A friend of mine (she is a microbiologist, let&#x27;s call her Lucy) was diagnosed with Uterine cancer. Oncologist told her they have to remove her womb, otherwise she&#x27;ll die in a couple weeks. She decided to avoid &quot;traditional treatment&quot;. Instead, she shared her issue with various professors from the university she is working at. One of the professors (another friend of mine) advised her to go to the Republic of Peru. He gave her contacts of his friend who&#x27;s already been there and suggested to talk to him first. Lucy got in touch with this guy, he convinced her to go and in a week or so she was already in Peru.<p>In Peru, Lucy met some sort of a shaman. He wrote down her a list of things she must eat and things to avoid. This list also contained some herb, that she had to eat during the 2-3 months she was there.<p>After a few months, she got back home. 6 months after - no cancer. Year after this all happened she was dancing at my sister&#x27;s wedding, healthy and happy.<p>Now as for the Peru guy and the friend of my friend who been there :) He had a brother. They both got cancer. One of the brothers decided to go with traditional treatment (radiation and all that). The other one went to Peru.<p>Long story short: the one who picked traditional methods died many years ago. The other one (who convinced Lucy to go) - completely recovered.<p>As far as I know, overall treatment was less than $5,000. If I&#x27;m not wrong, this was including rent + air flight.<p>I must add, that Lucy lost 45 pounds within a year. During my sister&#x27;s wedding, she was only eating some oceanic fish and rice.<p>Edit:<p>This is just a short story from people I know in person. All of them are scientists working at university, doing researches on molecular genetics &amp; microbiology.<p>I&#x27;m not even sure the guy in Peru was a shaman. That&#x27;s just how I called him here. I just don&#x27;t believe he was a real doctor. The gist of the whole treatment was fasting, not a herb.
