Bollywood diva Sonali Bendre sparked uproar after discussing how naturopathy allegedly helped her recover from cancer, as her previous post drew criticism from various medical voices on the internet, accusing her of advocating “quackery.”
The star, in a fresh clarification, who was in 2018 diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic cancer and pronounced cancer-free back in 2021, described that she was merely sharing her personal experience instead of advertising untested medical options.
Sonali Bendre, in her recent statement, candidly explained that she never presented herself as a specialist while she clarified that her recovery entailed pursuing multiple avenues of support, stating, “I have never claimed to be a doctor, but I’m certainly not a quack either. I am a cancer survivor, someone who has lived through the fear, pain, uncertainty, and rebuilding that the disease brings.”
“Everything I’ve ever spoken about has been my experience and my learning. As I’ve repeatedly said, no two cancers are the same, and no treatment path is identical. One of the many protocols I personally explored, after thorough research and medical guidance, was autophagy. It made a difference for me then and continues to do so today… for me.” Touching on the topic of naturopathy and autophagy, she penned.
