Alternative Cancer Treatment | Cancer Cure | Cancer Remedies

I found an article that describes a medical student who is suffering from brain cancer.  It is a sad article, but it caught my attention.  This medical student is 24 years old, and is searching for a cure for his cancer.  He is being treated with conventional medical techniques.  He is receiving radiation, chemotherapy and surgery to treat his brain cancer.

The laboratory in which he works is located at Northwestern University.  His lead researcher, Dr. Markus Bredel’, stated that brain cancer is a genetic disease.  This statement did not make sense to me.  In a normal gene, the DNA is designed to produce the RNA that is used to produce the enzymes and proteins that are necessary for normal bodily function.  How is brain cancer a part of a normal human genome?  Or does he mean that DNA damage is responsible for brain cancer?  There are a multitude of chemicals that are released by modern industry that can cause damage to DNA, so this may be possible.  In short, I didn’t see any evidence that supported the idea that brain cancer is genetic other than the credential of this researcher who made the statement. I’m just not so sure about the truth of that. continue reading…

Radiation therapy is another conventional treatment method used to treat cancer.  The mechanism of action is that it damages DNA.  The damage is done directly by atomic particles (i.e., protons, electrons, neutrons or ions) that are shot at the tumor and end up directly damaging the DNA chain of the cells; or indirectly by creating extremely reactive free radicals in the water which then damage the DNA.  It is theorized that because cancer cells have less DNA-repairing capability, they would be more susceptible to radiation exposure than normal cells.

Radiation therapy is usually used when the tumor is localized.  If the cancer has metastasized, it is usually untreatable with radiation, since radiation therapy cannot be used to treat the entire body.  In some situations, part of the tumor is surgically removed, and the rest is treated with radiation therapy. continue reading…
