      The American Cancer Society doesn't use research that shows a vegan diet can prevent cancer, nor showing that vegan diets help those with cancer regain their health without poison chemo drugs or deadly radiation, which of course also destroy healthy cells along with the so-called "cancer". Today there are doctors and many others with medical knowledge whom reject the outdated and health destroying "therapies" presented by the American Cancer Society site for themselves when they've gotten cancer, as well as for their patients. The Hippocratic Oath not only advices "Do no harm" but also implies ancient knowledge as, "never give a sick person something(such as poisons) you would never otherwise give a healthy person." But so many doctors have ignored this for the sake of profiting for practicing. The American Cancer society receives government funding yet tries to look like a "not for profit". Collapse
