Rich, this is in ref to your close female friend who died from a
certain type of cancer.

I was reading an article where another female had the same type
of cancer. But she stopped consuming diary and grain products.
Her cancer just disappeared.

Also, the former First Lady, Jackie Kennedy, died from this type
of cancer. But she was a "secret" smoker for years.

So, maybe following a good healthy life style really matters.

While there is plenty of evidence from well-designed clinical trials
that diet can indeed influence your susceptibility to developing cancer,
there is no evidence of anywhere near comparable quality that dietary
manipulations can be used to treat cancer once it has already become
clinically apparent. Anecdotal evidence proves nothing, particularly
when there is no way of verifying whether the anecdote is even true or
whether it is just another exaggerated (or even made-up) claim.

What nutritional approach did she go for?

Sorry about your friend Rich - cancer is a horrible thing.
You have my condolences.

Thanx. This happened many years ago. My friend was diagnosed with
early stage Hodgkin's Lymphoma and rejected conventional treatment in
favor of some nutritional approach. Delay in treatment resulted in the
disease progressing to the point where it could not be treated
adequately by conventional means. Studies indicate that with
conventional treatment the prognosis would have been excellent. Delay
in treatment resulted in her demise IMO.

You see early treatment may be critical in certain conditions.
Alternative approaches CAN cause great harm if they delay effective
treatment especially in cases of treatable cancers.

Aloha,

Rich
