Alternative Treatments For Cancer
Many cancer patients will at some point in time wonder if there are any alternative treatments for cancer. These thoughts come
1. If one is experiencing intolerable side effects due to orthodox medical treatments
2. If one is faced with the potential for massive bills that are bound to be incurred in the process of trying to cure the cancer - from expensive investigations, from surgery, from radiation or from chemotherapy.
3. If one has been newly diagnosed with cancer and does not have faith in orthodox medicine, having heard horror stories of complications or side effects from the usage of orthodox treatment.
4. If one has gone through extensive treatments, and the doctors have given up hope and told the patient to go home and wait for his time.
5. If one has been diagnosed as having extensive cancer already long before any treatment options are discussed.
Practitioners of mainstream medicine do not believe that alternative treatments for cancer actually work to cure the cancer because, in their opinion, there is no scientific proof. However it is believed that alternative medicine can help alleviate symptoms such as anxiety, nausea, lethargy, insomnia, pain and stress. It is recommended that patients with cancer use alternative treatments for cancer as a supplement to their conventional methods of treatment, rather than as a substitute.
Broadly, the alternative treatments for cancer are:
Acupuncture
