Help! Friend with cancer, trying to research alternative treatment!?

I have a thirty year old friend with breast cancer. She is undergoing chemo. I am big into holistic health and want to responsibly take on the decision of guiding her to an alternative treatment.

Check with your local health food store owners, they may know some good info that can be done at the same time as the chemo.

I can tell you some of the things that I have heard work well. 24ounces of organic carrot juice every day, green barley, and organic foods. Stay away from things like city water, ibuprofen, artificial sweeteners. A positive attitude also helps.

Hopefully you get some good info and find someone who can help out. Good luck!
