After knowing about his disease he continued to work but there was a time when he has to step down from the post of Apple’s chief executive after his health started falling down.

Steve has always been into meditation and yoga, and for his illness he decided to opt for acupuncture sessions, drinking special fruit juices, visiting spiritualists and using other treatments he found on the internet.

He never believed in doctors treatment or in conventional treatment and never agreed to open his body for the treatment.
