THE CAUSE OF CML

hello dear friend
I tried to send the following info to the CMLSUPPORT .CO.UK
but couldn't get through for some reason.
I saw your name and address and thought you might consider posting
this for me,Thanks.

hello everybody
I was diagnosed with CML in mid 2005.
I recently started working with a Naturopath, who helped many folks
get cured from various cancers, including Leukemia.

the Naturopath gave me the 'shocking news' no one in the medical establishment would like to hear or agree with :
LEUKEMIA IS CAUSED BY A VIRUS( including CML)
therefore I've started working with the Naturopath,while still taking Gleevec.
when the time comes Gleevec will be dropped from my 'menu'.

with discipline and dedication CML CAN BE CURED NATURALLY!!!
I'll let you do your own homework,looking this info up on line, as well as
finding a reputable Naturopath in your area who agrees with the cause I mentioned .
and remember that your will power to do it is half the battle .

with the grace of God ,when I complete this journey of recovery
I believe I'll be in a better position to disclose more info .
blessing to you all.

(you may post this on your site
but please do not disclose my e-mail address)

The first thing I would like to say is that we would absolutely NOT RECOMMEND anyone to come off Glivec to follow a 'natural' path. The fact that this person wishes to withdraw his/her email address makes me suspicious.
I find this post a little irresponsible as there are no facts, no information, no results. Such a post could mislead some patients into thinking that CML can be cured/controlled naturally.
Until there is documented evidence to support this, I would urge all of you to carry on with your medication and to take it as directed by your doctor. Glivec is frontline therapy for CML in the UK, Europe, US and many other countries worldwide and has had unprecedented results in the treatment of CML backed by published data.
I apologise if this sounds a bit harsh for those wishing to go the 'natural' route but I absolutely do not wish any patients to be misled by an anonymous post.
Best wishes
Elizabeth

I 100% agree with Elizabeth.

I find the whole email very strange as the person does not want to be identified, even under a pseudonym.

Lets be frank. There is no known cure for CML other than a BMT. Glivec and other medications offers remission but not a cure and a good lease on life.
If a naturopath way was so good why is it not used in all types of cancer. Why dont the Goldmans and Druckers of this CML world taken to prescibing this type of action.I would be very careful about any change to your consultants prescribed course of medication and would certainly not recommend stopping Glivec or any similar type of medication.

There is a place for alternative medication and healing but taken in conjunction with the highly acclaimed and proven types of proper and informed doctoring.
Let this person come forward with some hard documented evidence that corroborates his/her claim for a cure. I don't believe it exists. Of Course having a positive mental attitude goes a very long way in helping and abating this cancer.

Please let this person come forward and identify him or herself and lets talk openly about this.

This site we hope is about openness and frankness and is of very real and GREAT benefit to many many people around the world.

Anyone commenting on this site should feel very welcome and not be ashamed to put a name to a posting.

Other comments are appreciated.
