Patrick Swayze decided modern medicine isn't potent enough to fight his inoperable pancreatic cancer - he's also seeking New Age spiritual help in the mountains of the Southwest, according to a report.
The 56-year-old actor's quest took him on a solo trek 11,000 feet up into the mountains of New Mexico, where he sought relief in a special Native American "healing place," the Daily Mail of London reported.
He has made multiple journeys to the spot "to commune with nature and ask the spirits to make [him] well," a pal told the paper. He takes only a packhorse and his trusty dogs for the journey.
Swayze is also consulting a "spiritualist" who claims to have found psychic powers in him that can "banish the tumor," the paper said.
Swayze checked into an undisclosed hospital Friday, suffering from pneumonia.
