Chemotherapy
can save lives but it is far from ideal and fails much more often than
it works. At best, it kills the cancer and doesn't end up killing the
person with it. At worst, (we thought) it just doesn't work. Well it
looks like, at least in some cases, we were wrong. A recent study has
actually shown that chemotherapy can sometimes make the very cancer it
is supposed to be "killing" grow more!
Here is the story:
What are the options? Well, the FDA has gone so far as to say that
NOTHING out there, not nutritional therapy,
not herbal medicine, NOTHING is allowed to legally be called a "treatment" for
cancer except conventional oncology treatments like chemo, surgery and
radiation.
So, any options one chooses can only be considered complementary.
OK then, what "complements" cancer treatment? Many things. All the
details go beyond the scope of this post, but we do know there is much
that can be done. I for one would utilize all that functional medical
diagnosis has to offer with any of my patients, to determine what areas their body is
"under-performing" or imbalanced and work to correct those things. For
example, many people have fairly significant genetic defects that
seriously undermine their body's normal detoxification mechanisms. I am
now using a number of new genetic tests in my office that can not only
help someone undergoing treatment for cancer, but also help identify
things that can be adjusted for, BEFORE any cancer develops. An ounce
of prevention, especially in this case, beats a pound of cure, especially
when that "cure" can actually make a cancer worse!!
