Sep 18 2009Suzanne Somers: 'Chemo killed Patrick Swayze'

hope this bitch dies

These are the same idiots that believe that vaccinations or mercury causes autism, the earth is flat, the bible is true.

Fucking idiots!!

Fuck do I hate these holistic morons. Nutrition builds up the body as well as - shocker - the cancer. If it could be cured by sucking on a root, don't you think doctors would be shoving trees down our throats? Oh I forgot, doctors are part of the cancer conspiracy.

Uuuummmm I thought she was the queen of the thigh machine not a cancer doctor.

SHE IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.

WWW.NATURALNEWS.COM

CHEMO IS THE KILLER. CANCER CAN BE REVERSED.

Jesus fucking Christ woman... that's one of the most fatal forms of cancer. Who really gives a fuck what Suzanne Somers has to say anyways? Her claims to fame were playing a ditzy blonde dipshit on tv series decades ago and the thigh master. Continue to be nonexistent, bitch.

As I like to say (to my holistic family):

I get the toxins out every time I piss and shit.

Don't you guys know about the cure all? All you have to do is shove brokoli up your ass. Try it I swear it works.

Way to try to stay relevant, you pathetic old dried up withered cunt.

Susan Summers, the face of Three's Company and one of three stars that made it such a hit comedy show, continues to define time and still comes out looking great!

Love your show, Susan!

Randal

She should STFU! Chemo has saved a lot of lives. If her child were sick with cancer, would she really trust herbs and colonic cleanses to cure him/her? Patrick Swayze fought a long, hard batter with a deadly disease, shame on her for using his tragic death to garner publicity for her latest book. I have lost any shred of respect I ever had for her. What qualifies Suzanne Summers as a nutritional expert or cancer specialist? Go ahead and write your diet books and promote your thigh master, but this is over-reaching! Yet another celebrity with a run-away ego.

Um, and this is coming from the woman who injected estriol vaginally? and took 60 pills a day? Hormone therapy to fight menopause?

And nice moose knuckle. You're filthy.

It infuriates me to no end, whenever I see these dumbos give medical opinion, we study for years and years and years to be able to give any kind of advice to sick and ailing people, how can these people have the audacity to question wat is an established medical norm is totally beyond my understanding

I'd like to give her a holistic cunt punch.

Actually a study was published recently showing a much higher than expected rate of cancers (of many types) literally "clearing up" over time in people who didn't get treatment. But, the spontaneous recovery rates were lower - often a lot lower - than remission rates after chemo/radiation/surgery, etc. So it turns out that's the real, brutal dilemma: do nothing and have, say, a 25% chance of a spontaneous remission, or live through hell during treatment for a 50% chance of medically-induced remission. Probably it depends on the specific treatment success rates and how sick you're willing to be during your remaining years.

But the "natural" cures, especially the dietary ones, are probably just riding along with the spontaneous recovery rates and claiming them as "holistic successes" - probably these people could have been eating bacon cheeseburgers the whole time. Not to doubt Suzanne Somers' genius-level IQ or anything...

What a stupid b!tch. No MD? Then no comment.

Dumb@$$.

Dumb fuckin' WHORE. STFU!!

You can't even act. Go put a thigh-master up your ass and do a few laps.

Another irrelevant "celebrity" attempting controversy to be put back in the spotlight.

gtfo Kanye.

Seeing that she's hanging out with Pamela Anderson and seems to know everything about medical science maybe she can tell her how to cure her Hep C without drugs, too.

Well I know where to go if I get pancreatic cancers. Fuck the doctors and all their years of studying and knowledge of the human body and medicine.

Did fish declare this "Stupid Bitch Friday?" I love these new themes.

I would so crush that pussy still.

Is she misguided or dumb, I don't think she's the latter. Certainly not guilty by association.

Maybe the chemo did kill him... but if it hadn't, the cancer would have anyway. Eating spinach would not have helped.

Why when someone mentions holistic care do people freak out? There is validity to what she is saying, though it is not right to make assuptions as to what would have helped Patrick. Holistic medicine does have a place in healthcare. People need to be more opened minded! Personal responsibilty plays a big part in natural health, and people love their cheese burgers far too much to try! Other cultures are far more accepting of these methods, like everything else we Americans need to catch up!

In a few hundred years humanity will look back on our learned doctors as ignorant savages. The same way we look back at the doctors of the 16th 17th and 18th century. This man has too much blood, we must remove it. Way to kill George Washington dumbass.

It's possible she's right. Chemo is harsh stuff and it can kill you, but so can cancer without any help at all from chemo. It's certain he'd have died soon (maybe not sooner, but pretty darn soon) if he hadn't been treated. Chemo was the only thing that had ANY chance of saving his life.

this woman is PATHETIC. i have loathed her since she admitted letting her husband [her son's step-father] treat her son like SHIT for his entire childhood. she failed to protect her child from being made to feel like an unwanted step-child in his own home. in this case, if she wants to give advice, let her study medicine for 4 years, do 3 years of residency, then 3 additional years of fellowship, and THEN maybe she can give her ass-backwards opionions. and for the record, she DID get traditional medical intervention in treating her own cancer, and THEN went the holistic route. STUPID.

ok this is bull shit!!!!!! people who say it'll just clear are fucking dumb shits! an cancer will eventually try to take over your whole body an also make them feel like shit for there live. iif u never had cancer then u have no fucking idea what the hell ur talking. i blame chemotherapy on me still being alive today.

she's nuts... and apparently not the only one, reading from the comments here...

Actually, she is right.

Chemo is a last-resort treatment. How it works, basically, is that they treat the entire body with powerful toxins in an effort to kill the cancer dies before the rest of the body gives out. It is a last resort.

she might be old, but id hit it twice, and maybe one more time for good measure

Shut the fuck up you stupid bitch. When did you become an Oncologist? I'm sick of these washed up celebrities reclaiming their 15 minutes by coming up with some asinine "i'm a professional..." bullshit. People, stop listening to these idiots, and trust in the people that actually spent time learning about their professions.

I see she's stopped Thigh Mastering....She could use a Boob Master a little bit.

She DID cure her own cancer with diet. Chemo DOES kill. Do some research. Watch the video "food as medicine" on aol video. It will totally change your perspective, and your life.

Suzanna Somers is just speaking out like many more need to do. Don't be a puppet for the major drug companies like the majority of doctors are nowawdays. Please do your own research and think for yourselves.

"...who has a book about cancer coming out next month,"
Shameless exploitation of Swayze's death

Survival rates (living for 5 years after diagnosis) for white men with pancreatic cancer range between 4 and 6 percent. It's one of the most aggressive forms.

Divine intervention would probably not have saved Swayze's life. Sommers needs to stop hyping alternative techniques (hormone replacement therapy included) and do some research before writing books. I'm scared for the people who believe her.

What an ignorant moron. If it were that easy I doubt doctors would have developed chemo on the first place.

Toxins, that sounds very scientific. What med school did she go to?

Chemotherapy kills the disease only slightly faster than it kills the patient. Sadly, chemotherapy / radiation is still the gold standard in treating most cancers and nothing Suzanne Somers says is going to change that.

What truly infuriates me about Somers' efforts is that she's targeting a desperate audience who, because they have cancer, are willing to try just about anything to improve their odds, including buying a book claiming to provide a path to treatment. This insidiously wretched bit of marketing, coming on the heels of Patrick Swayze's death, has guaranteed Somers a first class ticket to hell.

Pancreatic cancer is almost always terminal because detection is so difficult. Patience show a variety of symptoms that could be anything from an ulcer to a slipped vertebrate. Once specific conditions are eliminated, doctors finally order a CT-Scan and find Stage 4 cancer that has already spread to the liver and spleen. At that point, little can be done other that fighting the traditional battle using the traditional methods - and failing virtually each and every time.

Suzanne Somers, in her quest to make money off the death of a celebrity, may cause patients having cancer other than pancreatic to delay proper treatment in hopes that her ridiculous ideas will help.

One wonders how many people will die as a result.

To all you idiots and haters, she is RIGHT ... and it killed Farah Fawcett, too ... cancer can be healed by diet and toxin removal ... she is right and is living proof - she healed her own cancer without chemo OR radiation. It can be done and I know of many people who have done it. Fuck you guys, it can be done. And everyone has toxins that cause all kinds of diseases, due to the shitty, diseased and processed American diet and lifestyle. What kind of asshole would wish death upon ANYONE ??? Read The Cure by Dr. Richard Brantley. That was a sick comment, Fish, you Cock Hat !!!

There are natural cures for anything that comes along, its just a matter of finding them. And what works for some, doesnt work for others. And you dumbasses who think Doctors and Drug companies are not in bed together and making it worse on most of us, well, your just totally ignorant. Calling it a conspiracy just raises a red flag with people who cant get past that word and look at the real problem with the issue. Its those type of people who, unfortunately, were convinced that voting for Obama was the best for us.

