      I’ve learned that Toni Bark died of her cancer yesterday. She espoused all kinds of quackery and antivaccine nonsense. Still, her death saddens me.pic.twitter.com/xqqXxMhgjv

      It is a useful lesson, though, that, contrary to the sort of quackery she promoted saying that you have pretty much total control over your health and whether you get cancer or not, you can live the healthiest lifestyle in the world and still get cancer.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2019/11/22/toni-bark-has-cancer/ …

          Look, a healthy lifestyle and diet can definitely cut your risk of certain (but by no means all) cancers and of a host of chronic diseases. Where quacks get it wrong is in their belief that we have near total control of our health. We don’t.

          It’s reasonable to control as much about your health as you can feasibly manage, but don’t go all @billmaher and believe that a healthy lifestyle will protect you against the flu.https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/oh-come-on-superman-bill-maher-and-western-medicine/ …

          Every human will eventually develop cancer. A healthy lifestyle could postpone that development for decades. To be healthy we all must be concerned with our diet and lifestyle. You should be ashamed of yourself Gorski.pic.twitter.com/qDtjRCjldr

          You’re vile. The woman just died and you want to pretend that it somehow proves her wrong. It doesn’t. Holistic health and nutrition can do amazing things, but it’s not always enough to overcome the range of toxins sickening people. Allopathic is far from 100% so it fails too.

          I don't think anyone has ever claimed that "allopathic is 100%."

          I wonder, hypothetically, if there was a vaccine for cancer, would she have acquiesced I’m not mocking or belittling her death, no one deserves or should suffer cancer, I’m just honestly curious
