Pekanbaru (Antara Bali) - A practitioner of alternative medicine claims he has cured hundreds of women of breast cancer with the help of a most unorthodox medium - leeches.
H Ismail who runs an alternative medicine clinic at his modest home on Jalan Hangtuah here told Antara his cure for breast cancer makes it possible for women with the disease to recover without undergoing surgery that often implies the loss of one or both of the organs.
"I have not kept a record of the numbers but I think I have treated hundreds of women over the years and most of them were cured," Ismail said.
Ismail's standard method of treating breast cancer is putting two leeches on the diseased breast and allowing them to remain there for some time. At the initial stage , the procedure must be repeated by the patient herself three consecutive times.
Then, the patient can take a break of three days and undergo a medical check to see if there is any change in her condition. If there is a change but no complete cure yet, the patient must continue the leech therapy while taking vitamins to keep fit.
"In most cases, it is not enough to do the therapy only three times. Often, it has to be repeated many more times and the patient must exercise patience," he said.