However, if she believes in this enough that she admits it's a strong statement to make, and risking her reputation by doing so, maybe she actually knows something. She's a decent person and she put a lot on the line coming out with the gloves. I praise her for going against the machine. Being she had cancer, I'm sure she has the right to take it personally that a fellow actor died of it and maybe didn't have to. Nobody on this site has the right to call her names for this. However, she better get to healing a lot of pancreatic cancer patients to prove her point!

Chemo is built on the mustard gas premise ... do your fucking homework, you ignorant asses ... also buy a book called The Cure for All Cancers. People like Suzanne Sommers threaten the billion-dollar chemo industry when they speak out. Patrick Swayze coiuld have healed himself but instead chose chemo ... has anyone on here ever heard of Essiac ? Google it and shut your fucking mouths.

This is the woman who sells garbage like oxygenated water and "sommersized" racks of ribs but made with "raw sugar" so they are good for you.

Using Patrick Swayze to sell more of her useless crap should get her bitch-slapped like Kanye did for his antics. This woman has made millions of dollars selling garbage to morons and now wants to sell a worthless book that will convince desperate, dying people to give up real medical resources for some nonsense detox program. She should shut the f-ck up and just go back to selling her crap on cable to lonely red neck women.

What Crusty said.

And you truthers begging people do "do some research" need to take a little of your own medicine, so to speak, and research all the data out there, not just the data that backs up your existing ideas about doctor/drug company conspiracy. On the other hand, if you do get cancer I *hope hope hope* you only treat it naturally and stay out of the hospitals.

Yo #5... I agree with you... Chemo isn't always the best route...

1960 1 in 300 diagnosed with cancer
1990 1 in 75
2006 1 in 3
and
projection for 2010 is 1 in 2...

Source is the American Cancer Society

Yeah, that cancer research is doing wonders... Doctors don't know
everything...

To those who claim that "cancer can be 'healed' by diet and toxin removal": cancer is uncontrolled cell division, brought about by oncogenes (from viruses) or dna damage, which is why cells that must be replaced more often (i.e. epithelial cells), and which thus have to copy their dna more often, are the ones that most often develop tumors. Incipient tumors are often handled by the body's own immune system, which is where "clean living" has its uses, but once you have full-blown pancreatic cancer, with its own blood supply, clean living is only going to give you a really healthy tumor. You can (and people have) test all this in mice, by the way.

She is right!!! For example, a woman's chance of surviving breast cancer today is no better than it was in 1930!! We are not treating the body and building it up to defend itself, but rather we are shoveling toxins into our bodies and being radiated. Check out Christina Pirello's website and go to "all about me" and then "my story". She overcame leukemia through diet when her doctor's told her that was no cure for her. And to Dee - you're the moron if you think medicine is created for anything other than profit. If medicine is so great how is it that our society is more obese, more cancer ridden, more depressed...etc than ever before?? Just because most American's are willing to be spoon-fed their opinions doesn't mean the one's who question it are wrong.

@ Turd Ferguson: "Holistic Cunt Punch" would also make an excellent band name.

Last time I checked, peaches and asparagus didn't cure fucking cancer you dumb scientology bitch. Herbs and teas won't either so quit with the psychobable.

Chemotherapy (and radiation) work by screwing up the cell division process (in the case of cisplatin, by causing cross-linking of dna, which results in apoptosis), so cells which divide the most often (i.e. tumor cells) are the most affected, but other cells which frequently divide (stomach lining, hair follicles), are also affected, so you lose your hair, vomit, etc. This is not voodoo, and nobody wants to use chemo when other alternatives (like angiogenesis inhibitors) are available, but we're just starting to see other therapies. To say "drugs have side effects, let's throw it all away" is akin to saying "we don't understand all evolutionary processes yet, let's just give up and say 'God did it all'". Such people should live their beliefs, thereby removing themselves from the gene pool.

@ Kelley: Somers had surgery and radiation therapy before going the "natural" route. It's like saying the popsicle I had after surgery cured my tonsillitis.

holistic medicine = epic fail
chemo therapeutic drugs = epic win
suzanne somers = aging whore
Everyone mentioning the word toxin is a fucking moron.
Everyone mentioning the benefits of chemo therapy is a fucking genious.

Michael Crichton once joked that 90% of Hollywood is 2+2=5 dumb. When I read stuff like this (and Charlie Sheen trying to keep his daughters from getting vaccinated), I can believe it. But then, Crichton was a bit of a loon too.

Suzanne Somers is either an ignorant fuck or a lying sack of shit...frankly I don't care which.

#37 no offense, but your asking people on a gossip site (sorry, THE gossip site) to do cancer research that takes medical professionals decades if not a lifetime of research.

Randal(l)

I love the toxin worldview... this bizarre belief that medicines, food additives, and anything that's been through a "process" (you know, like homogeonized milk where they mix different milk to balance the taste? scary process!) all somehow stick in your system like heavy metal elements.

Yes, if you eat mercury it'll stay in your cells. Same with some hallucinogens, and most of the heavy metals on the periodic table. But seriously the daily diet of "toxins" fluff has been floating around making fools of people for the past 150 years. I mean, the guy who founded Kelloggs started out telling people his corn flakes would clean the toxins out of their system. It was a scam then, and it's a scam now.

Oh, besides, chemotherapy is ALL toxins. Seriously. It's supposed to be. I mean, cancer cells aren't like bacterial infections. You can't use a fungicide, or antibody to kill those cells, because they're the victim's cells running amok. Anything that will kill them has the potential to kill you too. The goal is to find a regimen that will have a high chance of killing the out of control cancer cells, without killing the patient. If some herbal concoction manages to achieve the same effect, it will be pure luck that it doesn't kill the user... frankly I'd rather have decades of testing and science making sure my doses of poison have a better chance of killing the cancer than me.

Calm down, people, this is just evolution at work. People who are dumb enough to believe that you shouldn't treat cancer with chemotherapy will soon die off.

Between Suzanne and Pamella, what you think? . . .Maybe two blonde brain cells between them? Yeah, that would be about right.

This woman is right! Do you have any idea how many people are cured by chemotherapy? 3%. That 3% could have gotten recovered on their own or from other treatments. Statistics are hard to find, but the AMA uses this method to determine when chemo works: Whoever doesn't die within 5 years of chemotherapy is "cured".

There are a bunch of brainwashed idiots unwilling to look outside of the box. I have had 4 people in my life die from cancer- they all received chemo/ radiation. I also currently have 2 people that I love battling cancer. These people are treating themselves homeopathically and are still very much alive.

The cancer itself is not what makes you so sick, it is the treatments. Please do a little research on how horrible chemo is on your body. It permanently destroys your immune system, weakens your heart and organs, and CAUSES CANCER.

Cancer treatment is the single biggest money maker in medicine. That is why the ineffective status quo continues

The cancer that Swazye had is pretty much always terminal, to think this holistic hocus pocus wold work is bogus. Buth Steve McQueen and Andy Kaufman died because they tried to get their cancer treated by "traditional holistic" methods which included coffee enemas and having some witch doctor rub chicken guts over his guts convincing Andy that he was magically removing his tumors.

There is no holistic therapy for cancer, otherwise countless number of oncologists would use that instead of the chemo they infuse into their patients bodies. Lets have Suzanne get inflicted with cancer and lets "watch" her as she uses only natural therapy....yeah right, she will be the first in that infusion room for chemo. Chemotherapy has come a LONG way, it does kill the tumor cells and other cancerous cells while also killing cells that are epithelial, because they shed the fasted. Chemotherapy can be toxic if not monitored, but so can DOng Quai or ephedrine....two perfectly "natural" therapies that have killed more people than chemo has. Chemo is what allowed Patrick to live almost 2 years. It is the Cancer that killed him, you dumb bitch. My dad had esophageal cancer and was afraid of the chemo....so he opted out of it and did all naturals....he died in 3 months. My mom ate healthy her entire life....and I mean HEALTHY. She was just diagnosed with colon cancer and is now cancer free thanks to a wonderful surgeon and her oncologist. Cancer has little to do with what you put into your mouth, its mostly genetic....but when you treat it in an asinine way such as natural therapy, you are going to die.

---------------------------

Do you have the statistics on those who die from NOT using Chemo? Those must be difficult to find also...

Tard

She is a triple digit idiot. Pancreatic cancer hits you hard and finishes you off quick in most cases. I knew a person who only lasted 8 months after diagnosis, and that was without any chemo at all. Swayze lasted almost 2 years, which is amazing.

