    I still don’t get how a guy with such brilliant insight could be an absolute moron in other areas (such as his personal medical treatment)…

      I don’t understand, could you expand on his medical treatment?

        He had easily treatable cancer if diagnosed early enough (which it was). He refused treatment, because he insisted on curing himself only using his exclusively fruit-based diet.

        When that didn’t help (what a surprise), he finally caved and did try to get treatment, but by then it was too late.

          Thank you for your explanation. I didn’t really know about his cancer more than the fact that he died from it.
