It's not like people get cancer from eating carrots and broccoli.

Cancer is a lifestyle disease. So why would I donate money to someone who lives a shoddy lifestyle?

This isn't true, while bad habits may increase the chance of getting cancer, they are not the only cause for it.

You probably should read about Steve Jobbs death, he declined all medical treatment in order to use a wide range of alternate medice and it failed.
Not saying all of those are bad, but there is a lot of pseudy-science in there. (Lucky for them, believing does help a bit though, placebo effect is kinda strong)

Whether cancer is predominantly a lifestyle disease, or a disease of old age, it is definitely a failure of your own body. Consider the fact that every living person has cancerous cells in their body that are kept in check by your immune system. How do you think cancer suddenly gets out of check? Magic?

"You probably should read about Steve Jobbs death, he declined all medical treatment in order to use a wide range of alternate medice and it failed."

You could make the same argument about numerous people who declined a wide range of alternate medicine in order to use "conventional" medical treatment and failed. You can't possibly know which treatments are most effective until you put particular proven treatments head to head in a study, ensuring that all treatments follow proper proven protocols.

Most people would be completely unwilling to make the changes in their life that would be required to cure them of cancer. The treatment, and preventative measures could be 100% verified and well known, and it would still not make any difference, because a lifestyle is a deeply engrained addiction. Few people can even change their lifestyle to loose a few pounds...

Consider, for instance, Dr. Terry Wahls who cured herself of MS. Most people would not be willing to give up all conventional food and go an a diet of 3 heaping plates full of raw vegetables daily, in addition to animal organ meats, and other nutrient dense foods. It doesn't matter how well proven it is, people will not do it. People will cling to their lifestyle to their last dying breath; which is well illustrated by those people still smoking with emphysema or lung cancer.... or those people with eating addictions.
