LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
“Desperate Housewives” actress Kathryn Joosten is not a fan of Suzanne Somers’ alternative therapies.
“She can eat all the f***ing mushrooms she wants,” the actress, who was diagnosed with a second bout of lung cancer in September, said on Sirius XM OutQ’s “The Derek and Romaine Show” on Thursday.

Suzanne recently caught flack for her remarks following the death of Patrick Swayze by cancer, which she later apologized for. The actress and self-styled health guru is against the use of chemotherapy to fight cancer.
But Kathryn called her advice “highly irresponsible.”
“Don’t even start me on that. I think it’s highly irresponsible for her to promote alternative therapy,” the 69-year-old actress said. “I would never dream, even as a former nurse – which I was for 10 years – of proposing treatment protocols, one over another.”
Kathryn defeated a previous lung cancer bout in 2001.
