1. I'm Chinese, and even *I* don't believe in THAT! There's no cure for cancer yet; there's treatment as in chemotherapy. If you WANT to try Chinese medicine, go ahead. What can it hurt...?
2. I don't think so
3. If it did than these Chinese parents would not have needed to travel to the US looking for treatment for their child: http://www.dsrct.com/monmon.htm "The Orange County Register April 22, 2004 Teen takes steps away from death's door Author: GREG HARDESTY A half-eaten Snickers bar on a desk. A Christina Aguilera DVD atop a stack of videos. Stuffed animals. Over the past three months, a hospital room in Orange has vividly come to life with the trappings of a teenage girl -- a transformation that has startled nurses and doctors who never expected her to live. On Wednesday, in a constant stream of embraces, they all came to say goodbye to Mon Mon Chen, 15, whose recovery from an extremely rare and malignant cancer at UCI Medical Center has been hailed ``miraculous'' by her doctor. The Chen family is from China but will not be going far. A family friend in Newport Beach is taking them in as they pursue a new life, despite huge financial obstacles. Mon Mon's discharge was a happy moment for her and her family and for staffers on the pediatrics ward who routinely deal in heartbreak. ``Today, she will leave with us from the hospital to enjoy springtime and again smell the flowers of life,'' Mon Mon's father, Ping Chen, 45, wrote in a thank-you note he painstakingly translated into English from his native Mandarin. ``What, are you trying to make us cry?'' nurse Wendi Watkins said as the Chens presented her and staff members with the note and a basket of goodies. Mon Mon's recovery from desmoplastic small round-cell cancer, which has attacked only about 100 people worldwide, is as dramatic as her parents' efforts to save her. Ping Chen and his wife, Lailing, 42, once upper-middle-class entrepreneurs in the modern south China city of Guangzhou, sold their luggage manufacturing business and all their possessions after Mon Mon got sick in August. They spent everything trying to save their only child, but doctors in China were baffled by the rare cancer. They told the Chens their only hope was to seek treatment in the United States. Borrowing money from relatives and relying on the kindness of a longtime American friend in Newport Beach, the Chens showed up in the emergency room of UCI Medical Center on Jan. 23. Mon Mon was near death. A tumor in her abdomen was the size of a football. Another had invaded the lining of her right lung, choking off oxygen. Her heart and kidneys were failing."
4. There will always be people somewhere that hand out empty promises to desperate people. The big attraction is the money in pockets of those poor souls. Not sure if your remember that clinic in Mexico that promised the same. I personally know of people that sought help for their desperately ill child. Any hope but what they got instead was a dead child & owing money they didn't have. They were broke. If these claims were valid why are famous people we know fighting cancer here in North America just as the rest of us do. Don't you think with all their money they would go for it. Think it is best to sticck with what we know &pray something will come along to help these poor people.
