Perhaps some of the most highly debated areas of modern medicine are alternative forms of treatment, in particular alternative cancer remedies. Alternative medications start with the premise that diseases are caused by imbalances in nature. When the body's defense mechanism is busy fighting a number of triggers simultaneously, it can miss some of the more dangerous signals in the array of signals demanding its attention. That enables cancer cells in particular and other pernicious elements in general to mask their existence and start proliferating rapidly.
With this premise as the benchmark, cancer alternative remedies seek to move away from the conventional treatment of the illness. Traditionally, cancer treatment, particularly treatment of breast cancer, is highly interventionist. In particular breast cancer is treated by surgically removing the entire infected mammary gland and much of the surrounding tissue. This is usually followed by cauterizing the area (radiation therapy) and rounded off with chemotherapy to prevent ...
... a relapse or any metastasis of the carcinoma.
Naturopathic treatments seek Nature's aid in managing and even combating cancer. This means that less invasive methods of cancer treatment ensure that the patient's quality of life is not seriously impaired. Very high doses of Vitamin C injected intravenously, not only act as chemotherapy for the cancerous cells, but also protect healthy cells. Other natural immune stimulants like certain herbs and even the oh-so-popular mango can serve as natural correctives for DNA errors (which cause cancer in the first place.)
Dietary methods can mean avoidance of food substances known to be carcinogenic like over-cooked and highly fried food. Increased intake of substances rich in beta carotenes and/or antioxidants, like carrots, can help prevent cancer or reduce chances of metastasis. Foods which are natural scrubbers of the system like fibrous foods help to remove free radicals within the body and thus reduce cancer risks.
But the method which is probably the most effective as a watchdog system to alert the body and the physician of probable DNA errors is thermography. Among alternative breast cancer treatments this screening method helps detect carcinomous activity within the body early on. Thermography helps indicate where there is increased flow of blood in the body ― symptomatic of an outbreak of cancerous cells. Cancer does not need to be life threatening. It can be cured if detected early on.
