Steve Jobs died from alternative medicine

A cancer expert from Harvard believes that the form of cancer suffered by Steve Jobs did not have to be fatal.

Ramzi Amri, a Harvard medical school researcher, said, “Jobs allegedly chose to undergo all sorts of alternative treatment before turning to conventional medicine.

Gawker reports that Amri said that even during the period of his illness when Jobs was losing weight, Jobs devoted his time to Apple instead of receiving chemotherapy or other conventional treatments.

According to Mail Online, for nine months between Jobs’ diagnosis with pancreatic cancer between 2003 and around July 2004, Jobs tried to avoid an operation through a special diet. But the cancer’s rapid spreading caused Jobs to have an operation for the removal of his pancreas and duodenum.

It is uncertain what diet Jobs may have been using, but he was known to eat fish and follow a vegetarian diet. People with pancreatic disease often have problems digesting fat. Alternative treatments that may relieve symptoms include acupuncture and herbal supplements. But there is no medical evidence suggesting these could help to fight the disease.

Amri posted his ideas on Quora, a popular forum in Silicon Valley. He posted on the site that leaving even the most innocent malign tumor to grow is foolish — a ticking time bomb.

pathetic, pathetic,,,,,, he died of cancer,,,, cancer with a 4% cure rate,,,,,,,,,although by medical standards steve jobs was cured,,, if you live 5 years from diagnosis you are counted as cured,,,,,,,,, stupid!!!! and pads the cancer success rate since we often have earlier diagnosis

in a recent australian study of 150,000 US cases ,,conventional medicine had a 4% success/cure rate and only because success treating leukemia and colon cancer boosted those percentages.
canadian study 86% of oncologists would NOT do chemo if they had cancer,,,, yet everyday they do it to others

chemo kills everything good and bad,,,,,it's like throwing napalm on the lawn because there's a few weeds and you hope just the grass will come back and not the weeds

also,,,, studies have shown many who do nothing lived longer than those who did chemo/radiation
I could write 3 pages of facts exposing the hypocrisy and double speak of big pharma and the ama, cancer society

watch the burzynski movie or gershon miracle just to see how mainstream medicine behaves,,, regardless if alternatives work or not

I agree that this headline is extremely irresponsible. My husband had the aggressive kind of pancreatic cancer and conventional medicine gave him a prognosis of six months, but alternative medicine helped him live two years beyond that prognosis.

Absolutely the most ridiculous and irresponsible headline I've ever read. You should be ashamed of yourself Bob Holt.
