The following helpful questions are found on pages 163-164\u00a0of\u00a0Lorene Benoit’s book:\u00a0The Paw Paw Program – A “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer – The World IS Round and Cancer CAN Be Treated Naturally<\/a>, <\/em><\/strong>2nd Edition<\/em>. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

They can be and should be asked for any treatment options, no matter what your health condition is.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Some questions to ask your doctor when a drug, protocol, diagnostic test, explorative surgery, or any medical treatment is recommended.<\/p>\n

Please remember the doctor and any treatment recommended is paid by you, indirectly, via taxes; annually at least $3800 per man, woman and child in Canada. This is not including any MSP fees, prescription or other costs paid by you directly. Therefore, as you are paying the doctor, or in effect hiring him or her, you do have the right to know what you need to know to make an educated decision. Think if you were hiring a contractor to do renovations on your house \u2013 you would want the details, you would want to know that the person you hire is best suited for the job, that they would be familiar with your needs, know how to use their tools \u2013 you get the picture.
\nWouldn\u2019t you do the same for your car by making sure the mechanic is qualified, not doing anything to your car that is not necessary, and knows what needs to be fixed? Expect the same treatment for your body as you would for your house or your car.
\nOf course, our body is more complex than either a house or a car, but understand those treatments to which you agree and understand your options.<\/p>\n

By taking this drug, following this treatment, having this surgery, following this recommendation\u2026.<\/p>\n

What is the expected outcome?<\/p>\n

How or why does it work? (ask for explanation in terms that you understand)<\/p>\n

Can you tell me and\/or give me a list of all possible side effects, to decide if the possible benefit outweighs the risks? Pharmacists will give you a small write-up for drugs; if you want more detail ask for the information from the CPS (Compendium Pharmaceutical & Specialties).<\/p>\n

What are the percentages for side effects, re-occurrence, adhesions, damage from treatment, cure rate, life extension, etc.<\/p>\n

Have you personally used it with other patients? What has been their response, incidence of side effects, increased life span, quality of life\u2026..?<\/p>\n

How long has this been approved and how long used?<\/p>\n

Can you refer me to any studies that prove the effectiveness of this treatment option?<\/p>\n

For what period of time will I be taking this drug, or following this treatment?
\nWhat is the likelihood that this will necessitate me taking other drugs or treatments to counteract side effects or enhance perceived benefit of treatments?<\/p>\n

How will you determine if it is effective?<\/p>\n

What is expected outcome if I do not choose this treatment option?<\/p>\n

Do you mind if I do some research before I choose this route?<\/p>\n
