Some celebrities do in fact beat cancer with alternative treatments - take Suzanne Somers for example. But celebrities are little different from the rest of us when it comes to cancer treatments, other than being able to afford the most expensive care available. They have been conditioned, quite falsely, to believe that only approved mainstream treatments can beat cancer. When it comes down to it, few celebrities are willing to bet their lives on something the mainstream establishment tells them will not work. The fact that they opt for the very best conventional treatmenst (primarily surgery, chemo and/or radiation) and still die is an indictment of the ineffectiveness of those treatments and not a reflection on alternative treatments.
Also keep in mind that there are a world of alternative therapies out there. Well over 350 in fact. There effectiveness varies quite a bit, but the very top handful of alternative treatments have a very high success rate. Sadly, there are few reliable guidelines to which ones are the best. Perhaps the best guidelines are the Cancertutor.com website and Ty Bollinger's book "Cancer - Step Outside the Box". Notably, both of those sources highly recommend oleander supplementation as part of a cancer-beating protocol.
I can surely understand why someone would be leery of oleander - after all , it is quite the toxic plant in raw form. However, such is not the case when it has been properly prepared.
Mainstream medicine really has no answer for stage IV cancers, or just about any cancer which has spread from it's original point for that matter. And when someone has had their body weakened and their natural first line of defense (the immune system) severely compromised, it does make it more difficult for alternatives to come along and beat the cancer and clean up the mess that mainstream treatments have left behind. However, stage IV cancer need not be a death sentence and with as much as 6 months estimated time remaining the odds are pretty good that cancer can be beaten - at least that is what we have found with a comprehensive overall cancer protocol and lifestyle which features oleander as a central item.
If you want to know more about oleander, I invite you to read the oleander series of articles I have written - which you can find at the top of the right hand column on my main website's article directory:

You can also find a number of other articles about cancer there as well as the comprehensive anti-cancer protocol I suggest.
All the best,
