Or we should go for some other therapy like ayurveda or homeopathy.
There is no guaranteed cure for any of the 200+ types of cancer; but yes, sometimes chemotherapy cures cancer. It saves many lives, and prolongs many more. And there are many lives it doesn’t save.
One day, I’m sure, people will look back on today’s cancer treatments with horror. But when that day comes, it won’t be because today’s treatments have been replaced by ayureveda or homeopathy, neither of which has any effect on cancer whatsoever. And honest practitioners of both will make no such claim, although there will always be some unscrupulous charlatans willing to exploit the desperation and fear of vulnerable people by claiming that these and other ineffective ‘treatments’ will cure cancer.
Think about it. Homeopathy is water, nothing more. Homeopaths believe the more you dilute something, the stronger it becomes, and so the supposed active ingredient is diluted to such an extent that not a single molecule of it remains. Homeopaths claim water has ‘memory’ and it’s the memory of the active ingredient that is effective. You couldn’t make it up – except that somebody did.
So even if homeopathy had an effective treatment for cancer – which it doesn’t – that treatment would be diluted till no trace of it remaine before the resulting water, or sugar pill, was given to the patient.
If you had a life-threatening disease, would you be willing to take the chance that water had memory and that memory could cure you?
Have you read about the case of Penelope Dingle, the wife of prominent Perth environmental and nutritional toxicologist Peter Dingle, who agreed to be treated with homeopathy and refused all conventional treatments including surgery? Her inquest was widely reported last month

There’s a reason alternative medicine is ‘alternative’. Medicine that has been proven to work is no longer ‘alternative medicine’, it’s just ‘medicine’.
When you say ’should we go for’ , do you mean you or someone close to you has cancer and is considering these treatments? If so, I urge you to do a search on this site for facts about any particular alternative treatment that you’re interested in, before investing hope, money and (most dangerous of all for a cancer patient) time in ineffective, costly and sometimes dangerous ‘alternative treatments’
