Alternative Cancer Treatments: Debunking the Myths

There is a lot of adverse propaganda and many widespread misconceptions about alternative cancer treatments. For example, you might hear that they have been developed by quacks and have no foundation in science.

In fact nothing is further from the truth - the most wellknown alternative treatments were frequentlu developed by brilliant chemists, physicians, and even Nobel Prizewinning scientists. Other successful alternative therapies result from time-tested ancient herbal traditions from India, China and Native America.

Another frequently heard myth is that alternative cancer treatments are solely about eating organic food and taking lots of supplements from the local health food store. This would be laughable, if the implications weren’t so grave. In fact, with some notable exceptions, most alternative cancer treatments are highly sophisticated approaches that you cannot purchase at the local health-food store.

In fact many alternative therapies are highly effective, and certainly significantly less dangerous than conventional treatments. This is for a number of reasons, primarily:

(1) They target all cancer cells throughout the body.
(2) They are non-toxic and so may be taken on a daily basis over a prolonged period.

The fact that alternative therapies treat cancer cells no matter where they are in the body is crucial since that in about 75% of people diagnosed with cancer, the disease that has already metastasized by the time it is first diagnosed (meaning that the cancer has already spread to other areas). So, using a treatment that targets all the cancer cells at once is often the only way to target them.

In contrast to this, conventional surgery and radiation, or other highly expensive (and dangerous) procedures can only affect cancer cells in localized regions.

The non-toxic nature of alternative cancer treatments is another big reason they are so highly effective. Because they are non-toxic, they can be used continuously over a prolonged period of time without stopping. In contrast, conventional therapies rely heavily on toxic chemotherapy drugs and toxic radiation treatments. These treatments must not be administered continuously because they are so damaging to the patient’s body that continuous administration on a daily basis would also kill the patient! Furthermore, toxic treatments damage a person’s immune system to such an extent that they make it easier for the cancer cells to multiply and spread in-between treatments.

So, just a few myths about alyernative cancer treatments debunked! Plus a few positive and crucial fundamentals.
