If it works.. why should I complain?

Maybe it's more like the OceanGate submersible. It'll work a few times and then it'll delaminate?
It's up to you, it's your money. You can piss it away in any way you like! Just don't use it as a replacement for medication that actually does something!

so I'll just say that he leaned into alternative medicines as a whole, and it went poorly for him. By the time he opted to have surgery, it was too late.
Oh ok. There's no telling whether on time surgery would've saved him but yes, it does sound weird that he would delay his surgery to look at other options. I wonder who gave him that advice (wasn't me!).

Well I don't think I need major surgery for back spasms and tylenol and aleve doesn't work on me, so I think I know what I'm doing.

I do take normal meds when they work like a BP med but I went through 3 meds that didn't work before I found one that did work.

Don't be so quick to pass judgment that every medicine works the same on every person.

Iirc Jobs had a form of pancreatic cancer that was very treatable and he certainly had the money to get the best treatment in the world. His terrible decision making cost him his life there.

"conspiracy" theory:
If people had Trump's actually listened to his advice and drank chlorine, it would have greatly slowed the spread of Covid. Because chlorine is actually 100% effective against covid in the bloodstream. And the stomach. And everywhere else.

It is also effective against other aliments. If the news media had not yelled down Trump's idea, it could have greatly increased the average IQ across the USA.

He did a really stupid thing, trying to live off of just grapes. Ashton Kutcher tried doing the same dumb thing and got pancreatitis, just like Steve did. I don't see the relevance here unless you are saying that Steve also used herbs as medicine? If so, source?
Iirc then Steve refused cancer treatment cause he was sure he could diet/supplement his way out of it better than modern medicine.
Imagine being surrounded by yes men to the point that...Well RIP Steve you bunghole.

He probably got scammed/fooled by a "trustworthy" family friend with medical "knowledge" who may have shown him some post-surgery pancreatic cancer survival statistics and convinced him that he could increase his chances of survival by avoiding surgery. Remember, Michael Jackson also let his trusted "unlicensed" doctor murder him with a cocktail of drugs.

Anyone remember the Laetrile scam from the 70s and 80s? Hell, Steve McQueen fell for it and went to Mexico seeking treatment…as have many other people…famous and not.

Thing is, he's on the transgender side I thought.
I'm not aware of any evidence to support that, quite the contrary, sounds like he got radicalized by the ten pounds of shit in a five pound bucket that is the Daily Wire.
From his whistleblowing interview:
In our hospitals, they have completely gone full-blown woke and changed people’s sex to whatever they identify as instead of their biological sex. And that’s across the board. They’ve changed the names of the kid to what the kid wants to be referred to as, so you have to dig a little bit to discover, “Oh, this is actually a female who is actually named whatever and not Anthony.”
...
All the interactions I’ve had is that these kids, at first, seem very happy with what’s going on. They’re noticing all these changes in their body. For the girls, they’re getting a lot more hair in different parts of their body. Their voices are changing, getting deeper. They don’t sweat as much. They don’t have much acne. And they seem very satisfied with that and with those changes. Dr. Roberts is extremely encouraging of their transition and will essentially do whatever he can to make sure that they are happy, at least externally happy, because I’m absolutely certain that they’re not internally happy.
Hospital: practices established standards of gender-affirming care, with positive results.
This guy: "My feels tell me they're not REALLY internally happy!":
I’m absolutely sick to my stomach. Absolutely just devastated. Literally, sometimes I have to go outside and cry, because, I don’t mean to be dramatic, but I truly feel like there is a demonic presence at my workplace. And I’m so 100 percent against this whole ideology and this movement of children just feeling like they were born in the wrong body and then being “affirmed” by adults who want to take advantage of them and make a buck.
His legal defense website is up to $785k out of a $1 million target.

Like I tell my wife.. stay the fuck away from red states. You can't even urinate or take a dump without breaking some sort of law in there.

Sharpen your pitchforks, here we go…

Our madam President is not a woman. Rubycon lives on a cruise ship and does the work she claims to. She is actually a black African male, middle aged, functionally stateless. She lives on the cruise ship because she doesn't have a passport or visa allowing her to enter any of the countries to which she travels.

I obviously misunderstood what I previously had read. Thought he was a whistleblower for the good.
