Two to three centuries ago, the American population was quite healthy overall.
Fast forward two to three hundred years, and, despite being one of the technological leaders of the world and being the top national spenders on medical care (spending a very large proportion of its GDP on medical bills), th US today is very heavily diseased and chronically ill. What’s gone wrong? (more…)

Often, we are told of the safety and effectiveness of modern medicine’s methods and treatment techniques. We are told that a certain drug has been thoroughly tested and confirmed to be “safe” for human use. We are told that a certain treatment method has a such-and-such percentage of success. We are told that chemotherapy is a “proven” treatment, with a “proven” track record, with “proven” success rates, and is “proven” to lengthen life.
Yet, how much of these assertions or claims are actually true? (more…)
There are literally dozens of alternative cancer treatment protocols out there which have more than decent, even excellent, track records. Some have been around for a long time, while some are relatively recent discoveries. Some need the supervision of a physician or practitioner, while some can be done on one’s own. Some are more well-known than others.
Here, I would like to highlight two such treatment methods. (more…)
Many people turn to natural and herbal remedies for many minor ailments - headaches, itchy skin, tummy upsets and what not. But when it comes to a serious ailment like cancer, most people freeze.
Yes, it is extremely difficult to walk away from the conventional medical system and conventional cancer treatment. To walk away from prestigious and high-tech hospitals; established and qualified medical doctors and specialists with a long list of credentials; doctors, nurses and other persons of authority dressed in robes; and what is supposedly “proven”. (more…)
The role of mental and emotional health and wellbeing in the prevention of disease as well as the promotion of good health and vitality cannot be over-emphasized. They are, quite simply put, absolutely crucial.
In fact, some healing modalities place mental and emotional issues at the top of the list of all causes of diseases. Certainly, trauma, stress and negativity in these areas are extremely toxic to our bodies, perhaps even more so than physical toxins and poisons. In this article, a few studies linking cancer and mental and emotional outlook are briefly discussed, and links are provided to more detailed write-ups. (more…)
Almost every day or every other day, there is news on studies which link certain foods or environmental factors with cancer.
The great news is, more often than not, anything which prevents or fights cancer also promotes good health and vitality in other ways. On the flip side, whatever causes cancer would usually also be linked to other degenerative diseases. (more…)
Have you ever heard of German New Medicine, or GNM for short? I hadn’t, until I recently conversed with a lady who fully recovered from ovarian cancer and peritoneal tumors using this system of healing.
Basically, based on my limited understanding, GNM is a healing protocol based on the fundamental assumption that disease has its root in emotional issues, in other words, that all diseases originate from unexpected shock experiences. (more…)
With the passage of time, Man develops better and safer methods of detecting and diagnosing disease. As long as the profit interests of certain parties do not dominate, it is hopeful that overall progress will be made.

Prof Landrigan is also Chairman of the Department of Community & Preventive Medicine. (more…)
Would you allow a car mechanic who does not know how, or does not dare, to fix his own car, to fix yours?
Would you dare to live a house whereby the person who constructed it did not feel it safe enough to step into? (more…)
I have been seeing some stories lately about how colonoscopy is only effective for detecting cancer in the left side of the colon (i.e. the descending colon), and not the right side of it (i.e. the ascending colon).
What really alarms me is how I have seen several headlines which go ‘colonoscopies only prevents X% of colon cancer’, or something along those lines. (more…)
In general, I would like to focus more on health-promoting methods, rather than harp on the shortcomings and failures of conventional medicine and its organizations. But, at times, I also do feel the need to raise certain issues.
Late last year, an issue surfaced whereby a group of scientists from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) Division accused their managers broke the rules in the review of medical equipment. (more…)
Conventional medicine, or, as it is called in the present day, allopathic medicine, had, many decades ago, declared a “war on cancer”. It has been so many years, yet, nothing very much has changed - the savage methods of surgery (cutting), radiation (burning) and chemotherapy (poisoning) are still widely used.
What has changed, is that the rates of people getting cancer are increasing all the time, and the number of people dying from the disease is climbing too. (climbing, or flying?) (more…)
