More specifically skin cancer
There are none. Alternative in this context is another way of saying ?unproven?.
One thing I can promise you ? none of the people who have answered your question so far have cured there own cancer in the way they recommend; nor do they personally know anyone who has. You can be 100% sure of that ? ask them.
Several people have recommended Gerson therapy. Now, Gerson is a HUGE money-spinner ? and it has also never been proven effective against a single case of cancer, ever.
many people have tried it after or alongside conventional cancer treatments, and some have chosen to credit subsequent improvement in their condition to the Gerson therapy rather than the conventional (proven) treatment. Here are some informed articles on this, the first being about Gerson?s famous 50 ?best cases?, only four of which appear anything like credible

No time or space to copy it here, so here?s a link to an answer I gave detailing my experience with Gerson therapy:

Sorry, but anyone telling you they know of an ?alternative? cancer treatment or cure is either
? well-meaning but ill-informed, having gleaned all their information from the internet; they so want the ?miracle cure? to be true, they swallow it whole without doing any research
OR
- a con artist after your money. Wherever there is cancer there is a ruthless charlatan willing and eager to part desperate people from their cash. If any particular ?alternative treatment? appeals to you, you should do a search on this site before investing money, hope and (most important of all fro a cancer patient) time in unproven, disproven and sometimes dangerous ?treatments?:

Cancer is a general term that refers to many types of tissue problems.
The only alternative to the standard clinical approach that seems to have meaning is called Gerson Therapy.It was documented in a book and referenced in a youtube video called Dying To Have Known, by filmmaker Steve Kroschel.
I personally have not used it, so I can?t say Yes; do this; but like most alternatives it seems to concentrate on a dietary method.
Unfortunately none. Cancer is a collective term for approximately 200 different diseases. Every cell type in your body can (in principle) develop into its own type of cancer. And the cells within each individual cancer are different too. Even skin cancers are divided into several types, some more aggressive than others. So it is not all that surprising that we don?t have a single cure for all cancers.
On the internet there are many claims of miraculous "natural" cancer cures that are being suppressed. Here some of them are listed, with links to sites explaining what is wrong with them: http://anaximperator.wordpress.com/2011/?
ETA: A few words about the Gerson therapy:
No controlled studies have been done ? only some case series. And even Gerson?s own highly profiled 50 cases are really not that convincing upon scrutiny: http://www.users.on.net/~pmoran/cancer/G? The idea that Coffee enemas could be useful as treatment of disease was not all that revolutionary when Gerson developed his idea. It had been in use in conventional medicine since 1917, and was still in use in the early 1970s.
One study is sometimes presented as one showing positive effect of Gerson Therapy for malignant melanoma: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/93598? Some even say that the only thing this study needs is replication by an independent research team. First of all most patients had undergone surgery, so the study is not about the effect of the Gerson therapy as the only treatment. And if one takes a closer look at the full paper, biases in favour of the therapy become apparent:
1) Of 235 patients follow up was only possible in 153 patients. How many of the untraceable 82 were dead?
2) The proportion of stage III patients who had stage IIIC (Very high mortality rate) were not given.
3) None of their stage IVB patients survived, making their stage IV 5-year survival approximately 7% (It is around 10% in large conventional studies)
4) An undisclosed number of patients were recruited through newspaper advertisements. No need to explain what that does to the reported survival rate.
In short: Even the best studies do not support any effect of the Gerson therapy.
Some proponents claim that this is a perfectly safe therapy. This is also wrong. Most complications are related to the coffee enemas, but also the diet can be a problem: http://www.cancerhelp.org.uk/about-cance?
It has been compared to chemotherapy in the palliative setting: http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJ?
The patients who received the Gerson therapy had a poorer quality of life.
And in this study: http://jco.ascopubs.org/content/28/12/20? the researcers looked at the survival in patients with stage III and IV pancreas cancer who had either conventional chemotherapy or Gonzales therapy, which is similar to Gerson therapy. The patients who had the Gonzales treatment lived shorter, and had a poorer quality of life.
Particularly the grape diet or what they call grape juice fasting. Water fasting also can pull off some pretty neat effects on the human body. Most fruits and vegetables/raw foods are OK with cancer, but many are not strong enough to deal with cancer, and you need something more powerful like grapes, juice fasting, or water fasting.
Its not an ultimate cure for everything, but it really helps most people that have cancer. The key to curing cancer is strengthening your immune system or what they call your lymphatic system. Increase the lymphocytes(white blood cells) to attack foreign matter and cancer cells.
But if I had cancer, I would get enemas everyday, get colon cleanse once a week, stick to eating only rawfruits and vegetables, and I would drink fruit juices, do water fasts, I would sleep a lot and get as much rest as I possibly could, I would get lymphatic massages done on me everyday, I would exercise very minimally and allow the body to rest, I would stop going to work, I would turn off the tv and the computer, and go to bed early every night, I would limit your hand washing with soap and use just hot water instead.
If all these treatments don?t work for you, which it doesn?t ALWAYS do, I would then revert to other forms of treatment.
Gerson therapy is basically the same thing that what I am mentioning here. Here are some good websites if you want Gerson therapy and these kinds of alternative treatments:

Dear DukeShadeBlue,
I am glad you said help & not cure !
I use Hydrogen Peroxide( 6% Strength ), plus I have drastically changed my diet.
I keep applying this solution with a cotton bud until it no longer fizzes on the skin-spot.
I am careful to only apply it to the spot, as to avoid burning my skin & usually do so over a number of days( 1 application /day )
I have also found that starving cancers of (processed sugars) is a most effective strategy, along with a high intake of oxygen, plus a raw-food diet.
By processed sugars, I mean: sweets, lollies, cakes, biscuits, sugar, honey, dairy, fruit juice(bottled), glucose, protein shakes, etc.
There is also great benefit to be had from a high oxygen intake(deep breathing) as well; sourced from either out in the country, high oxygen content herbs or specialist clinics within the city.
( Note to : * lo_mcg )Hydrogen Peroxide worked for me !Helped me avoid surgery a number of times and now with my new diet the spots no longer appear . If you need any more info. feel free to contact me through Yahoo.
Keep in mind that this is referred to as ?Alternative Medicine?, and is highly frowned upon by the Mainstream Medical Establishment; meaning you may receive a lot of opposition.
I believe Nature?s way is always the best, as our wonderful GOD-GIVEN bodies are self-healing if given the chance.
Blessings.
A doctor cured many patients of terminal cancer and he was actually sued by the FDA.
He cured 25% of terminally ill patents but the FDA tried to stop him from evolving his research. FDA sued him like a dozen times. Here?s the documentary if you care to watch:

The Gerson diet also has high regard. The thing with being a meat eater is our bodies are not really meant for it so it?s hard for the body to properly digest meat. Digestion is the 1st key to good health.Nutrition which really goes hand and hand is 2nd key.The Gerson diet will help with both.

Also look into Papaya and Turmeric.

The people that say pot don?t know the actual way that works or if it does.It became popular from "Run From the Cure".It is taking a large amount of THC to force the cancer cells to kill themselves. One woman who swore by it died from cancer though and there?s no proof that it works other than Rick Simpsons story and some research done by Harvard that proved cancer cells were reduced in size with THC.

Marijuana and marijuana.
Marijuana
None.
"Gerson Therapy" is nothing more than pouring coffee up your butt.
