After watching Netflix Apple Cider Vinegar, along with a couple of other documentaries and the 60-minute interview, I’m left with a couple of questions about her story.

1. Where did she learn to cook so well? Her recipes look really professional and well thought out, so it’s clear she has some cooking talent. But there’s never any mention of her background in cooking or how she came up with these recipes. Also, creating a cookbook seems like a big undertaking with lots of recipe creation and testing. Did she work in hospitality or have any training?
2. What was her angle with the additional cancer claims? Her whole business (app, book) was built on how healthy eating, raw foods and wellness were helping her with brain cancer, but then later announces she’s been diagnosed with new, multiple cancers (spleen, uterus, liver, etc.). I don’t understand the reason for this, since it seems to go against her whole message about using natural medicines and food to combat cancer. From a business perspective, this seems like the opposite of what you’d want to announce, because it suggests it’s actually not working. Not only did she still have brain cancer, but now she has all these new cancers. I wonder if her need for attention & sympathy was more of a driving force for her than the business, money side.

Thoughts?
