    Cancer cures
    That's an interesting article. I was talking recently with a woman newly diagnosed with ovarian cancer and she was going on about some herb that cures cancer, some kind of tea. I let her talk and gently questioned it and she finally admitted that her mother had been taking the "remedy" and it hadn't helped her during her short fight with ovarian cancer. I think she was just grasping at anything that might help because she was still in shock, which is why these companies need to be regulated. It's one thing to offer your product as something that can be added to your daily ritual to increase your health, it's quite another to claim it can cure your cancer. In fact, one thing I told this woman was if it was a cure, don't you think we would all be taking it and cancer would no longer be? Just my two cents.
