Unfortunately the only reliable alternative to surgery and/or radiation and chemotherapy is Hospice care. Last year's TV special on Farah Fawcett drove home just how illusory and bogus "alternative" therapies are (especially the scene where her German doctor celebrated the "cure" about six months before she died). Having Run a marathon is great preparation for oral cancer treatment (TX) and is often used as a metaphor for sticking out the TX even by doctors who have never run one.
We've had some posters here on OCF who touted "alternatives" but we never heard from them again - obviously if these "alternatives' had really worked, those posters would have been back with a big "I told you so", but dead people don't post.
