    apparently not someone's cup of tea...

    Why the all wait?  I would go find the natural MET inhibitors, like EGCG in green tea extract.   Oh, yes EGCG is already in the LEF recommendations mix for CRC, perhaps more there.

    i hate to say i told you so

    it brings no consolation for onc to years later indicate, supplements may help.

    the medical estashblishmemt are cullpible in many ways.

    i have had so many greenteas and no coffee except the enemas for years.

    one day the onc will advocae enemas, like they did up until the 1970s , that will an equally bitter sweet day.

    conventional has no choice to embrace the best of alternative and complementary, it will just take so long.

    i am back in hospital right now, getting my chemo port installed , 3 years today the day I had my first colonoscopy, when my tumour was found.

    still this is good news, thanks steve.

    hugs,

    pete

    ps and tans how good is lef! so many of their recommendations. i remember sharing my excitement of finding them here, in the goold old days I was shot straight between the eyes, for suggesting them and having faith in their science and recommendations. alas time tells alot in this game. I think its time to reread the lef bible, and see the latest.
