A man claims that he was able to cure cancer by going vegan and avoiding fatty diets. Rob Mooberry made a huge headline on social media recently with his cancer story.

Moobery, a former bartender, was diagnosed with stage 4 colorectal cancer in 2012. His cancer had spread like wildfire, affecting lymph nodes and liver. Moobery was rushed to the hospital and underwent intensive chemotherapy and surgeries. After going into lots of medication, Moobery's cancer diagnosis was downgraded to stage 3A, the Metro reported.

Before resuming treatment, Moobery received a warning from medics that he would need two rounds of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Additionally, there was also the possibility that he would need a colostomy bag fitted in his body.

The 43-year-old lost a lot of weight during his cancer battle and experienced symptoms such as changes in the bowel movements and bloating. Moobery also started to look for some alternatives which include a treatment center in Tijuana, Mexico. However, that alternative could cost several thousands of dollars in travel expenses and medical fees.

Thankfully, Moobery has a very supportive wife named Amanda, 39, who has always been a vegetarian. Instead of looking for alternative treatment, Moobery did some thorough research about food and its effect. With help from his wife, Moobery tried a raw vegan diet, which includes cutting out all acidity and sugars from his diet.

According to Daily Mail, colorectal cancer has caused a lot of death in the United States, particularly white people under 55 years of age and below. A recent study made by the Journal of the American Medical Association showed that the death rates are rapidly growing among younger people and white people. Some researchers are linking the rapid rise of colorectal cancer with the Western diet, which mainly consists of fatty food.

The breakthrough came when Cleveland Clinic made a study that supports the idea of the fatty diets being linked to cancer. The researchers find out that fatty diets stimulate tumor growth by activating a molecular path that help grows abnormal cells.

Today, Moobery is father to one-year-old twins, a boy, and girl. He is encouraging people to educate themselves about a healthy lifestyle, which includes a vegan diet.
