The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Kill or cure ?
This news item points out how narrow is the border between harm and benefit when using pharmaceutical drugs.When it comes to antitumor drugs, both the physicians who prescribe them and the patients who receive them would agree that better chemotherapeutic agents are needed. Drugs in common use were designed to take advantage of general characteristics of tumor cells such as hormone responsiveness or high rates of cell division. Unfortunately, these properties are also found in some healthy cells. This general lack of specificity has led to the use of drug doses that straddle a knife edge between efficacy and toxicity.
