More like MENTAL errors lol

HarryFromMA is someone who tries to correct others with his self-righteous ego-boasting attitude when actually he doesn’t know anything. People without much experience in life are always like that.
Doctors are definitely mechanics with not only degrees, but with license to kill… lawfully. Specially cancer doctors. They do everything to weaken the patients immune system and give them death sentences in the end. And they will come visit once in a while just to see if the patient is still breathing….

I’d say, Steve Jobs was definitely correct in choosing the alternative treatments. The only mistake he made was not sticking to his original decision after 9 months.

Its impossible for a pancreatic patient to live longer than 5 years whatever treatment he gets. How did you think Steve Jobs survived 8 years if not for the alternative treatments he had taken??

Just my opinion, I’m sure some alternative methods can be beneficial, but I just think they are not the best cure.

But Steve Jobs has left a huge legacy. I mean, think about how many people are probable reading this article using one of his products!

Good health to you all!

Take care everyone and good health.

What a person should trust is the body of scientific literature, taken as a whole. Not 1 study or even a few studies, not 1 doctor or even a few doctors, but the entire body of literature. If one does this, you might still be wrong because there are still areas of uncertainty about many illnesses. But at least you give yourself the best possible chance of recovery and you will almost always avoid nonsensical “alternative” treatments and charlatans.

There is really no such thing as “alternative” treatments, there are only treatments that have been shown to work in rigorous scientific studies and those that don’t. The original “alternative” treatment, limes for scurvy, was accepted by the scientific community because it worked under scientifically rigorous conditions. Any treatment that can do that will be accepted, and become “mainstream”. What this means is that if someone calls a treatment “alternative” then they are either saying 1) it hasn’t yet passed rigorous scientific testing or 2) it failed rigorous scientific testing. Not sure why someone would try a treatment that met either of those conditions.

I also believe in traditional medicine aimed at understanding the underlining cause, or natural therapy aimed at preventing the illness in the first place. For sure, given the less centralized controlling bodies, many charlatans will try to sell you whatever green tea as the solution to your ills. But again, to play my own devil´s advocate, a green tea is probably less dangerous than indiscriminate wide use of antibiotics for common flu or anti-depressors for any behavioral alterations our kids may have.

My suggestion is to trust no ONE; make your decision based on common sense, contrasting opinion, testimonies, books, and even the internet, and of course your doctor as the main reference but not as God herself. Prevent as much as possible, avoid modern medicine and treatments (antibiotics, preventive tonsils removal, etc.), unless they are well explained to you, seem required, or are critical and very time sensitive (such as Jobs example).

The only thing I don´t believe in is regret. That is truly useless. From my understanding, Jobs did not delay the treatment because he was told or believed there was a natural, safer and more convenient/reliable option. Not because of any philosophical conviction towards natural vs. modern medicine. He might have panicked, tried to ignore it, maybe snoozed hoping it would disappear by itself. Something we probably all have done at one point or another in our lives but maybe with a less dramatic impact, and for sure less public. Nine months is not so long for other diseases. Now people take it as a reference to discredit all “alternative” medicines. I believe this reasoning to be misleading and based on prejudices, maybe even motivated by private interests.

Just a thought, I might be wrong. Good health to you all.

But… history has already recorded that the man single-handedly transformed our relationship with technology. His influence has already started a total and complete revolution in the way humans expect technology to work for us.

The third millennium’s first decade was filled to the very brim with Apple products that made us be different as a species.

So, it is regrettable for him, but his legacy has survived, and will survive along with the human species.

I smile thru my tears at his death. He still lives on in the products that touch us all.

Whatever opinions people have about chemotherapy and drug companies, being opposed to life-saving surgery is just plain stupid.

It’s sort of like getting shot with a bullet and telling a surgeon, “Nah, don’t sew me up, just let it bleed.”
