Apple founder Steve Jobs' faith in alternative medicine likely cost him his life, says Barrie Cassileth, chief of integrative medicine at New York's Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.

Jobs was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2003. But Jobs, revered as one of the brightest minds on the planet, chose to delay surgery, the only treatment that had a chance to save his life, Cassileth says.

For nine months after his diagnosis, Offit writes, Jobs treated his cancer with acupuncture, herbs, bowel cleansings and a special diet of carrots and fruit juices.

Jobs eventually had surgery, and even a liver transplant. But it was too late.

He died in 2011, eight years after diagnosis.

"He had the only kind of pancreatic cancer that is treatable and curable," Cassileth says. "He essentially committed suicide."

Worse, he took a good liver from someone who needed it, when he was absolutely terminal, without qualifying like we all have to for the organ transplant list, because money.

So he very likely killed someone who could have had that liver save them, on his way out.

A true billionaire.

Probably jumped the transplant list with $$$ at the end too. Likely costing someone else their life too.

Eh imagine your loved one dying because some fuckwad billionaire, who dismissed modern medicine in favour of carrot juices, fucked him self up and then paid tons of money to get a liver which would only extend his life by a year.
