I started on antiviral medications which<br />reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus<br />became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from<br />ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC there website is (ultimatelifeclinic. com) in March, 2020. Their<br />treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after<br />the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing<br />treatment!

If selenium cured cancer, then it would be a standard treatment for cancer. Obviously there is no good evidence to back up a treatment regiment of selenium. Quacks are really good at taking something that has killed cancer cells in a culture and then claiming it cures cancer. It is incredibly predatory towards people with cancer, because to them it really looks like "good science".

The only research done so far that has been effective against cancer is in cell culture. Lots of things work in culture but not in a whole person. There are a few studies looking at supplementation of selenium in people with cancer. Not all good news by any means. I have a PhD in molecular biology and plan on doing some more digging into Simon's claims about selenium. scienticianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15759324730554512703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9220010756067874210.post-60097194399436395592015-04-14T07:35:11.628-05:002015-04-14T07:35:11.628-05:00You are so right about them taking advantage of de...You are so right about them taking advantage of desperate people. My friend was an intelligent man, well educated and used to evaluating things before making decisions. If he was in his normal frame of mind, he'd have been highly skeptical of the "vitamin" cure, but sadly he was told in no uncertain terms that his chances of survival with his type of cancer was 3%. He'd have sold his soul to the devil if he thought he could prolong his life and spend more time with his family. And this is when these insidious people wormed their way past his defences and into his mind with their promises of cures. They sold their home to fund this treatment! I can't get over the fact that someone thought that was okay.<br /><br />I've had some dealingsa with complete nutters when looking for something to help my husband who contracted Lyme Disease and Tick-borne encephalitis in 2011. He was a very, very sick man and I scoured every corner of the internet in an attempt to find as much about the disease as I could. That srea also abounds with people willing to treat him at a cost that also involves us selling our house and using the same arguments about doctors and Big Pharma being in bed with each other and denying sick people a cure. Luckily I am something of a skeptic and questioned things very thoroughly, which apparently they don't like. You simply have to believe, without a scrap of empirical evidence that they can cure Lyme with raw milk, or juicing or all meat diet or a three year course of antibiotics or blueberries and a secret herbal mix, just to name a few. They really have no shame.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04088355577823930786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9220010756067874210.post-59134422811259675242015-04-14T03:32:04.946-05:002015-04-14T03:32:04.946-05:00The "first" coconut water with vodka?

I know her sycophants jumped on me once on facey because I gently implored her to go see a proper doctor. I was being "negative" of course, and Jess could not have any "negative" energy around her. Instead of getting all that "negative energy," she laid in bed and bled non-stop from her arm for many months. Can't experience anything negative, now can we? <br /><br />When will these people understand that there is nothing positive about being in denial regarding something as serious as terminal cancer?
