It is generally good for all people in all age groups to eat a healthful diet, but extremes need to be avoided. Many fraudulent cancer practices involve magical thinking. One such notion is that the bowel contains many toxic substances and poisons. This hypothesis justifies the use of enemas and purgatives to detoxify poisonous substances in the bowel, removing them from the system. This has led to the use of coffee enemas and irrigations to purge the bowel.
Patients frequently have a magical notion about the role of vitamins in human nutrition.
Vitamins are known to be coenzymes that help catalyze biochemical reactions. People take iron regularly for anemia, whether anemia is related to iron deficiency or not. Unscrupulous practitioners are becoming increasingly sophisticated in their presentation of fraudulent therapies to the public at large. Cell specific cancer therapy in Santa Domingo, Dominican Republic, has recently been promoted in a number of underground magazines as a new treatment for cancer. Fundamentally, this is a technique where magnets are used to attack the malignancy.
