Could Pesticide and Herbicides Be Used in Place of Tradiational Chemotherapy?
Question by NONAME: Could Pesticide and Herbicides be used in place of tradiational chemotherapy?
In the Atlanta area, over a year ago, a guy claiming to be a Oncologist Physician (But wasn’t!!) was treating cancer patients with Pesticides and Herbicides, the patients claimed it was working in fighting cancer and at MUCH less the cost (Because he was buying the ‘Chemotherapy’ drugs from Home Depot). Couldn’t it work much the same in killing and retarding cancer cell growth?

No… if it was killing the cancer cells, it was because they were dying with the person receiving the “treatment.” Would you trust your life to a hack treating cancer with products bought at Home Depot? Plus I actually can’t think of any pesticides or herbicides that are used safely in humans… nicotine might be the one that comes the closest. Some carbamates (a class of insecticide) were used in chemotherapy a long time ago, until they figured out that it really didn’t do anything and probably killed the patient faster… organophosphates are used as nerve agents in chemical warfare, but that doesn’t count as “medicine” either. In any case, the answer is no.
