I find the cancer talk questions down below both interesting and informative. There are a lot of you who have either suffered through your own cancer struggle or have close loved ones who have. I appreciate the thoughts from all of you and happy for the success stories. I celebrate your success stories and feel bad for the ones who did not turn out well.

I will pose another controversial question. What if some of these wacky alternative treatments are actually successful? What if 5 years from now it is scientifically determined that they sometimes work. Would you feel bad you had not tried them?

Lets talk about successful treatment. Successful treatment when it comes to cancer usually revolves around "lifespan extension" often measured in months or years depending on the type and severity of cancer. No cancer treatment is 100% successful. Are these alternative treatments 100% successful? I would say of course not. I would say if they were 10% successful that would be wildly successful. If they only worked in 10% of the cases think how many lives would be extended out of the millions that get cancer. But I am just speculating. I have not had nor have any cancer that I am aware of. But being diabetic for 40 years makes me more susceptible than a more healthy person so cancer is an area of interest and on my "radar".

With all that blather said, here is a short article (from an unreliable source many would say) about an alternative treatment for cancer. Most of you will not bother to read it. But what if it proves out to have some truth to it? I will ask the question again. Will you feel bad about not trying it? Or do we just continue on with our own confirmation bias (which I am definitely guilty of) and ignore any "new" information? Is current cancer treatment all there is ever going to be? Are there "never" going to be advances or new findings? That would kind of suck if it were true. So when new findings do come out will our doctors ignore them and stay with the "tried and true" current treatments or adopt the new stuff (even though it might make their entire medical education and life work null and void?).

I know. Controversial thoughts. We as humans like to avoid controversy. I am not by any means against conventional cancer treatment. Many of you have success stories and if I ever have the diagnosis of cancer will definitely evaluate all my options both conventional as well as alternative or experimental treatments.

Disclaimer: Anyone who chooses to do something because "John Burns said" is a complete fool. I have made tens of thousands and probably millions of mistakes in my 71+ years of life. And probably a lot more than that because I have forgotten most of them. Everyone has to do their own due diligence and make their own choices. And live the consequences. 

With all that blather said, here is the short article from the unreliable source for those interested. Those of you so good at it, go ahead mock the source without even mentioning the content of the subject or if the subject content even has any merit to consider.
