Do alternative cancer treatments really work? We’ve all spent so many years buying the stories told by our doctors about surgical solutions and radiation being the best choices that we’ve become a little jaded when it comes to looking at any alternatives. What exactly are these alternative cancer treatments and how do they work? Cancer has been the big bad wolf of diseases for so long that it’s hard to believe that there can be a simple treatment for it that doesn’t involve extensive medical or surgical treatment.
Skepticism is okay. Hopefully, you exhibit that same skepticism when the doctor tells you the only solution for you is to allow him to go in and cut the cancer out. That rarely works well for the patient. Alternative cancer treatments are also known as natural cancer treatments because they work on boosting the body’s immune system to help it fight off the disease naturally. Mineral and vitamin supplements are used, as is a regimen of exercise and clean living. Most doctors endorse these things.
The differences between medical and natural come when a patient chooses to use only natural techniques without going through surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation. Doctors become indignant when this is suggested. How dare anyone believe that holistic solutions could be better than modern medicine? The truth is that most of those natural solutions work far better than the medical ones do. The side effects of chemo or radiation kill as many patients as the cancer itself does, and cutting just doesn’t work.
Don’t take our word for it. There are thousands of reputable studies that show the benefits of proper diet and exercise and their miraculous effect on cancerous tumors. Have you ever considered the benefits of drinking good, clean water everyday instead of soda or coffee? There are former cancer patients who tried it, along with some vitamin and mineral supplements, and have been cured as result of it. Is modern medicine that powerful? Some is, but not the treatment methods they’re using to cure cancer right now. There are other options available. Try them first.
If you have been diagnosed with cancer, you can go to the doctor and have it cut out, go to a clinic and have your tumors shrunk with chemotherapy, or go to the radiology department and have them dose you with radiation that was once considered deadly to human beings. That was, of course, before it was tried as a cure for cancer. Have you ever wondered how exactly that theory was tested decades ago? I wonder how many lab rats died to bring that technology to the forefront.
New cancer cures don’t cut, burn, or poison the body. In recent years, as the medical equipment has improved and knowledge of what causes cancer has increased, there have been developments in the treatment of cancer which are nothing at all like what our predecessors came up with. After stumbling around in the dark for years and often doing more harm than good, we’ve finally developed some simple cancer treatment methods that don’t come with harmful side effects.
Do you remember as a child when your mother told you to eat your vegetables? You may be surprised to know that doing just that can help you eliminate cancerous tumors in your body. Vegetables and fruit have minerals and vitamins in them that work in your body to boost the immune system and fight off disease. Cancer is a disease which is caused by nutritional and environmental factors. By boosting the body’s intake of the substances which help fight disease, you can do wonders.
Supplements are also a big part of alternative cancer treatments. The technology exists now to duplicate the vitamins and minerals the body needs and administer the ones that actually fight the cancer in concentrated form. It is also recommended that you cut down on your stress levels, work a little less, play a little more, and enjoy life. Positive thinking and actions can go a long way towards healing a body that is ill. These are just the beginning and there is so much more to say on the subject, but space is limited and there is already a book available on this topic. You can find it at the top of this page.
If you have been diagnosed with lung cancer and still continue to smoke, there really is nothing anyone can do for you. If you’re one of those people who still believes that all the statistics are wrong and that it’s not the cigarettes that caused your problem, you are in a level of denial so deep that the best twelve step program in the world won’t do a thing for you. You have cancer. Quit smoking. It’s only then that the real help will be become available for you.
If you’ve been reading this blog regularly then you know we are proponents of natural cancer treatments and not the traditional surgical, chemical, or radiation treatments currently employed by a medical industry focused more on profits than health care. We disagree with almost everything that they do in the treatment of cancer, but in this case, it’s a certainty that any doctor in the world will tell you the exact same thing we are telling you here. Put the cigarettes down. It’s not even cool anymore.
Tobacco use is responsible for one of every five deaths in the United States every year. Four hundred forty thousand people died in the US alone last year from smoking-related illnesses. That’s 1205 per day. These aren’t random numbers. They’re real. Just ask anyone who smoked for years and can’t speak anymore without using an electronic voice box or perhaps go to a nursing home and see the number of respirators and oxygen tanks that are being used by a generation that thought smoking was classy and stylish. Ask them what they would do if they could back in time and quit when they were younger. And you smoke for what reason exactly?
