  1. 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?

    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.

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