Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa, Mea Maxima Culpa. Guess this headline ranks right up there with "UFO pilot body hidden by US Gov't" Brian and Gary's comments moved me to do a little more research at sites less tabloid and more reliable. At first I was preparing a rebuttal showing the time line that this diestwas NOT AFTER medicine failed but BEFORE and INSTEAD of the surgery.
But one of my favorite alternative medicine debunker, David Gorsky at his Science Base medicine site backs up their point about the delay not being meaningful
[quote]While Jobs certainly didn�t do himself any favors by waiting nine months to undergo definitive surgical therapy of his tumor, it�s very easy to overstate the potential harm that he did to himself by not immediately letting surgeons resect his tumor shortly after it was diagnosed eight years ago.....Aside from the initial nine months, Jobs, as far as we know, relied on exclusively on conventional therapy to treat his disease. [/quote]
SBM concludes [quote]Jobs was unfortunate in that he appears to have had an unusually aggressive form of the disease that might well have ultimately killed him no matter what. That�s not to say that we shouldn�t take into account his delay in treatment and wonder if it contributed to his ultimate demise. It very well might have, the key word being �might.� We don�t know that it did, which is one reason why we have to be very, very careful not to overstate the case and attribute his death as being definitely due to the delay in therapy due to his wanting to �go alternative.[/quote]�
Luck still counts.

Here's the link to the full article which also mentions how the fraudsters are claiming it was conventional medicine which killed Jobs [url=http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/index.php/the-death-of-steve-jobs/][/url]

Rest in Peace, Mr. Jobs, we will all miss you
