    The study Denny cited showed cells - not a live animal. Something that works in a Petri dish is intriguing but hardly a cure. And "enhances the quality of life" is important, but something that enhances the quality of life (which is not a cure, just makes you feel better) for breast cancer may not work for brain tumors. I agree that restrictions on research involving marijuana are stupid and unscientific.

    But I also state that none of us are Ms. Holiday's doctor, none of us know exactly what her condition is, and she is best off working with those who do. The uninvolved can just wish her well.

    Why do you take this so personal? It's like you take these suggestions as a personal attack. You think Ms. Holiday is gonna read this stupid message board?

    You asked for a peer reviewed study. You got it.

    You acted like there's nothing to it. There's something to it.

    There are 1600+ peer reviewed and published studies about coconut oil:

    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=coconut oil



    I'm a big fan of the ketogenic diet. There is a lot of claims about it being a cure for cancer. For example:

    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4215472/
    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3871217/

    But I'm more inclined to believe you are less likely to get cancer in the first place on the diet rather than it being a cure once you have cancer not on the diet.

    Far more if you add in related searches like "medium chain fatty acids,” “medium chain triglycerides,” “lauric acid,” “capric acid,” “caprylic acid,”. There has been a lot of research on these topics, with some interesting results, but not too many extraordinary results. In aggregate, not too impressive, but still likely an overall positive for people to take.

    First hit.

    If you're dying, then "potential" is something to grasp for?

    For a FlatEarther who thinks that climate change scientists are just saying it to make money, you sure are good at citing scientists when they're on your side.

    I think the state of the 60,000+ studies related to low carb dieting alone, on the NIH site, is a pretty good snapshot of science in general. Poorly executed studies with all sorts of confounding factors, and cherry picked citations to support the scientist's bias.

    As with AGW, the science isn't settled.
