What would the Paph Goddess Do?

My take was never that Lance was encouraging a switch from chemo to herbal remedies, more that the herbal remedy might provide some relief from chemo discomfort....

100% correct Eric. I would never suggest otherwise. I have been told Cat's Claw (Uncaria tomentosa) when taken between (not during) chemo treatments has reduced or eliminated the side effects of the treatment. Since Patrix said he was suffering from side effects of chemo due to a reduced immune system I thought he might like to know about an alternative.
The articles I linked to are not sales propaganda but rather a history of the modern discovery of a medicinal plant once reserved for the Inca royal family. They are a good read.

But this is exactly my point... You can use both, it is not and should not be one or the other.

There is a difference between natural and manufactured.

Therein lies the reality check.

Once again Eric..... no reality check. Using both would mean using both the phyton or clearys AND whatever natural item you choose. However, thats kinda pointless since it goes against the whole reason to go natural in the first place. right?

NOope.

A lion has no choice, it must eat meat.
A cow has no choice, it must eat vegetables.
A human has a choice, it can have both steak and salad if desired.

Why not use free will and use all elements at hand?

Who said anything about "go natural"?

Salad? Aint that that green stuff they put around the meat and taters?

Yep. Packing material.

P.S. Heather, I thought you were the Paph Goddess. :wink:

Am I the only one who saw this?
