Touching story. Poor guy, the chemotherapy killed his cancer and him as well.

I don’t think it was the chemo.
I think he picked up one of those hospital bugs.

Pulmonary Fibrosis is an Idiopathic disease. NO known cause NO known cure. It is rare even though about 200.000 people in the US have been diagnosed. More people die from PF than from breast cancer, but there is very little money for research.

What happens is that you slowly suffocate. He may have been one of the lucky ones and went fast.

This doctor developed a cancer cure on his own. The ONLY reason they have not approved it is because the FDA is on record as saying they will NEVER approve a therapy not owned by a member of the government/corporate medical complex.

They have prosecuted the guy MULTIPLE times, and he has won every single time. While he was on remand awaiting trial one time, the FDA obtained patents on compounds HE HAD ALREADY PATENTED. They were planning on him going to jail for the rest of his life. When he didn't, their theft plans were ruined.

His patients love him.

This documentary is well-worth watching.