To #51 -- you must have missed the part in the statistics where there is a HUGE difference between diagnosis and actually having terminal cancer. Thank you for the numbers, because what they are actually showing are increased rates in diagnosis -- increasing chances of early treatment and survival. The next sentence after your statistics should have been "Deaths from cancer have NOT increased"

To anybody out there who preaches holistic medicine -- anybody without a medical degree GET LOST, YOUR MEDICAL OPINION IS WORTHLESS! It is incredibly ignorant of people to bypass years and years and YEARS of medical education by googling an issue. Something you learn in medical school for example is that you have to look at information in context, you can't just pick out individual numbers. That's why doctors only send you a letter saying 'you're fine' instead of giving you your stats, because all the Dr. Googles out there will flip their shit when something is off one digit -- and they are almost always wrong!

As to not believing in chemo -- it's like the people who don't believe in vaccinations -- statistics show that people always stop believing in those things when they finally read about what it is (oh my god! somebody is injecting me with a virus! panic panic panic, the pharmaceutical industry is trying to get me!) and while they are benefiting from it (we don't need vaccines, nobody has had the measles in forever! -- yes, because you have been VACCINATED!). Chemo has similar issues, of COURSE it is a strain on the body! That's it's job! Cancer is in your CELLS! And medicine unfortunately isn't smart enough to differentiate the cells that actually need it and the ones that are healthy. You just hope your healthy ones can make it through.

So I say, go ahead, eat your roots, drink your carrot juice, and leave me my medication. Because I might need it someday. I wonder how many of you would be so brave to stick to those nutrition and toxin methods, if it were you. It's easy to have a conviction, when there is nothing on the line. I'm all for healthy living to PREVENT cancer -- but once you have it, it's a lot more difficult to backtrack.

Regardless of toyur opinion on Cancer treatment, she used Mr. Swayze's death to shill her book.

Holy shit what a bunch of ignorant asses ... this CAN BE DONE !! Do your homework before shooting off your mouths. Truth: The American Cancer Society censored and repressed the news that sunlight prevented cancers by up to 80%, yes !! Because The ACS is the largest non-profit in the US and they want to keep it that way. Your healthcare system (which is garbage) values profits over health. Sunblocks work WITH the sun to cause cancer. Man what a bunch of ignorant shits you Yankees are ... get with the program. Sure, take your obscenely over-priced chemo drugs for a 9% success rate, and then have them destroy your immune system and cause more cancer. Farah could have saved herself too but opted for chemo and THEN natural; her immune system was too weakened, and already caused by Diet Coke addiction (aspartame is carcinogenic, just another thing wrong with your fucked-up country) ... take your insurance company profit-driven fucked up health-care system and shove it. Why do you think the FDA works so hard to shut down natural health, supplements and organic gardening ?? Because they are threatened by it - it works !! And threatens big-pharma profits. Why also do you think that big-pharma is immune to lawsuits ?? Grow a fucking brain. Less than 15% of doctors opt for chemo when stricken with cancer, duh. Read, if you can, The Natural News. Good luck, because your education system sucks too, and that's very apparent here. Fish is a dick. Suzanne Sommers is right about this. Adverse drug reactions are the #3 killer in the US.

#65, Iola, you are right also. Good for you.

So many of you are getting it wrong. Treatment of any disease should be a combination of both medicine AND diet changes. Do you really think you can eat burgers and fries instead of vegetables and fruit and get the same results?? There's validity to both sides of the argument, but neither is completely right. It's the utilization of ALL resources that give a person their best chance of surviving.

How interesting, two stupid old whores wearing ugly shoes. What is this all about....

I always get my medical advise from a couple of plastic women that are telling everyone to be natural. What a joke.

#72 -- before you shoot off YOUR mouth and call everybody an ignorant ass, why don't you get your facts straight. First of all, you talk about prevention -- of course living a healthier life style prevents illness, you don't need to think too hard to come to that conclusion. I believe the discussion here is about treatment -- that's AFTER you already have the disease. Also, with the sunlight, I believe you are talking about skincancer -- different from breast cancer, and especially different from pancreatic cancer, starting with the fact that it would be my guess that skin cancer is much easier to detect because it is or can be visible.

Also, big pharma is not immune from law suits, they get sued all the time. And it is the FDA's job to test medicine and approve it -- for them to do that it needs to be measured and predictable. Part of what makes holistic medicine work (in some instances, I would exclude aggressive cancers from that) is that it is a whole lifestyle that comes with that. Only taking ginger root is not the same thing as taking an aspirin. What information do you have that is based in science and the studies that the pharma industry is shutting down anything? What is their incentive? Pharmaceutical companies could also produce pills that only have fairydust in them, they could bring out "natural" things. And finally, we didn't import anything to this earth, we are only working with the table of elements that we have -- arguably everything is 'natural'

who knew famous titties from the 70's could even talk, let alone spark such a heated debate.

By the way, Megan Fox, take a good hard look. This is going to be your future.

Randal(l)

Un believable.

Who are the FUCKING IDIOTS who don't know that MODERN SCIENCE is ALREADY HOLISTIC. Meaning it DOES address the entire body in any way possible. Every time your stupid ass self does something to screw your health, you get HOLISTIC advice along with your pills. STOP EATING SHIT. EXERCISE MORE. 5 a fucking DAY. YADA YADA.

The problem is, most of the time, it goes in one ear, and out the other.

Then he gives you pills, you take them like a lazy fat fuck you are, and you get pissed at a minor side effect. Or the pills don't work because you're STILL FUCKING UP YOUR BODY.

So what do you do? Say to your dumb self: Geee, this doctor doesn't know shit. I SHOULD KNOW. I CAN"T BE ARSED TO PUT DOWN THE BURGER SO I GOT DIABETES AT 35.

So you go and fork $$$$ to some dude with a HS degree, to tell you EXACTLY what your normal doctor told you in the first place - STOP EATING HALF THE FRIDGE AND EXERCISE A BIT.

Also - take this plant that's 10 times more expensive, to supply your body with the same substance that's in the concentrated pill. Except in those fucking roots or plants, it's diluted by other substances which often counteract it, and either way, it's not concentrated.

Actually that's the optimistic route. MOST LIKELY HE GIVES YOU SNAKE OIL, and some other placebo piece of grass clippings.

AND YOU EAT IT UP BECAUSE YOU LIKE THE FRU FRU BULLSHIT.

Bla bla. Let's go more natural. POISON IVY is natural. SNAKE VENOM is natural. 99% of the wild plants that exist out there are natural, and POISONOUS to your pampered omnivore ass.

Natural |= good for you

To every fru fru dumbfuck artificial is bad.

Antibiotics, concrete houses, central heating, food packaging to prevent spoiling. I repeat, antibiotics to keep you from puking bloody shit every time you eat spoiled food. Did I mention those artificial fridges? To hell with that maaaan, not NATURAL enough. I mean, wasn't it all AWESOME back then when it was NATURAL that you died in childbirth 1 out of 3 chances, and you NATURALLY lived a brutish, hard life for 30 years and died from an infected tooth?

Man, nature is fucking awesome. It's sooo not trying to kill us. It's nice and cuddly,like a rabid tiger. Oh, did I mention freaking VACCINES? Yeah, those dumb fucks who hate them - go get bitten by a RABID animal, and we'll talk...for 10 days max.

God, stupid people are annoying.

She's 43?

She looks AMAZING.

#77 Subscribe to and read The Natural News. Re: skin cancer, we NEED at least 20 minutes a day of good sun. Yes, Big Pharma gets sued but I have read many times that they're immune to lawsuits from death. And their job is simply to get new meds to market without concern for the health of the people they're supposed to protect. All I know is that chemo kills, not 100% of the time, but cancer can be cured holistically and naturally. Also read The Cure by Dr. Richard Brantly. He has cured several patients of serious, advanced cancers. The US WANTS the people ignorant; Government doesn't WANT natural cure news getting out.

Now how many people have been totally cured with homo-medicine while in type 4 pancreatic cancer..Hmmm none that i know of.If i had it i would go for good ol western medicineif it keeps my ass alive for a few more months to clear things up with my affiars or till something else to help out in western medicine to keep the motor going. I guess her type of medicine couldn't keep her boobs up those suckers are down to her knee caps just good enough to rub out the leg hair.

not the cancer part. the fading into obscurity remembering wistfully of the days when people around the world recognized you despite your total lack of talent and thorough surplus of spank-offability (it's a real word that I just made up) part.

to reiterate, I do not wish cancer on anybody, especially Megan Fox, but I do viciously spank it to her images

Randal(l)

Suzanne is partly right. Had Patrick not been an animal eating BBQ boy from Texas (this is going to go over big) then he probably wouldn't have gotten cancer. The majority of people in the US might hate vegans but they don't get cancer. That said once you got cancer it won't go away as Suzanne is implying by going holistic. The cancer cells are blue printed into the body and generating. He had as good a chance of getting cured with Chemo as any other medical option currently available. Chemo might have killed him but the cancer would have for sure too. Don't want to end up like Patrick then don't get cancer. Don't want cancer then stop being the meat eating crazy just about every one in the United States has become. I've put on my rain gear in anticipation of the rain of shit I'm about to get for typing this. Cheers.

