Hmmm that’s not good at all, and a prime example of when doctors are right, but sometimes Mothers are right. When I was 3 months old, I became very ill. My ma took me to see the doctor who said I had a cold and sent me away.

My ma knew it was something else and took me to hospital, demanding to be seen. It turns out I had bacterial meningitis. My mum was told it was unlikely that I would make it, and if I did I would likely suffer severe brain damage.

She sat by my bed, day and night and knitted me a jumper, she said she knew I would make it and I did, with no adverse side affects.

Doctors should always be taken completely seriously, but sometimes, a Mothers’ intuition is right. Mine saved my life.

Please cite the peer-reviewed scientific studies which show that “natural remedies to cancer (when done properly) are more effective than the Western ‘drugs&radiation’ approach.”, I’m sure there are many doctors who would love to see them.

I would have to assume you are a pharmaceutical doctor (and I say “pharmaceutical” to differentiate you from holistic, Chinese, or traditional doctors, so as to highlight the difference between those and doctors who have obtained medical degrees to support the pharmaceutical industry). If you did multiple-source research, you would find out that natural remedies to cancer (when done properly) are more effective than the Western “drugs&radiation” approach. Personally, I applaud the mother and so should you!

P.S. Why do you think doctors know better than the parents? And consider this: how many breasts have been lost to mastectomies that could have been saved if the women took matters into their own hands.
