Alternative Cancer Treatments

THIRD EDITION - UPDATED AND EXPANDED "Outsmart Your Cancer" is an in-depth alternative treatment guide that could save your life. It explodes the myths about alternative cancer treatments and presents more than twenty approaches that are non-toxic along with dozens of real-life cases from people who used these approaches to completely recover from a variety of cancers, many of which were in late stages. In this updated and expanded Third Edition, all the resources have been updated and new key information has broadened the scope of the book-including new sections on the Ketogenic diet for cancer, on using the natural plant compound "Paw Paw" to obliterate multidrug-resistant cancer cells, and on how you might be able to cure your dog or cat with cancer. Plus, critical information is presented on what men and women need to know about hormone-blocking drugs, the real truth about DCIS breast cancer (Is it really cancer?), what a man's PSA count really means, and whether he is better or worse off if he takes a testosterone-blocking drug, as well as how to evaluate conventional claims of efficacy for toxic treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation. Highly esteemed doctors and scientists are quoted regarding the scientific basis behind each approach and extra information has been included regarding the amazing liquid formula called "Protocel" with new recent Protocel recovery cases added. This book completely demystifies cancer and makes it clear why non-toxic approaches are often more effective at bringing about complete cures than toxic ones. There are two very different worlds of cancer treatment today - conventional and alternative - and it can be difficult to understand what one's best treatment options might be and why. This book will help you make a much more fully informed treatment decision!

Alternatives in Cancer Therapy offers help for all patients coping with cancer. The therapies discussed in this book are primarily non-toxic, have few, if any, side effects, and tend to strengthen the immune system.

Patients have a right to know all of their treatment options, and Dr. Ross Pelton presents dozens of choices, including: * Shark Cartilage * Gerson Therapy * Mistletoe * Isoprinosine * Laetrile * Selenium * Beta-Carotene * Hydrogen Peroxide * Vitamins C and E * The Hoxsey Treatment Non-traditional therapies can enhance the quality of life, and improve overall health while treating the disease. Alternatives in Cancer Therapy provides information on the research, efficacy, potential side effects, and availability of each treatment.

So when do you think theyll finally figure out how to cure cancer? This simple question posed during dinner one evening sparks a conversation that will change the lives of four lifelong friends forever. What starts as a simple discussion about the high cost of cancer and the merits of early detection quickly evolves into a much deeper and more informed dialogue about the benefits of complementary cancer therapies. Sam, a New York City holistic practitioner, has decades of alternative medicine experience to share with his best friend, Mike, and their wives. He can talk knowledgeably about a variety of topics, ranging from how to prevent cancer, boost your immune system naturally, and avoid environmental toxins to what vitamins, nutrients, and hormones can best support cancer management. From a functional medicine perspective, Sams position is clear. Complementary cancer treatments are just thatways to complement traditional therapies such as chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. Because they address the root cause of patients problems, holistic approaches are a whole-body, medically sound way of managing this very insidious and painful disease. Could alternative cancer treatments work for you?

Integration of complementary and alternative medicine therapies (CAM) with conventional medicine is occurring in hospitals and physicians offices, health maintenance organizations (HMOs) are covering CAM therapies, insurance coverage for CAM is increasing, and integrative medicine centers and clinics are being established, many with close ties to medical schools and teaching hospitals. In determining what care to provide, the goal should be comprehensive care that uses the best scientific evidence available regarding benefits and harm, encourages a focus on healing, recognizes the importance of compassion and caring, emphasizes the centrality of relationship-based care, encourages patients to share in decision making about therapeutic options, and promotes choices in care that can include complementary therapies where appropriate. Numerous approaches to delivering integrative medicine have evolved. Complementary and Alternative Medicine in the United States identifies an urgent need for health systems research that focuses on identifying the elements of these models, the outcomes of care delivered in these models, and whether these models are cost-effective when compared to conventional practice settings. It outlines areas of research in convention and CAM therapies, ways of integrating these therapies, development of curriculum that provides further education to health professionals, and an amendment of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act to improve quality, accurate labeling, research into use of supplements, incentives for privately funded research into their efficacy, and consumer protection against all potential hazards.
