我更觉得Decitabine这种药物不可靠。

你真的愿意让患血癌的人冒这种风险去尝试吗?这种方法有康复的可能性吗?医生自己清不清楚给病人服用有多少成功康复的例子?还是书上这些就这么做呢?RM198,000的费用,如果不能康复,病人以后的生活如何呢?如果医生也糊里糊涂明知是无补于事都照做,是否可以相信他呢?

我认为,绝对不能盲目、毫无保留、失去理性地去相信医生,因为我看过许多认识接受医院医生治疗的癌症病患最终的下场就是十分痛苦地死去。我不禁怀疑,是因为上天把癌症设定成是不治之症,还是现代医学出现严重的漏洞。

你说我在挑战医学,我当然没有什么资格,但是我的确不能相信现在医学在这个癌症的层面能够扮演的角色。尤其是当事件发生在我周遭的亲人。

魔鬼是。。。


让人上瘾的毒品;
让人自卑的社会价值观;
让人心虚的行为-别人看不到就以为自己没做错;
让人外在漂亮,内心却充满丑陋;
令你无法自制;
虚伪、欺骗、不是发自内心的;
令你失去立场;
令你不懂去爱、包容和关怀;
令你迷信;
令你远离上帝、远离真理;
令你沉沦于万劫不复,宰杀你于无形。
