What Are The Best Alternative Cures For The Cancer?

August 22, 2009

There are many different alternative treatments for many different cancers. What kind of cancer are you wanting to know about for treatments?
There is no cure for cancer, even with alternatives. But there are many supplements and nutritional needs that a body needs to fight the cancer.. if you can give the body what it needs, then the body can do its job and heal or at least keep things stable.

    There are no alternative cures for cancer; ‘alternative’ in this context just means ‘unproven’. If anything had been proven to work, it wouldn’t be alternative medicine any more, it would just be medicine.
    I don’t know if you ask this because you or someone you know has cancer; if so, I urge you to check any ‘alternative treatment’ you may be tempted by and do a search on this website http://www.quackwatch.com/ before investing money, hope and – most dangerous of all – time on an ineffective and possibly dangerous ‘alternative treatment’.
    Sadly, wherever there is cancer there is an unscrupulous charlatan eager to part desperate and vulnerable people from their cash in exchange for unproven and ineffective treatments.
    Please be wary of unsubstantiated testimonials and anecdotes on the internet and elsewhere. You have no way of knowing if the person ever had cancer in the first place, much less that they are ‘cured’. The plural of anecdote is not data.
    Conventional cancer treatments are far from perfect – one day people will look back on them with horror – but we KNOW, because they have been rigorously tested and proven in double-blind, peer-reviewed clinical trials, that they save many lives and prolong many, many more. No ‘alternative’ treatment has been tested and proven in this way; in fact their practitioners are, in the main, very unwilling indeed for them to undergo such trials. For obvious reasons, I’d say.

    Cancer is not one disease.
    The only thing that all cancers have in common is unregulated growth and the fact that the body has not dealt with it by killing it (Natural Killer immune cells) or causing it to commit suicide (apoptosis).
    What is the full name of your cancer? Where is it? Has it spread from one sight to another (metastasized)?
    Are you interested in alternative therapy because you think they might work better or because you can’t afford conventional treatment? If you or the person your concerned about has no access to a doctor today, start with good nutrition. And ask for a doctor.
    If you don’t know what good nutrition is ask a HEALTHY diabetic or ask here(http://www.cancernutritioninfo.com/).
    Assuming you have access to medical care choosing unproven treatments can be a reasonable decision if the proven treatment has failed for you, or has a low chance of success, or if the unproven treatment has a low chance of making the conventional treatment less effective if taken at the same time.
    Assuming that an alternative treatment is right for the cancer you are asking about, the treatment should at least be proven to work in a petri dish (in vitro). I wouldn’t consider anything that wasn’t proven to work in an animal study and shown to not poison humans. Find the studies that support that the treatment might work- if you can’t find them, Ask. If no one can find them then they don’t exist. If no study exists then:
    A leach is trying to attach to you and suck out your money before you have none and can no longer work.
    Or you are being offered a prayer. You don’t need to pay for prayer, only ask.
