By putting your body in a state where an opportunistic infection can kill you.
Chemo kills your immune system.
Remember bubble boy? No immunities. That's you on chemo. You're bubble boy.
But because you are already in such bad shape, and bubbles aren't very cost or space effective - no bubble for you - just more drugs to help fight off the fungi and bacteria.

If people who believe in it's benefits want to devote time and money to it, why aren't they doing so? I still haven't read any such article in nature or the like.

Probably for the same reason that FightThisPatent Brandon stepped down on his advocacy.
For whatever reasons, people just don't care. People don't like to get involved these days -- even when it's their own ass on the line.
