This morning I got an email from my mom, saying she's been watching a video series I might find interesting. Turns out it's episode 5 of something called "The Truth About Cancer". The description for the video runs thus:
Here’s just a few of the things you’ll learn in tonight’s show:
- The effect of a toxic mouth on cancer – hear from a renowned biological dentist
in Tennessee who is also an NM.
- The importance of a healthy and properly aligned spine
- Meet a man who healed his “terminal” kidney cancer by correcting his spine
- Discover how and why toxic metals (mercury) and additives to our water (fluoride)
cause cancer
- The link between vaccines and cancer and the current effort to force vaccines on
the entire global population
- What you think and feel does matter in the cancer puzzle – emotional techniques to
heal the body and reverse cancer
- Learn the true science behind homeopathy and visit London to meet a young lady
who was diagnosed with supposedly “Terminal” brain cancer 19 years ago and is
alive and well” due to homeopathy
- Plus so much more
I'm not totally surprised as my mom tends to be fanatical about things (like her religion) and has been going on a bit about healthy eating and gut bacteria and stuff recently, plus my grandpa died recently from his chemo. But I'm finding I'm still horrified to see she is taking this seriously. The website it's coming from is a pretty obvious scare site. And cancer being cured by a trip to the chiropractor? I just can't.
Plus, when I was showing the email to my husband, my mother-in-law heard him mention the name of the video an it turns out she's watching it too. That I found surprising - she's a lot more mellow than my mom, and I didn't think as prone to this kind of thing.
Part of it is probably that I haven't gotten enough sleep lately, but I'm really angry that someone would pull this scare-tactic shit over on susceptible people like my mom and mom-in-law. They're perfectly intelligent women, but my mom in particular has the perfect personality (very all-or-nothing and emotionally driven) to eat this stuff up. At the rate she's going, I wouldn't be at all surprised if down the road we reach a point where she'd choose faith healing and probiotics over medical attention for something serious.
I just had to get that off my chest. It's the middle of the night here, so I'm going to go try to actually sleep or something. Thanks for listening.
