      And the “proven” (chemo) treatments make your life hell. The balding, nausea and weakness that cancer patients experience is mostly from the treatment itself.

        Chemotherapy is literally poisoning your entire body with the hopes of also poisoning the cancer cells. Not great

      Not only that but the “proven” treatments have terrible side effects that reduce quality of life.