Whoopy Goldberg: "Patrick was a really good man, a funny man and one to whom I owe much that I can't ever repay. I believe in 'Ghost's message, so he'll always be near." RIP Patrick!
Here I've tried to collect all notable tributes paid to Patrick Swayze by peers:

http://www.tributespaid.com/category/p/patrick-swayze

just google Dr Henry BIELER. that guy cured EVERY cancer and much more, by pure diet. he'd cured actors, senators, politicians but also common people, during his more than 50 year practice (they just didn't let him retire:))
read his book Food is Your Best Medicine and you may learn somethin' about how a human body works. it's actually so simple. once you get it, you'll need no doctors at all. tested.

Oh yeah right,is this part of her book promotion?

This from a woman who was cast into the purgatory of 3 am infomercials in the 90's and was irrelevant years before that. Even if there is anything true about what she has to say, she has buried it by showing a severe lack of tact. Kudos to the Fish; "a dynamic duo of dumb" - Fucking funny......

why does suzanne have the biggest cameltoe in the world.. damnnnnnnnnn!!! swayze probably tapped that. go dalton go!

I do not believe that Suzanne Somers has the medical expertise to credibly make that statement. Every cancer is different and also affects everybody differently. There are people who have beaten cancer with chemotherapy.

#37 I don’t think aol video really counts as research. Why not try www.pubmed.com? It has reviews, trial results and research, most of which are published by reputable journals. Before being published, the articles will have been vigorously reviewed by the journal editors to ensure that the trials and research was conducted correctly; I’m pretty sure aol video doesn’t maintain the same standards.

#84 Do you not think his cancer might have had something to do with THE SMOKING?!!! Just an idea....

The suggestion that doctors are just out there to make money for the drug industry, or for themselves, really irritates me . As a medical student, I can assure you that if making money was my aim, this medical degree and all that comes after it would not be worth it by a long way; there are far easier ways to make money. Obviously, chemotherapy is not perfect, it carries a big risk of fatal infections and is often not effective, but in some cases it is a person’s best shot.

Cancer is an incredibly complex disease, a cancer cell is just about the smartest cell there is: it manages to stimulate itself to replicate without signals, to ignore signals telling it to stop growing, to detach itself from other cells so it can spread, to encourage blood vessel growth for nutrition etc. and most importantly perhaps, it has sustained a mutation to outwit the ultimate defence mechanism that usually means that when a cell starts to go wrong, it commits “suicide” so that it can’t go on to run riot in the body.
(Hanahan and Weinberg's "The Hallmarks of cancer" is a brilliant review, or the popular science book "One Renegrade Cell", also by Weinberg is great for those who don't know much about science).

A whole host of, hugely under-appreciated, scientists work extremely hard on the very frustrating task of trying to understand cancer and develop more sophisticated drugs to target specific points where a cancer cell has managed to get a survival advantage over the normal body cells, for example by preventing blood vessel growth. Perhaps people should start thanking these individuals for the hard work they have put in on all medical advances over the years. Yes, the treatments are a work in progress, but these people have read the literature and scientific research doesn’t pay well enough that people would bother with it if RANDOMISED CONTROL TRIALS (not the stories of individuals who see some money to be made by writing a book) showed beetroot to cure cancer.

@65. lola: "Statistics are hard to find, but the AMA uses this method to determine when chemo works: Whoever doesn't die within 5 years of chemotherapy is "cured"."

That's right, want to know why? Because, statistically, if you've been cancer free for five years you have about the same risk of getting a recurrence as someone taken at random. It's not some kind of "cover up". Interesting that you cite "statistics" when you don't understand the first thing about them.

Really REALLY cool that Moore's new film is being shown without charge. That in itself is worth the (no) price of admission. Fish, where's the comment section on that crap link?

I will note that Moore makes himself look simply overweight, rather than the totally obese suicide by hamburger Obama hurray shit sucker that he is. At least he can do gay porn and get laid. That is all.

I see hint of camel toe!

as Pamela stares at her wrist

I can see where she's coming from. My mom suffered from cancer and chemo did absolutely nothing good, perhaps even made it worse. I guess in this case Patrick had the same results, which is a shame. You fight your ass off and your only hope makes you feel even worse until the day you die.
Chemo doesn't solve everything, but the doctors seem to think so....

Jesuz.. All you "holistic" guys suck major dong... Eating right and flushing out toxins - yummmm. Yeah right... That would have really saved my bacon, ya fuktards...

Love and rockets,

Patrick.

P.S. I'm dead

Stupid bitch. Those holistic morons are almost as stupid as people who voted for Barack Obozo

I'd still want to be her thigh master.

Suzanne looks hot for a 60 yr old! She's going to outlive us all...It's so funny we have all this no-fat and no-sugar food crap on the shelves & Americans are about the biggest slobs on the planet. Take care of yourself, get sleep, drink water & eat right & you'll have a better quality of life. Wanna see a loser, how about Joyce Dewitt & her funky DUI mugshot 2 mths ago. Somer's books quote many MD's. Nothing wrong with being preventative in your health. Old medicine still has some value but it's reactive & pushed around by Big Pharma. I'll admit her comment was ill-timed.

"....Suzanne Somers threaten the billion-dollar chemo industry.." Yeah, totally unlike the alternative health industry..they give their goods and services away for free. Come on, Somers has made a fortune selling her books and other health related products. If she is so against conventional cancer treatments, why did she have radiation and a lumpectomy for her breast cancer? What...you thought she cured herself with mistletoe injections? And BTW #80 ....she's 63 not 43. Glad you think she looks amazing - thank her plastic surgeon. Her unretouched photos reveal her extremely sun damaged skin. I'm not taking cancer advice from someone too stupid to slap on some sunscreen.

Fuck I hate the human race sometimes. On the whole we're a bunch of fucking idiots.
ooooh, toxins are the problem of everything, fuck off you idiots.
BTW doctors aren't in on some conspiracy, doctors are people who've studied for years and want to help people (or the most part).
I fucking hate these idiot who claim to know someone who cured their illness though wiping their ass with natural leaves. And people who act like they know the body better than doctors.
My ex girlfriend had kidney problems and her family were fucking insane and tried to cure her with flushing the toxins out or some bullshit. Guess what? She nearly died, and then finally when there was nowhere else to turn to they relied on 'evil doctors' and 'artificial medicines'. and guess what? She got better.
Because her family believed the bullshit of a homeopath con artist she ended up on dialysis.
You can choose not to believe that if you like because it is the anecdotal evidence that I undermine other people for doing.

People like that simultaneously over-emphasize our bodies natural abilities and also undermine them.
For everyday life we need to detox and flush out toxins because for some reason our body and it's millions of years of evolution and natural process somehow isn't good enough.
And then when someone has a serious problem, suddenly they just need raw vegetables and their bodies can do the rest.

Where is homeopaths actual scientific evidence? If it's so good you should be able to test it and get actual results in a science lab. But wait I forgot, scientific evidence is just a conspiracy of big business.

Why does it make me so angry. Because the proliferation of their ignorance causes people to not get the treatment they need and be exploited.

Jack Daniel's treatment is superior. It uses pure cave spring water and a unique mellowing process perfected by Mr. Jack Daniel in 1866.

cunt needs to die

I'm sorry but where did Susan Sommers go to medical school? Because I want her to be my doctor when I get diagnosed with an incurable case of cancer- I want to see her.

Suzanne is still hot. Pamela is disgusting - has been for a while.

@Turd Ferguson: (Why do I feel I'm feeding the trolls?) You're right. Science is for retards. Injecting mercury into children makes them more cuddly. That's why the FDA banned it - government conspiracy to make kids less cuddly. (Just ask China.)

Who is this girl anyway?! I can't believe that someone could be so insenstive to come out with comments likes this immediately after someone has passed away.

I guess some publicity whores will do anything to be noticed. Including stepping on the death of someone the public holds dear. It's going to backfire on this stupid, stupid woman.

Build him up nutritionally? What a stupid asshat. The cancer was eating him down to the bone; he could eat "holistic" foods until kingdom come, and it wouldn't have helped him. Basically, what she's saying is to ignore the disease & think about "eating healthy". What she forgets is, the disease has to be treated immediately; it's not going to go away by eating bananas & drinking wheatgrass juice. She should try using her brain before she speaks again; it'll be much less embarrasing for her later on...

To the guy who says mercury poisoning can be gotten from eating mercury: you can't. Eating liquid mercury just gets it passed out of your system. However, in say, a mercury vapour, you can get poisoned. It's not just the drug that matters, it's the method of delivery, as any pharmacology student can tell you. Also, stop simplifying everything, please. There's no right or wrong here, and while medical science doesn't know everything, nor does it claim to, I have studied holistic medicine and alternative cures to realize they might know even less.

There's fossil evidence that even dinosaurs got cancer long before the rise of man. Where did *they* get their toxins and non-organic produce?

