I said that proper nutrition cures disease. That means eating real food, like greens that are grown organically, and meat that was grass fed, and not given synthetic hormones, and raw whole dairy products that still contain the natural organisms and enzymes to digest them.

Hey, proper nutrition is great. So is exercise and environmental health. I'll even agree that organic is probably better, although, irrelevantly, it's often prohibitively expensive, and the market is growing enough that it may soon be watered-down into meaninglessness by the agriculture industry.

There's where we agree. I go to a doctor when my toe agonizingly swells up with infection, and if my child was diagnosed with early-term, treatable cancer I'd ask a medical doctor to go ahead and cure him, but let's focus on the positives!

(Sidetrack: I once worked a Summer job for an "organic" stonefruit farm. It made me realize that the hefty inflated prices of organics are not always invented from whole cloth; we lost approximately 20% of our peach crop to brown rot, a fungus eliminated by "non-organic" fungicides. It sure seemed like a big waste. The remaining fruit was great, regardless.)

" I go to a doctor when my toe agonizingly swells up with infection"

I get out the jar of mentholatum when my toe is infected, and rub a finger-full on. Usually it is ok within 4 or 5 hours. If that isn't enough, I have a bottle of oregano oil (carvacrol) that is a 20% solution in olive oil, and that has never failed on any infection that I or my family has encountered, including staph, strep throat, fungal infections, and ear infections. These were hard learned lessons; we once were foolish enough to use antibiotics, but we have learned our lessons well.
