Elle Macpherson, 60, is met with backlash after revealing she treated breast cancer with a 'holistic approach' after shunning the advice of 32 doctors: 'She's so irresponsible!'


The supermodel, 60, has been branded 'shockingly irresponsible' after revealing she treated her breast cancer with a 'heart-led holistic approach'.

But Elle decided go down the route of unconventional treatment and enlisted a group of specialists to create a plan that 'addressed emotional as well as physical factors associated with breast cancer'. The model rented a house in Phoenix, Arizona and spent eight months there, with regular visits from two therapists, a chiropractor, holistic dentist and a doctor who claims she cured her own cervical cancer using juice cleanses and a 'detox'. Other 'alternative' medics in Elle's crew included discredited antivaxxer Dr Andrew Wakefield, who was struck off in 2010 for an 'irresponsible' and fraudulent paper linking the MMR jab to autism — and who the model dated in 2017, around the time of her diagnosis.
