In reply to Katie.

I think Yvonne was very clear on how these are not supposed to replace “traditional cancer-killing methods,” which by when we say that we really mean western, elitist, methods. Not to mention I think that silencing this knowledge that has been passed down by our colonized/indigenous ancestors is an act of terrorism, ESPECIALLY when pharmaceutical companies have tried getting a patent on turmeric, AND are probably just waiting for more studies to prove that these foods may indeed help cancer patients heal to somehow make a profit out of it. There is nothing wrong with promoting any of these foods in order to heal us, as my mother would say “si bien no te hace mal tampoco.” If you don’t know what that means Katie look it up.

Frankly, if people who are fighting cancer decided to give up on western medicine and follow an alternative route for healing WE and only WE should be able to decide that. I know too many people that have also died in the hands of renowned doctors and chemotherapy.

Your comment is insulting and it brought tears to my face because I don’t know if you have any idea the pain that we cancer patients go through. The many times we feel helpless in the hands of condescending doctors. And since when is poisoning our body with chemotherapy and chopping up our insides a traditional fucking approach to healing. GTFO.
