Wellness Warrior Dies of Cancer...

This is a very sad story!

The former online editor of the teen publication Dolly, who attracted thousands of followers on social media after she shunned conventional medical treatment for a rare cancer, has died aged 30.

Jessica Ainscough was diagnosed with epithelioid sarcoma seven years ago, a rare soft-tissue cancer which affects young adults and most often first develops in the hand or arm.

Doctors suggested Ainscough’s best chance of survival would be to have her arm amputated at the shoulder, a traumatic procedure that significantly increases a patient’s chance of 10-year survival.

She tried chemotherapy for a time, but when it stopped working, amputation was again recommended.

It was then Ainscough tried to cure her cancer by following an unproven treatment known as “Gerson therapy”, which involves daily coffee enemas, a heavy regime of dietary supplements, and following a strict organic, vegetarian diet.

Vegetarian diets do not work for all, and enemas only clean out the colon, they do not guarantee a cure of anything. Sad she did not go a multiple faceted route. Or consider after amputation, a bionic replacement.

Yes is is sad that so many tend to follow the Quacks and not go for legitimate treatments.

I read about this the other day. Her vegan diet and coffee enemas did not allow her to live 7 years: the type of cancer she had, had a survival length of 5 to 10  years, her methods did not help, the cancer killed her at the predicted speed. Steve Jobs was another example.

Healthy diets are good as prevention and certain alternative methods can  help people heal better and faster, but not with cancer..... cancer needs radical medical treatments to remove.

RIP in peace beautiful lady! ♥

Yep, a multiple level approach is needed for cancer.
