It also recently recirculated in French-speaking African countries. But experts told AFP there is no scientific evidence to support the claim. "EATING FRUIT ON AN EMPTY STOMACH," reads this Indonesian-language Facebook post published on November 26, 2021.

"Dr STEPHEN MAK treats terminal cancer patients in a unique way. Many of the patients recovered. 'This is my strategy to cure cancer. The success rate is 80 percent,' said Mak."

I’ve never heard this claim before, but now knowing what the “experts” say, I intend to believe the opposite.

Not a cure but mega doses of vit C might do some good.

Exactly. Cancer requires sugar to flourish, and fruit is chockful of sugar.

I guessing that not eating at all for two or three days a week is a better idea — it puts your cells in to autophagy (sort of a spring cleaning for cells).

Not sure how autophagy would work once you have cancer.

If that doesn’t work they could try three jumping jacks while screaming “yellow jelly beans!” as loud as they can.

Only chemo and radiation can cure cancer. If anything else is suggested, the experts are on the scene.

People in California need to be told not to eat anything that is not food. Did you know that hammers contain cobalt, which is known to cause cancer in California. Everything, and I mean everything, has these sort of labels.