#111 Poor you ... nutrition is everything ... it builds your immune system and thus you can fight the disease ... she does know what she is talking about as she did it herself. Practically any disease can be treated with diet, including cancer and MS ... you're the ignorant one. The chemo destroyed his immune system and thus killed him. If he had chosen alternative treatment I believe he would have beaten this. Even advanced cancers can be healed ... Google Dr. Hulda Clark; it's true.

Hey Ms. Somers...

GOT PROOF?

He lived 20 months with pancreatic cancer- pretty astonishing considering he was given just weeks to live... I highly doubt he would have made it that far without the treatments he recieved and the positive attitude he seemed to have.

He fought a good fight! I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have been "cured" from pancreatic cancer by changing his eating habits.

I think it's so disrespectful for her to even suggest that.

It's true that A LITTLE bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing,,,,,,
you people are all very dangerous

@ 84

OMFG, are you kidding me??? Are you actually suggesting that the fact he ate meat was the defining factor in his cancer diagnosis?? Are you sure it had nothing to do with the fact that he was a CHAIN SMOKER??? Which he admitted himself??

Well if that's the case, I'll trade in my chicken for cigarettes then, you know, since vegans don't get cancer. F*CKING moron.

It's said that more and more celebs and rich singles have profiles and their sexy photos on ~~~~~~_____WealthySocial.COM____~~~~~~The best dating club for seeking the rich singles, sexy beauties and even hot celebs... You should check it right now~~~~~~~~~~~

Is she an ex from Hulk Hogan?

#81 -- immune from lawsuits from death? not sure what you mean by that, unless you mean that lawsuits settle -- which btw generally means a LOT of money for the plaintiff. and as to big pharma only getting out drugs without any concern -- pharmaceutical companies spend billions of dollars on research, to try to find new medications, testing it over and over and OVER again to make sure it's safe for the consumer. of course there are also bad ones, just like in every job! and if you have a problem with how it's done, then you should support greater federal regulation of the pharmaceutical industry.

#84 -- veganism hasn't really been popular long enough for there to be any true longterm studies of it. what i know is that I don't know a single vegan who can live without supplements, and that it stunts children's growth when you raise them vegan -- not vegetarian mind you, that's different, but vegans have an incomplete diet for the human body.

#91 -- YES!

Finally, as I said before, anybody without a medical degree has NO BUSINESS making any judgments about what the better treatment for a disease would be. I am not a physician, and I would never be so arrogant to presume I knew better than the majority of doctors.

urrrrrrrr so stupid how you compare breast cancer with pancreatic cancer???????dumbassssssssss

Funny how the non-scientist, non-doctor bimbo has the audacity to pretend that cancer is something treatable with vitamins.

Chemo is indeed a poison, and for terminal cases there is no point to using it, as it lowers quality of life by destroying health cells along side the cancer. But to suggest that Swayze would have somehow survived if he had simply ceased treatment is unlikely.

Stupid Hollywood, anti-science, astrology loving, environmentally hysterical, diet-fad-loving morons.

@2 No, actually mercury is so good for you, please go suck on a broken thermometer turdboy :P

The average IQ of the reader of this page is probably average at best, pathetic at worst. For those cynical about cancer cures, google Dr. Max Gerson, or watch THE BEAUTIFUL TRUTH. I know the chances of you leaving this amazingly informative, educational site is nil, but what the hell...

Cesium and potassium, calcium chloride, and baking soda all kill cancer AND TARGET only the cancer cells. There is a 90% cure rate for these treatments which would be higher, but people usually don't try these until they have been sent home to die.

The are administered by IV in the same way as chemo and are harmless to the human body. In fact, the patient needs to be carefully monitored so the liver isn't destroyed by filtering too many dead cancer cells at once.

There are other treatments as well. Do some research on Royal Rife. Basically, if you vibrate something with radio waves of the same frequency they will destroy it. This is like the opera singer who shatters the glass with their voice. Dr. Rife successfully cured patients of cancer and AIDS before being silenced by the American Medical Association's cartel.

Please do some research on how the AMA was formed and who it serves before blindly believing their $$$ care propaganda. This is an EXTREMELY corrupt, self-serving organization. I believe doctors are in it for the right reasons, but that doesn't chance the way they are trained. Doctors also lose their medical licenses for suggesting alternative cancer treatments and have little freedom in how to treat their patients.

#127 -- are you a doctor? My guess would be no -- and do you HONESTLY believe that there is a 100% harmless cancer CURE and everybody is still doing chemo for FUN?! Are you insane?! My guess would also be that you've never had cancer or watched somebody in your family die from it. I used to kill ants in my house with bakingsoda, pretty effective, you're right.

Man, that is a harsh thing to bust out with.

As far as I knew, she was an actress, not a medical doctor. Her blather is irresponsible.

#122 ... testing it over and over to make sure it is safe for the consumer ? Is that why Gardicil has killed hundreds of girls ? And chemo HAS killed hundreds and thousands of people. And Vioxx likewise. The FDA is there to rush drugs to market, and medicine invents diseases so they can make billions of dollars, and they do. I may be wrong, but I have certainly heard that pharma is immune, but they can certainly afford the lawsuits. Have you heard of a book called "Death by Prescription" ? Of course they want people to keep taking chemo; they make billions off it. That's why the ACS repressed the news about sunshine and vitamin D - true.

I saw Susan on TV last night selling face creams and such. What a bunch of shit, she has had so much plastic surgery and dermatology work done, and then has the audacity to claim that her skin looks so nice because of some expensive products that she has licenced her name too. She should be selling the names and phone numbers of her doctors, instead.

What the hell, we're all going to die someday anyway......Can't we all just get along.

#45 is right !!! Big Pharma blacklists doctors who don't prescribe their meds, too.

If you had read my previous post then you would see that there are people in my life who died from cancer and people who are still fighting it now. My best friend, my sister's mom, my great aunt, my father in law. And everyone who got chemo DIED. Sick, weak, and killed by the treatments sooner than the cancer would have taken them

The woman reminds me of Tom Cruise, acting like she a medical expert depsite the fact that she's not a doctor. Just because holistic treatment worked for for her, it doesn't mean that it would have for Patrick.

Kelley, you sound like a child throwing a temper tantrum. BTW, you are in no postion to be calling anyone an idiot because the same can be said about you.

Look, chemo isn't perfect, it sucks to go through, but it works sometimes if the cancer is caught early. Swayze had one of the worst types, so for him it did not work. He actually lasted longer than most. And it's a good thing that there's a profit-motive in all things, especially medicine, cause nobody gives a rat's ass about you if there's not something in it for them. That's just human nature.

So, whatever you do in this world, do NOT get sick, especially cancer. Life expectancy is up to 77.6 years now, more for woman, so live it up, have some fun, cause we're all going to be stone-cold dead in a matter of years.

Hooray for Capt. Spaulding!

These holisitc treatments Sommers is talking about would not have done jack to cure Swazye's cancer. But exercise and eating healthy can help PREVENT cancer not cure it.

Are you f''ing kidding me? First of all Suzanne Sommers is a flaming, no talent idiot. I've had breast cancer and guess what saved me??? Surgery, radiation and 5 yrs of Tamoxifen! Oh and guess what saved my friend's mom who has colon cancer -- chemo. So to all of you who claim to know all about nutrition and holistic cures, screw you! I pray you are never diagnosed with cancer. Unless you've been diagnosed, you have no clue!! I don't care if you've had a family member, close friend, etc. diagnosed with cancer until it actually happens to you, you have no frame of reference at all. I'd love to know where all of you geniuses came up with all of your statistics. You can shove your holistic advice up your asses.

#131 -- the article I read about gardasil talked about 32 unconfirmed deaths that the vaccine has been linked too, a statement much less strong than the one you made. of course patients who are on chemo have died! they have CANCER!!! that does not mean that the chemo killed them, or that they would have survived without it.

no question that occasionally you have medications on the market that are dangerous. part of the problem is that the FDA is extremely inefficient. people want to get medications quickly, but they also want them safe. well all that takes time. and we live in an impatient society. we all want results RIGHT NOW. the amount of people who have a cold for WEEKS because they are just not willing to just take it easy for 3 days at the expense of their social life is baffling! if you tell somebody 'you should take a nap and drink some water' they say 'where are my meds?'

so I think we should blame all of us if we are unhappy with how it works, instead of just blaming big pharma, because that seems easy. of course they want to make a profit, they are not a charity organization, but a business -- without profit they go under. and the thing with meds is that either you go under or you make a LOT of profit.

are you seriously suggesting sunshine and vitamin d (btw, vitamin d is in sunshine) to cure stage 4 pancreatic cancer? good luck! unless you are a doctor, I will presume that that line of argument is a load of crap, because everything that has been explained to me about cancer from people who actually have a medical degree or a degree in pharmaceutical chemistry, cancer cells don't really give a crap about sunshine! and even ms. somers here had surgery and some radiation before she changed course! so once the cancer was cut out of her body, she changed her life to a healthy lifestyle and maintained? of course you can do MAINTENANCE with healthy living! breast cancer is operable! the problem you have is when it's inoperable, then you need to rely on medication, aggressive medication, because cancer is aggressive. you don't win against a person with a machine gun by poking them with a stick!

