Cancer Treatment Alternatives

Step 1: Healing Power

What does it take to heal your body when cancer it growing inside

of you? The best chance you have, of course, is to nourish your

body to build defenses against a turn-coat invader. Your success,

regardless of treatment choice, depends on your own healing

power.

Mainstream Treatments Are Not The Answer

Once you are doing everything you can to be healthy, then and

only then is it worthwhile to go after the cancer itself. This is

because so many treatments are much harsher than need be if you

are already weakened. Indeed, research is already pretty clear

that chemotherapy would make you sick even if you didn?t have

cancer.

In addition, radiation therapy creates a huge inflammation load ?

meaning that it literally cooks your insides and turns your own

tissues into a toxic wasteland. Finally, surgery is a brutal

assault that adds new dangers to your health, with no certainty

that all cancerous cells have been removed.

How Many Alternative Cancer Treatments Are There?

Probably thousands. Every culture worldwide has used herbs

against cancer. The top single herbs in North America, for

example, would have to include bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis)

and chaparral (Larrea tridentata). The most widely used

multi-herb mixtures in modern times have probably been Essiac and

the Hoxsey formula.

A tiny fraction of plants that have been studied for anticancer

properties have actually made it into modern clinical practice.

This just means that very few active herbal ingredients have been

discovered to kill tumors like synthetic chemotherapy drugs do.

The longest-running use of so-called natural drugs entails

isolating vincristine and vinblastine alkaloids from the

Madagascar periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus). These highly toxic

chemicals are used in treating certain kinds of leukemia,

especially in children.

These comments point to the use of herbs historically as well as

currently, in both mainstream and alternative medicine. What

about other, non-herbal alternatives? This is where cancer

treatments really get interesting.

Non-Herbal Cancer Treatments

Animal natural products, especially of marine organisms, include

some of the most toxic natural chemotherapies yet discovered.

These are not what I call alternatives, because they are under

development to be used as isolated drugs, the same way as the

periwinkle alkaloids are used.

Probably the most famous animal product among alternative

treatments is shark cartilage. The widespread myth about sharks

not getting cancer has often been used to support claims about

shark cartilage for treating cancer. Sharks do get cancer.

Research does, nevertheless, show that shark cartilage inhibits

the growth of vascular tissue that feed tumors, thereby slowing

tumor growth.

Other non-herbal cancer treatments would include products from

mushrooms. I call them non-herbal because these organisms have

not been classified in the plant kingdom since the 1950s.

Mushroom products predominantly include various polysaccharide

fractions that serve to enhance the immune system. They are

commonly derived from maitake, shiitake, or reishi mushrooms.

Chemical Mixtures Against Cancer

Although chemical mixtures sound scary, the cancer treatment

alternatives in this category are nothing like chemotherapy

drugs. Each of the following has been used successfully for

decades, with little or no side effects when used properly:

* Hydrazine sulfate

* 714X

* Antineoplastons

* Cesium chloride

* Laetrile

* Vitamin C (ascorbic acid)

* Protocel Mixture

Immunotherapies And Metabolic Therapies

Dozens of protocols have been created by cancer clinicians in

several countries. This broad class of cancer treatments

typically entails multiple phases, often linked to nutritional

support. The best of these have been banished from the U.S.,

usually reappearing in cancer clinics in Tijuana or Juarez,

Mexico.

Five of the most successful of the immune/metabolic therapies

are:

1. Issels Whole Body Therapy

2. Revici Therapy

3. Livingston Therapy

4. Immuno-Augmentative Therapy

5. Proteolytic Enzyme Therapy

Electromagnetic Therapies

The fundamental research by Dr. Royal Rife is the

hallmark of this treatment approach. His research in the 1930s

still stands out, and it has come down through the years in the

development of several Rife-Technology devices. Some are now

commercially available for research purposes (meaning, you have

to at least claim to be a researcher to use one on yourself). A

similar modality was invented by s Lakhovsky, which he

called the Multiple Wave Oscillator. A modernized invention by

Gene Koonce that combines the technology of Rife and Lakhovsky is

now available as what is called a Vibe Machine.

These kinds of machines are not generally approved as medical

devices by the FDA. Indeed, when any such machine gets too

popular, the FDA swoops in and shuts things down. Royal Rife was

continuously harassed until the day he died. And the main source

of information and products on the Vibe Machine was shut down in

2008. Nevertheless, the Vibe Machine has resurfaced as the

Quantum Pulse device.

What To Do Now

Since this article merely lists several kinds of cancer

treatments, the work you must do is to research each one fully. A

small handful of books offer fairly comprehensive lists and brief

explanations of different kinds of treatments. The most thorough

one is probably the 1997 book, An Alternative Medicine Definitive

Guide to Cancer, although it is a little out of date now.

Nevertheless, any work you put into digging out the details of

these alternative treatments can pay off in a big way for your

health and wellness in the face of cancer.
