ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE
Only hope for cancer says naturopathic doctor
THE VALUE of the complementary medicine industry is growing annually and so, too, are the offerings for those who want to fight debilitating diseases like breast cancer.
From using herbs and potions to artificial intelligence, Jamaica is not short of those willing to help cancer patients wage war against the disease at a cost – of course. Policymakers have been hardpressed to put a monetary figure to this growing industry, but worldwide, the nutraceutical industry, which is just one component of complementary medicine, is estimated to value billions. Jamaica Promotions Corporation (JAMPRO) estimated in 2015 that its value would reach US$424 billion by this year. One local naturopathic doctor told
The Gleaner that several of his clients are outside of Jamaica. The doctor, who wishes to remain anonymous says that more and more, he is being approached by those with cancer and many have declared healing after sticking to his programme.
“We do have a reputation associated with cancer, but we don’t treat cancer. We use highly intelligent computer software to find out what is wrong with the body at a scientific level, and we simply correct that, and the people who do that, they cure their own cancer,” said the naturopathic doctor, who has been in the industry for more than 25 years.
As far as he is concerned, “The only hope for cancer is alternative medicine.”
“When you look at the medical texts, the scientific literature, what is used, the chemotherapy and the radiation, they cannot cure cancer,” he said.
Through artificial intelligence, he said that he simply teaches people how to heal. Clients are hooked up to a computer that reads their body and gives a printout of what needs to be done to correct the abnormalities.
“It looks at the abnormalities in the energetic pathways, abnormalities in nutritional status, and abnormalities in the toxic load of the body and how much it can carry. Once these things are identified and you actually put the patient on a path, they go out and heal themselves. I have nothing to do with it,” he said.