Chronic smoking has helped fill the coffers of tobacco companies and created the need for cancer clinics around the world. It has raised the cost of health insurance to the point that the federal government in the United States had to step in and create a more affordable option. Smoking, once a pastime of the majority, is now very much a politically incorrect, harmful exercise that will cause illness in those who do it and deeply offend many of those who have to smell it and breathe it. Just quit. Everyone will be a lot happier if you do, including you.
Stage IV cancer is considered the most difficult to treat because the cancer has metastasized and spread to other parts of the body away from the original area where it was diagnosed. Not surprisingly, most doctors will tell you that surgery is the only solution when cancer reaches this stage. The patient has already gone through chemotherapy or radiation treatments and the tumors are no longer responding. The question that should be asked at this point is whether there are other options that haven’t been examined yet, natural cancer treatment methods.
There are a few problems with the surgery recommendation most often suggested by doctors when a patient’s cancer progresses. The first is the methods used to determine whether or not the cancer has actually reached Stage IV. There are two techniques used. One, called clinical staging, utilizes physical examination, radiological examination, and endoscopes. The other, called pathological staging, utilizes microscopic examination of selected tissue. Neither is very accurate because they each focus on a small area or tissue sample, not the entire region of the body that could be infected.
Another problem with surgery as a Stage 4 treatment is the weakened state of the body and the immune system after the chemo or radiation sessions. This entire regimen is often a bad idea from the very beginning. Some nutritional changes and a few healthy lifestyle modifications when tumors are first detected can alter the progression of the disease significantly. By the time the subject gets to Stage 4 it sometimes appears to be too late to change the inevitable. There is, however, always hope.
Alternative cancer treatments available today have changed the medical world’s perception about terminal cancer, so much so that the word “terminal” is rarely uttered anymore. The whole cut, poison or burn, and then cut again routine is being slowly phased out and will soon be part of a dark part of medical history which will be happily forgotten. It’s difficult to say right now that there is actually a cure, but many of the causes of cancer have been identified and can be prevented. Is Stage 4 treatment possible? Of course it is. Anything is possible.
Which sounds better to you? The traditional methods of treating breast cancer for the past twenty-five years have been surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. Newer treatment methods include acupuncture, meditation, yoga, and nutritional changes. There are also some more modern, less invasive methods such as hormone treatments and protein blockers like Tykerb, Herceptin, and Avastin. To simplify those choices, they are: cut, burn, poison, relax, eat better, or get an injection of some kind. Which do you prefer? I’ll make it easier. Pick two of the six as top options.
It doesn’t take clairvoyance to figure out which two you decided upon. It’s also a pretty good guess that you’re skeptical about relaxation and nutrition being viable cancer treatments, but they are. Stress and poor eating habits have been proven to be primary causes of cancer occurring in any form. This is particularly true in the United States where fast food and an even faster pace are common for most people. In other parts of the world and in major urban areas everywhere, the additional factors of smoke and air pollution are also added to the list of cancer-causing elements.
For cancer sufferers living in a hectic environment, a natural cancer treatment option may not seem like a solution they have the time or energy for, but when you consider the side effects and low survival rate of other methods, this argument makes no sense. It takes less energy to change your diet than to fight the effects of chemotherapy, radiation, or recover from invasive surgery. Living healthier and incorporating some spirituality into your life will make a big difference in more areas than one.
Alternative cancer treatments are discounted by medical professionals as ineffective and even fatal choices by cancer patients. The truth is that surgery and chemo are far more fatal than the natural options that are outlined here. Studies have shown in recent years that the causes of cancer are mostly environmental or nutritional, so taking steps to change those elements in your life could be the elusive cancer cure you’ve been looking for. Best of all, you don’t have to be cut open to see if it works.
Just to clarify, a doctor slicing open your body with a sharp metal object is not a natural cancer cure. In most cases it’s not a cure at all; the survival rate after a surgical cancer treatment is very low. There are less invasive techniques which don’t require you to go through weeks and months of recovery time; some of them don’t involve you having to go to a doctor’s office at all. Cancer is a disease which is caused by environmental and nutrition factors. Changing those can often be the simple cure you need.
