Hello friends

Did you know that today, ever 4 Americans, there is one diagnosed with cancer? In 2008, there are about 565,650 Americans expected to die of cancer. Every day, 1500 people lives are taken by cancer. It is accounted for 1 of every 4 deaths. Cancer is the second most common cause of death in the US, exceeded only by heart diseases, and if current trends continue and we don't do anything about it, it is expected to be the leading cause of death by the year 2010.
People are waking up to this scary fact. More are becoming aware of what leads to cancer and are taking steps to prevent it from developing by making adjustment to their lifestyle. The other good news is that early detection, diagnosis and treatment have improved the odds dramatically. In 1995, over 50% of cancer patients survived five years or more after diagnosis and treatment. The American Cancer Society estimates that an additional 25-30% of all cancer deaths could be prevented with earlier diagnosis and treatment.

Thanks for all friends

The report apparently shows there are 2,000 deaths/year from unnecessary surgery; 7000 deaths/year from medication errors in hospitals; 20,000 deaths/year from other errors in hospitals; 80,000 deaths/year from infections in hospitals; 106,000 deaths/year from non-error, adverse effects of medications - these total up to 225,000 deaths per year in the US from iatrogenic causes which ranks these deaths as the # 3 killer.
But this is medical errors. Sorry I couldn’t find anything about alternative medicine cause.

Conventional medicine treats by consumption of, or exposure to harmful substances; alternative medicine treats by extremely natural, minimally invasive, and harmless techniques. The healers cited miraculous cures of serious cancer, paralysis, and even HIV through simple and harmless treatment, making one wonder why we don’t embrace them more whole-heartedly.
