The Complete Encyclopedia of Natural Healing by Gary Null Ph.D
Out of curiosity I checked out this book from the Belvedere Library to see just how bad it is.
In the very beginning he has a section on "How to Use Alternative Therapies Safely" Here are a few of his statements/suggestions: 1) Get diagnosed by a conventional physician to be sure you're not missing anything. 2) Always weigh the risks and benefits of any approach. 3) Just because it's 'natural' doesn't mean it's safe. 4) If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is. Some of his advice on treating cancer: "Antioxidant supplements prevent cells from becoming cancerous and can increase a patients tolerance for chemotherapy and radiation;...." This indicates that he is not against conventional treatments for cancer. About AIDS: "Researchers now seem hopeful that new drug combinations can keep the disease under control, and this approach does seem to be helping some patients. At this point, though, no one knows the long-term effects of these drugs. What we do know is that long-term survivors do not rely totally on pharmaceuticals." Once again, he's not against conventional treatments, he's recommending a balanced approach of medication and nutrition. This doesn't mean I agree with everything he recommends, but it's not dangerous as long as people remember to take his advice and consult with their PCP first. |
