Breast cancer patient (survivor?) fed up with alternative medicine and quackery that endangers cancer patients.

Cytodyn ($CYDY) has put out yet another press release touting "strong results" from their triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) Leronlimab research and their intent to "evolve into an oncology-focused company. As a TNBC patient & advocate (NOT an investor), I have some questions. Headline mentions results from 30 mTNBC patients. How many mTNBC patients in total have been approved for Cytodyn trials? How many have received Leronlimab, including via EIND, EUA, phase I/II trial, compassionate use, etc? How many have died?

Ketogenic Diet in the Treatment of Cancer - Where Do We Stand? This latest review article from Weber, Aminzadeh-Gohari, Tulipan et al, is *extremely* misleading IMO (disclaimer...I'm no expert so pls feel free to disagree, but bring facts & evidence). sciencedirect.com/science/articl… "Our aim was to summarize and critically evaluate human studies examining keto diets in the context of cancer" yet immediately state a claim that's simply untrue "...for triple negative breast cancer no effective standard therapy is available"👈Not accurate, invites scrutiny!🧐

Sooo... there was this totally bogus rubbish article in the Irish Times recently, from a cancer patient's views on nutrition and diet. I have some thoughts about it and thought I'd share, because...you know, freedom of speech and all 👍.... 1/ Starts with a bang! The TAILORx trial….good news indeed! Notably, though, this study had NOTHING AT ALL to do with nutrition for cancer patients, but helped determine which patients may be able to safely forego chemotherapy (YAY science!) 2/
