I'm baffled by the HN title of this article. There is no place in the article that claims a 100% success rate for curing leukemia.
The title is: "Has Carl June Found a Key to Fighting Cancer?"
Fighting cancer and curing it are hugely different. Yes, this is a human interest story that outlines the success of a particular patient using a particular method, it's great, but it seems disingenuous to use the title that is here.
Sorry about that. I can see how its unclear in the way it reads. I shortened a more descriptive title and lost the meaning. I was originally referring to how dramatic the treatment has been for those it has been effective in. I have updated the title.

And here we see the other side of not being able to change (editorialize) titles. I can see both sides of the argument, but I think this example forms a good reason to disallow giving articles different titles.
You can downmod comments (and flag them too!), but you can only flag submissions no matter how much karma you have, which is why you've never seen a story with <= 0 points!
