Thanks Dr. Santosh Helekar. I also have doubt whether any authority in Ayurveda will be in a position to give such an clear cut answer in respect of Cancer.

How far will this parade of ignorance be taken to mislead Goanetters on this important matter about their lives? 80% of patients with Hodgkin's Disease today are cured with proper modern medical treatment. Please see the following information provided by the American Cancer Society: http://www.cancer.org/docroot/CRI/content/CRI_2_4_4x_How_Is_Hodgkin_Disease_Treated.asp?sitearea= Here is the relevant quote: "In recent years, many advances have been made in treating Hodgkin disease. Most newly-diagnosed patients can be cured with chemotherapy and radiation therapy." Please do not trust any of the material pertaining to medical science and health in the post appended below. It is completely bogus. Most people today do not die from cancer. The five-year survival for cancer today is 66% in the U.S. The death rates for most common cancers such as breast, lung, stomach, prostate, blood, lymphoid tissue, colon and rectum, uterus, etc., have declined sharply over the last couple of decades from their peaks in the 70's and 80's when Dr. Borges was treating cancer patients. Many cancers are completely curable even in advanced stages as I had pointed out earlier. I can substantiate every single statement of mine with reliable data from responsible sources.
