Alternative cancer therapies that are good medicine!
Millions of cancer patients go through chemotherapy in hopes of
eliminating this disease. However, the chemotherapy takes a definite
toll on your energy. The fact that patients lose their hair as a
result of this process certainly speaks to the profound side effects
of the therapy. Sometimes, the patient is virtually cured, going into
remission for many years. In other cases, chemotherapy and
conventional medications don’t work, leaving the patient in a hopeless
emotional state, not knowing what else can be done. Alternative
medicine approaches disease in a ‘whole body’, or holistic strategy.
There are many avenues to explore in the world of natural medicine.
Here are just a few ways you might look in to, treating your condition
with alternative cancer therapies.
Alternative cancer therapies work from the premise that the entire
body must be strengthened, cleansed and supported in order to rid the
body of the cancer. There are many herbs which can bring dramatic,
successful results.
Essiac tea is perhaps one of the most famous alternative cancer
therapies. Essiac tea is a combination of herbs used by Native
American and Canadian tribes as a cancer remedy for centuries. In the
late 1800s, a Canadian nurse learned of this herbal mixture and began
to dispense it to cancer patients who had been deemed ‘incurable’.
This alternative cancer therapy met with remarkable success, saving
the lives of a majority percentage of her patients. So great was her
cure rate, that this combination of herbs is still available in any
good herb shop, sold under the name of Essiac tea. You can find
detailed information on the net, consult with a qualified herbalist or
naturopathic physician.
Some years ago, a large Russian study was conducted, using beet juice
as the single agent with which to attempt a cancer cure. The cure
rate was astonishingly high. The main problem was that the cleansing
effect of the beet juice was so thorough, that some patients could not
ingest sufficient quantities as a beverage, due to feeling feverish
and ill. While this study was rather obscure, it’s odd that it didn’t
receive more publicity as an alternative cancer therapy. Today, you
can purchase a concentrated, powdered form of beet root, so it’s not
necessary to drink gallons of beet juice! Again, consult an herbal
professional to work with you on establishing a therapeutic dose.
Both burdock root and dandelion root are heavy-duty blood cleansers
without heavy-duty side effects. Remember, everything you can do to
help flush toxins from your body helps strengthen your entire system.
Dandelion root is a powerful liver cleanser. My grandmother, diagnosed
with liver cancer, began using dandelion root on a daily basis. She
told me she ?felt like a million dollars? while taking it. Several
months later, her physician could find no evidence of her liver
cancer. He had recommended against chemotherapy, due to her age. He
had no explanation for her cure. I know, first hand, that this is an
alternative cancer therapy that can work.
Elecampane root is an absolute miracle worker for the respiratory
system. In addition to being a natural antibiotic, it cleans, tones
and restores function to the respiratory system. A small portion of
Pleurisy root is sometimes added to the combination, depending on your
particular condition.
Echinacea root strengthens and tones the immune system, which can be
especially important if you’re undergoing chemotherapy.
Be sure to consult a naturopathic physician before embarking on any
herbal alternative cancer therapies. These physicians are
knowledgeable about possible interactions with any medications you
might be taking. There’s a lot of good medicine in the plant world.
Take care! Look into your alternatives!
