Had a colleague get diagnosed with cancer. Like really early and one of the ones that is considered very treatable with high success rate for treatment.

He said he didn't trust the medical industry and vitamin c would take care of it. He died from what was probably a very treatable disease.

Of course he had some family trauma, a loved one with colon cancer that tried long shot treatment but still died, despite suffering from the treatments along the way. He even says the doctors said the circumstances were way better for him, but he just wouldn't believe them.
