I have a relative who is suffering from kidney cancer stage IV. He has undergone 5 cycles of chemo but then stopped because the chemo was making him so weak. Has anyone tried Alternative Medicine and which improved the health of a cancer patient?

I am not sure if it is in the Philippines, but here in the United States, there is a hospital called Cancer Treatment Center of America. They combine traditional medicines with holistic and natural medicines. My uncle went there for intestinal cancer stage four and he is in remission now so it would be worth checking into if these hospitals are in the Philippines too or not.

I am sorry to hear that story. My mom has stage IV Lung cancer as well and so far we have tried both the alternative as well as the current medicines we are taking in. So far we have been able to prolong her life since she is 8 years alive and is still strong. But unfortunately the tumor still exist and is just not growing but anytime that medication would stop it could worsen.

Please try to give him a fruit of guyabano,either blended of just mixed with honey and and let him eat it.His body is just like having 3 chemotherapy in one dose.Please give it to him everyday to ensure his healing is continued.Give him also a drink of tea made from dried leaves of guyabano,if likened add the fruit coverings from the peeled guyabano fruit to ensure his healing could be achieved effectively.You could also used the concoction of lemon grass(tanglad)--3 glasses of water only to used to boil the tanglad and let it be cooled off and also let him drink it also everyday.I wish I have help you and your relative be healed soon.

You do not need to force him to eat and drink it because it is good for the body.The taste of the fruit is already a welcoming one for one to take it.He will surely like it.

Hi Heaven, I don't know in which country you and your relative are living but I heard that in my country India you can find aayurvedhic medicine for cancer, which is more effective than chemo, I am sorry I don't know correct address, but you can find these aayurvedhic centers in Kerala state.

Yes, I have read about some ayurvedic treatments, but like almost all alternative cures, medical science tend to ignore and much worse they consider them as quackery, just because there is no scientific study to prove their effectiveness to humans. I'm from the Philippines where a sick person is charged from every ball of cotton, test strips, medical plasters, and all medicines used by a patient. Tough life, but my relative is determined to fight his disease, and somehow would like to prove that there is a better route than radiation and chemo.

But I am sure your relative will find correct treatment India, first search if any in your country, because ayurvedic treatment is more trustable and many people cured by this.

I am not sure with this .. But have you heard Tahitian Noni? I heard a testimonial about a woman had been dying and almost die soon - and when she drank tahitian noni 4 bottles a day - she was saved by her cancer. I don't know it will work on you, but it worked well on my CMV :) I hope it works on you too..
