i don't think anybody will argue that a healthy lifestyle decreases cancer risks. But once I have it, I will be seeing a traditional doctor.
You're missing the point.
Of course that is true, what you said.
The point is - we throw unprecedented amounts of money at 'finding a cure' for something while ignoring as a collective culture what is causing the influx in the disease.
The cancer industry is something like a 200 billion dollar gig, with all kinds of secondary and tertiary financial benefits to the health care industry.
There are all kinds of things that we know, scientifically, kill cancer cells yet these things are not made mainstream and not offered to patients by doctors because it does not financially feed the industry. I'm not obligated to share, link, or prove what I just said.. anyone that cares can choose to do their own homework.

Who is ignoring it? Certainly not doctors and researchers. Doctors plead and beg with their patients to make healthy lifestyle changes, but we cant force people to do it. We know eating right, exercising and reducing stress reduce the incidence of disease.

Because when people inevitably get cancer, they want effective treatment. Cancer cells dont care how much herbal tea you drink.

This is, at best, a misleading statement and at worst an outright lie.
No, there are no scientifically proven compounds that outright kill cancer and that are tolerated well enough by the body to be effective treatment options that we know of that are not heavily researched and utilized. Now if you want to get into one of your wild conspiracy theories about big pharm then I cant possibly convince you otherwise.
There ARE relatively common compounds for which either anecdotal or minimal research shows promise in aiding cancer treatment. That being said, the drugs we have are by far the most effective treatment options at present
