Alternative Cancer Treatment | Cancer Cure | Cancer Remedies

Although this is an orthodox chemotherapy treatment, it is substantial news, and I decided to speak about it nevertheless because of the high scrutiny under which Avastin (bevacizumab) has been subjected.  This substance already has approval for a variety of cancers, such as colon, brain, kidney, and lung cancers.

Bevacizumab (Avastin) works by blocking angiogenesis (i.e., the growth of new blood vessels that enable tumors to grow).  It is a humanized monoclonal antibody that inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A). It was the first angiogenesis inhibitor available in the United States for clinical applications.  It received its first approval for cancer treatment in 2004 when used in combination with standard chemotherapy for metastatic colon cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. continue reading…

This is a alternative cancer treatment testimonial by Marilyn & Glenn of Brisbane and Coffs Harbour in Australia.  I think that this contains some very valuable information for cancer patients and their caregivers. Each video is about 8 minutes long.

Glenn was diagnosed with esophageal cancer after experiencing reflux symptoms.  Upon examination, he was found to have a 2cm diameter tumor.  He was treated with chemotherapy and radiation.  He had about 5 days of chemotherapy, and 15 days of radiation.  This was not to cure the cancer, but to hit it hard so as to give the surgeons a better chance of removing all of the tumor.  They had planned to remove his esophagus.  Fortunately for them, the surgeons were booked solid, so the surgery was scheduled 6 weeks after the radiation treatments. continue reading…

This is another cancer patient, Chris of Adelaide, Australia.  He basically give his own testimonial.

In short, Chris was experiencing constipation, blood in his stools and piles (hemorrhoids).  He went to physicians and was diagnosed with Stage 4 rectal cancer.  He said that he was not in much pain at that time. The tumor was fairly large, at 13-16 cm. continue reading…

Hyperthermia is really not a totally alternative cancer treatment, but it may have value as a treatment.  It appears to enhance the effectiveness of conventional cancer treatments without adding any toxicity or side effects.  I think that it may be of value to the cancer patient that still wants to use chemotherapy and/or radiation treatments.

Hyperthermia can be used by itself, but is usually applied in conjunction with chemotherapy and/or radiation.  This treatment can damage or kill cancer cells by itself, but is usually more effective when used with other treatments.  This treatment may be somewhat related to IPT (Insulin Potentiation Therapy) as well.

Another advantage of this method is that it is relatively inexpensive.  It is also not toxic.  One apparatus that is used to apply the heat is called the BSG 2000, which is manufactured by the BSG Medical Corporation. continue reading…

Mammography is touted as the best way for women to protect themselves from breast cancer.  Is this really the case?  It appears that, once again, we are being subjected to propaganda, media spin and an agenda of protecting corporate profits at the expense of cancer patients and unsuspecting victims of Big Pharma and related entities.  This video is about 10 minutes.

The American Cancer Society (ACS) vigorously promotes mammography as a woman’s best way to fight breast cancer while scaring up women with fears of contracting the disease.   It is reported that mammograms are not very accurate.  In fact, they have approximately a 70% failure rate!  The Nordic Cochrane Center reports that about 7,000 women per year are improperly diagnosed with breast cancer, which leads to unnecessary treatments. continue reading…

There are a lot of positives related to alternative cancer treatments.  We know that they tend to be less toxic, can be more effective than conventional cancer treatments, work with the body’s systems, preserve and/or strengthen the immune system, as well as many other benefits.  As positive as the people who support alternative cancer treatment methods, there are still some problems and pitfalls that cancer patients should be aware of in regards to this very important topic.  It is very critical that we maintain an attitude of objectivity, and that we do not fall into the trap of thinking of non-mainstream treatments as being a panacea for cancer treatment.

Some of the problems are: continue reading…
