[LINK] Why did Steve Jobs choose not to effectively treat his cancer?

From Quora:

"Now Mr. Jobs always was a free thinker, a strong believer in spirituality, a vegetarian and a known skeptic of conventional medicine. He chose to reject conventional medicine altogether. He's not alone in that. We come across many people like this and we all know someone in our midst that uses homeopathy or has this known fear of anything "chemical" (to those I always say that everything is chemical, if you think dihydrogen oxide sounds scary you should stop drinking water). Individual freedom of thought and choice is a cornerstone of our modern society and the medical world makes no exception."

Or, as Tim Minchin puts it:

"Alternative Medicine”, I continue “Has either not been proved to work, or been proved not to work. You know what they call “alternative medicine” that’s been proved to work? Medicine."

Which is to say that Alternative Medicine that works will be a decade or two ahead of Medicine. If you don't have a problem with being a decade or two behind the best treatments, or never getting a treatment because no one has an interest in spending a billion dollars to "prove" it works, limiting yourself to Medicine is not a problem.
