In October 2003, Steve Jobs, cofounder of Apple Computer, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. A brilliant, restless innovator, he designed mp3 players, smartphones, and the first successful line of personal computers. Jobs liked being in charge, liked making decisions. Faced with cancer, he took control. Most pancreatic tumors are untreatable (so-called adenocarcinomas), but Jobs had a neuroendocrine tumor—with early surgery, he had an excellent chance of survival. Unfortunately, for nine months, Jobs, a Buddhist and vegetarian, treated himself with acupuncture, herbal remedies, bowel cleansings, and a special cancer diet consisting of carrot and fruit juices. His choice proved fatal. By the time he had surgery, the cancer had spread. On October 5, 2011, after spending years in and out of the hospital, Steve Jobs died of a treatable disease. Jobs wasn’t the first to be seduced by bogus cancer cures.
