RE: The Cure for Cancer

in #fiction7 years ago (edited)

Are you a professional nutritionist with many years of scientific study evaluating the pathology of disease and cancer? Of course what we put into our bodies can prevent and treat cancer. Just as how interaction with chemicals and certain compounds can cause cancer, one can eat certain foods and ensure the right nutrients are available which govern cellular repair processes. While medical treatment has it's place in the treatment of cancer, so too does proper nutrition. Just because some of the proponents say crazy stuff about yoga and organic food doesn't mean they aren't sometimes right in their assessments. Even if it's beneficial for different reasons than they suspect. They don't have information and neither do you. Go learned yourself on polyamines , autophagy, and prostaglandins and then try to knock the importance of nutrition

Sort:  

No evidence has been shown to demonstrate that you can treat an already existing cancer by simply changing your diet. The burden of proof is completely on you to demonstrate that it does. Until then, I don't need to have any credentials to dismiss your claims. What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

PS: I'm not at all saying that what you eat is not of massive importance to your health. It is. But suggesting that you can treat cancer by stopping to eat sugar is an extraordinary claim, that requires extraordinary evidence.

I would never make such a claim as avoiding sugar cures cancer. I disagree though in that you can neither dismiss nor accept. To do otherwise is an injustice. One which is consistantly made. Give me a cancer patient and I would gladly treat them nutritionally to see if we can change your mind
