I have seen articles with some evidence that a good diet (usually
including lots of fruits and vegetables) can help *prevent* cancer; I've
seen little or no reliable information that it can *cure* cancer (or be
effective in treating it).


Julia, I didn't read all the article because I thought it was just another
troll post. So I don't know what it was all about. But when we lived in
Wisconsin a several years ago, about once a month, a lady I worked with
would bring in a vegetable soup that she had made. One of her relatives had
been through cancer treatment at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester and this soup
was part of the diet the relative was put on. She said this soup really made
a difference in how the cancer treatment worked and the family could see the
results in the this relative. I can't remember what all was in it but
apparently the Mayo Clinic really promotes diet as part of their treatment
of cancer. At least in the mid to late 90's they did. I have no personal
experience so I can't verify it - I'm just going on what she had told me.

Hugs,
Mika
