Dear John McDougall,
excellent article: "Why Did Steve Jobs Die?"
As allways you bring good knowledge to the world. This article makes clear reasons why we should study about our health. It also brought details on cancer with the internet address of "the doubling time calculator". Would this explain why after Quimio Therapy success in shinkring cells pacients can survive long periods? Would with the calculator be posible to have an idea of survival time after complete success in shinkrig cancer cells?.
Thank you,
Ricardo

Ricardo,

While doubling time may be useful average for cancer progression, the cancer may also have periods of shrinking, slow growth or fast growth.

Have you read The China Study by Campbell? Campbell reproduced an experiment from India scientists, where aggressive cancer growth was turned off and on just by adjusting excess protein.

So perhaps during a lifetime cancer is quiet during periods of good diet, only to grow aggressively during periods of bad diet.
