Sure, it is certainly possible he would have died with that too  I doubt any method will work 100% of the time.  But the treatments my grandmother got after she left western medicine have a FAR better success rate, and make sense.  I think  Kennedy would have had a FAR better chance of , well at least living longer, if not getting cured 100%. But if people are going to have to have insurance or be forced to take certain treatments(neither of which do I consider proper) the insurance should be required to cover treatments that have a good success at curing, whether it is western or not, and doctors should not refuse to use treatments that work just because they won't make tons of money that way. Doctors should be forbidden to use methods that do not have any great success.  Chemotherapy and Radiation are perfect examples.
