Hi Kevin, Sorry, I don't think so. That post was under the Science and Religion thread. It made the following unsupported and frivolous claims, and I paraphrase (Please see the original post again): 1. A modern scientific experiment in mice has shown that an old grandmother's kaannee about cancer surgery causing a cancer to spread was accurate. 2.Only a pseudo-scientist would ignore the observations from grandmother's kaanneo. 3. When doctors do not know what is going on, they call it "the immune system", instead of calling it the soul, inner strength, God within, etc. But for a supurlo Goenkar like Gilbert there is no difference between these terms. 4. People all over the world, over the last 5000 years, had similar perspectives on this issue as doctors today. 5. Gilbert has seen quite a few Goans get ill due to disregard of grandmother's kaanneo. 6. Gilbert has provided the scientific basis of some Goan myths and grandmother's kaanneo in his book on Goa. I hope you get the correct gist of his post. Please read the latest review articles to find out about the effects of surgical stress on the immune system and the role of aggressive cancer surgery in different types of cancer, e.g. in ovarian cancer. Also, I am sure you know that a good book on modern immunology would tell you how much knowledge about the immune system at the molecular, cellular and systems level, has accumulated just over the last 10 years.
