If so, I strongly urge you to keep on trying to get the conventional treatments as your doctors are recommending. Relying on unproven natural treatments when your life is concerned is not a good course of action to take.
Is there a financial reason that your parents are opposed to conventional treatments? If so, there may be ways to pay for it.
