The key to reducing quackery lies in healing patients and treating their experience.

I can agree with several of the points made in this review; however, it does not deal with the reality of having cancer. I doubt very much that the authors have had either cancer or any other life-threatening illness, and so do not understand what “the natives” are experiencing. If doctors were trained in communication skills, then quackery would diminish greatly. We need to reparent our patients so that they feel loved and cared about and are, in turn, able to love and care for themselves. When you are told what day you are going to die and all hope is taken away, why not seek alternative therapies?
