The above article seemed to imply that modern medicine could help cure Steve Jobs, but the real reason for the death of Steve Jobs is not due to the cancer but to the infection caused by Chemotheraphy. Chemotheraphy destroys white blood cells. You need to have a bone marrow graft in order to recover your immune system.
Read the comments by his sister just before Steve Jobs died. It was difficulty in breathing. In fact respiratory disease seems to be the most common cause of deaths to Cancer patients that undergo Chemotheraphy. I just found out about this from our colleague here.
Of course, after one year of conventional cancer treatment, Steve Jobs failed, but going into modern treatment does not guarantee that he will survive. No matter how big the tumour is, there is still risk that you may die of respiratory diseases such as H1N1, TB or Pneumonia. There are success stories such as Lee Hsien Lung, Dick Chenney and Hugo Chavez, but these people can recuperate well by isolating themselves. Early treatment also means that the dose may be so low that immune system damage is not that extensive.
Can we avoid chemotheraphy? Unlikely. Once you cut your tumour, in order to avoid the spread of cancer cells, you must take chemotheraphy. Early treatment improves your chances but not so much. Most are in the 90% chance, which is considered very good in modern cancer treatments, based on my experienced doctor's comment.
Even after you finished a successful but painful chemotheraphy, you still cannot guarantee that you are fully recovered. Modern medicine does not seem to suggest diet as an important ingredient towards controlling cancer because modern medicine requires exhaustive tests that require decades and billions of dollars to prove. It is too late for many cancer patients to wait. We can rely on some fragmented and inconclusive research results of the various cancer treatment alternatives, before you go for the currently known and proven cancer treatments that are well known to be not so effective still.

Sheikh Raed Salah, a Palestinian activist, could receive thousands of pounds for being wrongfully imprisoned shortly after entering the country in June this year.
Mr Salah, 52, was able to walk through immigration at Heathrow Airport unchallenged despite being banned by Theresa May, the Home Secretary, days before.
His exclusion order had been sent to the wrong terminal at the airport allowing him to arrive unopposed. He was arrested three days later when the error was discovered.
Yesterday, the migration watchdog, Migration Watch UK, condemned the judge’s decision. Sir Andrew Green, its chairman, said: “It is quite extraordinary that someone who had no right to be in Britain in the first place should be able to claim damages for his arrest.”
Mr Salah, the leader of the Islamic Movement in Israel, flew to Britain on June 25 for meetings including an engagement at the Houses of Parliament. He was detained at his London hotel and taken to Paddington Green police station where he was held for 21 days.
The father of eight has now been granted the right to seek damages for “false imprisonment” after his lawyers said he had always planned to leave the country and his detention was therefore unnecessary. He also claimed his human rights were breached because the reasons for his detention were not explained in his own language.
Yesterday, Mr Justice Nicol, sitting at the High Court in London, ruled that Mr Salah was not given “proper and sufficient reasons” for his arrest on June 28 — “nor was he given them until some time on the 30th”. As a result he is entitled to damages for wrongful detention.
The amount of damages to which Mr Salah will be entitled could be several thousand pounds, said lawyers.
Judge Nicol rejected the claim that his detention as a whole was contrary to the statutory power to detain and contrary to the Home Secretary’s policy on detention pending deportation. Mr Salah is due to appeal against Mrs May’s decision to deport him in separate proceedings.
In the past, Mr Salah has been accused of inciting anti-Semitic violence. He has always denied the accusations.
A Home Office spokesman said: “We are pleased that the court has found that the Home Secretary used her powers correctly. The court decided that there was a technical problem when Mr Salah was initially detained.”

a.)Can I connect to XBL and play online if I buy an Xbox 360 Arcade and use just a flash drive(s)? Is 16GB enough needed to store all the updates and required files? I need a new 360 and I'm on a low budget.
b.)Can't you technically use a total of 48GB worth of flash drive storage since there's a third USB port on the back? I don't remember if they said 2 flash drives was the limit.
a) Actually, the arcades come with 512mb built in, so you wouldn't even need a USB.
But I would recommend that USB anyways because for a lot of games theres free DLC and stuff that you might want, 512 isn't going to cut it.
b) I think I remember a 2 flash drives limit somewhere, but unsure.
a.)Yes you can connect to XBL and play online with an Xbox 360 Arcade and a flash drive of just 16 GB. The new Arcade consoles ship with a built-in flash storage of 512 MB, which contains the NXE update. A friend of mine had been playing Street Fighter 4 online with just a 256 MB Memory card after the NXE update. However, if DLC is required to play the game online, for example Burnout Paradise requires a 2 GB download, then you will have to have downloaded those files first.
b.)No. 32GB is the max. Microsoft stated that only 2 flash drives can be connected to the Xbox 360 at a time. However, You can format more than 2 flash drives for your Xbox 360, but you'll have to swap them constantly if you wanna use more than 32 GB.
Also i guess u would be fine as the lowest original size of the HDD was 20GB. using 2 memory sticks wouldnt be a problem either i guess.
Dell has the Arcades for like $160 right now.
I really wish I could trust the 360 because there are a few games I do want (Death Smiles for instance) but I suppose I can live without it for a little while longer ...
"only used for the wifi adapter and the HDD transfer kit."
You can use the back usb port for anything. It's the same as the front 2.
Using a memory stick won't serve as a substitute for a hard drive performance-wise nor in terms of backwards-compatibility.
