This is an obnoxious response that has no bearing on the content of the article. You may as well state that cancer is caused by not praying to the god of your choice or by not following some specific 12-step program that you have deemed vital.

There is no truth to your statement that is it not socially acceptable to suggest diet and lifestyle changes to improve quality of life. Those suggestions are made all the time and people who suggest them in general suffer little to no negative consequences. I am not sure how you go about making those suggestions, but perhaps your approach is less optimal. There are situations where suggestions will be made and go unheeded. Many alcoholics know that drinking is bad for them and many smokers know that smoking is not having a positive effect on their health. They choose to ignore the advice.

My wife, who passed away almost two years ago, received CAR-T therapy for triple-hit large B-cell lymphoma. I can assure you that her diet and lifestyle choices were most likely not the cause. CAR-T therapy is not made available to any and all and her case was most likely caused by exposure to specific toxic chemicals. I only wish she would have survived the extremely toxic and negative side-effects of the therapy so she could be here to reply to your comment.



I'm very sorry for the passing of your wife.

And yet DoreenMichele is voted down, and you angrily argued that her statement is no more scientifically valid than a religion.

It sure looks like it's not socially acceptable to you, at least.
