Lolimono,

So sorry for the loss of your aunt.

Mistritsquirrel,

Called you a liar? Omg. Wha is wrong with some people on forums?! Sickening, really.

OF COURSE  cancers can come back, spread, etc!

We have a close friend who is going through a similar sitation. He had prostate cancer. He went through radiation, surgery,  chemo, chinese medicine even!, ....you name it, he tried it. Then, poof! It went into remission.  It lasted about 6 years. Now it is back and has spread to his spine.

I really wish people in forums could be civil in their discourse! It is fine to disagree, but there is NO reason to ever denigrate those with whom we have a difference of opinion! And certainly NO reason for anyone to call another a liar, esp when the accuser has no first hand knowledge of what the other person's particular situation is. Ugh

Sorry some were so rude to you. Some people are just plain __________ [fill in the blank!].

(((Hugs)))

Thanks, @Wannabeincali.  The board moderation wasn't as good at that time, so it was a bit like the Wild West on here. 

I hope your friend keeps fighting and trying any alternatives he is up for, or that he is able to make peace with his diagnosis.

To stay on topic, lol, I am posting a pic of the fruit infuser water pitcher that I use. I got it from Amazon. It is by Prodyne.

It was under $20. We have had it for 3 years. The only issue is that if you put it through the dishwasher, itgets brittle and the spout sieve broke apart on the lid. My other one that my mom had, is fine. She handwashed hers.  I will only handwash them from now on.

.....About my friend. ...

Thanks for the well wishes. He is going through a tough time. All was going well, and then his Chinese Med Herbalost doctor *Dr. Han* was murdered in Santa Barbara not too long ago. His entire family was murdered.  iIt was soon after, that my friend's cancer returned. Coincidence? Stress and shock over the murder and fear his treatments were now ended? Cancer returned because he noo longer could receive the treatments? Who knows, but I doubt it was just coincidence. I think it is a combo of the shock, fear of loss of teatment and the stress from it all, plus not getting the treatments. It took over a year for police to release the herbal prescriptions to Dr. Han's patients!! Terrible!! And it is almost impossible to find a true, highly capable chinese med herbalist in Calif nowadays, as there are a lot of conspiracy theories surrounding the execution murders of not onky he, but several other holistic doctors. So sad......  He finally did find one, but I do not think he feels confident in his abilities....not the way he did with Dr. Han.

Thanks again for your kind words and thoughts. We pray for him daily.

Good grief!!  That's horrible.  

I wish people had greater access to alternative therapies.  It's too bad that will never happen in the U.S.  There's just too much money to be made by those in charge.

I hope his new doctor is able to help.

I'll leave the alleged health benefits to someone else.  The flavor combinations are what appeal to me.  I gottta print that chart....
