Alternative Medicine Cancer Treatments
74
I'm not going to claim that ALL alternative medicine cancer treatments are scams. They aren't. But I am going to claim that MANY of the alternative medicine cancer treatments really ARE scams because many of them are.
Desperation makes people vulnerable. They begin to clutch at straws. Any hope is better than no hope. And that's the place that many cancer patients and their families get to. That position of desperation makes them easy pickings for bottom-feeding scam artists. Here's the rule to live by no matter how desperate you and your family may be; "IF IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT ISN'T TRUE!"

There is no magic water. There is no magic potion. There is no magic formula for curing cancer. If there were, it would be shouted from the housetops. It wouldn't be a "secret." AND it would be made available to cancer patients at as reasonable cost as possible.
Now, that is not to say that there are no alternative medicine disciplines that can't help treat cancer. There are. Acupuncture CAN relieve pain. That's proven. Acupuncture doesn't cure cancer, but it can make life more bearable. Chiropractic adjusting doesn't cure cancer, either, but such adjustments can relieve pain and stress.
There are herbal medications that can be used rather than prescription medications. None of them cure cancer either.
Aromatherapy can also make live better for cancer patients. Massage with an essential oil in carrier oil can relieve tension and promote well being. The same is true of aromatherapy delivered by candles and added to bath water.
Yoga and other meditation and relaxation therapies can also add a sense of calm for cancer patients.
None of these techniques cure cancer singularly or together. Someday we'll have a treatment that does cure cancer, and maybe even one that prevents cancer, but it isn't here yet.

Eissac tea works well on cancer in many forms also, in it's orignal formula(make it at home,not any other form). My friend had a brain tumors, tumors on spine & all went away completely in about 6-7 wks. Doctors answer was tumors don't leave but he had no more tumors! What an explanation! Most Doctors won't admit to natural cures! God has placed things on this earth for our healing!
That hasn't been my experience.
Cancer is no match for freshly grated herbs. It's not even hard to get rid of cancer if no FDA approved methods have been used first.
I'm with Kelley on this one. He's living proof and there are many others having the same experience.
Oh, how depressing, when the truth is that there are many wonderful natural alternative remedies for cancer which work. I beat my breast cancer with mets to the lymph with an alternative remedy, so to say that this helps and that helps but none of it really cures is quite negative and would not inspire a newly diagnosed cancer patient to persue life-saving alternative treatments. God knows medical treatments have a shocking success rate but they seem to get away with it, no questions asked.
