Court forcing 16 yr old with cancer into chemo

[wendybeth]

I know two people that fought off Hodgkins, and from what I know of it a macrobiotic diet and apricot pits won't cut it. It has a highly successful cure rate when the appropriate conventional meds are used, and while I understand the concerns with regards to the horrible toxins in chemo, it's an alternative to dead. I see no apparent reason why there couldn't be a fusion of both, excepting any possible negative interaction with the alternative and conventional meds. St. Johns Wart is used in many alternative meds, but it doesn't mix well with many conventional. Same with grapefruit or derivitives of grapefruit. The med practicioners would have to check their collective egos at the door and really work together to make it feasible.
