I may regret commenting here, but will give it a shot. I'm a Naturopath that believes totally in natural healing. I healed myself from lupus and lyme disease only using natural methods. Now having said this, I also very much believe in allopathic medicine. Not exclusively, but I believe both work well together.
Herbs don't cure as much as chemo will not cure. Both just give the body a fighting chance. If the patient does not work with the "regime", whether it be holistic or allopathic, they will not heal or be cured.
I agree with Red, Steve Jobs was a self absorbed, angry man! Ask any Oncologist in any cancer ward and they will tell you, only those with positive attitudes and the WILL to change will heal from disease.
I believe no matter what form of treatment he chose, he would not have survived since he didn't have the attitude to match.

Those that come into our clinic with breast, colon, prostate cancers etc, come in doing allopathic medicine and what we do is help support their bodies for the war the body takes with chemo and radiation. We never ever recommend anyone get of pharma! These forms of medicine harm the body, so we offer diet adjustments, proper vitamins, minerals and other supporting therapies to get these patients well.

If anyone believes disease is cured with natural or allopathic medicine alone, is fooling themselves. Most medicines (herbs and pharma)are band-aid therapy and never gets to the root cause of illness. Find the root cause, heal the ailment.
My Rheumatologist and family doctor actually refer their patients to me now, so allopathic dr's are starting to see the power of ALL forms of healing.

Those that dis alternative healing don't understand the concept at all.
This is my business and what I believe in because allopathic dr's drugged me up and my illness got worse. It's when I took control of my mind, body and spirit and really looked a the cause of my illness, is when I got well.

Smurf, you believe in Wayne Dyer, so you should be a believer!

Don't blame his death on alternative medicine. He pussed out at the idea of surgery. Our immune system is only capable of doing so much. He probably could have had the tumor removed and done follow up with alternative medicine and might have been just fine. My chiropractor is just about the most hard core alternative medicine person I know but when he had bladder cancer he still had the tumor removed surgically. He chose not to do after care in terms of chemo or radiation, which is also considered alternative.

Like you people keep telling me, you make a decision, you go the course and accept the consequences. You don't like the outcome, oh well. Don't go throwing the baby out with the bathwater (my experience with real estate ownership is a good example).

Put it this way, if I turned up with a lump or something somewhere I'd probably have the lump chopped out but pass on the poison.

There are good, effective alternative medicine practitioners and snake oil salesmen (just like there are good conventional doctors and and bad ones). From what I've read about his cancer, and from what I know of good alternative medicine docs, he was probably told to get the surgery and then come back for follow up, and kept searching until he found one that gave him the answer he wanted to hear.

yep!

I'm scientific-minded, and I think there are times when regular medicine/surgery is the answer, and other times when it's not. In Jobs' case, I have no idea what he did & didn't do, and what his feelings were about it (I don't always believe news items about this stuff). I personally know a couple of people who have used various non-traditional routines to "cure" illnesses, including a bad cancer, but it could also be just plain old luck. Who knows... I know I don't.

As far as "rich people" getting bumped up on donor lists, I strongly doubt it. But if you don't have to fart around with medical insurance, you will be treated right away, and you will pay less than the people with insurance sometimes. It also might not be as much rich or poor, it might be who you know and who they know, and phone calls made.

Glad you posted this up...well said. This is the sensible approach!

I don't know. I was asking a hypothetical.

Is it ethical for someone to buy their way up the transplant list if it helps other people get transplants?

Apple doesn't even offer dividends to its investors. I doubt its leader would've offered livers lol. That's one big difference between Jobs and Gates. Gates is far more charitable.

So even if a rich person using their money to get to an organ significantly increases the overall number of organ transplants (including to those who do not use their money), you'd be against it?

How is more money going to increase the amount of organs available?

And also more alive

I was thinking more along the lines of procedure cost. That's got to be an expensive ordeal. I did a little searching on organ transplants and it surprised me there isn't a way to sell an organ. That seems crazy at first, but I wonder if the end justifies the means.
