    @7TJBarba In your understanding, you would rather send someone with cancer to the gym then feed them (with raw food) before giving them chemotherapy or radiotherapy. I hope you never get near the medical profession, it would be a catastrophe for public health.

    @YourBooksAreWrong
    Well Luke 12:47 is a moral of the story speech about knowing the right thing to do and not doing it is sinful, it’s wrong. And the Matthew verse is about becoming like Jesus, which is a bad thing? I highly doubt you have better morals then a man who died for change. We can easily take anyone out of context to portray them how we please, but we must look at the whole.

    @DSAhmed Please tell me you are joking. You literally believe chemotherapy and drugs do anything for cancer? This is the problem with conventional medicine. They only treat symptoms using toxic chemicals. Instead holistic and integrative medicine focuses on healing the body as a whole using nutrition, detoxification, exercise, etc. Surgery and drugs should always be a LAST RESORT. Brian Clement from Hippocrates heals people of cancer using the raw food diet, infrared saunas, and exercise.
