Yes he did use several alternative therapies and it extended his life and improved the quality of that life. Dr Ardis put him in touch with a place in Europe where he went to have therapy and he was very impressed with the results. He felt much better for almost a year until he found out it came back. Really, he should have died 4 years ago. Several surgeries ultimately resulted in losing a lung. In the end it was not the cancer that killed him. It was a benign tumor in his heart that he had surgery for in order to relieve the pressure on his heart. I heard that when the surgeons were operating they noted that his recurrent cancer was actually in retreat. So the story going around that he died from the cancer is not true. If it was not for this tumor, who knows how much longer he would have been with us. Obviously the Almighty was not finished with him until today. He fought courageously and with grace. He will be missed. May his memory be for blessing.
