Bridget's feedback:

"This paper is off to a great start, and the first three critical assessments are strong. The writing itself is mechanically sound, and the current paragraphs show good evidence of organization and structure.

Because the latter two articles are only briefly dealt with, and because the current paper ends after the brief introduction to the final article, this paper appears to be incomplete. You'll want the second half of your paper to match in depth and robustness the first: expand the assessment of the last two studies and craft a conclusion that directly addresses the concepts, questions, and thesis first provided in your introductory paragraphs. As the reader, I'm curious about any dividing lines between claims to "cure" cancer versus use for maintenance/quality of life.

In terms of lower-order concerns, just keep an eye on clarity and precision over the sentence structure. For example, the list at the end of the second paragraph is a little unclear; construct the items in parallel (clarifying which items "preventing" is tagged to, for example -- surely not the final item?) to ensure reader clarity at this crucial point. Your writing is strong, so this is likely a matter of a clarity-specific proofread and a bit of local revision. This document is marked MLA: the citational apparatus and works cited formatting will need to be shifted into MLA using your specific resource."
