So let me get this straight. Radiation causes cancer. But radiation also cures cancer. Do you guys seriously believe this shit?

/s because I've written more obvious satire before, only to be interpreted seriously

    The reason for this is a little bit of radiation damages your DNA causing the cells to go haywire, whereas a lot of radiation kills the cells outright.

    So if you get cancer, you blast the cancer cells with radiation to wipe them out. The radiation is targeted so you don't wipe out healthy cells.

    How are they able to target cancer cells?

    If you think this is obvious satire, then I have to wonder when was the last time you actually spoke to an average human person? There are people on this site who would unironically say something like that

    I remember a website by some guy experimenting with terminal cancer in himself. He'd eat gold particles and microwave himself with a DIY device made from a microwave oven.

    It was several years ago, so I think we would have heard of he was successful.
