>like the cancer that’s killing me, the efforts to treat it, and the numerous ancillary problems those treatments have caused.

Oh the joys of being personally responsible for your own health. Afterall your family doctor is only able to help in a general way and if you're quite wealthy you might be able to see a specialist.

You have the opportunity to go read every single scientific journal on the subject since 2005(never read anything older then 2005), while they are busy working with other patient's runny noses.

Cancer is an interesting one. You can limit your search to the last 4 years; legit, don't need to read any studies older. All the relevant studies like from major cancer researchers in China, Ecuador, and Mexico are from the last 4 years.

Will you find it?
