June 28, 2004 As one who has practiced and studied Macrobiotics for nearly 30 years, after having experienced the gruesome trauma of loosing both parents to colon cancer, I am deeply concerned as to the tenor of recent articles published by major news outlets against the use of natural medicines. Many of these reports appear to be influenced by certain commercial interests, not particularly those of people whom are ill and seek a cure without harmful secondary effects. Modern medicine takes a back door approach to cancer treatment when it pretends to alleviate the symptoms with pharmaceuticals and surgery and neglects to address the fundamental causes; which is generally a diet excessive in animal fat, refined carbohydrates and sugar, America’s most favorite foods. Oncologists, purposefully or otherwise, display a notable ignorance toward cure and prevention through diet, a treatment that can permanently eliminate most cancers from the blood stream. Last year the BBC published a survey that claims the majority of pharmaceutical medicines prescribed by doctors did absolutely nothing to better a patient’s health, much less cure illness. The meager statistics as regards the prolongation of life expectancy for cancer patients receiving chemical based treatments sadly corroborates this. To hail the addition of a few months, even a couple of years, of abject misery and pain as a major medical success is absolutely disheartening; so much so when one considers that simply eating the proper diet can cure a great amount of these cancers, without producing harmful side effects. Many oncologists know this, but willfully engage in deleterious practices when they prescribe extremely invasive and ultimately useless chemical therapies. I am painfully aware that there is absolutely no money in prescribing something so healthy as a diet of whole grains and vegetables, accompanied by a therapy so economical as 50 chews per mouthful. Please call upon the medical profession to publish the number of cases that present adverse reactions to conventional medicines such as chemotherapy and radiation. Most likely the amount of adverse reactions -- such as death-- to these conventional therapies will far outweigh those caused by natural medicines. Ask the World Health Organization, the National Cancer Institute, the American Cancer Society and the American Society of Clinical Oncology to make public the truth of what the so called “regulated” medicaments do to the human body; and, if they had the prescience to gather them, to present figures of the survival rate of patients that elected to undertake natural therapies such as Macrobiotics. I am willing to wager the results will be astonishing. ------------ About the author: Louis J. De Deaux is from Cali, Colombia.
