Elle Macpherson reveals what landed her in rehab after her controversial 'holistic' breast cancer treatment claims


Elle Macpherson has opened up about her secret battle with alcohol addiction and revealed why she decided to go to rehab.

Elle - who was married to Jefferey Soffer at the time before divorcing four months later - said she meditated on a beach in Miami and concluded she didn't want to treat her cancer with pharmaceuticals, but rather 'an intuitive, heart-led, holistic approach'. Her comments have proved to be divisive, with one doctor slamming Elle for promoting 'holistic' treatment while many celebrities have also weighed in on the debate, including MAFS expert Mel Schilling, who is battling colon cancer. Dr Liz O'Riordan, former Consultant Oncoplastic Surgeon at Ipswich Hospital NHS Trust, discussed the dangers of alternative cancer therapies on ITV's Lorraine, saying Elle likely didn't understand the 'ripple effect' of her remarks.
