Suzanne Somers recently made some controversial comments alleging the chemotherapy Patrick Swayze used to treat his pancreatic cancer was the ultimate cause of his demise. Now the late actor’s pal Whoopi Goldberg is firing back.
As you may recall, Suzanne famously told the National Post that “they took this beautiful man and they basically put poison in him. Why couldn’t they have built him up nutritionally and gotten rid of the toxins in his body?”
Though she later apologized for her untimely statement, that hasn’t stopped Whoopi from taking Suzanne to task over her remarks.
“In case she doesn’t know, Patrick did everything and went everywhere to try and stay healthy as long as he could,” The View co-host said of her Ghost co-star on Wednesday. “That he’s been gone a week and this statement came out is bad timing and bad taste and Suzanne, you know better. And I’m not sure that’s not what you meant to do, but you should have thought about it.”

Jesus, warn us before you spring that face on us.
Whooppee needs to mind her own bizness, she is just stirring up shiite to get her herself publicity, you see the ratings are low for the “ONE SIDED VIEW”.
I’m on Whoopi’s side here. Suzanne should have kept this to herself. Whoopi was close friends with Patrick and Lisa, so I can see her point saying what she said. AND she said it a lot more tactful than I would have that’s for certain!
Whoopi’s right. Suzanne needs to shut the fuck up and keep her asinine opinions to herself.
Whoopi gets on her high horse a lot and likes to be right, but I think in this case she is. It’s just rude and ignorant for Suzanne to be making heartless comments like that. Patrick did all he could to survive and to judge him for his decisions is very wrong.
I’m sorry but some wounds aren’t worth protecting. Somers truly believes this could save people’s lives. Would you just sit around, till an appropriate time came around if you could save just one life? It’s not an attack on him personally - it’s her attempt at helping others who may be in a similar situation. whether she’s right on her assessment, no on knows…just yet…:D
i dont agree with anything suznne somers says but i cant stand whoopie and the way she thinks shes right about everything and everyone has to agree with her, the way she looked at the camera and said :im sure you didnt mean it…” ugh
Suzanne has forgotten more about medical issues than the supremely ignorant Whoopie will ever know if she lives to be 200. Suzanne was correct to comment when and as she did for the benefit of the great majority of Patrick’s fans who should know about the abject failure of our multi-billion dollar cancer business which murders over 500,000 victims yearly. Best to get the information out while the subject is hot–like now!
She was correct in stating that chemo and radiation kill most cancer victims and that they are both poisons. This is common knowledge.
Patrick’s only hope was in going to Rome to be treated by Dr. Tulio Simoncini who has been curing almost all comers of cancer for over thirty years. I tried to reach him with that wonderful information but someone must have talked him out of making the trip.
I liked Patrick because we were both Texans and both Hollywood actors and dancers. I hope he had his passport to heaven (Luke 9:23f) validated before his departure date as I suggested to him. The consequences of his not having done so are unthinkable.
What worked for Suzanne may not have done so for another person. It depends on the cancer, and the treatments available for it. Pancreatic cancer isn’t the same as breast cancer. The fact that Patrick lived as long as he did, is a testimony to the fight he put up to live. For someone to publicly say he didn’t do this right or that right isn’t fair. She doesn’t know what he did or didn’t do in the way of treatments. She is on her high horse right now trying to sell her books and lifestyle.
R.I.P. Patrick swayze.
maybe she said it the wrong way, but there is a lot of evidence that’s suppressed by the gov’t/media/pharm complex that suggests there’s plenty of natural cures out there to help our nutrient-depleted bodies.