I was wondering if anyone here in this per-usual, knowledge-free environment noticed that two people had cancer--Patrick Swayze and Suzanne Sommers--and the one being referred to as a "dumb twat" for espousing an all-natural regimen and forgoing Chemo would be the one who is still alive and in remission. The one who went on Chemo is dead. His cancer was the more aggressive, but this woman has a point, no? She survived cancer.

Oh, and I'm sure Suzanne Sommers' ideas about health and well-being have something to do, personally, with your breast cancer, or your dad's colon cancer, and how the two of you went on Chemo and other stupid shit. If you went on it, and it worked for you, congrats. That's wonderful. You get to live another day to be a bottom feeding hater and comment section troll who'd rather project your feelings of worthlessness onto innocents than do something useful with your life. So glad you made it. And Patrick Swayze is dead. Something not right about that, no?

No amount of building him up nutritionally was going to save Swayze from years and years of alcohol abuse and endless cigs as well as his deadly cancer. He was a fantastic guy, one of the very few celebs that always appeared down to earth and real, but he payed the ultimate price for his abuse.

So #141 you talk about comment section trolls; I guess you're one too then. Like I said I hope you never have to deal w/cancer because if you do all of this won't seem like "stupid shit". BTW, I have done something useful w/my life; I volunteer to help counsel others in my situation, and I help raise money for cancer research. And what wonderful things have you done w/your life?

What is the point of saying this NOW? When Patrick was alive if she wanted to send him some information and bleat about her theories to him that’s fine, but the man is now DEAD and his wife is devastated. She should respect that the fight is over and nothing more can be done so keep her stupid selfish mouth SHUT. Great, so now she can tell the widow her beloved is dead because they did it all wrong. Oh, that’s so thoughtful Suzanne.

And if she thinks she looks AGELESS she is an idiot.

This website gives you all the information about blogging, how to earn money online and lot more.

Actually life expectency in numerous cancer situations is longer with no chemo than without.

In other news, a moronic blond women decides that her status as a two-bit celebrity gives her ample knowledge to say black is white and generally claim that people much smarter than her are "wrong".

What an absolute dribbling idiot child this woman is.

@141 Regarding her survival, she had breast cancer, Swayze had pancreatic cancer - you really can't compare the two in any way. She also had both a lumpectomy and radiation. She didn't eat some wonder herb that took it all away on its own.

And yeah, i also survived cancer thanks to chemo, i only had surgery and chemo. And regarding anyone saying they just give you chemo so that they'll make money - as we have free(tax-funded) healtcare in sweden you can be pretty sure they try to give you the best treatment possible as the hospitals can't make any extra money on overtreating you.

Right on, # 141. Enough of this. It was not a nice post at all by Fish.

Why is it that many of the comments on here from people who agree with her are calm and rational, yet many of the comments from people who disagree are vicious, angry, and downright nasty? It always blows my mind how defensive and cruel people can be when someone challenges a belief that has been instilled in them their whole lives (such as the idea of aggressive chemo being the only way to treat cancer).

For all of those who think alternative methods are BS, I suggest reading Anticancer by David Servan-Schreiber. He was a staunch believer only in traditional methods until he was diagnosed with brain cancer. He went through some chemo, but then started researching alternative methods to prolong his life and keep the cancer at bay. His doctors told him nothing would keep it at bay except continued chemo treatments, but he has proven them wrong.

Wow, the people who are mad at her seem to have no clue that she had cancer and beat it without chemo. Yes she's a former celebrity but there's still that little tidbit of information that SHE HAD CANCER. So she's not just a blithering idiot.

@127: Hahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahah!

She's a stupid BITCH. People get ANGRY because she's spreading FALSE INFORMATION that will get people with cancer KILLED by not seeking proper treatment.

@ 127

did you just that that the doctor your talking about cured AIDs? I call BULLSH*T!!!! there is no cure for AIDs and if there was one it would have been widley recognised. but then, your prob someone who thinks the moon landings are fake, that flouride in water is a way of government control and that G.W was really behind 9/11
TARD!!!!

I got an email a few weeks ago saying how chemo kills people and how the only way to cure cancer was to eat only organic foods and stay away from the sweet-n-low. I was infuriated. Stupid emails like that deter people from seeking medical treatment for all kinds of diseases or mental health issues. The longer you wait to treat cancer, the worse the prognosis. Changing your diet will not kill cancer cells. Surgery, chemo and radiation are the only treatments that will remove or kill cancer cells. Please stop listening to those wierdo health nuts who convince you to stop taking your medications. They do not know what they are talking about. They are not physicians, they do not work with millions of patients and they do not get to see firsthand how medications, chemo and radiation gives people another chance at life.

If Patrick Swayze had not been trated with chemo, he would have died a year ago. The chemo extended his life and gave him more time with his family and more time to find peace with the fact that he would in all likelyhood die.

so what, Suzanne killed John Ritter, not a congenital heart defect, as reported by the Los Angeles Times.

I totally want people like her in charge of my health care! whoopie!

Facts:
1) Suzanne Somers is a has been. Her celebrity status is almost
completely nullified.
2) Her celebrity opinion is fodder for a 2 minute clip on ET and maybe a 4
minute interview on a really slow news day.
3) Nobody will buy a Thighmaster because of her medical opinion on
Swayze's death.
4) She's fugly X3.

Yes, she had cancer and beat it, or DID SHE? We have only her word on that, no medical report. It certainly does wonders for her book sales to claim that. Even if she did, it was a much milder form of cancer.

As for vegans not getting cancer, NOT TRUE AT ALL, one of my very good friends was a vegan and ate extremely healthfully and died at 43 (five years ago this week actually) of brain cancer, and another friend of mine was just diagnosed with a 2 inch malignant breast tumor at 45 and she also eats only whole foods.

I don't pooh pooh holistic treatments, but I also think cancer is nothing to fuck around with and if I am ever diagnosed with it I'm going to beg them to bring on the big guns.

My mom died from lung cancer -- oat cell lung cancer -- which is extremely aggressive.She already had a metastic form of the disease when she was diagnosed. She decided to forego the chemotherapy and opted for radiation only for palliation, and entered hospice care immediately. She was given a life expectancy of 3 months. She died 10 weeks after her diagnosis.

Nothing would have saved her life, nor would have given her a longer life-worth-living. She smoked but had quit thirteen years before her diagnosis, but the damage had been done already.

My father was a heavy smoker and drinker who also died from lung cancer, but he pickled his brain and liver first before the cancer diagnosis.

Good luck out there.

Plenty of passionate debate here...

My view is that if you get cancer you have most likely been mistreating your body for an extended period of time.

Most americans are under nourished but don't even know it...Not talking about their waistlines either.

Suzanne has a good point in trying to reverse cancer by boosting your body's natural immune response but you would need to catch it early to have a good chance of survival.

Chemo is a way to give people who have no hope a minute chance of survival. Doctors know that prevention is better than cure when it comes to cancer but have to be able to offer patients something and also to make a buck on the side.

148--Notice I made no judgments. I am not a doctor--just like Suzanne Sommers and everyone else here--and thus I'm not qualified to say Chemo or NoChemo.

My comment was directed at commentors offended by Suzanne Sommers' statements as if they had something to do, personally, with their cancer. If you can't make a health and wellness choice confidently enough that Chrissy from Three's Company coming out and publically espousing natural cancer cures rocks you to a bashing, then STFU. About this and everything else. You're a moron.

What a dumb shit. I've heard too many people saying what does it matter what Ms Summers thinks? Well anytime a famous person spouts some nonsense, the even more retarded portion of the population believes it because they equate fame with being an authority on a given subject matter. Ms Summers, do us a favor and STFU and let PROVEN methods of fighting cancer not be out shadowed by your uninformed bullshit

Chemo kills and shortens life, simple as that.
And yes autism is caused by vaccinations!
Hell why do think the Amish do not have autism or cancer amongst their people?
Because they don't vaccinate.
The whole world knows what Susanne is saying to be true, are you yanks really that dumb?
Stop braething in those chemtrails!!!
My god, you are the only people in the world that still believe that terrorists destroyed the world trade centre too!
It was your government, you goons!

I want to slap that evil bitch across her hideously mutilated face.

She is 100% correct. Chemotherapy is straight poison and had absolutely no chance of healing his form of cancer.

He should have at least tried alternative therapies because chemotherapy was 100% not going to work, and destroy his body while doing so. It is also pretty sad to see people defend the status quo like this. Do some research about cancer and see that some alternative treatments can actually work. I'm not saying an absolute cure, but work to get rid of it.

