They don't charge anything for the info & those closely involved with the website weren't demanding money from anyone. The founder actually died from blood clots at 84.

Wrong! Some of these treatments have been used around the world for decades. Hundreds contributed the info. The U.S. has been making effective cancer treatments illegal since the 1930s. Back then, cancer was rare and had cure rates of around 95%. They weren't selling unless you wanted it together as a book. You could copy anything from the website for free, not a get rich quick scheme.

He actually died from blood clots in his legs that caused heart attack, stroke, etc. He may not have had much knowledge about those. He was pretty much focused on cancer, not everything medical.

Thanks for your info, but could you please tell me where you saw the ad from Rick Simpson selling cannabis oil? I only saw he used his $1.3 million live savings giving free treatments, and a video telling people how to make it. Best wishes.

Simpson sells hemp oil, it seems.

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma killed him. The thrombosis was related to the lymphoma. Enlarged lymph nodes can compress veins and cause clots.

Enjoy your conspiracy theory, but since plenty of patients with cancer are being cured, the idea that the "U.S. has been making effective cancer treatments illegal" is obviously not true.

Its entirely irresponsible to post such lies.
There's no one to stop them. They probably believe what they post or sell the cures themselves. What bothers me about posts like these is gullible people believe what they read, buy the product or herb and die whereas they may have gained years of life with conventional proven treatments.

I read his bio. He never treated his own lymphoma, though.

It all depends on the type of cancer. Some cancers can be treated and the patient can live additional decades. Some aggresive cancers can be terminal within a year or two whether treated or not. Treatment may work for some and kill others. It's a quality of life issue at that point, the odds of additional time vs. the pain of tretment. There are statistics but individual responses to any cancer or medical treatment can vary widely.

I personally have not seen convincing evidence that alternative protocols cure cancer. There are a lot of quacks making false claims, and people who are desperate may try them. Several world famous celebrities (Bob Marley, Farah Fawcett, etc.) tried them and failed. But I don't see anyone on youtube displaying their medical and hospital records to prove any alternative protocol by itself actually cured their cancer. People make videos of a drain cleaner that worked for them, but not something that saved their lives?

I saw a book written by Dr. Carleton Fredricks (a nutrition quack) listed on Amazon where he claimed his protocol cured 30,000 people of cancer. First of all, that's a ridiculous number of cures for one person to have achieved with no one but himself advertising it. But most importantly not one of his "cured" patients or their relatives submitted a positive review of his book, offering any medical evidence of the cure. If an alternative protocol cured my cancer I would post a review and include all of my medical documents to thank the genius that came up with it. I'd make youtube videos showing my proof and offering a testimonial to the man who saved my life. But no one did.
