Anecdotal Stories about Cancer (1)

From time to time, almost everyone hears or reads about some anecdotal stories about some cancer patients getting cured by unconventional, unusual, or even strange methods.  Although anecdotal and not scientifically sound, some of the stories may actually seem interesting or believable.  Let’s look at some anecdotal stories in a general way.

Anecdotal story one

Someone with cancer was declared hopeless and was not expected to live for more than a few months.  The patient’s physicians gave up all conventional methods, declared that nothing further can be done, and left the patient alone.  Out of desperation, the patient went to an isolated/remote area to live alone, almost totally isolated from ordinary human society.  Further, the patient went on a strict diet, not eating processed food and eating just enough food, especially un-processed food, to survive.  A few months later, the patient was cancer free and became a healthy person.
