Bubonic plague discovered on New York City subway.

"In 18 months of scouring the entire system, he has found germs that can cause bubonic plague uptown, meningitis in midtown, stomach trouble in the financial district and antibiotic-resistant infections throughout the boroughs."

And yet we survive.

We already know the cure for cancer. I bet it's cut out the sugar.

"In the 1930s it was Otto Warburg who won two Nobel Prizes for his discovery that cancer cells convert from using oxygen to sugar for energy.[4]  There is always some “sugar burning” going on, but cancer cells generate up to 60% of their energy from sugar rather than ~5% in healthy cells."

"All of the accumulated knowledge to date involving cancer cell metabolism strongly suggests limitation of refined sugars to control tumor cell growth.[8]
The particular type of sugar consumed may influence cancer risk.  A recent study is instructive.  Six of ten mice fed a diet rich in high fructose corn syrup developed liver tumors over a 12-month period of time versus zero tumors in mice fed a normal diet.[9]
But for inexplicable reasons, limitation of dietary sugar is not in the average oncologist’s armamentarium."

It's not inexplicable. Doctors, pharmaceutical companies, politicians and bureaucrats can't make any money recommending cutting sugar out of a patient's diet.

"From an experiment conducted in 1909 that demonstrated the growth of implanted tumors was inhibited by underfeeding mice, to reduction in the recurrence of tumors from 82% in fully-fed mice to only 28% in underfed mice in an experiment conducted in 1926, it has been widely known that diet can control cancer.
Another experiment showed that a limited calorie diet combined with high-fat intake reduced tumor incidence from 73% to just 7%.
We’ve known for over 100 years that diets can control cancer yet there is no recommended diet for cancer patients.[10]"

Because there's no money to be made from it and no competition.

"So let’s go to our doctor and demand we get an Rx for metformin.  But wait.  We know modern medicine has dragged its feet for over a century on the connection between diet and cancer and for over 80 years since the discovery by Otto Warburg in Germany that cancer cells thrive on sugar; and since 1971 when it was first realized metformin reduces cancer growth and mortality. Why are we going back and asking our doctors for metformin when they have lost all level of trust?"

Yep.

"Infusion of chemotherapy agents in the oncologist’s office, which by one report only contribute to ~2% of the cancer cures[33], generates 80% of an oncologist’s income.[34]  Any therapy that would interrupt that income stream would likely be ignored or rejected outright."

Like I said, it's not inexplicable.

"It was John Ely PhD who had shown in the animal lab that only 1 in 20 mice (5%) fed a low-sugar died expired from implanted breast tumors whereas 16 of 24 mice (66%) fed a high-sugar and carbohydrate diet failed to survive[36], ventured to place two end-stage terminal breast cancer patients on a low-sugar/ low carbohydrate diet combined with oral vitamin C.  Each subject shed 50 pounds and lived 11 and 13 years respectively.[37]"

I bet the FDA destroyed Ely if he wasn't killed.
