190956 - Alternative Movements Seek Tolerance But Do Not Tolerate Others
190957 -
190958 - For some reason "alternative treatment" with diet and exercise ignore
190959 - complementary, affirmative medical care with chemotherapy, radiation,
190960 - and surgery.  There is a religious zeal and fanaticism of hope that
190961 - people can "get out of life alive" by avoiding medical treatment
190962 - available from science and industry, reflecting other "alternative"
190963 - movements...

190965 -        1.  Green technology promotes conservation and excludes
190966 -            increasing production of energy with fossil fuels and
190967 -            neuclear technologies.

190970 -        2.  Global warming advocates argue human activity causes ice
190971 -            caps to melt that raise sea level, when natural
190972 -            astrological forces create constant cycles of warming and
190973 -            cooling over hundreds of thousands of years that raise adn
190974 -            lower sea level.
190976 -             ..
190977 -        3.  Environmental advocates object to building a dam that
190978 -            stores water for people to drink and irrigate crops, but
190979 -            rejoice when a volcano or earthquake creates a dam that
190980 -            stores water people can drink and irrigate crops.

190995 - Today, Ron does not comment on the forwarded source, and the source is
190996 - not identified, nor is the document dated; there is no letterhead, and
190997 - no association with a professional journal, or news article.  These
190998 - factors present questions of credibility.  There are a lot of format
190999 - defects in the document, which seems conflicting with publishing
191000 - standards of a major medical institution.
191002 -  ..
191003 - Emphasis on diet, ref SDS 0 HY5T and ref SDS 0 HZ4Y, and exercise,
191004 - ref SDS 0 HZ5X, make a lot sense.  This past weekend, Millie attended
191005 - a seminar that presented alternative cancer treatments.  Exercise was

191046 -            properties of cancer cells and suggesting prevention
191047 -            strategies has begun circulating the Internet. Johns
191048 -            Hopkins did not publish the email, entitled "Cancer Update

191065 - Cancer tips in the hoax email are useful on strengthening the immune

191069 - Millie's patient history on exercise listed today, shows she has
191070 - worked hard to maintain the immune system. ref SDS 8 8G5M

191073 - Millie's doctor recently commented on evident success resisting cancer

191075 - people with Millie's patient history are dead. ref SDS 6 IO63
191077 -  ..
191078 - Suggesting that diet and exercise replace, rather than complement
191079 - medical care, in the case of cancer chemotherayp, radiation, and
191080 - surgery, seems to ignore 2,000 years of medical progress.  Can diet
191081 - and exercise heal a broken leg, or prevent a broken arm in an
191082 - automobile accident?  Or, do diet and exercise aid the healing process
191083 - after surgery to correct medical problems?
