'A sad case': She chose herbals over surgery

Another story: 35 years old woman had cervical carcinoma, it didn't grew but doctor put the woman at surgery. She dead from loss of blood because surgeon affected vein.

Everyone have free choice, almost nobody knows his death's cause.

How much are the drug companys paying the AP for these stories? I saw TWO of them in a row last night in yahoo new, almost exactly the same, an old guy who thought he was doing the right thing, but when he found out it was hurting him he went home and thrrew those hundreds of dollars of supplements away! scumbag drug companies

The number of people who are uneducated in basic anatomy, let alone physiology are encouraged to self-treat for serious conditions/symptoms. OTC/supplemental health products is totally unregulated and a multi-billion dollar market. All too often, the results are as this article presents, some more dramatic, some less.

The distrust of the medical community, research community, the FDA and stewards of public health is well deserved. Today that distrust grows as privacy issues are rearing their head in heavy handed management to save that glorious dollar. Public/policy perceptions regarding those who become ill increasingly negative while personal bankruptcy's rise on a lop-sided economic paradigm in health care. It is unsustainable in its current but the bitter medicine to correct it is being refused.

Now the choices should be expanded to include safe, quick, painless, affordable and accessible euthanasia clinics. Lets be sure to include massive ad campaigns to fuel the competition for the best ones "as seen on TV".

Right...because the supplement producers aren't after your money. Why do you even visit a science blog when you don't believe the findings of science? Supplements are not supported by scientific evidence.

there is no such thing as "unbiased" "news". MOST of the stories on PHYSORG are ultimately sourced from PR FIRMS who get paid to present stories by whom so ever is PAYING for them

She should have done more research. Most herbal treatments do not treat acute, rapid development ailments like cancer...or big injuries like car crashes. Any herbalist worth his salt will tell you straight up. In the end, she made the wrong choice due to incomplete understanding. Herbal cures have nothing to do with this case.
