Cancer: Is Chemo and Radiation the Only Treatment?

Cancer is the 2nd leading cause of death in the United States taking up approximately 550,000 lives each year.  It is a multi-billion dollar industry.  Cancer costs roughly around $620 million dollars per day.  It costs over $219 billion dollars a year.  My question to you is, “Is this the only route to go?”  Is chemotherapy and radiation the only treatment option for cancer?  Research articles are coming out showing the statistics that chemo and radiation are only 5-10% effective.  In some cases, they state chemotherapy makes the cancer worse (Chemo makes cancer worse).  Some articles are stating that chemotherapy can increase tumor growth after the chemotherapy (Original Article).  To me, I find that having a treatment protocol of chemotherapy and radiation be the #1 choice for care for all individuals with cancer but what it ends up doing is more damage then good.  Individuals are now seeing people who go through chemotherapy have something called, “Chemo Brain.”  (More info: Original Article)  Chemo brain is something that was thought of being made up but science is now understanding that this is something of a reality to many chemotherapy patients.

My question to you is, since chemotherapy is such a strong acid (poison) to the body (roughly 2.0 pH – same level as the stomach), how much damage does this cause?  If cancer thrives in an acidic environment, how can this be good for a cancer patient?  Research shows time and time again that if you have an alkalized body, cancer cannot thrive in it.  What will it take for us to shift our mindsets and look for alternative ways.  My theory is, until enough people start shifting towards alternative healthcare solutions, this model will continue to grow and exist as the primary source.

The sad thing is, there are many individuals out there who help with cancer and do not harm the body in the process.  For more information, here is a movie and article about cancer and a treatment a Polish doctor created called, “Anti-Neoplasms.” (Movie and Article)  Dr. Burzynski is not the only doctor who has come up with a potential cure or what I like to call, “method,” to help the body heal itself.  To name a few others, Dr. Simoncini created a protocol using baking soda.  Since baking soda can alkalize the blood and the body, it has helped numerous individuals with cancer.  Here is a video of Dr. Simoncini talking about his protocols and how it works. (Dr. Simoncini -Italian Oncologist).  Another individual who has been helping many people with cancer is Rick Simpson who used cannabis oil to help heal his skin cancer.  Here is more information about his treatments. (Rick Simpson)  I can write on and on and on about individuals who are helping other individuals with cancer.  The truth is, there are many alternatives ways on how cancer can be treated.  Chemotherapy and radiation are not the only answer.  My recommendation to anyone is search options that you feel are best for you.  Never make a decision off fear and see all the avenues that are presented to you before making a decision.

My rule is, there is not one way to something.  Magic bullets do not exist but if you have the right mixture, anything is possible.  Do not let cancer be a death sentence.  The most spiritual lessons we find in our lives sometimes comes from experiencing a disease.  I want to share a video of someone who I know personally who had stage 4 cancer in the brain.  He is a chiropractor in Texas and his story on how he starting healing his body from the inside out.

Until next time, BE well…  LIVE well…  The CHOICE is yours…
