There are two types of 'cures' for cancer. 1) someone undergoes treatment
and is later found free of the disease. 2) someone is examined 5 (or more)
years later and is still free of the disease.  Which one does the above
claim refer to?  Where is their data (ie. can any or the rest of the
medical community get access to it - if it's locked in a safe at some
medical center it's pretty useless)?  Where is your evidence to support the
claim that the general medical community is ignoring the method?  Maybe a
lot of doctors are applying a variation of the method as part of a more
conventional treatment (nutrition is not as foreign to the medical community
as you make out).
