Maybe it's time for him to give the metabolic cancer theory a go and try to bump up his mitochondrial function as much as possible? It's practically untestable due to science testing all compounds in isolation instead of a cocktail over longer period of time that can't be properly controlled even if it might be true. Every single cancer cell has a damaged mitochondria and often switching it properly on leads to cancer cell's apoptosis. He should also take desloratadine as some Swedish hospital observational study showed a significantly increased survivability on all tumor types with it. Some people had success with the combination of DCA, R-ALA, B1 HCl megadoses >2g, CoQ10 + PQQ, glucosidic astaxanthin, nattokinase/serrapeptase/lumbrokinase, low-dose aspirin, pancreatic enzymes and lactoferrin, with complete removal of fructose from the diet (as the cancer explosion can be correlated with years when fructose started getting introduced into diet in large quantities).

Really awesome that he was able to do this and give back, but none of this would have been possible without his unfathomable wealth and access.

According to some online sources his total wealth is under $3B. Hardly ‘unfathomable wealth’ IMO. Sure, billionaire territory but nowhere near the ultra-wealthy.

Feeling inspired?

It’s more like I hope more bad things happen to rich and powerful people so they start doing something against it. As long as it happens to ordinary people most of then hardly care.

Reminds me of the GOP who was against stem cell treatments until Reagan got Alzheimer‘s

> ...but none of this would have been possible without his unfathomable wealth and access. ? What's that supposed to mean? Is that bad? You can do the same thing as he did, what's stopping you?

Wealth is mostly based on either luck and more often heritage.

3 billion is ultra wealthy, you can't be serious.

There are grad students babying organoids right now. Saturday morning. If you can work a pipette you can do this.

This is an excellent use of his wealth and skills. Much better than Steve Jobs' response.

I remember reading a similar article about a (cancer?) patient who used 3D printing for his personalized cure.

Friend, $3B is unfathomable wealth for an individual.
