These stories are almost always misleading, and sometimes completely fabricated.
Let’s break it down safely and clearly.
❌ 1. Chemotherapy is never prescribed for a sore throat
A sore throat is typically caused by:
-
a viral infection
-
strep bacteria
-
allergies
-
irritation
Chemotherapy is NOT a treatment for any of these.
If a person received chemotherapy, it was because doctors found cancer, not because of a sore throat.
Viral posts often hide this fact to make the story more dramatic.
❌ 2. No doctor is telling the public to “throw two things in the fridge” to prevent cancer
These claims usually try to push:
-
miracle foods
-
detox myths
-
fear-based advice
-
fake medical warnings
No evidence-based cancer-prevention guideline involves refrigerating two special items.
✅ 3. What doctors actually recommend to reduce cancer risk
These are real, scientifically supported ways to protect your health:
✔ Avoid tobacco
✔ Limit alcohol
✔ Maintain a healthy weight
✔ Eat fruits, vegetables, and whole foods
✔ Keep processed & charred meats low
✔ Stay physically active
✔ Get vaccinated (HPV, hepatitis B)
✔ Protect your skin from UV
✔ Get regular screenings (colon, cervical, breast, etc.)
None of these involve storing magic foods in a refrigerator.
❓ What are the “two things in the fridge” claims usually about?
Viral posts often say:
-
“Put garlic and onions in the fridge for protection”
-
“Keep baking soda and lemon to prevent cancer”
-
“Store turmeric and honey to kill cancer cells”
These are not medically valid and can distract people from real, life-saving health care.
⚠️ If the post suggested a specific food “prevents” or “cures” cancer, tell me what it said —
I can break down whether it’s:
-
inaccurate
-
partly true
-
or completely fabricated
I’ll keep the explanation simple and safe.
