Diabetes is largely a LIFESTYLE disease. Which can be cured by changing the way you eat, exercise, and how much weight you lose.
Cancer is not. You can't cure it by just eating blueberries. Please GET to reality people.
The standard corporate defense against charges of health damage is the counter-claim that peoples' health problems result from:
1. Diet,
2. Lifestyle, and/or
3. Genetics,
not any chemical, medication, additive or agent that may be named in any charges.
Now, governments and health agencies are saying it too: cancer and other debilitating and disabling chronic diseases result from:
1. Diet,
2. Lifestyle, and/or
3. Genetics,
and everyone with any clout is totally disregarding the effects of micro- and macro-environmental contaminations.
I'd say that is because they have not been proven to work. That was certainly the case with me. When one has to balance out one's urologost and one's oncologist saying "This will cure you" versus some guy on the net with a just freakin' Jim-Dandyo web site...well, my choice was clear. And I stand by it.

That is a valid point, however, I do believe the OP addressed that in his/her introduction with a statement offering apologies to those who's loved ones already have cancer, stating "it might already be too late for them" or something to that effect. I don't believe the OP has stated that cancer patients should disregard their doctor's orders and treat themselves off of the information provided in this post.

Well there is nothing but highly speculative proof that these "elites" want to kill us all. So basing your post on unproven extremely paranoid fringe beliefs I really can't sensibly reply to it.

YES, I know that diabetes and cancer can both be caused by toxins.
...environmental contaminations include food-borne infections, which are recognized as factors in BOTH cancer and diabetes.
Cancer is all toxins and maybe some genetics.
Diabetes can caused by toxins and can also just be caused by being 300 pounds. Hence why a lot of morbidly obese people have diabetes. They eat processed food, don't exercise, and are just generally unhealthy.
Please get back down to reality.

JohnnyCanuck, you cherry-picked from my post and made it sound like I am against conventional methods across the board. That's not what I was saying and I don't believe that's what the OP intended to say by providing this information to everyone in this forum. I clearly stated that I've known people just like you who have survived cancer after being treated with conventional medicine.

Nearly ALL of the diseases of civilization are directly contributed to dietary influences. To be more specific....the westernization of diet through the additions of heavily processed and carbohydrate dense foods.
Chronic diseases are the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. Disease rates from these conditions are accelerating globally, advancing across every region and pervading all socioeconomic classes. The World Health Report 2002 ...indicates that the mortality, morbidity and disability attributed to the major chronic diseases currently account for almost 60% of all deaths and 43% of the global burden of disease. By 2020 their contribution is expected to rise to 73% of all deaths and 60% of the global burden of disease. Moreover, 79% of the deaths attributed to these diseases occur in the developing countries.
The World Health Report 2002: "Reducing Risks, Promoting Healthy Life" - Integrated chronic disease prevention and control
Chronic diseases – such as heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, and arthritis – are among the most common, costly, and preventable of all health problems in the U.S.
Chronic Diseases are the Leading Causes of Death and Disability in the U.S.
* 7 out of 10 deaths among Americans each year are from chronic diseases. Heart disease, cancer and stroke account for more than 50% of all deaths each year.
* In 2005, 133 million Americans – almost 1 out of every 2 adults – had at least one chronic illness.

Some (very few) countries enjoy medical freedom of choice. Which means if a professionally trained medical doctor believes that an intense nutritional approach is the patient's best chance at cancer survival; then they are ALLOWED to administer it if the patient so wishes.
That is completely illegal in the United States and Canada.
