My feelings are that complimentary treatments are fine as complimentary (with oncologist's advice), but not as substitutes for science based treatments. I belong to another group as well as this one, and have followed over the last five years, with great interest, posts from people who decide on the kale and treadmill regime. (metaphorically speaking). It happens all too often that months or years later, there's the shocked post of..."terrible news, it's spread to bones, or liver", or wherever. If I lived in a bushfire prone area, I would by all means clear my gutters of leaves, clear bush and litter from around my property, have hoses front and back of the house and even buckets for water. But...believe you me, if I see a large bushfire approaching my property, I would first phone the fire brigade, and then worry about filling buckets and wetting down the roof. I wouldn't try all that first, and when my eyelashes were curling from the heat, then phone the professionals who know what they're doing, and have the correct equipment to do it. Same with cancer. I put my trust in highly qualified doctors and add the other extras as a side dish.
