In the first months I was cooking everything.

By the end of the chemo treatment the patient had learned to cook these new meals for themselves.

We made sure to still cover all nutritional needs while following the diet.

This meant a diverse array of food sources, in sufficient amounts to meet micro and macro nutrient recommended daily values, that we cooked ourselves.

It's why I referenced the metabolic pathways derived from data backed research, linked to a data driven study, and used language like "we had significant success with our loved one" and "if you want something that you can do to try".

Honestly this reads like an "aHCkTualLy!1!" from someone without experience of having a loved one suffering from a cancer diagnosis.

Perhaps you've yet to realize but shallow skepticism against every idea is also distinct from data.

Now, after witnessing the results, they are all in on the new dietary lifestyle change, and tell all their friends.
