perché Steve Jobs dimagriva? forse è morto di complottismo In October 2003, Jobs was diagnosed with cancer,[207] and in mid-2004, he announced to his employees that he had a cancerous tumor in his pancreas.[208] The prognosis for pancreatic cancer is usually very poor;[209] Jobs stated that he had a rare, far less aggressive type known as islet cell neuroendocrine tumor.[208] Despite his diagnosis, Jobs resisted his doctors recommendations for medical intervention for nine months,[176] instead consuming a pseudo-medicine diet in an attempt to thwart the disease. According to Harvard researcher Ramzi Amri, his choice of alternative treatment led to an unnecessarily early death.[207] Cancer researcher and alternative medicine critic David Gorski disagreed with Amris assessment, stating, My best guess was that Jobs probably only modestly decreased his chances of survival, if that.[210] Barrie R. Cassileth, the chief of Memorial Sloan–Kettering Cancer Centers integrative medicine department,[211] said Jobs’s faith in alternative medicine likely cost him his life.... He had the only kind of pancreatic cancer that is treatable and curable.... He essentially committed suicide.[212] According to Jobss biographer, Walter Isaacson, for nine months he refused to undergo surgery for his pancreatic cancer – a decision he later regretted as his health declined.[213] Instead, he tried a vegan diet, acupuncture, herbal remedies, and other treatments he found online, and even consulted a psychic. He was also influenced by a doctor who ran a clinic that advised juice fasts, bowel cleansings and other unproven approaches, before finally having surgery in July 2004.[214] He eventually underwent a pancreaticoduodenectomy (or Whipple procedure) in July 2004, that appeared to successfully remove the tumor.[215][216][217] Jobs apparently did not receive chemotherapy or radiation therapy.[208][218] During Jobss absence, Tim Cook, head of worldwide sales and operations at Apple, ran the company.[208] fonte:wikipedia
