    I thought the same about the one pushing resveratrol. But CSN seems to think it's fine.

    Hi Guys,
    It does sound like this guy wants to make a buck but I went to "cancer-prevention.net and they have all these "Natural" remedies. Like Zeolite there are Blue green Algea, MSM, Oxy Elements Plus and many other "Amazing Recovery Stories" that make us all want to spend thousands of dollars for a "Miracle Cure". I must say I'm a little gullible and wanted to believe the Resveratrol Story. So, guess what, I went out and bought 100% Welch's Grape Juice. Oh, well, it's cheap anyway.
    This Zeolite stuff and the rest they recommend by these people may be good for you but there ARE no Miracle Cures plus they break your pocket book.
    But this guy is definately trying to make a buck.
    And YAAAY! Kathi M. Congrats on last chemo!

    I just want to say that when you are faced with a life that has no quality to it and you are told there is nothing more that can be done to control the pain you are feeling I think we all can look further than the medical community.
    My point is that my taking a natural product helped me in the long run to gain the quality I so needed for a life to live. As it turned out the price was what my medication regime cost me without the side effects I was suffering.
    I think we have to do what we can to help ourselves and if we are unhappy with our outcomes there are things out there to help us change it.
    Be good to yourself always,

    I agree, completely, and if I were told there was no more the medical community could do I'd be out there looking. I believe, however, that this type of "advertising" has no place on this board. The web is filled with alternative medicine and if anyone wants help finding them we can suggest links for them to follow. I resent, deeply, the deletion of messages left by breast cancer survivors and regulars to this board when CSN permitts these postings to remain.

    I don't defend such messages just wanted my opinion known. YOU have a point about what the site officials remove from board. You are right this is no place for marketing products and take offence to those that do.
