Walking better than Chemo for Cancer

Great to hear a conventional oncologist going over the recent research and saying that doctors should suggest walking instead of chemo for cancer patients. But guess what: it's more effective. So getcha some sneaks and get out there. And get a dog: it will MAKE you walk.

I do a lot of editing for a cancer journal, and I wish it would cover this. Given how chemo poisons the body, I'd think doctors would want to advocate anything else that could help without all the yucky side effects.

Yeah, well, there's this little thing called the pharmacomedical industry, which appears to me to be every bit as powerful as the militaryindustrialcomplex. Seems to help perpetuate quite a few dangerous and unsubstantiated conventional medical practices.
