001. at youtube.com, from the account "azfamily powered by 3TV & CBS5AZ", there's "Video: Cancer Treatment Using Naturopathic Methods" (2018) [saved 2018-12-11]which states:
.
"[from the description] in late November, we ran a story about a woman in Gilbert who is choosing to treat her breast cancer naturally which means without the use of conventional treatments like surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation [...from the video, it's] a plant-based treatment [...] in Costa Rica [...] without the use of conventional treatments [...] this discussion about healthcare and choice [...here's] naturopathic oncologist [...] Dan Rubin [...] neither, he says, is necessarily better than the other [...] the naturopathic or non-conventional approach is not superior to say surgical intervention [...and he admits about the Gilbert woman's chosen course, for] 'the overwhelming majority [that go 'only natural'...] their tumors spread' [...] he went on to say others do just fine [...and] 'we have a lot of tools at our disposal'";
I have often said that the two scariest words in healthcare is "naturopathic oncologist." Quackery in a tuxedo. Now, the ND says that naturopathic alone is not better than conventional alone, and promotes a combination because that's naturopathy's parasitic MO. But, the news personality seems to interpret that position as one of equal outcomes, but that's CRAZY. So, there's this overwhelming equivocation, and promise. And to clear message: use modern medicine. Not naturopathic sectarian alternates.
002. now, the "naturopathic oncologist" link to ND Rubin's practice SHOULD set off alarm bells for anyone aware of pure quackery when it mentions:
"some options that may be employed by a naturopathic oncologist include [...] homeopathic therapeutics [...and] traditional Chinese medicine";
ah, the science-ejected and superstitious.
