Cancer Treatment

Conventional Treatment

In conventional medicine, cancer treatment involves what is commonly referred to as the standard procedure. This includes chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery. Not many people are aware of treatment options open to them.

Chemotherapy is extremely toxic. It entails poisoning both cancerous and normal cells. It depresses the bone marrows and dehydrates, causing anemia. It depresses the gastro-intestinal tract, resulting in constipation. It causes damage to major organs of the body – liver, heart, lungs, kidney, spleen etc. It ironically weakens the immune system which the body needs for healing. And it causes hair loss (alopecia), just to mention a few of the adverse effects of chemotherapy. It is well known that chemotherapy causes secondary cancers.

Cancerous Tumors in the bones are mostly the result of cancers that originated elsewhere in the body, like the breast, prostate and lungs, and have metastasized to the bones. Patients who have been treated conventionally, especially for breast cancer, prostate cancer and lung cancer, quite often find that their cancers have metastasized to the bones. Because of its evidently poor outcome, therefore, there is so much fear associated with chemotherapy. Chemotherapy produces more cancers. According to the Journal of the National Cancer Institute (May 1995), the use of chemotherapy increases the risk of bone, joint and soft tissue cancer by six times. Experts from 14 Cancer Centers who studied 10,000 cases also found that patients who take chemotherapy for Hodgkin’s disease are 14 times more likely to develop Leukemia. According to leading British Cancer Specialists, the cancer from which most people die – the big killers like breast, colon and lung cancer – generally do not respond to chemotherapy. Several studies point to the fact that chemotherapy has no survival value in breast cancer. The prestigious British medical journal, The Lancet, reports that survival may even be shortened in some breast cancer patients who receive chemotherapy. (The Lancet, 15 March 1980, p580). Radiotherapy is a source of free radicals that can damage DNA and predispose the body to cancers. According to Samuel S. Epstein, M.D, both chemotherapy and radiation can increase the risk of developing a secondary cancer by up to 100 times (Congressional Record, September 9, 1987).

Surgery involves effort to remove cancerous tumors with the knife, which often results in mutilation of the affected parts, recurrence of tumor or even metastasis (spreading) thereafter. Surgical removal of a lump in the breast (lumpectomy) or total removal of the breast (mastectomy) and the removal of the axillary nodes can result in lymphedema – swollen arm and hand – often worsened by attendant numbness and excruciating pain.

Radiotherapy similarly kills both cancerous and normal cells with the use of radiation. Radiation poisoning also causes organ damage as well as burns and scars. This includes external beam radiation therapy and brachytherapy, in which radioactive material sealed into pellets, rods, catheters or wires is put inside the prostate. Radiation of the prostate and its surrounding areas often causes gastrointestinal toxicity. Cancer Communication Newsletter has come out strongly against mainstream media for dangerously distorting the facts about the conventional procedure, which includes failure to disclose the hazardous side effects of radiation in prostate cancer treatment. According to the Cancer Communication Newsletter, radiation therapy (brachytherapy) – implanting of radiation seeds in the prostate gland – given routinely for early signs of prostate cancer can actually hasten the development of the cancer. In less than 2 months after radiation treatment, prostate cancer cells can double, while unradiated cancer cells may take an average of 4 years to double.

OUR ALTERNATIVE APPROACH

WE ARE TOP NOTCH CANCER DOCTORS

Since the long-held assumption about cancer and cancer treatment is flawed, and the toxic methods based on these assumptions are often ineffective and destructive to the immune system, our alternative approach is a departure from this model. Our treatment program is individualized, designed to support and enhance the body’s natural defenses against cancer. It includes dietary and lifestyle modification, detoxification, psychotherapy, supplements, enzymes, botanicals, special non-toxic substances and special immune-modulating substances. This accords with current practices in leading cancer clinics in North America, Europe and parts of Asia where cancer of all types are cured.
