This was sent to me by a cousin who also happens to be an orthopedic
surgeon.

It's worth a read.

Yes. Thanks!

It's a hoax. See Snopes:

No such article was ever published by Johns Hopkins, and most of the
content is standard alt-med deception and misinformation.

For a point-by-point debunking from Johns Hopkins, see:

Thanks for finding this.

"The Truth about the "Cancer Update" Email

It has become such a problem, that the National Cancer Institute, American
Cancer Society, and individual cancer centers like the Johns Hopkins Kimmel
Cancer Center have posted warnings on their Web sites. Emails offering easy
remedies for avoiding and curing cancer are the latest Web-influenced trend.
To gain credibility, the anonymous authors falsely attribute their work to
respected research institutions like Johns Hopkins. This is the case with
the so-called "Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins."
