Q: I have been diagnosed with skin cancer. I tried chemotherapy and other conventional treatments, but I simply can’t tolerate them. Trying to figure out what to do next is overwhelming—the amount of holistic treatments out there is mind-boggling! If I can’t tolerate conventional cancer treatments and want to pursue alternative treatments, where is the first place to begin?

One place to begin searching for beneficial treatments is to look at how other people have successfully overcome cancer using natural therapies. One such person is James Templeton, author of the new book, I Used to Have Cancer: How I Found My Own Way Back to Health (Square One Publishers, 2019).
