"With much of her lower body consumed by cancer, Leslee Flasch finally faced the truth: The herbal supplements and special diet were not working.
'I want this thing cut out from me. I want it out,' she told her family.
But it was too late. Her rectal cancer — potentially curable earlier on — had invaded bones, tissue, muscle, skin. The 53-year-old Florida woman could barely sit, and constantly bled and soiled herself.
'It was terrible,' one doctor said. 'The pain must have been excruciating.'
Flasch had sought a natural cure. Instead, a deadly disease ran its natural course. And the herb peddlers who sold her hope in a bottle?
'Whatever money she had left in life, they got most of it,' said a sister, Sharon Flasch. 'They prey on the sick public with the belief that this stuff can help them, whether they can or can't.'"
