Wii battles breast cancer

Brothers in gaming 4cr found this gem buried in some overall fitness articles about the Wii:
Buried at the bottom of a couple mainstream articles about the Wii is a slightly different take on the whole “fitness” phenomenon. Mary Jane Zamora is a 50 year old woman who was diagnosed with breast cancer in February 2005. After a round of chemotherapy she found herself weakened, too tired to get off the couch. It was then that her daughters brought out the Wii for her to play. Although “exhausting” at first, she was soon playing everyday.
Soon after her recovery she rejoined her bowling league and was deemed its most improved player. “What this game did for me was encourage me that I could still do these kind of things. It came around when I needed it.” Zamora said that the Wii and its games helped her to visualize her new life, after cancer.
Can the Wii help everyone with their fitness/health problems? No. But the fact that it’s doing something where once there was nothing is pretty amazing.

Well, there goes the statement I made a few months ago in a comment that “Wii won’t cure cancer”!

Cancer isent hard to cure and it has been cured many times in the past. All the cures have been squashed and covered up by the fda to protect the profits of the American cancer society. Cancer can be cured by alot of simple things suprisingly like eating a diet of “apercot and apple seeds” “healthy organic diet” “Hyper oxygenation thearpy” and maney other things. Dont be a fool and fall into the money corruption of the amarican medical society they havent released a cure for a desease for 50 years onley expensive treatments for them. You know why?. Its because cures are to cheap and theyed rather make people suffer so they can make more money because thats all they care about.
go do some research if you dont beleive me . Go get the first natural cures book they sell on tv it exposes everything.
The truth is Natural cures can cure virtually every disease what the fda dousent want you to know.

I think there is a degree of truth to what Hunter is saying; a pretty good degree. Alas this is a gaming forum, so I will leave it there.

This is a really nice story. I hope she is still doing well.
