One of my friends told me that when he was in high school, some of the classrooms had posters with pictures of different fruits & vegetables, with the admonition to eat lots of them because they prevent cancer. These were fruits & veggies with high levels of Vitamin C. So shouldn't the preventative also cure?

I've since learned that one Linus Pauling, a Nobel Prize winning scientist of sterling reputation, cured terminal cancer patients with little more than large doses of Vitamin C. I don't know if it's true or not, but if it is, it's unlikely too many doctors would make their Porsche payments curing cancer patients with it!

Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation are expensive, and make lots of money for lots of people. They also add heavily to the emotional burden of the very word "cancer." It needn't be so. Even today we must question the conventional wisdom of the medical priesthood, just as we always have. As one example, the Royal Navy had the knowledge of how to prevent scurvy for 200 years before they implemented it.

I had a great-aunt who was told by two different doctors that she had 3-6 months to live, and that there was nothing they could do. (This was decades ago.) She went to another doc who gave her a shot, and a diet to follow. She died of old age, over 30 years later, in her late 80's.

I post this not to create a firestorm, but in the hopes that anyone here who is faced with, or has a loved one faced with, the dread -- but very curable -- cancer, will do some homework before committing to conventional therapies that, to this day, have a piss-poor track record while generally causing more harm than good.
