I agree with what you've written above. Maybe I'm just too much of a sceptic, but I've tried to break down all these arguments about how becoming fitter, eating this or that, (or not eating this or that), swallowing this supplement or that nostrum or potion, will cure you of cancer. Oxygen therapy, hyperbaric chambers, ringing bells or sitting in a circle singing "Khumbaya" are not going to kill cancer. They may make you 'feel' better in some way, but I'm of the opinion that the placebo effect plays a rather large role in this. When I was at school, kids were allowed to take whatever they wanted in their lunchboxes for break time. Many times, bigger and more aggressive kids took sweets and treats from younger kids. What's to stop cancer cells in our bodies from doing the same? All these (very expensive) goodies which are supposed to make our healthy cells stronger, and thus kill the cancer, would just as easily be snatched up by the cancer bullies and make THEM stronger. I'll bet they (metaphorically speaking), rub their hands together and thank the person for providing them with even more high octane fuel to grow even faster....but whatever floats your boat, I suppose. We all have to live (or die) with our choices, but at the end of the day, the Cosmic Clowns have the last word.
