Re: [cancercured] Re: Need Input

Elliot,

Don't I know it. As my mother was dying, I tried desperately to get her
to drink the green smoothies I was making for her. But she refused.
The hospice people told my family that it was better to feed Mom ice
cream and pudding. I was horrified. But I realized that it was all
about the belief that she is going to die anyway, might as well let her
eat what she wants. That's what makes me so angry about this ridiculous
misunderstanding concerning alternatives. I firmly believe that if my
mother had been diagnosed two or three weeks earlier, we would have had
a fighting chance to save her life using Budwig. But by the time she
was diagnosed, she was so doped up on morphine, she was unable to focus,
eat, or even understand what was happening to her. If she had had her
wits about her, she would have gone for the alternative treatment
without hesitation.
