Eric Siu recounts his mother's cancer diagnosis and her initial attempt with homeopathic remedies based on anecdotal reports. When doctors found those treatments insufficient, chemotherapy helped control the disease. He emphasizes this is personal experience, not medical advice.
My mom unfortunately has cancer, right? Oh, sorry to hear that. Thank you. So for her, I actually found something that was more— what do you call it— homeopathic, right? There's like someone that cured my friend's like stage 4 breast cancer. And same thing, vitamins and all that. I was like, oh, this sounds natural. This is great. The problem is they were proposing all these natural treatments. And then we had a couple of doctors look at it. It's like, well, this is not enough. And then my mom started to feel the cancer like spreading, right? So then what happened was we put her on chemo and she's been able to— a lot of people can't tolerate chemo, but the chemo has been holding it back. But it's like, I do want to get her like back on the natural stuff. So it's like, it just depends on timing. Like neither of us are recommending anything. We're just sharing our experiences. We're not doctors or anything.
