I don't know anyone who has opted for this kind of treatment before and I can't say if this method is more effective than the traditional. But I can say that it is worth trying out.KRay93 wrote: ↑01 Jan 2019, 12:24 Recently, my mother was diagnosed with a type of cancer known as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and during the last month, she has received several doses of chemotherapy. Being a person who is usually in motion, whether doing housework or other activities, it is shocking to see her so listless and weak as a result of such treatment. However, none of us are very open to considering a type of non-conventional treatment, apart from the fact that she can still enjoy several more years of life if this whole process proves successful.
In this book, the daughter of Dr. Mirko Beljanski exposes the journey of several decades of his father in search of alternative treatments for cancer (which includes new perspectives around genes, mutations, the relationship between emotional and environmental toxins and the destabilization of DNA, the effects of certain substances on hormone-dependent cancers, and the significance of cancer stem cells among others), even having worked to extend the life of French President Francois Mitterand beyond what his doctors expected.
At the same time, both Beljanski and his wife were found guilty of illegal practice of pharmacy, regardless of some irregularities in the judicial process and the relentless persecution against them by corporations and the government. Considering the research exposed in Beljanski daughter’s book and contrasting it with the almost unanimous acceptance of conventional treatments in the scientific community, do you believe that the alternative options depicted in Winning the War on Cancer could be more effective than the traditional ones? Do you know someone who has opted for this kind of treatment? How was their experience?

I agree with you.briellejee wrote: ↑02 Jan 2019, 00:16 I am very sorry for the diagnosis for your mom. It is indeed painful to see them go through it. I have lost loved ones to cancer, and I have ones who survived. You and your mom are in my prayers. As to answer your question, I think for now we cannot say it is fully effective compared to the traditional one, like chemo. It could be a helping hand, that, I know for sure, but being more effective is something I cannot say it. However, I have read papers and learned about people doing it like Dr. Beljanski and his daughter, and the results are somehow promising; but it still yet to be known.

Hence, whilst we should be open to new and unconventional forms of medicine, we do need to ask ourselves if the risks involved are worth the potential benefits.

While I do believe that alternative methods of cancer treatment could prove to be successful, there is little research to support them. I do think that there is benefit in exploring them, but if you know chemotherapy and radiation will work in curing your cancer, then I would most likely pursue them. The thing with cancer is that it affects each individual differently. While chemo may work for one person, alternative methods may work for another.KRay93 wrote: ↑01 Jan 2019, 12:24 Recently, my mother was diagnosed with a type of cancer known as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and during the last month, she has received several doses of chemotherapy.

It really makes you wonder if this butchery is truly the way to go. But it can be dangerous trying the holistic path, because there are plenty of snake oil merchants out there who don't mind killing you to take your money.
These types of books helps by informing people and opening perspectives. Some of these remedies can actually be helpful, but I don't know if I would completely discard the traditional path in their favor.
