Hello,

My sister-in-law was recently diagnosed with a follicular, non-hodgskin lymphoma. This comes as a shock to me... as I have heard of cancer cases within my own family. She is 55 this year.

Doctor said it is a low-grade, and as such he is unable to predict if chemotherapy is able to cure the cancer completely. He says that the best he can do is to keep it in check.

I am writing here to seek advice from all cancer survivors. I am interested to find out if any alternative & complementary medicine (i.e juicing) works in this case?

I have read a lot of testimonials about juicing therapies (i.e juice fast) and how they have healed people completely of cancer.

I would like to know if anyone here has personal experience with juice fasting or alternative diet (with or without chemo), that works ?

Please advise me.. thank you.
