Cancer guided imagery
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cancer guided imagery is an alternative cancer treatment in which the patient imagines cancer cells dying, tumors shrinking, or themselves being healthy. It is a type of mind–body intervention.
According to the American Cancer Society, "available scientific evidence does not support claims that imagery can influence the development or progress of cancer".[1]
