Positive research, progress being made. We all wish that the breakthroughs would come quicker and easier, but the sheer complications around how many cancers there are and how they work preclude that.
Can only hope that the researchers make more progress and maybe there's a few inspired jump forward events.Comment

There are loads of cases of it helping people, and I am fortunate enough to know and be able to ratify one of those cases as being genuine. Regardless of what alternative therapies Steve Jobs took, it doesn't debunk it all now does it.
I also think Steve Jobs had an extremely aggressive form of pancreatic cancer and did well to last as long as he did, probably because of the top notch care he was receiving, in no small part to his enormous wealth I'm sure.Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment

Eat healthily by all means - the chances are you'll live longer than with a crap diet. But there are no guarantees and stories of people beating cancer through diet, homeoepathy, crystals, chiropracy etc. are so much horsetulip.
Your body cures itself of cancer all the time. It's the way it works. It's only when that mechanism fails for some reason that what we call cancer develops. Even then, sometimes the immune system causes cancer to go away all by itself.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

I really was only trying to help. As I said before, my friends mum chose not to take the chemo route, and believes that her method was what cured her.

Most are sceptical about such miracle cures - many, many desperate people try them and a small number get better. Most don't. Think about the same argument with prayer - "I prayed and God made me better." Some believe it to be true, many will give it a try, most won't get better.Comment

I do my best to eat healthy but the nature of my cancer means that screwing up my digestion is the main symptom, so my diet is really geared around what I can ingest and digest. Tomatoes, for example, **** me up a treat.
Getting enough protein in is a bit of a problem also, as I don't actually process it very well, so I have to eat a bit extra. So I have a lot of eggs, fish and white meat, but I struggle with huge gobs of red meat. Two months ago I'd eat packets of sliced roast beef from the supermarket as a snack.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

Understandable.
It can be a bugger to eat right when just a bit poorly, with stomach cancer and chemo it must be a real bitch just to eat at all.
Suity, people are taking a pop at you because your forum persona is that of a clueless tw@t, you're re-enforcing that view by repeatedly trying to wobble on with some homespun smartarse solution that you feel is amazing, but people doubt is anything more than an old wives tale.
In the context of what's a genuinely life threatening situation for doodab you repeating it is just amplifying your tw@t image to astounding levels.Comment

The trouble here is that we are all touched by cancer. Directly or indirectly. So if someone pops up with a cure that lacks any proof, logic, scientific validity or context they will be challenged.Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment
