Someone close to me died of cancer a few years ago. None of the many alternative treatments you can find online (some of them quite disgusting, but also the commonly mentioned ones... soursop, vitamin C, marijuana, etc) made any difference whatsoever. I assisted with some of them only because all medical avenues had already been exhausted (stage 4 pancreatic cancer) and telling her there was no hope would have been cruel. I'm not sure you'd call kava "alternative medicine" (most people use it as a recreational beverage rather than a medicine), but it's a traditional Pacific Islander drink that's a great substitute for benzos and alcohol, without the addictive potential. Works wonderfully for anxiety.