Patrick MAY HAVE died even WITHOUT CHEMO, but the fact is that HE DIED WITH CHEMO. This we know for sure. After spending (or having your insurance company spend) hundreds of thousands of dollars, I suppose death seems more legitimate- not a lot of naysayers for some reason. After all, the doctors resposnse will be, -of course he died-he had cancer and it killed him- there's a built in excuse. What can they say, Chemo killed him? If they do, will it be considered a non-criminal homicide? Why not...chemo would be a contibuting factor in the death- is that not what "homicide" is (we're not talking murder here)?.
I don't know if Suzanne Sommers is dumb or not, but if she is, it still does not mean that EVERYTHING she is saying is incorrect, that's faulty logic to make that assumption.

Oh Aussie, #168, you are SO RIGHT ON !!! But I am Canadian, eh ? And yes, 911 was indeed an inside job ... look up "Loose Change" on You Tube. Chemo also destroys the immune system and causes more cancer, dumb-asses. Dr. Richard Brantley (The Cure) healed a woman with a terminal diagnosis of breast and colon cancer; she is well and alive today !! Diet, supplements and lifestyle changes - NO drugs, NO chemo, NO radiation. The body inherently KNOWS how to heal itself of anything - even AIDS, MS and a multitude of other diseases; it just has to unimpeded. And YES, vaccines DO cause autism ... and autism rises at a rate of 20% per year in the US. Jenny McCarthy healed her son (after an autism-induced vaccine) with diet. YES, diet. I love you #168 !!

To #140 ... Vitamin D is NOT in sunshine, it makes your skin produce Vitamin D. And secondly, the Gardisil vaccine has killed far more than 32 women ... you're only getting mainstream media reports ... and by the way also, ALL medications will stop your body from doing SOMETHING. There is NO safe medication, not even aspirin. Guess what else ! Milk is bad for you !! Most of the US milk supply is contaminated with bovine growth hormone ... evil. Google the evils of Monsanto. Don't get me started on GMO's, either.

Become informed. Enough on this, chemo kills and that's that. The drug companies formulated chemo treatments on the premise of mustard gas ... kills ALL cells, not just cancer cells. Ask a natural health practitioner. And wherever you have cancer in your body ? Cancer is STILL cancer, wherever it is ... and yes, pancreatic cancer is particularly aggressive, but still cancer. Can we bury the fucking hatchet now ? Jesus ... chemo kills, OK ? It's poison and the drug companies make BILLIONS and they're not going to stop making it nor selling it. Too much money involved. The poor, sick US healthcare system (and it's a fucking joke to even call it that) is profit-driven and does not give a flying SHIT about health, and neither does the FDA ... read up on it, trust me !! Now let's be friends :)

#156 ... you are horribly ignorant if you believe that. That's what the medical profession WANTS you to believe. By the way, ALL artificial sweeteners are harmful. Aspartame is the worst and the US Government pushed it to market for it's $$$$ potential, and it has killed and poisoned many people. Donald Rumsfeld ought to be fucking shot !! Sweet 'n Low is made from sodium cyclamate, a known carcinogen.

@ KELLEY

amazing, you manage to not only retarded, ignorant and gullible but your also totally intolerant.

you do realise that while in your quest to prove that the us medical system is trying to make profit from dying cancer patients, you forget to realise the irony that your gettting your info from natural health practitioner who .........wait for it...........work for profit !!!!!!!!!!

id much prefer to trust a REAL doctor who trained and now practices medicine based on a hundred years worth of medical development than some fool who failed medical school and became a natural health practitioner.

i`m by no means a medical expert. but the logic of natural cure to cancer just isnt logical. cancer is your own cells that have essentially turned against your body. they develope into tumours due to the bodies inability to destroy them. if you invigorate your body with lots of good nutrients are you not just feeding your own, albeit cancerous cells, with nutrients?

I am far from retarded and you can't even spell, so I dont think you're in any position to be calling anyone retarded. "Real" doctors only know pharmaceuticals to treat disease ... and many people have healed without chemo or radiation. There are many causes for cancer. With improved nutrition you are building your immune system and thus enabling your body to heal. Enough said on this ... Suzanne Somers is right. And you're not a very friendly stoner, dude, or dudette. Whatever ... you can't spell. Go smoke a joint or something ...

"What a dumb shit. I've heard too many people saying what does it matter what Ms Summers thinks? Well anytime a famous person spouts some nonsense, the even more retarded portion of the population believes it because they equate fame with being an authority on a given subject matter."

Anyone who listens to advice given by a person not qualified--via degree or first hand experience--is moronic as the kind of person who acts out in hatred via an imaginary link between a celebrity's opinion and their own cancer experiences, and therefore, who really gives a crap? It's time to stop coddling the weak. I'd bet internet gossip site comment sections would be a good place to start.

FYI--Suzanne Sommers: not a doctor. Has first hand experience surviving cancer naturally without Chemo. Has a right to free speech, no matter how much it hurts your feelings (?)

@ KELLEY

I dont give two shits if i had a few typos in my arguement, this is post on a website, not an essay for my finals at uni. you only point them out cos you couldnt counter my arguements.

same goes for trying to undermine my arguements cos i`ve called myself friendly stoner, totally irrelevant.

my arguements stand and you couldnt/wouldnt comprehend them so those two points i`ve just mentioned were all you were left with

and no REAL doctors dont just use pharmaceuticals. its comments like that which show how little you understand the issue

Oh man ... I had typos too, but I am saying that medical doctors only use pharmaceuticals. They don't suggest natural cures and in my experience only prescribe meds and don't recommend natural healing methods when they are in the grip of Big Pharma, which is very powerful, as you may realize. I do understand the issue, but calling me retarded wasn't fair ... be friendly :) Are you on Facebook ?

""Real" doctors only know pharmaceuticals to treat disease ... and many people have healed without chemo or radiation."

How? You mean using homeopathy? Despite its popularity in some countries, there is still no strong scientific evidence that it works, not that manufacturers are in a hurry to inform consumers of this (pharmaceutical companies aren't the only ones interested in continuing to make cash by the truckload). Some research suggests that it offers no detectable benefit in the treatment of cancer (in other words, it's worse than a placebo).

Remember, correlation is not causation. Just because you heard that a friend of a friend used crushed artichokes dipped in mongoose urine, or any other snake oil salesmen concoction, at the same time his or her cancer went away by itself (which very rarely happens), it doesn't mean that the two events are linked.

But, hey, what do I know. I've never been on the talk show circuit, nor do I sell products on the shopping channel. I'm merely a scientist. I couldn't possible know anything about the functioning of the human body, could I?

Agree or disagree, I think it was a pretty lame thing to open her cavernous yap at this time. Let people mourn Mr. Swayze. Where were you when he was battling cancer? Yeah. Thought so.

Just for the record, I think it's blatantly obvious this woman is using this tragedy for monetary gain. Like she's going to give you the secrets of holistic living for free? Give me a break.

I think living as healthy a life as possible will prevent cancer but in no way do I think that once you have cancer treebark or meditating is going to save your life. Yeah, chemo is harsh, it's supposed to be. Without it Patrick would have died long before he did. It prolonged his life, not ended it. Pancreatic cancer is one of the most aggressive/nasty cancers there is nothing would've saved him as sad as that is.

RIP Patrick.

#181 ... yes !! Google Dr. Hulda Clark, Dr. Richard Brantley, and a book called Anatomy of an Illness by a doctor who healed himself of cancer because, as he put it, became "convinced that a hospital was no place for a sick person." Also Google The Natural News www.thenaturalnews.com. Wow.

I am passionate re: natural health due to a condition that I have - not cancer - but something else I was told that could ONLY (dammit) be treated with drugs that have a 30% success rate, have many nasty side effects and cost $1200 per month in Canada. F**king madness that is, especially when you're taking even more pharmaceutical poison for a condition that often has chemical/poison/toxin, etc. exposure etiologies. With much research I found that it can ALSO be treated and healed, without rude-costing drugs.

I hear you, 183# ... lots of very passionate debate here ! My God, if people are this wild about natural vs. chemical/pharmaceutical, I'd to even touch the abortion issue, wow. Won't even go there. There is nearly 200 comments here ... nexxxttt ... done with this post.

YOU FUCKING RETARDED AMERICANS. YOUR HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IS TIED TO PROFIT. CORPORATIONS MAKE YOU SICK, BIG PHARMA PUMPS YOU WITH GARBAGE UNTIL YOU DIE. THIS BITCH IS 1000% CORRECT. CHEMO IS THE KILLER.. LOOK IT UP YOU FUCKING HUMPS AND FUCK THE NEW WORLD ORDER!!

