It is an illegal procedure in the US (as is growing your own fresh vegetables, in some areas), and I'm not sure about Australia, but I have seen "documentaries" about people who have done it, and the cancers are gone within 12 weeks.

They have all gone down to Ecuador to get the treatment done, as no US registered doctor will perform it.

The modified HIV-type virus is a little worrying. What happens if it's programming starts identifying other cells as cancerous? They should really have a kill code in each one, to terminate it after a set amount of time.
A few points
Cancer isn't one disease so sweeping statements about a "cure for cancer" is misleading at best and an outright lie at worst.
Almost all cancers are essentially dieseases where our immune system doesn't recognise abnormally growing cells as abnormal and doesn't attack them. Giving mega doses of a vitamin is unlikely to magically kick start the immune system to recognise the diseased cells and "cure" the cancer.
There is a thing called "Evidence Based Medicine". If there is no evidence that a treatment works when compared to placebo or other treaments then it probably shouldn't be used. There is a reason that the treament mentioned isn't used as there is no good evidence that it works.
A definition I heard of "alternate medicine" is that it is a treatment that doesn't work because if it worked it wouldn't be alternate medicine but mainstream treament.
