I’ve already decided that when I get cancer I’m just going to stop eating. I have more faith in fasting killing the cancer than chemo or radiation.

A 2015 study
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4706056/
"A meta-analysis was performed of reported CR from 68 chemotherapy trials (total 2732 patients) using standard agents across late-stage solid cancers—a binomial model with random effects was adopted. Mean CR rates were compared for different cancer types, and for chemotherapeutic agents with different mechanisms of action, using a logistic regression. Our results showed that the CR rates for chemotherapy treatment of late-stage cancer were generally low at 7.4%, regardless of the cancer type or drug regimen used. We found no evidence that CR rates differed between different chemotherapy drug types, but amongst different cancer types small CR differences were evident, although none exceeded a mean CR rate of 11%."


Another study concerning colon cancer after surgery whether they should get chemotherapy or not

https://ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/JCO.2004.05.063
"A literature-based meta-analysis found no evidence of a statistically significant survival benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy for stage II patients."

Interestingly there was a study that looked at the effect of using supplements during chemotherapy and how it affected outcomes and those who used antioxidants were in vitamin B12 and or iron all had a higher chance of reoccurrence and a decreased chance of survival.




https://ascopubs.org/doi/abs/10.1200/jco.19.01203

"Results
There were indications that use of any antioxidant supplement (vitamins A, C, and E; carotenoids; coenzyme Q10) both before and during treatment was associated with an increased hazard of recurrence (adjusted hazard ratio [adjHR], 1.41; 95% CI, 0.98 to 2.04; P = .06) and, to a lesser extent, death (adjHR, 1.40; 95% CI, 0.90 to 2.18; P = .14). Relationships with individual antioxidants were weaker perhaps because of small numbers. For nonantioxidants, vitamin B12 use both before and during chemotherapy was significantly associated with poorer disease-free survival (adjHR, 1.83; 95% CI, 1.15 to 2.92; P < .01) and overall survival (adjHR, 2.04; 95% CI, 1.22 to 3.40; P < .01). Use of iron during chemotherapy was significantly associated with recurrence (adjHR, 1.79; 95% CI, 1.20 to 2.67; P < .01) as was use both before and during treatment (adjHR, 1.91; 95% CI, 0.98 to 3.70; P = .06). Results were similar for overall survival. Multivitamin use was not associated with survival outcomes."


On the other hand a study of vitamin d showed it was very effective or at least associated with much less lethal versions of cancer

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3107752/

"Men whose tumors had high VDR expression had significantly lower prostate-specific antigen (PSA) at diagnosis (P for trend < .001), lower Gleason score (P for trend < .001), and less advanced tumor stage (P for trend < .001) and were more likely to have tumors harboring the TMPRSS2:ERG fusion (P for trend = .009). Compared with the lowest quartile, men whose tumors had the highest VDR expression had significantly reduced risk of lethal prostate cancer (hazard ratio [HR], 0.17; 95% CI, 0.07 to 0.41). This association was only slightly attenuated after adjustment for Gleason score and PSA at diagnosis (HR, 0.33; 95% CI, 0.13 to 0.83) or, additionally, for tumor stage (HR, 0.37; 95% CI, 0.14 to 0.94). Neither prediagnostic plasma vitamin D levels nor VDR polymorphisms were associated with VDR expression.

Conclusion
High VDR expression in prostate tumors is associated with a reduced risk of lethal cancer, suggesting a role of the vitamin D pathway in prostate cancer progression."


Then again the most effective thing I have seen along with vitamin d is
Insitol hexaphosphate

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/?term=Inositol+Hexaphosphate

Which you can buy along with vitamin d on Amazon for about $30-40 .

I regularly do many of the suggested alternative cancer treatments when I don't have cancer. That way if I do get cancer I know those fucking things didn't work and they didn't kill the little cancer cells in my body before they spread.


These include fasting fenbendazol and a couple of others.

Once a year I do a course of them.

I have always beeluced that perhaps chemo doesn't work.

I was looking for some testing either way.

Got any info?

The success of cancer treatment is from the forced fasting. Chemo ruins appetite. During that time while the patient is rapidly losing weight their immune system attacks the cancer.

Ah yes, another internet doctor with another made up scenario.

This guy does not understand how medical insurance works. If you accept my insurance you'll get paid whatever my insurance company pays you because in order to accept my insurance you have to had previously agreed to their fee schedule. Insurance companies do not blindly pay out money. What they do is watch where every goddamn dollar goes because they know everyone is trying to scam them.

Source: Me. As my wife said today when we left for the store, "Yay, I'm getting out of the house and not seeing a doctor!" <<-- true story.

Actually you don't understand how medical insurance works.

As part of the Obamacare legislation which set up healthcare.gov and insurance and what it must cover Etc they limited health insurance companies profits to 5% or maybe it was seven I forget the exact percentage of the amount of money they actually pay out in payments for medical care. They thought this would limit extraordinary profits for health insurance companies but what it did was completely disincentivized health insurance companies from trying to contain costs. After all now that same health insurance company would much rather the doctor charge you a million dollars then charge you half a million dollars because 5% of a million dollars is more than 5% of half a million dollars.

It doesn't work 97% of the time.

It's reasonably arguable that chemo doesn't cure anything. In the context presented, it is as if the chemo has a 3% chance of working when actually all the data says is that 97% died. I can almost guarentee in experiment that if they gave plecebos it would show you have a better chance surviving not taking the treatment than taking it.

It's very similar to shooting 100 people, then offering to sell the bullets as life saving because some survived. Or, do this self harm because demons will possess you type witchdoctor quackery.

If you ask a pediatric oncologist if they would use chemo for their own children, they will all say "no".
Others have already mentioned here but it is the fasting that works.
