Most oncologist believe that within 10 yr or so CA will become a chronic

Ta-Ya,

I will look forward to seeing Dr. Weil's book. I've shared

patients with his center in the past, and my experience was a

positive one. By the way, Dr. Weil predicts that chemotherapy will

fall out of favor as a major therapy for cancer in the next ten

years. I myself hope better alternatives are developed.
