From an email sent April 22, 2005: My wife has been struggling with cancer for 5 years. She has been taking PolyMVA for almost a year with no benefits whatsoever. She “believes’ its’ helping her, but she continues to get worse. She has spent about $1000 a month on this supposed “cure”. The people promoting this are into a multilevel marketing scheme that is also trying to sell her other “cures”. In my mind it’s a total fraud, and you can have anyone that wants more info on this situation to contact me via email. Al in Seattle I have been very supportive of her trying various alternatives, but there seems to be an undercurrent in the alternative medicine world of “miracle” cures. These cures she has tried, have all been without any kind of scientific studies or peer reviews in scientific journals, all of which the companies claim are “anti alternative” or “run by big Pharma” etc. The reality is that no one taking any of these cures has any guarantee about whether it contains what it says it does. If it really could cure cancer, there would be reproducible evidence. Most are simply multilevel marketing schemes that mark the product up with every person in the chain. There has always been “snake oil “ salespeople, and the very term came from people selling products to cure illness. This is not new. The unfortunate reality is that there are people preying on severely ill people, some with all the right intentions, some not. But PolyMVA appears to me, someone who has helped his wife pay for it for about a year, to be a total fraud, and may be dangerous given the effects of Palladium on the body. It’s sadly funny that many of these same people would have their fillings pulled out because of mercury poisoning concerns, but willingly put palladium in their bodies, which has almost a similar poisoning affect! Do people miraculously heal themselves from illness? You bet. Can someone repeatably do it using some expensive cure all that has not been scientifically proven? Not likely.
