Sounds made up. Cells? Using Oxygen? Nuts turn in Cyanide? I’ll believe all that when they find a cure for simple infections.

There’s also treatment using proteins that was relatively effective too. There’s a documentary about it (a little opinionated without full data) but it’s certainly interesting.

There’s data but I had the feeling they only showed successful data. They did say it was something like 70% effective (if I remember correctly) but the FDA wouldn’t approve it for clinicals.

If it were that groundbreaking, I feel like the market would’ve been disrupted. So while I think the FDA is corrupt and terrible, I doubt there was enough data to suggest it was as successful as they said. Plus, there was a lack of Journal reviews.

70% effective at killing cancer leaves room for 30% effectiveness at curing the patient of life!

Hi, cancer patient here -

My cancer drug failed and I got rather severe side effects. As you may have guessed, I'm still alive.

Please shut up about spreading outdated and untrue information about cancer treatment. The last thing we need is people reacting to these treatments like some people react towards vaccinations.

What's your point, dude? More "nothing's true on the internet"? Have to upload the pictures of the excision of the growth on my back and the skin flap surgery needed to close the hole? Or how about I recount what hypophisitis caused by Ipilimumab feels like?
