As far as I can see, this guy is going for the Steve Jobs solution -- trying to fix himself with folk medicine.
We know what happened with Jobs: He relented and went into surgery after about a year, when the diet stuff had failed to curb the progression of the cancer. There is a pretty good chance Jobs would have been alive today if he had not gone the alternative route, as his type of pancreatic cancer was of a particular kind that usually gives much better survival rates.
Sure, Jobs may have died in exactly the same way even with early surgery, but the defining characteristic of cancer is unchecked growth, which means that an early response is always better than a late response.
I like the open-source diagnostic idea, but I don't think he is making a rational choice in eschewing informed medical advice.
