Sonali Bendre's Cancer Claims Spark Doctor Backlash

Actress Sonali Bendre recently drew sharp criticism from the medical community for attributing her cancer recovery to naturopathy and autophagy. She shared on social media that these alternative methods, introduced by her naturopath, were instrumental in her healing process.

However, doctors swiftly countered her assertions, reminding Bendre that her successful cancer treatment involved rigorous modern medical interventions, including chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery, during her time in New York. They stressed that her remission was a direct result of these evidence-based therapies.

Medical experts denounced naturopathy as unproven and potentially harmful, warning that promoting such 'quackery' could mislead vulnerable patients. They cautioned that relying on unsubstantiated therapies might delay crucial, life-saving medical care and highlighted the financial exploitation and harm often associated with fraudulent cancer treatments.
