I would argue that "slowing growth of cancer" (to a few of my friends with cancer) is a cure. As long as the trend continues until the cancer is gone. There is no cure that makes cancer disappear instantly. (surgery isn't a cure)
If you don't have anyone in your life fighting cancer, maybe you can't appreciate how "cure" and "slowing cancer" are synonymous to those in the middle of dealing with it.
- cjslep 7y agoThis got needlessly personal, really fast. "Slowing the growth" of cancer doesn't shrink the cancer, the cancer is still growing. Slower. It buys time. But it's not a cure. Maybe I can appreciate it, because it took my grandmother away from me. The one my parents named me after. I am very sorry for your friends and others going through it.
- RobertRoberts 7y agoI certainly don't mean it to be personal. (sorry, not my intentions) Cancer doesn't stop growing until it first slows down. I think this is simple logic. Slowing the growth of cancer with only a change in eating habits (not even the food contents) is almost magically/ridiculously simple. And it's sad that it's not main stream method for helping cancer patients. (I know it's not a cure, but if it helps even a little, it's useful)
