Someone made a great post recently on /s/Christianity about fasting and it reminded me of quite a few stories I’ve heard of people beating cancer by going on a water fast. I think most people here will agree that our current understanding of medical science is based more on what’ll make the most money rather than what will be most efficient in healing, so I was wondering what treatments you guys might have heard of. Personally, I’ve come across stories of Chinese herbalists creating strange teas with mushrooms, some suicidal German guy picking mushrooms in a forest and brewing into a tea hoping to poison himself (ended up curing his cancer), a few people going on a water fast for 2 or so months, etc. In other words, I’ve seen many examples of people tackling their cancer independent of a hospital, which would usually prescribe $500-a-pill medications, or completely destroy your immune system by flooding your body with chemotherapy. TL:DR I’ve had many friends and family, too many to count, die of chemotherapy when trying to treat their cancer at a hospital (only one survived). Likewise, I know one person who went to a chinese herbalist after being told they had 3 months to live, and the tea they got gave them an extra 30 years... So what do you guys think are some ways to treat cancer that the medical industry is failing/refusing to consider? I have to say, I’m especially pissed that not enough attention is being given to water fasting.
