The death is caused by the toxicity and/or mainstream cancer treatment, not the cancer.
But a tumor can cause death if it's blocking a major organ.

I believe that cancer, the physical disease, cannot occur unless there is a strong undercurrent of emotional uneasiness and deep-seated frustration.
Is he aware of neonatal cancer?

I believe the track record on chemo is abysmal.

If it really worked surely they would take that responsibility wouldn't they?

I'm sorry, but cancer runs in my family and it's almost a given that, one day, I will be fighting that battle so, yeah, I'll take my chances with the chemo and radiation, long before I resort to the "natural cure". I've seen "positive" people die just as quick as those who had given up. Mood may have an impact, but "thinking positive" is just not going to do it. You can defend this guy all you like, but [ God forbid ] you are diagnosed with cancer, what will you do?
Read all the books you like, but if you do get sick and look to this guy for a cure....... read fast.
Summary
Neonatal cancer is rare and comprises a heterogeneous group of neoplasms with substantial histological diversity. Almost all types of paediatric cancer can occur in fetuses and neonates; however, the presentation and behaviour of neonatal tumours often differs from that in older children, leading to differences in diagnosis and management. The causes of neonatal cancer are unclear, but genetic factors probably have a key role. Other congenital abnormalities are frequently present. Teratoma and neuroblastoma are the most common histological types of neonatal cancer, with soft-tissue sarcoma, leukaemia, renal tumours, and brain tumours also among the more frequent types. Prenatal detection, most often on routine ultrasound or in the context of a known predisposition syndrome, is becoming more common. Treatment options pose challenges because of the particular vulnerability of the population. Neonatal cancer raises diagnostic, therapeutic, and ethical issues, and management requires a multidisciplinary approach.

No, it's the treatment that can kill them instead of remove the cause of the cancer.

The cause of skin cancer is the sun, how do you remove the sun?

Ever read some of the release forms used by doctors, surgeons, and hospitals? If it really worked surely they would take that responsibility wouldn't they?

I'm sorry to hear that.
If I can give you one advice based on something that is recognized by science today and that is studied as another strategy to fight (and maybe heal?) cancer:
Keep you sugar (simple and complex) consumption to a minimum. Cut it if you can. Not only excess of sugar is a big factor in developing some cancers, but furthermore when the tumor starts, it will grow by consuming large amount sugar.
Without any sugar to feed it, the tumor cannot grow. It might not be (yet) sufficient to kill it, but at least starving the tumor will slow its growth. At least it will buy you time.
