And yeah, he publicly stated he was taking it to treat his cancer. More and more 21st century American headstones will read "I did my own research" "I saw this on Youtube" "There's a whole Reddit page on this..."

He also used testosterone blockers, which is far less controversial, but anti-parasitic drugs?
Had he gone the "traditional" route, I'd bet he would have at least bought himself some time (and far less pain).
