Most cancer patients are
concerned about knowing alternative therapy for curing their cancer. There are
numerous reasons as to why they choose to take
alternative therapy; it might be because they are not satisfied with their
current treatment or conventional medicines/treatments have failed to satisfy
them. Many people who are suffering from
cancer have this feeling that they have trivial control over their health;
alternative cancer therapy provides them some feeling of control. Unlike conventional treatment, Alternative
therapy is not scientifically proven and there is no empirical proof that these
therapies work. Alternative cancer
therapy has some negative effects so it is not always safe to use, it is
necessary to consult your doctor before using this therapy.
What is alternative cancer therapy?
Alternative Cancer Therapy involves the use of
alternative medicines that add on to the treatments prescribed by the
doctor. This alternative therapy can be
used as a substitute for doctor’s treatment. These medicines will help cancer
patients in coping with the symptoms and signs of cancer. Alternative therapy
helps in decreasing signs and symptoms of cancer such as nausea, fatigue,
vomiting, anxiety, unrest and stress. It is very important for the cancer
patients to use balanced medicines; both prescribed by the doctor and
alternative cancer medicines. These medicines do not equate the effectiveness
of medication provided by the doctor but they do help a lot in fighting against
cancer.
Range of alternate therapies to heal cancer
Some examples of alternative
cancer therapy include laetrile, shark cartilage and gerson therapy. In 1845,
Laetrile was first used in Russia and since then it is promoted as an
alternative cancer therapy. Although it is not scientifically proven that it
treats cancer or not but it is adopted by many people as a cancer treatment.
Laetrile is made up of amygdaline. Amygdaline is a natural substance, which is
present in many fruits and raw nuts such as kernels and apricot. Some of the
previous users of laetrile have claimed that laetrile helps in improving their
health and energy levels. In addition, it detoxifies and cleanses your body.
Another Alternative Cancer Therapy
used by patients in Toronto is Gerson therapy. Doctor Max Gerson founded this
therapy in 1920. This therapy is most commonly used in the place of
conventional medicines. This therapy includes proper diet control so that your body can get rid of toxins hence improving the immune system of
your body. After witnessing its positive effects on migraine headaches, Doctor
Max used this treatment to cure other diseases like cancer and tuberculosis.
Shark cartilage is available
in the form of powder or capsules that you can add to your food or take it as a
supplement. It includes dogfish shark and hammerhead shark’s cartilage. But
there is a great debate concerning the use of shark cartilage as an alternative
cancer therapy as some people claim that intake of such cartilages can lead to
cancer and other advocate the view that this therapy is effective in treating
cancer patients.
