There are tantalizing hints that diet can play a role in cancer treatment. A small Japanese study published in 1998, for instance, found that breast cancer was about half as likely to recur or metastasize in women who drank four or more cups of green tea a day. Nevertheless, there's no solid evidence yet that any particular food or diet can cure cancer.

No. Some people with cancer, HIV/AIDS, and other diseases claim to experience relief from pain and other symptoms that they attribute to marijuana use. However, scientific research has not yet confirmed these benefits and more research on this topic is being done. What is known is that smoking marijuana can cause lung damage. No. Smoking can actually increase feelings of stress and nervousness.

I do not believe that the term "cure" should be used in association with cancer because we do not know its cause. Even with so-called "cures" (usually defined as five years without symptoms), utilizing conventional therapies, cancer often returns, even 10 or 15 years later. This can happen with cesium as well. What is possible, however, is to destroy cancerous cells and stop its progress.

Developing a cure for SLE is extremely difficult because we don't know what the cause is, and there are many aspects of the disease we don't understand very well. Therefore, research is extremely important. Your participation in studies such as ours is a great way to help. Some additional ideas for ways you can help are listed below: You can help us find additional families by telling other people that we are looking for families that have at least two members diagnosed with SLE.

Absolutely Not, if you take hgh and you have active cancer cells it could speed the cancer rate up and you could face serious injury to your health or in severe cases cause death. Always consult your physician before taking hgh.

No, there is as yet no identified herbal cure for cancer. However, one class of herbs called anti-mutagens help to neutralize carcinogens that have the ability to cause genetic mutations because these herbs are high in bioflavanoids, sulphur-containing molecules, and a variety of immune boosting agents. An example is Garlic.

Even though researchers are examining different agents, including vitamins, to see if they can help reduce a person's risk of lung cancer recurrence or enhance treatment, at this time, there is no evidence that high doses of vitamins can do so. You should consult your doctor before starting any dietary supplements.

Liquid zeolite is not approved as a drug, and so no claim can be made that it cures, treats, or prevents cancer or any other disease. It would be illegal to do so as well as irresponsible on the basis of the small studies that have been done to date. What we can say is that zeolite has a unique mechanism of action against cancer cells. Theoretically, it has the rare ability to take in a tremendous amount of positively charged toxins, indirectly neutralizing their effect in causing cancer.

It is not yet known whether Gleevec (STI571) will cure any form of cancer. It will take many years to answer that question. Top

Alternative medicine includes such non-traditional treatments as herbs, dietary supplements, and acupuncture. The way herbal treatments work and their long-term side effects usually are not known.

Cure of cancer depends upon stage at presentation as well as surgical technique and response to adjuvant therapy (chemotherapy and/or radiation) as indicated. Your surgeons are trained in specialized techniques to provide the best chance of cancer cure and work closely with medical and radiation oncologists to tailor therapy to the individual patient based upon cancer staging and tumor characteristics.

Foods slowly rebuild the body, which takes time. They do more than merely suppress symptoms while the underlying condition continues to worsen. Drugs usually mask symptoms, acting quickly. Drugs fail to address the cause of the disease. They are appropriate only for acute conditions and make sense to use only for the short term, while natural treatments which heal the cause, can be instituted. BACK TO TOP

I do. I often treat cancer with Iscador, an alternative and nontoxic therapy now widely used in Europe. Iscador is a medicine made from the lacto-fermented extract of fresh sap of the plant known as mistletoe (viscum album). (see the Iscador page for more info). I also sometimes use digitalis, turmeric, and a variety of natural and herbal medicines in a comprehensive cancer program. At the same time, I work with cancer patients on a specific nutrition plan to help enhance the healing process.

If you think about the way that ripples extend concentrically from a pebble tossed in a pond, you can imagine how the gamma radiation extends out from each seed. Seeds are strategically placed such that the radiation of each seed interact with that of other seeds in a manner that gives the optimal dose of radiation to the prostate while minimizing the radiation dose to the other body tissues.

The interest in acupuncture as a potentially useful adjunctive and complementary treatment for people with malignancy is growing.

CAM cannot claim to cure cancer. While some of the treatments available in orthodox or allopathic medicine can be difficult for the body to tolerate or assimilate, a CAM Practitioner cannot tell their client not to access medical care. What we can do is work alongside medical staff and also focus on quality of life issues. Many of our Practitioners support individuals touched by cancer, and some of our training providers provide specialist courses.

Yes. In addition, since fully one-third of cancer deaths each year are attributed to a poor diet, eating right is one of the most important things you can do to protect yourself. Start by loading up on fruits and vegetables. Studies show that people who eat the most produce run just half the cancer risk faced by people who eat the least.

We do not claim to have a cure for cancer, however we do have clients who have recovered from very difficult cancer situations. The cancer patient's attitude and will-to-live is as much a part of the healing process as the remedies and therapies they select.

No, but RFA can reduce the size of some tumors or completely eliminate them, increasing survivability rates in many instances. In other cases, RFA is used primarily to eliminate painful tumors and improve a patient's quality of life.

I don't believe any one thing is a 'cure'. A multi-faceted approach tuned to the needs of the patient is needed. We aren't machines you know. We are very complex organic/spiritual/mental human systems.

Some positive evidence comes from animal studies. More work must be done to confirm and extend these findings in both animals and humans.
