India, Nov. 26 -- Actor Sonali Bendre is a cancer survivor and recently talked about how Autophagy helped her in recovery through her social media. However, she faced a lot of backlash for her statement as many medical professionals dismissed her claim. On Monday, the actor took to X and reacted to the controversy. Her note read, "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 (sic)." She added, "What truly matters is open, respectful dialogue. We don't all have to agree, but we should avoid dismissing one another simply because we lean toward different approaches. Each person must choose what feels right, safe, and empowering for them. I will always share my journey with honesty and humility, never as a prescription, but as lived experience." Also, Sonali extended support to a recent study by Nobel Prize-winning biologist Yoshinori Ohsumi. She wrote, "In 2018, when I was diagnosed with cancer, this study really helped me. My naturopath introduced me to it, I researched it, and this is what I followed - Autophagy for healing. And I continue to follow it to date."HTC...
