You’re gonna have to do your own searching. Lots of stories of people that have had success.

It is shocking how people here are willing to let millions die rather than consider any alternatives

You're the person who made the claim, which means you can provide the evidence to support it.

That’s garbage you found on the Internet that simply isn’t true.

Dr William Makis isn’t an oncologist either. He seems to be a radiologist. And this isn’t his only conspiracy theory.

There are, however, real studies. Perhaps it will be used in the future with other drugs.

So, no. You can’t.

God I despise it when people do this.

Ah yes, "do your own research."
We did! When my oncologist team at UCSC declared my liver mets inoperable, we researched our way to a different group (at Sloan-Kettering) that had success with 75% liver resections and then the two groups worked together. So there is some do your own research that could be valuable - but it’s more along the lines of a second opinion, and there is no magic.
