Jobs didn't die as a result of alternative health cures. He ate that way all of his adult life. The guy ate mostly just fruits and vegetables, often not caring or paying attention to whether he was getting adequate fats and proteins. Unfortunately, we're only now discovering how damaging having almost no saturated fat in your diet can be. I'd say this contributed to his demise more than anything, really. He was a stubborn, headstrong guy though and didn't accept advice easily. Furthermore, he put off getting any standard treatment until it was too late. He may have tried some alternatives but it's highly unlikely that they were anything but ineffective. The Isaacson biography is good and worth a read.
Where did you get your nutrition training? This is mostly horseshit. Vegans get plenty of good fats and an abundance of protein (protein deficiency? Ever seen or heard of any person dying of protein deficiency in the developed world? I thought not.). Jobs had cancer since his late 20's when he worked in the electronics industry in Silicon Valley. His fruitarian vegan diet held off his cancer for many years more than it would have had he been a carnist. He was also Buddhist and did not want surgery - his choice. Turns out it would not have saved him but idiots continue to pass this around like it was true. His cancer metastasized many years before it was found and NO TREATMENT would have saved him. At least do the man the justice of posting the truth instead of some made-up bullshit.
