Just read the article written by Fergus Walsh on the BBC website concerning the judges ruling on Neon Roberts. In it he states that 'many would have little sympathy for Mrs Roberts...'
Well i really hope that it is his opinion and his only, as I'm sure Mrs Roberts has read much about the effects of radiotherapy and the damage that it can do. Any parent would be looking for all the options and trying to find the least harmful. It is such a pity that we are so backward in this country that we are still allowing the Cut, Burn and Poison method to be the 'gold standard' We are living in the dark ages and not allowing our Dr's to explore other methods that are used successfully in other places.
Instead these methods are mocked and ridiculed yet are effective without the worst of side effects, note i didn't say 'no side effects' but what the best options and least harmful may be.
First rule of medicine is 'First do no harm'
Dr Stanislaw Burzynski from Texas, has been doing some fantastic work with antineoplastons for brain tumours but this poor doctor spends so much time defending himself in court as one drug company after another hunt him down.
Yet so far no conviction is ever made as patient after patient step in to prove the effectiveness of his treatment. His problem he is one man with one patent that if his methods took off, would hit the profits of the drug companies.
He must be effective or why are these 'giants' so worried about the work of one man.
Any parent sufficiently informed of the consequences of the treatment on offer here, is of course going to want to make sure nothing else is available.
Mrs Roberts is the mother, she knows how sick her child is i'm sure and wants only what is the best for him, she doesn't happen to believe the 'party line' that radiotherapy is the best and she may well be right! How awful for her to even be in this dilemma, so I think and hope that Mr Walsh is way off public opinion and that any parent would have the utmost sympathy for her right now.
Wouldn't it be great to have seen a piece of journalism that looked at what other methods are being used and the effectiveness of them - not with the usual bias but with a true search for the truth, even if that doesn't match government diktat on cancer treatment.
When a recent risk assessment table was published on 'lifes risks' we are as much at risk from taking the correct treatment at the correct time at the given dose as being a soldier in Afghanistan and I'm guessing not many of us are signing up for that one.
Given the news of the leaked document from GSK that shows 36 babies died after receiving the 6 in 1 vaccination many within hours and that this was covered up, is it any wonder that parents are quite rightly sceptical and long may it be if this is the result of behaving like sheep and dutifully doing what the Dr says.
Dr's know what drug companies tell them, Ministers know what drug companies tell them.....all looks a little dangerous don't you think? Profit being the bottom line.
So I think Mrs Roberts under difficult circumstances and a forced time pressure is very brave to have tried to find another route and delay this dark age method.
Many are forced down the cut burn poison route as they are told they have to act quickly, well many tumours have probably been growing for sometime before they give symptoms and the best thing is to remember to take your time. You had the tumour long before you knew it and you are still alive, it doesn't suddenly gallop on just because you are aware of it, think the situation through and don't be forced into the only one option we all seem to get given.
I really can't believe that there are mothers out there with any sense that would be feeling 'little sympathy' for Mrs Roberts - quite the opposite i hope.
Well Mr Walsh, how about a piece on the restrictiveness of the cancer act or why our Dr's act in fear or a real tough one - what is that cover up in GSK all about.
How about a piece on where does all that money go that people run for, race for etc etc in the vain hope that a 'cure' is just around the corner...well its a mighty big corner and the monies vast but the improvement negligible and in areas, its got worse.
So how about an investigative piece of journalism to see where that graciously given money goes and where else or what else it might be better aimed at if ever we are to truly want a cure for cancer.
The body doesn't develop cancer because of a lack of a chemotherapy drug!!! In the same way that we don't develop so called high cholesterol because we lack a statin.
