The best cancer-fighting foods

More MSM crap.

The subtitle of this piece is "A doctor with a malignant tumor changes his diet to stave off his disease" and this guy has a book to sell that came out about two months ago.

"I was diagnosed with brain cancer about 16 years ago. I received chemotherapy and went into remission, but the cancer came back and I endured two surgeries and 13 months of chemotherapy. I asked my oncologist if I ought to change my diet to avoid another recurrence. His answer was perfectly stereotypical: 'Eat what you like. It won't make much difference.'

He was wrong."

Maybe, maybe not.

But this brain tumor guy not only offers no proof, he actually supports an opposite conclusion.

"I've kept cancer at bay for 8 years now, and I attribute my survival largely to the changes I've made in my diet and lifestyle. I exercise and meditate more and eat wholesome anticancer foods on a daily basis. Still, the medical establishment is slow to embrace this approach."

So let's do the math.

He was diagnosed "about 16 years ago." His cancer, it is claimed, recurred. He was surgerized and had chemo and has now been "cancer-free" for "8 years."

This means that the first surgery, apparently without nutritional voodoo, worked for as long as his current approach has.

Also, this guy gives no credit to the effects of the subsequent surgeries and chemo, instead choosing to credit his "survival largely to the changes I've made in my diet and lifestyle."

This is unknowable.

Those of you who are familiar with Fitness Watch know that the last thing I am is a cheerleader for Big Sick Care.

I am also not a cheerleader for voodoo.

The MSM pollutes the airwaves and cyberspace with spew designed to capture our attention.

Sensational, works. Truth, does not.

The very fact that this drivel is entitled, "The best cancer-fighting foods" is a testament to this.

The takeaway lesson is to eschew the MSM because your well-being isn't even an afterthought.

It is ignored completely.
