No physician or scientist who studies cancer will agree with this advice. "Biohackers" and other frauds posting online do not count as "experts." You can't "starve out" cancer. Reducing carb intake will not help. No "immune boosters" will help. My uncle died from treatable cancer because he followed earnest but terribly wrong advice like this.

Cancer is not one disease. It's not a problem with too many carbs or not enough stretching. To simplify and mislead people like this trivializes a serious and potentially fatal condition.

I would have loved to know what I know now when my father had leucemia. He did everything the doctors told him to, but died a very ugly, painful death. I fucking hold his hand when he died so FU.

He was eating and acting wrongly and was in the wrong state of mind - last one I knew and tried multiple times to get out of it, but he did not listen.

You understand nothing about biology and are not even able to quickly search scholar.

Every fucking expert on sugar will tell you that this stuff is unhealty. I wrote multiple times, it depends on the cancer.

And I never said he should avoid regular treatment.
