(5,075 posts)1. How about a little description?
That would help me decide if I want to watch it or not. It looks like it is over an hour long.

(41,205 posts)2. Lodi is a very questionable individual
He argues that one can prevent and treat cancer by all kinds of alternative 'natural' treatments. This ranges from healthy lifestyle measures, like healthy diet and exercise, which do reduce the risk of cancer, but don't cure it; to dangerous and useless treatments such as chelation, coffee enemas, etc.

Ive said it before, and Ive said it more times than I can remember. Purveyors of unscientific medicine dont have the goods. If they had the goods, then their nostrums wouldnt be called alternative medicine anymore; theyd just be medicine. Because they dont have the goods in the form of science and clinical evidence, all that leaves is to attack those who criticize their lack of science and clinical evidence. Most recently, we saw this in the reaction of the British Chiropractic Association, which is suing Simon Singh over the most bogus of reasons, and in the grande dame of the anti-vaccine movement whose star has been eclipsed by that of Jenny McCarthy, Barbara Loe Fisher who, while calling for a fearless conversation about vaccines, has been cowering behind the law to try to shut down just such a conversation.
This time around, we have a particularly despicable example. Dr. Thomas Lodi, who on his website An Oasis of Healing bills himself as Homeopathic Physician, Metabolic Medicine, Internal Medicine, Integrative Oncology, and Certified Nutrition Specialist, has decided that he didnt like a cancer patient by the name of Seanty criticizing his claims about chemotherapy, has sent through his Director of Marketing Shayla McCallum a legal threat demanding that he take down his post or face legal action for defamation.
The stupid, it burns, my precious.

...this video is almost unwatchable. The lack of polish and technical sophistication of the filmed presentation does the material a grave disservice and opens the material and presenter to the above attacks.
There are more articulate advocates and plenty of 'sciency' evidence that cancer is not the terminal condition proposed by the American Cancer Industry and that consideration of diet, environment and mental health should take place alongside the conventional treatments.
