Actress and model Elle Macpherson revealed that she refused traditional cancer treatments after being diagnosed with breast cancer about seven years ago.
According to a report by The Guardian, Macpherson chose to explore alternative medicine instead of undergoing chemotherapy and other conventional methods.

She said his decision came after meditation and prayer. Elle Macpherson, 60, faced disapproval from most of her family. The only exception was her youngest son, who referred to chemotherapy as “the kiss of death.”
“People thought I was crazy,” Macpherson shared.
She said: “It was a shock, it was unexpected, it was confusing, it was daunting in so many ways and it really gave me an opportunity to dig deep in my inner sense to find a solution that worked for me.”
