Clinic to cure cancer?
Does anyone know anything about clinics that offer an alternative cure to cancer. I’ve read that they have clinics in Mexico that offer this. How much would this cost? My mother is in stage 4 and would it be possible to get get there before her time?
The alternative treatment I heard about was a complete change to the diet in order to have her body fight off the cancer not any sort of magic machine. My governemt/ economics teacher even mentioned this to me last year in school from articles he read. In the articles he read the doctors claimed that our healthcare is corrupt and that the cure for cancer had been figured out years ago. The cure they claimed was our immune system. Seeing that I know absolutely nothing about nutrition and never took a class that taught it in high school I want to send her somewhere she can be taken care of.
I’m sorry to hear about your mother. Stage 4 cancer is not considered curable, though depending on the type of cancer it can sometimes be managed for lengthy periods.
There are indeed clinics in Mexico that claim to provide cures for cancer; are located in Mexico because it is illegal in the US to claim to be able to cure cancer without providing proof of that claim – and none of them can provide such proof. They are happy to exploit desperate and vulnerable people and take their cash in exchange for horrendously expensive treatments which are at best ineffective and sometimes dangerous.
As you’ve asked this in the altmed section, you’re likely to get a number of answers from people swearing by their pet cures for cancer. On thing you can be 100% sure of is that none of them will have cured their own cancer using their recommended method, nor will they have known anyone personally who has. Ask them.
I’m sorry, there are no ‘alternative cures’. I’m truly sorry about your mother, but I’d urge you to think very carefully before investing money and – more seriously – hope in unproven and discredited ‘cures’. At least doe a search on this site for facts on any particular ‘alternative’ that may interest you

EDIT: my point proven – I suspect ‘dbobo’ means Dr Burzynski. His treatments have not been proven to cure cancer. You can read more about him and his treatments in the answers to this question: http://au.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110611021806AAa05Pj
Cancertutor is a bastion of quackery featuring every and any unproven and disproven a’alternative cancer treatment’
There are clinics in Mexico that will take her money, but they cannot offer her a cure. Please read this story:

And if that’s not enough, try this one (warning, there are photos of severe damage caused by quack treatments):

EDIT: Think carefully about what people are saying. What benefit would there be to the medical community at large in suppressing a known, proven cancer cure? That’s absurd. People who are dead don’t pay for medical care. People who are ill will pay a lot for a proven cure. It’s simply illogical to conjecture that the medical community is secreting away a proven cancer cure. If we had a cure, they would be using it to cure people. And if somebody in Mexico had a cure, the Western medical community would pay them untold riches to mass-market that cure.
check out dr. brzezinski in texas, he’s curing cancer
also checkout the cancer tutor website for more info.
There are no valid "alternative" treatments for cancer.
Eating properly might keep you in better spirits, but that’s about it.
