary material (like Steve Queen not dying of his
terminal cancer), is worthless, as I also showed when I went and
checked what Hardin Jones really said.

Peter Moran

that is the allopath song "produce" the cures ---and show us our med is
worthless. Nice myth. Allopaths have gone out of there way to suppress
those docs as issels and otehrs have found out, so why would they go to you?

I didn't say come to me, but they are welcome if they have some decent
data.. And the reason they should produce the evidence is for the
benefit of cancer sufferers everywhere. Did you forget about them?

The "persecuted hero", beloved of alternaitve supporters, is a total
myth. The reason there is no evidence is that there is no evidence.
I have done my damnedest to find confirmable evidence that any
alternative method is regularly curing cancer and am still prepared to
look at such. But your second and third hand accounts of what someone
purportedly did decades ago are worthless. Whenever I have tried to
confirm such stuff I either find it completely baseless or the parties
concerned are not prepared to back up their claims.

Yes, very high concentrations can be acheived by intravenous injections
but there is as yet no solid evidence that this has any useful
purpose, or is safe for any long period.

Works best on what? And how do you know? Supplementation with both
these vitamins have been associated with higher mortality rates in some
studies.

Yes studies can be flawed, but a very large number of interventional
and observational studies have been now performed using vitamin
supplements, with in general negative results, and even the suggestion
of harm in some instances, such as higher ocerll mortality rates in
people taking high doses of vitamin E and a poorer prognosis for lung
cancer patients using B carotene.

Traced back, the only evidence for benefit from supplementation has
come from observational studies where levels of intake of vitamins was
probably merely a marker for a more healthful lifestyle in other
respects. These have been promoted mercilessly by the vitamin
pushers, when it now seems that people would have been much healthier
if they had concentrated on their diet, keeping their weight down and
exercising more. In a lot of recent studies a better diet has been
shown to be a far more influential factor on health than
supplementation.

Doing a Medline search on "diet and vitamins" will priibably bring up
many for you to look at.

What is wrong with those words, Jan?

I realise that most (if not all) research done by alternative medicine
spruikers (when it is done at all, of course) is insubstantial, false,
unconvincing, easy, obfuscated, unreasonable, insignificant,
incredible, uncompelling, rare, indirect, unreliable, inadequate and
vaporous, but do you really need to point this out every time a piece
of real research is mentioned? Do you want to make alternauts seem
incompetent?
