A cure? From Ayurveda?

While I would dearly love to believe that Ayurveda can cure my MDS/Acute Myeloid Leukemia, I don't.
I've felt desperate at times, anxious to try anything - and believe me, well-meaning people have suggested everything, from Ayurvedic medicine, mountain plants (boiled in water), Cannabis oil, almond kernel oil and other alternative treatments. Ayurvedic treatment is known to include high levels of metal - not a good idea for somebody with bone marrow cancer. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15598918
Although I have for the most part followed a healthy life, consuming good quality food, no alcohol and minimal caffeine, minimal medications, lots of walking and maintaining a healthy body weight, I have had to place myself in the trust of highly qualified doctors, scientists, who know more about the bone marrow than any alternative practitioner will ever know.
I know how desperate one is to find a cure for these dreadful conditions, but I also know that only God and a good Hematologist can effect the best outcome for me.
