Alternative Treatments for Cancer (2)
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)
almost never cures cancer, he said. But it can improve the overall odds of cure, enhance recovery, increase efficacy of chemotherapy and radiation, reduce side effects of treatment, prolong survival, enhance quality of life, and, possibly, prevent recurrences. He believes that the best chance for cure lies in the combination of both Western and Chinese medicine. Its like buying an extra lottery ticket, he said, I believe in a multi-pronged approach. The four pillars of TCM are herbs, acupuncture, massage, and Qigong.
A self-described strong proponent for an evidence-based approach to alternative cancer treatment, Dr. Chang said, Many studies in China show that herbs can improve survival of patients undergoing chemotherapy. And many Chinese herbs show anti-cancer properties. For example, some contain polysaccharides, which have been shown in studies to have anti-cancer effects. Acupuncture has been shown in well-conducted studies to be an effective preventive for the nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy and pregnancy. The side effects of chemotherapy are highly toxic, whereas, the side effects of herbal medicine are mild.

Alternative Treatments for Cancer
The keys to our inherent health and healing are vital to invoke for true healing to be able to occur. In The Journal of Clinical Oncology, in an article entitled “Must We Kill to Cure?,” it was noted that “the host response that is, the patient’s immune response] is critical and determines long term survival.” What are these inherent keys? Well, as noted, the immune system is the most critical key, And this vast system relies on many other keys: spiritual focus, a solid nutritional strategy, a sound endocrine system, relaxation approaches and stress reduction, and eliminating toxic loads to our bodies and minds. No wonder embarking on a path to heal from cancer is typically so life changing!Since there is no single, consistent definition of alternative medicine in the published literature or in the mind of the public, the researchers based their survey on the “domains” of alternative medicine described by the National Institutes of Health’s National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine. To streamline the survey process, the researchers collapsed the domains into three subgroups: — alternative providers (such as acupuncturists, massage therapists,naturopathic doctors or homeopathic physicians);
– dietary supplements (vitamin, mineral, herbal or other supplements,
such as shark cartilage); and
– “other” therapies (diet or physical activity; mental and spiritual
therapies such as prayer, meditation and support groups; and energetic interventions such as crystals and magnets).
Patients were considered a user of alternative medicine if they received care from an alternative provider within the past year or had used at least one alternative supplement or therapy.

The cancer problem at the cell (molecular) level has been largely solved by Mirko Beljanski, Serbian born molecular scientist at the Pasteur’s Institute (France) and other labs in the 70′s and 80′s.
His work has been published in 133 research papers and is still largely ignored by most scientists for reasons that have nothing to do with science.
The challenge of the cancer cell must be met on three different levels. First, cancer cell multiplication must be selectively arrested without injury to normal cells. Second, competence of the immune system must be protected and/or restored for an active local and whole body defence. The third necessity concerns enzymes whose activity escapes normal biological regulation (this may be a cause or a consequence of cancer) and contributes to disease development.
