Interesting hoax message going around about cancer

What's sad is, I've seen this posted by 2 RNs that I know.

I have a coworker who was diagnosed with cancer. She opted out of traditional treatment and started a radical diet and lifestyle change instead. A month later, she was declared cancer free.

Anecdotal, I know, but still very real and will make me consider the same if I ever diagnosed.

Seeing this pop up over and over again on FB. Sad that people can fall for crap like this so easily:

Started reading your link but stopped because I've read many articles about the diet/disease relationship. Traditional medicine recognizes the high fat/cholesterol diet to cause atherosclerosis but tend to dismiss any hard connection to diet and cancer short of ingesting radioactive material or grilling meat.

If you have not checked out Dr Campbell Mcbride do so. She has some interesting ideas and observations on diet and disease. The Dr has practiced neurology and has been a neurosurgeon so I would not say she is your typical quack. Anyway I know you're highly educated but to dismiss alternative approaches to preventing and curing disease may be a mistake, you have to believe there is some connection to lifestyle/diet to all the chronic diseases we are treating now

seems like good advice to live a healthy lifestyle and hopefully decrease chances of cancer.

If I get cancer will still be headed to the doctor though.

This sounds exactly like that one quack woman who touted a starvation diet to cure all ills and then took control of her dying patients finances.
