When my son was diagnosis with Rhabdomyosarcoma at 9yrs. old he was started on a 53week protocol. His hair started to fall out when I started him on a 3 mushroom complex of (excuse spelling) riatoki, myatoki and shiatoki elixar. I got it at the Centralia Wa. health food store. Well after 53 weeks of a wicked bad round of mouth sores, vomiting severe pain and horrible weightloss, that little boy still had a full head of hair. He was the ONLY kid on that protocol with hair. 2 years later when he relapsed the hospital had me sign a paper , under the threat of having my son taken away to become a ward of the state, that I would NOT give him ANY kind of vitemin, or anything from the health store. He lost his hair and was bald with in the first week of treatment. Then after a wicked battle he died. What in the hell do the docs have against healthy alternatives. Cancer is a money makin business for a lot of people. And thats how they look at it. MONEY!

It just seems so wrong that USA doesn't have as progressive of health care as Europe!

This treatment should be covered by insurance.
