My mother was diagnosed with cancer when I was a young child. They chose to go about it naturally. She is cancer free still to this day. I am not saying that conventional medicine does not have its place, and sometimes that is the exact best thing for the patient. Every person is different, consciences allow everyone a different approach to healing.

In my country, most alternative methods are considered frauds. I'm a skeptic myself as I've heard more people being cheated than being miraculously cured. People often rely on food, herbs, and exercise to prevent cancer rather than treat it. Most cancer patients would choose traditional medicine.

I definitely agree with you. I've also tried natural cures and they are truly beneficial and have nothing of the long-term side effects of traditional medicines.kandscreeley wrote: ↑02 Jan 2019, 11:23 I am using alternative treatments to treat myself. However, I do not have cancer. Traditional medicine has failed me. I tried everything that they offered with no relief. In desperation, I turned to natural medicines, and my life got 1000% better. However, I have seen lies about the herbs that I use. Flat out lies. Big pharma doesn't want you to know that there are natural cures out there that are MORE effective than theirs with LESS side effects. Why? Because they make BILLIONS of dollars. They can't patent natural medicine. They can't make money off of it. So, are there other treatments that will cure cancer? Yes! I'm positive of it.

THIS POST NEEDS ALL THE UPVOTE! I am clearly with you on this one. Alternative medicines may not work for all patients and it might give a side effect we all don't know about since it lacks a lot of research data on its effectiveness. Although, the book does state that this alternative medicine should be used during chemo. But still, I agree that it is irresponsible to give health advice online. If one does give advice, they should tell OP to ask doctors about it. Doctors studied a lot of years to know everything. You can't just believe anyone who used google. Thank you for voicing this out!M Zee wrote: ↑29 Jan 2019, 20:03 IT IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS AND IRRESPONSIBLE TO GIVE HEALTH ADVICE ONLINE WHEN YOU ARE NOT A MEDICAL DOCTOR OR TRAINED IN THE FIELD.
I completely feel for your family in this struggle, OP. And I want you to know that you are not alone. I don't feel that all alternative medicine should be discarded outright but I do think you should research everything responsibly and thoroughly before choosing certain treatments. They can be beneficial when used in tandem with traditional medicine.
Every patient has the right to choose their treatments BUT I really urge everyone not to abandon traditional medicine practices in favor of alternative practices that have not been fully tested and are based solely on anecdotal evidence without scientific proof.

I have no experience in dealing with it, but I have some interest in knowing more about it. Personally, I am totally against chemo, because of it's high numbera of side effects, and I prefer to think that it's doing more harm than good. Other alternatives may be welcomed, as long as they do not threat your health with a high number of side effects, as described in this book.
