I also see so many sad cases and so many people taking on sponsors to raise money for things like cancer research, its hard to understand how this can carry on and why people seem so blinded by it.
It is appalling, isn't it?

But how better to pacify people's worries than keep them busy raising money for research that palliates rather than cures? And throw them a bone with a few easy cancer cures that keep them hoping... and spending on research: "We're making progress!!!"

Five years ago, my 82 yo mother was diagnosed with lymphoma, one of the more easily treated cancers. She was "cured"... but not after spending a major fortune for the treatments. However, if I hadn't told her to change her diet to LC, would she still be here today???

I'm betting not.
