Ya'll know that one of Deepak's major partners is dying of cancer...Dr. David Simon. I don't actually know the status of his illness. He went into remission for awhile.

For if she had been cured of her cancer, she would not have died within a year of being cured by her cancer, presuming the cause of death was cancer.These seem to be reasonable conclusions. What am I missing? Her name was Marian Thompson, and it was horrible.A good friend of mine watched her go downhill in theyear or two after her so-called "cure." Here is whatQuackwatch had to say: "On a "Donahue" show, Chopra maintained that people who are happy not only have fewer colds but are less likely to get heart disease or cancer. During one segment, Chopra took Phil Donahue's pulse and diagnosed him as "a romantic." The program also featured a testimonial by Marian Thompson, a patient whose metastatic breast cancer had gone into remission with chemotherapy plus ayurvedic treatment. Chopra asserted that his methods had played a major role in the woman's apparent recovery by strengthening her immune system. Ms. Thompson subsequently died of her disease." http://bit.ly/4pic2C There's undoubtedly more on this elsewhere on the Web. Sal
