.. I recommend to all reading this to check a doctor-author named Gerson who had some ideas of the type of diet that could best be used to treat and even cure cancer.

However, that's a quality of life issue, not a belief that random claims by internet quacks are more effective than medicine at curing cancer.

You also have to take into account that some chemo and radiation is done for palliative purposes. Just because you are terminal, doesn't mean it can't improve your quality of life. I'm not implying that you don't know that, but just wanted to clarify.

Also, that chemo which is a poison that indiscriminately can kill both bad and good cells and which has been proven to weaken immune system is not a very effective treatment especially long-term. I just post this so we can all give our opinion about Cancer especially here in the US. Like many trends I think this one is trending in a bad way. Oh well something is gonna get us all sooner or later

Roundup ready corn and soy are routinely dowsed with Roundup to kill off any weeds that may have infested the plantings. The fact that evolution is creating super weeds that are no longer killed by Roundup is a familiar story but it is not the subject of Sempsel and Seneff’s paper. Instead they describe ways in which exposure to glyphosate can contribute to Obesity, Autism, Alzheimer’s disease , Parkinson’s disease, and digestive issues to name just a few of the diseases that have seen epidemic increase in the years since GMOs were introduced. How is it possible that glyphosate might be the causative agent in these epidemics when since its introduction it has been touted as safe?

Twerp, twerp, twerp.Cancer Listeni/ˈkænsər/, also known as a malignant tumor or malignant neoplasm, is a group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body.[1][2]
Most cancers and especially tumors are complex organs (or functions) that hijack our bodies nutrition and defense systems. A damaged RNA/DNA is non-functional RNA/DNA, incapable of carrying out its program. It is ridiculous to generalize re glyphosate this way. I would be disappointed if the the hysteria in this post is typical of your other political opinions.
