In an upcoming memoir, Australian supermodel Elle Macpherson revealed that she was diagnosed with breast cancer (specifically, "carcinome intraductal receptif aux estrogènes HER2 positif") in 2017.
Despite recommendations for chemotherapy, mastectomy, and other conventional treatments, Macpherson opted for an intuitive, holistic approach, combining alternative and conventional medicine.
After undergoing holistic treatment for eight months in the US, Macpherson claims her cancer is in remission, and she feels overall well.
Macpherson's decision to shun conventional treatments like chemotherapy and opt for a holistic approach faced criticism from medical experts and cancer organizations.
According to The Australian, doctors have slammed Macpherson's claims as "dangerous" and "irresponsible quackery," warning that her story is missing crucial details and could potentially mislead cancer patients.
Cancer Research UK emphasizes the importance of following evidence-based treatments recommended by healthcare professionals for the best chances of survival and recovery.
