if you were diagnosed with any type of Cancer, would you follow the crowd and take the Chemotherapy, or would you find out about alternative Natural treatments?

chemotheraphy won't be my best bet. sure it can kill cancer cells... but only after the second or third session. by then it has done more damage to the good cells... as chemotheraphy does not differentiate the good cells from the cancer cells.
i'm doing herbal these days. i believe in the natural way of healing. if that won't be enough, then i'd seek more help.
cancer cells do exist in us already. it's just our lifestyle contributing to the factors that may worsen and increase the growth of cancer cells in our body.
goodness knows there are so many food and food supplements that help keep cancer away. i do believe that prevention not only is better than cure, it also tastes better.

Thanks for your post.
I agree with you, prevention is far better and easier than the cure.
If we could only get fresh chemical free fruit and vegetables and hormone free meat, I'm sure it would save a lot of the medical problems we are getting these days.
I think Stress is also a big factor with the jobs and traffic that we face every day as well, although there is not much we can do about that.

healthy lifestyle and stress-free environment would definitely be ideal... however reality is, it can be available with a high price.
i think that's what food supplements are for... to give aid for when we have something lacking in our healthy diet and to help relieve stress.

yeah, i know someone who's been sick for several years and that her medical prescription keeps on changing because she's not improving really... we actually thought of telling her to change her doctor.

Chemotherapy is not the best but a better alternative to anything available including whatever promises natural treatments make. They have yet to categorically say that there is such and such cure for cancer in ayurveda for exammple.

Well if I had Cancer, I would be straight on the internet to do research I alrwady have quite a few sites bookmarked which I am sure are much safer and less dangerous and effective than Chemo.
Just one is a simple thing like wheat grass.

We hardly come across cancer hospitals run by those who believe in natural therapies. Although even I have faith in aloe vera but would not be confident to recommend it to anybody with confidence. I was a distributor for aloe vera products and do believe that whereas they do help but not to the extent that I can do it with confidence.

Thanks Allknowing.
Cancer Hospital I think are there to TREAT and not to CURE, that is the difference,
Yes I use Aloe Vera , in fact I won't use any other toothpaste for instance, Sure, it is more expensive at first, but as we only need a touch on the end of a toothbrush it lasts 6 times longer than ordinary toothpaste and tastes bettr.
The real need is for Medical centres to resarch on why the cancer gets there in the first place, but they concentrate on the ways to treat it as there is a lot more money in that direction.
Once cured the money stops coming in.

chemotherapy is more scientific and alternative treatment is more peaceful and sometimes useful as well. I suppose I would go for alternative, since they are there for a reason and if one can maintain a "natural" life, once can remain healthy i suppose -- that's what the Chinese people call "natural harmony". Simply means that if one can maintain a balanced rhythm with the nature then the person is meant to be healthy.
That includes eating what's abundant in the season, what the nature has to offer naturally; drinking non caffinated drinks, but only pure boiled clean water, etc

Bluemoon4ever, thank you for your comments.
I agree, the more we can abide by the Natural rhythm of things, the healthier we will be.
Drinking clean water is a lot more healthy than the Soda type drinks and coffee and tea.
I'm not sure I would like to drink boiled water though.

there are researches that show that natural remedy can cure and lessen the cancer cells.
yes, chemotherapy can help but if there is a natural way to cure cancer, why not?
