Suzanne Somers, Patrick Swayze and Chemotherapy

Suzanne Somers thinks Patrick Swayze could have been alive today if he would have used alternative methods to treat his pancreatic cancer instead of chemotherapy.

The former "Three's Company" star, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1991 and rejected chemotherapy in favor of natural treatments, reportedly told Toronto-based columnist Shinan Govani that it was Swayze's chemotherapy treatments, not pancreatic cancer, that ended his life prematurely.

"They took this beautiful man and they basically put poison in him," she reportedly said. "Why couldn't they have built him up nutritionally and gotten rid of the toxins in his body? I hate to be this controversial. I'm a singer-dancer-comedienne. But we have an epidemic going on, and I have to say it."

Wow! I know so many survivors and chemotherapy may be the reason they are still with us. Yes, it is poison but for a reason! Who are we to judge the choices that others decide regarding their life.

Make yourself as strong as you can with exercise, nutrition and by following the advise of your trusted medical team. Let us focus on the positive medical advances and not point fingers at what is unknown.
