Other situation where junk food is beneficial is chemotreatment-induced cachexia where the patient is at the risk of malnourishment and premature death and eating more hypercaloric food keep them alive until they are ready to start eating normal food again and until they are stable again. 

On this topic is it possible that the reason chemotherapy works is because its a very effective way to get people to stop eating and fast? There so sick they don't eat and so kills cancer and the patients that eat normally don't show any improvement?

I am/was not vegan but lately due to the consciousness increase I've been more and more reducetarian.

Not long ago with a visit to my parents who overeats seafood, made me feel sick due to the mindless consumption. At one meal there were two crabs that died the morning of the meal and I could "see" their spirit dwelling by their bodies still and I was "mourning and communing with them". Needless to say I had even more trouble continuing the meal and supporting mindless consumption after that event...

Not at all, it will just accelerate the cachexia. Cancer patients need to eat well and sometimes even take nandrolone because of this. (testosterone could worsen the growth of a prostate tumor).
 

My uncle is in remission from terminal cancer (which started in the lungs). He ate very well including meat and processed products like Coca Cola. All that did was to trust a group of world-class oncologists in the Paris region, rather than pseudo-scientific bs.

When a doctor destroys your life you'll stop putting authority figures on a pedestal. 

Also Chemo ages every cell in the body. His life specifically brain function will never be the same and the result of the DNA damage will slowly show up in the next 10 years.

Apart from scientific evidence and nutritional value, what you eat is ultimately a matter of opinion (preference). There's no ideal diet and consciousness is a different matter. You might be conflating enlightenment with a fantasy; enlightened or not, you can eat animals. Whether or not to eat animal products is a matter of personal choice, regardless of the purported benefits -- and likely a few drawbacks -- it has on your physiology, the ecology, etc.

I just felt a state of confusion and sadness, and their divinity and consciousness that are like mine, so I was trying to comfort them and gave them thanks.. it's not with words or anything like that but thanks for asking. idk if it's because of them being crabs or what but they felt like highly conscious beings. and I think I was more bothered overall by how they were killed too and how my mom was very out of touch with this and even "happy" that it was a live crab before she cooked them... anyway not guilting am just sharing.

The only person I saw with terminal cancer who said he was on alternative treatment died barely three months after his diagnosis. 

In the meantime my uncle is ok and has gone back to work

I dont disagree. Im pointing to other parts of the picture. Nothing about what i said is advocation for alternative treatments. The average person only realizes chemo comes with major long term complications after they survive the treatment. That does not mean they shouldn't do chemo, what I'm saying is surviving cancer is not a fairy tail.

You suggested that the benefits of chemotherapy are due to the young. I contradicted

Both the keto types and the vegans are unnecessarily extreme. Going zero carb and eating nothing but meat is just as silly as eating nothing but fruits and vegetables. It won't hurt you to have both, unless you're doing it for ethical reasons.  The main dietary problem is refined carbohydrates, namely chips (including so called healthy crackers loaded with MSG like Triscuits), pop tarts, cereal, donuts, ice cream, regular soda, french fries, fried chicken, pizza, and mostly because they're addicting and make people put on weight.

Too much fructose and alcohol can lead to metabolic syndrome and a fatty liver also, especially with a choline/betaine deficiency... so if you eat gluten free (wheat is the main source of betaine in the diet) and no eggs (egg yolks are the main source of dietary choline), with a caloric excess you will quickly build up liver fat, subjecting yourself to metabolic syndrome and prediabetes.
