        He’s ready to try his luck on an entirely untested and unvetted medical hypothesis as remedy?

        Sure. I guess it didn’t work for Steve Jobs, but maybe he just didn’t want it badly enough.

          The man can afford the most state of the art advanced private healthcare on Earth and he can afford them to make a hospital wing in one of his twenty estates so he doesn’t even need to leave home.

          Not sure why you brought up jobs homeopathy at all. Rich people can easily afford advanced medical care. Why are you acting like they can’t?

            He has a mountain of cash, but he can’t do a coronation without riding over potholes stuffed with sand.

            It’s not enough to simply have the money to buy things when you live in a place where things aren’t.

              I assure you he will have no issue finding private healthcare contractors to serve him at his home. He is not only obscenely rich, he’s the fucking King. He could import them from Denmark or Costa Rica if he wanted to. This is a service that even the moderately rich (millionaires) can afford, the King of England is several orders of magnitude more resourced.

                He’ll have the cream of the crap, to be sure.

                But, again, look at how guys like Steve Jobs and Herman Cain - people who died of preventable / treatable illnesses because they surrounded themselves with quacks and stuffed their brains with bullshit.

                This is a service that even the moderately rich (millionaires) can afford

                If health care was all I cared about, I would rather be a middle class schlub in Cuba or Spain than a millionaire in the UK right now.

                    Health care in Cuba routinely surpasses anything you can get on the US Gulf Coast. The country’s biomedical industry is world class and one of its primary exports is trained medical staffers.

                    There are a lot of things that Cuba lacks in terms of industrial infrastructure. They can’t make primary steel or disposable plastics. They don’t have access to chip fabricators or cheap electricity. But when it comes to health care, they’ve maxed that shit out and then some. Even American foreign policy makers recognizes as much and routinely try to lure over Cuban medical professionals every chance they get.
