Would this constitute a Cancer "Cure"?

It would probably have been something like this:

The civil case was filed by Esther and Jose Figueroa of
New York City against Clark, the Dr. Clark Research
Association, Century Nutrition, and several associated
individuals. Mrs. Figueroa, who had been medically
diagnosed with breast cancer, sought treatment in
September 1998. The court papers state that she was told:

Dust from her apartment was responsible for her breast cancer.
Returning to her apartment would place her at special risk
to develop leukemia because of her blood type.
She had asbestos, lead, and a lot of copper in her system.
The Syncrometer detected a parasite called "rabbit fluke"
inside her breast. She also had E. coli, asbestos, and
salmonella due to improper food sterilization. Several teeth
should be removed and "cavitations" in her lower
jaw should be scraped out.

The suit also charged that Clark subsequently arranged for all
of Mrs. Figueroa's front and molar teeth to be removed,
prescribed more than 30 dietary and herbal supplements
to be taken during a 12-week period, and badly burned
her breast while administering treatment with a "Zapper" device.
During the 3-month period of treatment, the tumor increased
from 1.5 cm to 14 cm. Despite this fact, Mrs. Figueroa was
falsely told that she was getting better, that tests for "cancer
markers" were negative, and that pain she was experiencing
did not reflect persistence of her cancer.

He'd probably be dead. JMHO.

He's lucky - he had early stage cancer which could be treated, had the
cancer spread his outcome would not have been so grand.

In February of 1982, when he was 55 years old, my husband was diagnosed
with Testicular Cancer. He had surgery (recovered quickly from that) &
then his oncologist suggested a radiation program "just to be on the
safe side". This was a little harder as it affected is energy level
during & post for awhile.

However, he seems to have fully recovered as he's had no recurrence of
cancer anywhere in his body since, save he occasionally develops basel
cell cancers on his face, though none in the last five years. At 75
he's still an ardent downhill skier, but gave up deep sea diving several
years ago as it was "too strenuous".

Now that we know about alternative medicine (which we didn't in 1982), I
wonder what his chances would have been if he had seen a naturopath or a
homeopathic practitioner instead of going the "traditional" route?
