The reason that I posted what I did, has to do with the whole "ulcer" thing from a few years back.

Some poor guy discovered that most ulcers are caused by a bacteria. Proved it, was screaming it from the rooftops, and was completely ignored.

He thought "outside of the box" (I really hate that term, but it is applicable).

The medical establishment, kicking and screaming the entire time, finally had to acknowledge him.

Who knows? Cancer might be caused by a bacteria, fungus, or virus and easily treated while the indoctrinated concentrate on variations of chemo and other lethal treatments. They tend to look at the minutiae of cellular biology, thinking it's the cause and not the effect.

FWIW, I'm in no way an alternative therapy type; I just think they've turned their heads in the wrong direction.

Pay them to figure it out; and they will. They ALWAYS DO.

Great point!!!!

The same was true of scurvvy two hundred years ago. It was thought scurvvy was an std (sailors mainly got it and we all know about sailors). A doctor proved it was the lack of Vit C but was laughed at.

The scurvvy/std myth lasted until as late as 1920 (there are medical magazine articles arguing the issue from that date).

Myth have a life of their own.
