A family is going to try a raw food diet instead of chemotherapy and it's making
headlines "The alternative treatment involves a diet of raw vegetables developed by Florida's Hippocrates Health Institute , which is dedicated to the belief that a pure enzyme-rich diet, complemented by positive thinking and non-invasive therapies, are essential elements on the path to optimum health" according to its website.
I looked more into the institute and their therapy sounds very much on track involving an all raw food diet, massage, relaxation, exercise, and more... They have some videos about them here

Wow, that takes courage for a family to stand up to the doctors and say that they will not undergo chemotherapy. I am not sure which option is better for the child in this case since the cancer is brain and bone marrow, but a change in ones diet has certainly been shown to heal other types of cancer. If anything it's worth a try.
