Former supermodel Elle Macpherson shared recently she has been managing breast cancer without the typical medical protocol of chemotherapy for seven years. She chose a more holistic approach and explains that choice in her new book: “Saying no to standard medical solutions was the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life,” “People thought I was crazy. But I knew I had to make a choice that truly resonated with me.”

She has a team of holistic health professionals guiding her through and claims to be in good health today. “In traditional terms, they’d say I’m in clinical remission, but I would say I’m in utter wellness. And I am!” Macpherson said.
