A Mirror Online report on a breast cancer patient who refused medical treatment for so-called natural alternatives ignores the health risks
Last week the Mirror Online reported on the story of Kelly Logan – a 34-year old breast cancer patient who has refused the surgery and chemotherapy her doctors advised, electing instead to try and treat her condition with an intense regime of raw food and supplements.
While nobody would dispute Logan’s right to make her own choices about her body, there’s little doubt at this point that raw vegetables, cannabis oil and herbal supplements are not the answer oncology has thus far been overlooking. Yet, despite medical developments over the last 40 years causing survival rates for most forms of cancer to rise significantly, there’s no shortage of voices within the the so-called alternative movement advising seriously ill cancer patients to abandon proven medicine for the latest rumoured natural cancer cure.
