Elle Macpherson's 60 Minutes interview slammed as 'irresponsible' and 'wellness dribble' after the supermodel describes using 'holistic' medicine to beat breast cancer


Viewers have expressed mixed responses to Elle Macpherson's interview on her breast cancer battle with 60 Minutes Australia on Sunday.

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.
