My Malignant Melanoma

A concerned friend of a melanoma patient has written to me to ask about naturopathy in general and a naturopath called Etienne Callebout in particular. Of course naturopathy is little more than systematised quackery, but let's have a quick look at the things Callebout's publicity says he uses to treat cancer:

714X-Quackery
Aloe vera-Quackery
Amygdalin (laetrile)- Quackery
Bovine cartilage - Quackery
DMSO - Quackery

- you get the idea.

Wobe-Mugos enzymes - worthless
Glandulars - senseless
Green tea can be a nice drink, but does not cure cancer.
Iscador -is a trade name for mistletoe extract which "has no proven benefit and can cause harm"
Flaxseed oil - extremely questionable
Maitake - extremely questionable
Shark cartilage - Quackery
Homeopathic remedies - there are no such things

A quick glance over the 'net shows that these are just a small selection from Callebout's extensive arsenal of nice little earners. Cancer Patients Beware!
