This is nothing new though; gurus and healers have been saying for decades that there are better cures (after which most people who listened to them died and sometimes they died themselves after taking their own 'cure').
Hell, even here on HN we see people basically claiming that keto + no sugar + fasting will prevent or cure cancer. And this is a community that wants real proof, yet many here seem to believe that and might forgo chemo in the future because of that belief. The thing is; most of these people (as I usually check) seem to be in their 20s. In your 20s you are in fact indestructible in most cases, so thinking that you will survive anything and that doing some fad diet/cure/whatever will help you do that says or means nothing. Fast forward 30-40 years and then let's discuss that again.
Maybe they are right (but right means there is a lot of research and real cases and there are not at the moment), but if not, i'm quite scared about how many people here follow these half baked ideas and then basically play 'health guru' online because they 'feel so good'. Newsflash; you always feel good in your 20s, even if you smoke, eat burgers+pizza and drink every day, you still feel fine because you are young. It is dangerous claiming these things together with half baked scientific theories about cancer cells.
