"Dave" just now wanted us to believe that cancer cannot exist in a
well-oxygenated (i.e. plenty of oxygen) environment.
Just overheard on a cancer mailing list (part of advice to a newly diagnosed
cancer patient)---
"Even a biopsy will expose the cancer to oxygen, which is NOT good news.
It's like throwing gasoline on a fire (exaggerated, but you can visualize
the picture). "
The quality of advice that alternative supporters offer cancer sufferers is
excruciatingly bad. I suppose they can be forgiven . They are so
ignorant as to know not what they are doing. But whence such wholly
unjustified self-confidence?.
It seems you need an apprenticeship to do plumbing, but you can pick up all
you need to know about treating cancer in a weekend of reading a quack book,
or looking at the web sites of people who are equally ill-equipped for the
task.