We all have friends or relatives who have passed away from cancer, but how many of those actually died from the treatment method, not the disease? Making an incision during a surgical procedure lets in oxygen which can help the cancer spread. Chemotherapy and radiation treatments often leave the body in such a weakened state that the subject becomes vulnerable to other diseases. Cancer patients often die from pneumonia, an unfortunate “side effect” of the treatments used to eliminate tumors in their body. Doctors will tell you it was unavoidable, but was it?
There is never just one treatment option when it comes to something as serious and potentially life threatening as cancer. Particularly serious forms such as liver cancer should never be treated with the first option recommended unless you’ve had an opportunity to get a second and hopefully a third opinion. There’s a good chance that you can eliminate the cancer without going through chemotherapy or surgical mutilation. The medical industry will always recommend that which they can bill the most for. The price you pay on top of that is far higher.
Natural cancer cures are cheaper, more effective, and have fewer side effects. Taking a multivitamin and eating more green vegetables in your diet won’t leave you feeling weak and nauseous like a chemo or radiation treatment will. Exercising daily might make you a little sore, but not nearly as much as a surgical removal of pieces of your organs. You can choose for yourself, but I’m thinking I’d go with the natural option.
For those of you who have fears about cancer treatments that involve cutting, chemo, or radiation, there is good news. Alternative cancer treatments that have been producing positive results are available and you can take advantage of them without going through painful surgical procedures or suffering uncomfortable side effects. These natural methods of treatment may not get the same type of press that traditional forms get, but they are every bit as effective, some even more so.
Unfortunately, the way that the medical industry is currently structured, you are not always presented with the best option, but you’ll most assuredly hear your doctor talk about the treatment options that have the most funding and political influence behind them. Cutting the body open to remove cancer is not an effective strategy in most cases, but it pays the overhead costs of hospitals and doctor’s offices. There’s no profit in them telling you that natural cancer treatments, like changing your diet and taking vitamin and mineral supplements, might actually cure your ailment.
Chemotherapy and radiation are popular for very much the same reason. Billions of dollars have been spent on the science of oncology over the past few decades and the cancer clinics constructed during that era cost a fortune to build and maintain. Imagine if doctors stopped telling their patients to go there? It’s inconceivable. The money that pays to keep those places open is the same that pays their salaries, insurance money. This is not a conspiracy theory, it’s an economic reality. Each piece of the medical world is reliant upon another. Change happens very slowly.
Cut it out, poison it, or burn it. It sounds like a medieval torture menu from the middle ages. In many ways it is. The middle ages of modern medicine happened in the 70’s and 80’s when scalpels and newly discovered radiation techniques were wielded like swords and bows with poison-tipped arrows. Those days are gone. Modern technology has proven that most traditional cancer treatments from those years are ineffective today. The quest for a cure has evolved into a search for the cause. Understanding what causes cancer can help those who suffer from it make positive changes to eliminate it.
How often do you hear horror stories about invasive cancer treatments? Someone goes to the doctor, gets diagnosed with cancer, goes through a surgical procedure, and then dies anyway because the cancer immediately started to spread when they were cut open. It’s such a common scenario at this point that you would think more medical professionals would be looking for alternative cancer treatments. So why do they still cut if these results are so common?
Even those who do survive the initial cutting are then put through a series of chemotherapy or radiation treatments, basically poison, to shrink or destroy any tumors that might be left over. This often lowers the immune system’s effectiveness so drastically that patients expire from other ailments after the cancer is gone. It’s as invasive as cutting; it just doesn’t leave an exterior scar. Worse even than that, the survival rate and the quality of life are both significantly lower after these treatments.
Cancer treatment doesn’t have to be invasive. There are natural cancer treatments available which don’t require cutting, chemo, or radiation. Those slash, poison and burn methods of treating cancer are gradually being phased out by many medical professionals as studies show their ineffectiveness. New studies are beginning to show that natural solutions are better; proper diet and the use of vitamin and mineral supplements can boost the body’s immune system and help those afflicted with cancer fight off the disease without invasive surgeries or harmful chemicals.
Neither you nor your loved ones should have to fight a battle with cancer only to lose your life anyway because of the treatment you chose. Cancer, in many cases, doesn’t have to be terminal, and cancer treatments don’t have to cause you more pain than you’re already in. Look into natural cancer help and you may just find yourself surviving longer than any of the medical “experts” deemed you possibly could. If you improve your diet, take some vitamins, and exercise more, you’ll be stronger when the cancer does recede or go dormant and you won’t have any of those residual chemicals in your body from treatments that were recommended to you by oncologists.