Ralph Moss, Jerry Brunetti, Kris Carr, Lothar Hirneise, Jason Vale, Michael Gearin Tosh, Bill Henderson, Brenda Cobb, Ann Wigmore, Johanna Budwig, Tanya Harter Pierce, --- are all people that have devoted their lives to education people about trure health. There are over 6 billion people on the planet. Each with their own unique physiological DNA. Yet the pharmaceutical companies want you to believe there are only 3 methods of treatment for disease -- chemo, radiation, and surgery. Nonsense. Meantime, there are over 355 different holistic ways to treat cancer. Yet no money is devoted to them because there is no money to be made. Fact: if a doctor even tries to recommend to you a treatment protocol that doesn't fall under drugs he/she will lose their license, will be fined and/or face jail time. Sick huh? Natural cures are cheap by comparison, while a single chemo treatment can cost upwards of $30,000. And even if you do choose to go the conventional route, you gotta wonder why cells aren't extracted and chemotherapeutic agents tested against them to even see if the drug is effective in the first place (much like antibiotics tested against a cultured strep-throat). There are only 2 places in the U.S. that do this, Rational Therapeutics in Long Beach, CA, and Impath Labs in NY. The other conventional method that should be used that isn't is insulin potentiation therapy. Look it up. These are 2 examples of ways to ENHANCE the conventional method of treatment so that they do less harm, yet they aren't highly publicized because it would drastically reduce profits. Either way, my wife was diagnosed with cancer last year, we said no to chemo and radiation, and today our doctors are shocked. Her cancer is GONE, and we are pregnant with a wonderfully healthy baby -- something that would not have been poss. had we done chemo.

Think for yourselves people. Peace.

DUH! Does this have anything to do with a new "BOOK"??? Shame on you for being the tacky woman you are and making more STUPID comments. What MD school have you attended?? Anything to get attention and be in the news. Go back to thigh master.

This is natural selection at it's worst. All of the egomaniacs will lead the sheep off of a cliff and they will fall to their death.

Suzanne Somers is not a fucking doctor. I would no more take medical advice from her than I would ride in a rocket designed by gerbils. She should be glad she made millions of dollars for having a nice rack and selling crappy exercise equipment, spend her money and shut the hell up.

Amazing how all the comments from those of you against her comments are all vulgar and extremely hateful. Unbelievable, narrow minded and hateful. Scary.

Amazing how all the comments from those of you against her comments are all vulgar and extremely hateful. Unbelievable, narrow minded and hateful. Scary.

It is proper to be vile and hateful towards a person who's recommending a course of action that is provably going to kill a hell of a lot of people.

We don't have time to be nice. People will die because of creatures like Suzanne Somers and Jenny McCarthy.

Suzanne survived her cancer -- by taking normal treatments as well as her woo treatments. I was glad at the time, because I thought it would show her and the world the reality.

Now hearing this, I'm sorry she did that, because she lived, and now people will die because they listen to her.

there is just no coming back from pancreatic cancer. With very few treatment options, I'm surprised the chemo worked as long as it did. Sure, it is poison, but it kills cancer, and has saved many lives.

Guess her QVC appearances fell through, and she needed to get into the media again somehow. Maybe she caught some crazy from medical/autism expert Jenny McCarthy.

THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THE MEDICAL INDUSTRY IS TO PROLONG DEATH. THE RIGHT WAY TO CURE CANCER IS TO NOT INVOLVE THE PROFIT MOTIVATED MEDICAL INDUSTRY. THEY ARE THE REAL KILLERS.

GERSON.ORG

hey tards - shes absofrigginlutely correct. ever hear of agenda 21?? eugenics?? start googling. why dont you all do a little research before you spout off BS geysers predicated upon preconceptions??

Man, this whole page is like one or two government people.

You guys really do suck at shilling on the web. As a matter of fact, you guys really shouldn't be on Earth with the rest of us with a horrid mouth and personality like that.

Baking Soda is the cure for cancer. It dries it up. 53cents in the baking isle.

The shills for Big Pharma and the multi-billion dollar cancer industry are working overtime on this thread! Fortunately, anyone with even half a brain can see right through your pathetic efforts. Somers IS correct in that chemotherapy IS poison which destroys the body's own immune system -- and it's a healthy immune system that is needed to kill off the cancer cells.

How many people have to die unnecessary, horrible deaths at the hands of the cancer industry? The TRUTH is that the medical establishment will NEVER produce cures for cancer because cancer is simply too profitable a business.

There ARE effective, natural treatments for cancer. Seek them out -- and for God's sake, STAY AWAY FROM CHEMO!

It's obvious to me that she knows nothing of pancreatic cancer and just confirmed she is a true blonde. I recently lost my husband to pancreatic cancer and although we had hopes of his survival thru chemo treatments, that didn't happen. Would I recommend chemo to anyone with this horrible disease-no, but it certainly isn't what killed him in fact it extended his life by 6 months..just not necessarily quality months ..for him.

Well I do that Suzanne Summers is right Most Americans are dumb ass losers and cry to doctors to save them when Chemo and radiation only spreads it to the bones and liver very fast. Most tumors are not even malingent until you destroy the immune system with chemo. Doctors divide up $200 billion each years pumping out poison to cancer patients, all on the whim of a lump or a cat scan they never let you see, you would really have to catch me napping to sell me that bull shit. Also when the cancer doctors are tired of killing you directly, then they start cancer drug companies with investment bankers, the FDA is lobbied, new poisons are approved, stock rises rapidly from $1 to $50 overnight, bankers and cancer doctors make millions, later stocks go back down when drug don't work, little investors lose their money and all you loser Americans remain with your head up your asses.

This is to: Virrgodoll, Christina the Nurse, You're all just defending your paychecks in the medical field; Why did Paul Newman live until 82 with the most aggressive-Lung cancer without any treatment until he was near the end? Without chemo & radiation most can live well into their 70's with just a strong immune system, but with cancer doctors,most cancer patients survive only 5-6 years like 2 of my sisters! DAMN for 50 years the cure rate is only 5%. Virrgodoll and Christina the nurse better go back to school cause they don't know shittt! Doctors are all to willing to diagnose cancer, begin chemo immediately(start collecting on your insurance) with only bright spots on a CAT scan just like they did to Suzanne Somers, and my sister Mary only had a sist in her saliva gland but DR. Simpson(ASSHOLE) in ST Louis radiated her head so much it destroyed her in two months. There are thousands of cases each year where they are wrong and Doctors are very willing to ERROR ON THE SIDE OF YOUR INSURANCE MONEY! Doctors also tell you that radioactive PET/CAT/MRI dyes leave your body after 1 day, but they are liars, bone/dense tissue/minerals in your body absorb ions and become radiated-you can set off border/airport radiation detectors 6 weeks after a radioactive dye application-all these repeated use of MRI's also spread cancer to the bone. Cedar Sianai in LA had their machine set wrong and gave 17 times to much radioactive dye for each MRI/CAT for only god knows how long-that is a good indication of how much you CAN NOT TRUST CANCER DOCTORS and their LOUSY EDUCATIONS-all they want is their next house/car/Thailand pedifile sex tourist vacation-from your insurance dollars.

This is to Kelly: Sorry but you're out in space trying to use logic-not your strong suit-you should stick to intuition, Suzanne Sumers is right on! Holistic cancer patients use nutrients to boost the immune system which is capable of killing or isolating any virus or cancer within you body, and continually does so-doesn't that make sense? TRY THIS-how is it logical to fight cancer in (one area) of your body by injecting powerful poisons (throughout the entire body) and destroying your blood, immune system, lymphatic system and causing new tumors in the liver, pancreas, kidneys, as it so ofter does after conventional cancer treatment? Obviously, you don't comprehend how much of BIG BUSINESS Cancer is: 1) $200 billion each yr. for cancer doctors, 2) 2)cancer threat keeps all people paying top dollars for health Insurance $1 Trillion each yr. extra for insurance firms 3)Government/private donations research/ to med. centers, and universities, and doctors equal $150 billion each year, 5) Doctors who quit cancer treatment, started Drug compaines averaging sales of $100 billion-$200 billion each year for cancer drugs, GRAND TOTAL =$1.5 Trillion each year, at that level of money DOCTORS DON"T GIVE A CRAP EVEN IF THEIR OWN FAMILY MEMBERS DIE FROM LAME CANCER TREATMENT-It's equal to the entire tax base of the U.S. DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF GREED-Believe it or continue to live in denial as the Child you seem to be!!!

I agree whole heartedly with JIMBOB 186, he said it better than I can so I'll paraphrase, "YOUR HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IS TIED TO PROFIT!" CORPORATIONS, BIG PHARMA, ALL WANT YOU TO die SO THEY CAN MAKE A PROFIT! Yea, FUUK THE NEW WORLD ORDER!

I can't comment on chemo as I am not an oncologist, but I would like to ask Suzanne what it feels like to have a 30 year-old face on a wrinkly, sagging 63 year-old body - cuz it LOOKS pretty friggin sad!
