Relax -- it's not like I'm suggesting faith healing. :) Alternatives and choice are needed. Chemotherapy "works" by causing enough DNA damage that the body is better able to identify cancerous cells and destroy them. Hardly an elegant solution. It's important to note that even with chemotherapy, it's still the body itself actually dismantling the tumors.
In any case, it sounds like the dad already made his decision, and I can understand that. Chemotherapy takes a tremendous toll of suffering, to the point that if the only alternatives were chemo and death, it's still not always an easy choice.
In general, the natural health approach is to support the body's healthiness in every way possible, such that it can do its job. Our bodies dismantle plenty of cancers each day on their own. That may seem simple, but it deserves more investigation than a cavalier dismissal for the sake of the child^h^h^h^h^h cancer patients.
So, to be clear, the alternative I'm suggesting is: Be willing to greatly change your died and lifestyle, and find a naturopathic doctor/clinic and work with them. http://www.naturopathic.org/ http://www.naturopathic.org/
