I've never understood how these so called alternative therapies were supposed to work.
Cancer is a normal cells that have lost their kill switches, but continue to divide right? Chemo and Radio therapies work by killing the cells, as well as healthy cells, but they are some nasty stuff with many bad side effects....
How can these natural remedies kill the cancer cells and leave the healthy cells intact? It doesn't really make much sense to me.

Radiation worked just fine for me, and my living compadres number much more than your alleged 2%. Your statement is rectally sourced at best.

Chemo and radiation does not work the official figure for being diagnosed with cancer and surviving over 5 years is 2% that is if you go the pharmaceutical way.
