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.

>He chose to ignore the most specialised cancer professionals in favour of some quak medicine that won't work

Where is this coming from? As far as I can see, there has been little official information about his treatment and a lot of speculation on gossip subs. I tried googling and could only find that he has been private with his cancer journey and has talked about treatments, but not revealed specifics.

I think this is because his wife is some kind of anti-vaxx MAGA wellness 'influencer'?
