Has anyone seen this cancer cure? I havent been able to find anything to refute it as yet but lots of supporting links it seems.
Lots of supporting links are to be expected. Yo'll find the same for the flat eath society, and for hollow earth believers. They can't both be true.Originally Posted by Ryoden
He claims to have treated 70,000 people and been researching this for 25 years. 2,800 people a year or 7 patients a day or nearly 1 % of all australia's skin cancer patients. (380,000 per year) Just about feasable but seems a lot. He claims a 95% success rate. OF all of Autralia's skin cancer patients 1600 die each year from skin cancer, that might suggest that conventional treatment has a better than 99.5% survival rate - however we must be wary of statistics and consider that some may have died of metasticised cancers that originate from skin cancer.
Nonetheless Dr Cham doesn't treat the hardest cancers, "The cream has not proven to be effective in treating melanoma." so we're not comparing like with like.
No indepentdant verification of his claims, no independant clinical trials and as such the claims being made are those of an unlicenced drug. These are illegal for good reason.
I'd love this to be true but have no reason to belive it is anything other than one of the thousands of unscrupulous people exploiting the desperate with fraudulent claims of a cancer cure.
assuming his patients aren't forgoign conventional treatment
If the 'home' website is also the place to buy it, and the book, that's a bad start right there (http://www.eggplantcancercure.com/).
If that website has no clinical data, only testimonials, that's another big alarm bell.
If the person hasn't even tried to collect and publish data after 25 years then he's more than likely a fraud.
As I recall, the major skin cancer (other than melanoma) is squamous-cell carcinoma. Medical treatment of that is quick, painless, (and inexpensive, as medical treatments go, in the USA). Why try anything else?
More to the point, if they have an idea of a suspected compound, it should be isolated and rigorously studied. Most herbalists falter at this notion.
Assuming of course that it is a single compound causing the (alleged) effect and not the combined effects of two or more compounds. Not wishing to be an uncritical herbal supporter, but clinical trials have something of a blind spot towards either the combined effects of two or more compounds, or something to do with the structure of the material rather than just its constituents, or both.
I remember, at school, extracting chlorophyll to form a pretty green solution in alcohol, but having to have it explained by the teacher that I couldn't just expose my solution to sunlight in order to produce oxygen. Not only does the chlorophyll need a large number of other compounds to work, but they all need to be organised in a complex structure in the plant.
I don't think they're that bad. They'd have to be daft to not know that a plant is made up of a multitude of chemicals in varying proportions and that it may not be a single agent causing the needed effect.
Whilst they may hope it's, and first test ,the single 'ingredient' I don't believe they're blind to the multiple ingredient.
Even then it's jumping the gun, efficacy has to be proven from the complicated ingredient first. It has to be shown to be worth the companies time & money to break it down in the first place.
We know how to deal with that, it is a standard consideration.

Ohmygoodgiddyod! I hope our Australian friends are giving this a good run for its money!! And on a Psych website! Maybe eggplant has a mind of its own? I think we should be told. Perhaps when eggplants die they go on to a spiritual dimension where people like Gary Mannion (sorry, Abraham) can utilise them in psych surgery?
I am off to take a look at this Jonathan V. Wright, M.D. (medical director of the Tahoma Clinic in the Seattle, WA area).
Presumably they mean aubergine. Delicious, sliced lengthways and roasted for 20 mins, then marinated for an hour in olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, coriander and chopped olives.
Orac has now done a deconstruction of the concept, read it here

Pick your own favourite bit.
Seems they can prevent just about any condition you care to mention. Wonder how much it would cost to prevent everything? After all, prevention is better than cure, especially when it is so lucrative.
Ahh excellent, I thought it was too good to be true.
You won't go far wrong with "If it seems to good to be true it probably is"
