Congratulations on sticking to your program for 100 days. Everything we can do to help ourselves is good, provided it does no harm. Have you changed your diet much/at all since you started with the complementary treatments?

Yes. Eating more vegetables, less meat. My goal is to get back to JUICING.

Unclear whether you are having alternative treatment or complementary treatment - there is a BIG difference. Complementary medicine is treatments that are used along with standard medical treatments but are not considered to be standard treatments. One example is using acupuncture to help lessen some side effects of cancer treatment.

Alternative medicine is treatments that are used instead of standard medical treatments. One example is using a special diet to treat cancer instead of anticancer drugs that are prescribed by an oncologist.

That's a good point. I believe this lady is under the care of a medical team but no treatment so far.

Personally I would not advocate "alternative" treatment as we need to use all the resources available to us in fighting any kind of cancer. Complementary approaches such as sensible diet modifications, stress reduction and healthy exercise are very helpful and need to be encouraged. This is what I do myself. Too big a reliance on any therapy in my opinion is not a good idea as "too far east is west" and we need to keep our minds open.
