Former England batsman Geoffrey Boycott has said that he used the ancient Chinese science of Feng Shui to fight against his throat cancer.

Boycott said he was diagnosed with the cancer in 2002 when the doctors told him that there was a lump in his neck back and that he had only three months to live.

The doctors had told him that there was an 80 percent chance of survival after they described the 'tough course' of treatment.

According to the Daily Express, Feng Shui is a Chinese system that apparently harmonises people with the surrounding environment.

The science of Feng Shui included installing a water feature in the kitchen, direction he should face when sleeping and keeping a light on all day in the area designated as 'healthy' in Boycott's home.
