Has anyone read Suzanne Somer`s book on alternative cancer ...

To beat her stage one breast cancer, Suzanne Somers used conventional cancer treatment – surgery and radiotherapy.

She now makes a big noise about having refused chemo; but for a stage one, very small, er+ tumour treated with minimal surgery and ‘belt and braces’ radiotherapy, chemotherapy is very unlikely to have been recommended or offered. So her honesty must be called into question.

She now claims to have ‘cured’ her own breast cancer with alternative treatments, and makes a mint selling vitamins and supplements which she claims will prevent and treat cancer.

And all the vitamin pills and ‘immune system boosting’ stuff she’s grown rich on didn’t stop her from getting a serious case of disseminated coccidioidomycosis – her fantastic immune system allowed her to get a severe infection from a fungus that apparently almost killed her.

She has done so little research on the quackery she peddles to other people that she was unaware that some preparations she sells and takes contain steroids, and so delayed her treatment and was temporarily misdiagnosed because her doctors didn’t know she was taking steroids.

In her risible book, she recounts the conversation with the doctor who said ‘You should have told us you were taking steroids’, and she still denies she was or ever would take steroids.

Erm..she was and is taking cortisol as part of her “bioidentical hormone” cocktail; clearly she doesn’t know that all oestrogens she is taking are steroid hormones, or that cortisol is a corticosteroid.

And of course this queen of all things natural fills her face with botox and the like.

She made a fortune by exploiting people's fears and desperation of vulnerable people, she had an early stage and therefore easy to treat cancer, and used conventional methods to bring it into remission and lied about it and is a charlatan and is almost certainly put lives in danger.

Do not bother with the book is turgid, poorly written and full of misinformation. Here's a good review, however:

EDIT: @ Hope Floats: the difference between cancer Somers and the other two you mention, is that Somers had breast cancer stage one - long-term survival rates: nearly 100% .
