Sooo... you think Lucidending is sick from side effects, and thoughts of suicide will leave him once he stops taking these awful drugs? Perhaps his or her situation is not as parallel to yours as you think. It's hard to say based on the little data there is, but perhaps all that is left for him or her is palliative care.

I said no such thing and I have no idea where you are getting that idea. Given that cancer has spread to his brain and the hell he has clearly been through, I understand his choice. I've been in a similar situation. However, it just so happens that my efforts to stop the pain -- which conventional drugs were not effectively treating -- began killing the underlying infection. I was really quite annoyed when I realized that because it meant I would live and the recovery would be both long and hard. That was about 10 years ago. The recovery has, in fact, been long and hard -- 10 years and counting and in recent months it has been common for me to throw up all day one day a week, so "hard" is an understatement. But unlike with conventional treatments -- where my doctor literally told me "People like you don't get well. Symptom management is the name of the game." -- what I am going through now actually is getting me well. I wouldn't wish what I am going through on my worst enemy. But it beats the hell out of conventional treatments for my condition. It both involves less suffering and actually is getting me well. It is hands down a better experience and a better outcome.

  Why doesn't conventional medicine recognize your form of treatment? What exactly is your form of treatment anyway? Just letting the body do its thing?

    Why doesn't conventional medicine recognize your form of treatment? Because it was invented by some former homemaker with credentials like "I gave up my national merit scholarship and dropped out of college to go do the wife and mom thing for two decades. Now I'm a poverty stricken divorcee who has no clue how I am going to pay my electric bill this month before they cut my power off." Not exactly the kind of credentials that get you written up in JAMA. What exactly is your form of treatment anyway? There is a little info here about what I've done (though please note the site is woefully out of date as the last 10 months have been extremely intense): http://healthgazelle.com/ http://healthgazelle.com/ Just letting the body do its thing? Are you kidding? That leads to a gruesome death of the sort that motivates people to put up with the horrors of conventional medicine. Getting well has involved a great deal of research and work and other resources, mostly to redress 36 years of not getting appropriate treatment because I was diagnosed late in life. The most succinct explanation I have come up with is on this page: http://healthgazelle.com/rootsoftheproblem.shtml http://healthgazelle.com/rootsoftheproblem.shtml Oh and have an upvote for asking good questions.
