But...sugar stimulates cancer.
Also, his younger brother got cancer with a 50% chance of survival. He did the same regimine and he's also still with us 10 years later.

You'll survive!
Not sure what that means
What does my survival have to do with anything?
Again like Toolbelt, you are making less and less sense
the similarities are striking
All the comments about sugar:
Our body turns food into glucose (sugar). That is the only "food" for our brain. It isn't healthy to eat too much sugar for a variety of reason but our body will create sugar out of what we eat to meet the needs of our body and brain.
All the comments about juicing and cancer cures:
1) Solid research indicates that people who choose "alternative" or "natural" so called "cures" for cancer don't live as long as people who use treatments with science behind them.
2) As someone else said, that someone did X and then Y happened is a correlation. It does not explain if doing X causes Y. For that you need solid research.
3) The Mayo Clinic has a database of all the credible studies they can about "natural" and "alternative" "treatments" and whether or not they "worked". Some do. What usually happens if they do is that then pharma figures out what the ingredient(s) were that caused the positive outcome, purifies, it figures out the optimal doses, does clinical trials, if results of that meet criteria, then get FDA approval. Then that "natural/alternative" treatment is now mainstream.
Science, like gravity, works all the time not just when you want it to.

I have NO faith in Big Pharma or the FDA.
What are your thoughts about men having babies?
Glucose is absolutely NOT the "only" food for our brain. What is our brain comprised mostly of?
Anyone on a keto or carnivore diet (Especially a LION diet) will tell you their brains run far better in the absence of most glucose in the body. In most cases SUBSTANTIALLY better.
If you're on the S.A.D. then yes, your brain will choose glucose because there is a never-ending supply of it. That doesn't mean it's better, by any means. In fact there are plenty of studies to back up that our brains prefer fat when they're not overloaded with sugar.
Glucose is not the "only" food for our brain.

You've got a good amount of good posts on the industry, but you lose a lot of people with the TDS. I'm not being hostile. I'm just being honest. I get the you don't like his personality, but he's not Stalin or Hitler reincarnated. He is doing a lot of good for people, too.
I keep hearing about this
But any discussion on how this works goes nowhere
Kind of like this
You are taking about what people eat and I am talking about what our body does with what we eat (what it is broken down into as it is digested). It is the only source of energy for our brain and red blood cells. It also provides energy to other cells too but is not the sole source. Of course our body needs other nutrients, but the brain is especially dependent upon it. Our digestive system breaks down foods into glucose (and other things). Your example of Keto and other diets talks about what is eaten, not what our body makes from what we eat. If you ate no sugar (and there is "natural" sugar in many foods such as fruits), because your body breaks down food into glucose, you will still have glucose in your system. Of course consuming too much sugar is problematic and the diets you talk about help people not do that, but our body also makes glucose from what we eat, including things that don't have sugar in them.
This article talks about some of this in layperson language (along with other common issues including consuming too much sugar)
