I have found information on alternative breast cancer treatments at
www.breastcancersearch.info and i was wondering if anyone had any outher information of interest, thankyou
My wife’s friend had breast cancer. She did not want to go through the traditional methods of curing it, so she tried alternative methods. At first she was at stage 1 breast cancer.
Well after a year, it did not leave, in fact it did the opposite it grew. She found out that it was now at stage 3 breast cancer. She realized that everything she tried did not work.
From energy work, massage, and prayer the cancer continued to grow.
Finally she realized that she had to do the traditional way or die. She went through chemotherapy, mastectomy, and radiation. That was seven years ago and she is doing well. In fact she was a great help when my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer.
We do some of the alternative work along with the traditional treatments. Some of them are “hands on energy healing”, massage, supplements (though a naturopathic doctor that was recommended by the hospital), and of course prayer.
We are satisfied that we have a great team of doctors helping us. They are our PRO BOWL Team of doctors that will help us kick cancer out of the ball park.
No. It’s important to remember that in this context ‘alternative’ is just another word for ‘unproven’. If any of these treatments had been proven to be effective against cancer, they wouldn’t be ‘alternative medicine’, they would just be ‘medicine’.
Please research thoroughly before you or anyone you know invests money, hope and – most dangerous of all for a cancer patient – time in ineffective and dangerous treatment.
Sadly wherever there is cancer there is an unscrupulous charlatan eager to separate desperate people from their cash for useless and sometimes dangerous ‘cures’.
Please be wary of ubsubstantiated testimonials, especially on the inernet; you have no way of knowing if the person ever had cancer in the first place, much less that they were ‘cured’.
If you are tempted by a particular alternative treatment, do a search on this site for some facts:http://www.quackwatch.org/index.html
It’s a quack site.
The breast cancer treatments that have been proven in many large, multi-center, randomized and generally double-blind clinical trials are surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy.
Nothing else is proven to work.
Many things recommended at that web site are actually counter-productive to the proven treatment methods.
What about the current conventional treatments is bothering you?
Internet sites may be false
-you should contact the medical college of alternative medicine
-Youshould have the condition that you willpay the money only if the disease cured
-You should not stop MBBS medicine
-You should lab test the contents of alternative medicine
-better if you make a group of people like you,than single
-Ther are two medical colleges nearby my city one MBBS and one alternative Ayurveda,(even one homeo college is there but i have not visited)research oriented lady doctor is the head there
-You can write e mails to me
I have been a “complementary” therapist for 30 years so, please, believe me that it’s in the name – by all means use complementary therapy which at the very least will bring relief from many symptoms and may be of real help but fix it in your mind that it’s complementary not alternative therapy – do both – I wish you well
I don’t know what you mean by alternative but I wouldn’t be taking any chances on anything other than the specialist at the hospital. I have had two lumpectomies and radiotherapy. The first in 2003 and the second in 2005. I have just been told I am cancer free at the moment.
yea i would not trust these. medical treatment is the best way and breast cancer is VERY serious. natural treatment means nothing-no treatment. you do nothing. your mental state thinks your improving but the cancer is still there. get treated medically.
My friend opted for some such treatment, afraid it didn’t work so I would not recommend them. The conventional treatments have excellent results.
