Chinese herbs

Jessica and I had a really nice trip to Edmonton. Visited with friends and had a relaxing weekend. On Monday before going home I saw a Chinese doctor specializing in herbs/acupuncture/acupressure who was recommended to me. He did a "pulse reading" and said that my kidneys were weak. Could be a reason that I am retaining so much water. Then he continued to say that what we eat is what is causing cancer. He recommended only drinking spring water because that is the only kind of water a goldfish could live in and that it would die in distilled and filtered water. Also that we should wash all our fruits and vegetables in salt water as the pesticides are harmful. He also had some opinions on dairy, conventional cancer treatments and the amount of acidity in our bodies. In the end he offered some herbs to be made into tea and that I was to drink it during radiation to removed the toxins from my body. As well he offered some herb pills to be taken for a few weeks when I am complete radiation that will kill any remaining cancer cells in my body.
Although many people balk at this kind of stuff I figure that once I am complete the chemo and radiation that some herb certainly can't hurt. It will also give me peace of mind that I have tried everything to rid my body of cancer.
