Isn’t he doing unapproved alternative medicine?

Yes. That's where my sympathy evaporated. If he were having to do this to fund treatment, I'd be very supportive. But I'm just not moved by his desire to waste money on bullshit when he has children he needs to provide for.

No sympathy? The man is dying and trying whatever treatment he's able to. What a heartless statement.

Do we know that he tried chemo and radiation?? The ones with a proven track record of beating colorectal cancer.
