A friend of mine's mom got cancer several years ago. The type of cancer she had was very treatable and the chemo she could have gotten had about a 70% success rate. My friend convinced her not to do chemo and instead convinced her that drinking alkaline water would cure her. She listened to him and she died.

Of course there is no certainty that she would have lived had she done the chemo, but a 70% success rate is pretty damn good. To this day he wishes he would have shut up and told her to listen to the doctors that have dedicated their lives to fighting cancer and not some bullshit he got off the internet.
