Couldn't agree more. Modern medicine will probably just collapse from lack of customers at some point. Perhaps then it could become more of what it should be: a healing art.

When my husband was diagnosed with glioblastoma, he did the surgery in the US and we pursued immunotherapy in Mexico instead. He did not survive past 1 year, but he had an excellent year, despite the fact that the tumor was very aggressive and in one of the worst places possible (right temporal lobe affecting speech and right sided movement, the latter at the end). He was fully functional that year and worked on his computer until the last month. The day before his second surgery, about 11 months after he should have been diagnosed, he cut down 7 trees in the backyard.

Simply could not control the edema after 2nd surgery and he died in under 3 weeks.

The immunotherapy (6 days a week of nutritional IVs, low dose insulin potentiated chemo, laetrile, GMCSF, Coley's toxins, etc.) for about 1/2 year cost us HALF what standard of care (radiation and Temodar) would have costed in the US. And I got the US insurance company to pay for it too (probably wouldn't work today). This was after Obamacare was enacted in 2014.

I would never undergo the dehumanizing experience of "standard of care" cancer treatment in the US for any reason. We had a pretty good longevity MD who operated on a cash basis back in Colorado that would do the low dose chemo.
