Re: Cancer Treatment: Helpful or Harmful?

Quote:
Unfortunately,it chemotherapy, radiation, and cuting the body parts are the only way for treatment.
Actually Aki, I recently came into contact with someone that did a drastic lifestyle change, and no other medical interventions., and the cancer was gone within 6 months. i've also read of this in a few different magazines, but it really seemed quite far-fetched to me before. of course, it makes sense, sort of what chenyu mentions...just going totally natural in regards to diet, clean air, lots of exercise, lots of water, stress reduction... i'm sure that stranger things have happened, but i think it's just fascinating what the body is capable of, don;t you>?
funny to write that as i sit here in bed with a hurt ankle, but i think that many times, medical intervention is unnecessary... i think that many times, docs treat symptoms insteadof causes, and are way too eager to give meds to mask pain instead of looking for a cause or cure. sorry, don't mean to soap-box... chalk it up to the drugs flowing through my veins right now...
before i stop though, i should clarify that i think medical science is incredible, and i'm not saying that doctors are bad, or that all research should stop, or that people with cancer shouldn't seek any possible course of treatment that they have available to them... i just strongly feel that sometimes, the solutions are as bad(if not worse) than the problem... and that after a proper diagnosis, people should be informed of every single option, not just the path of least resistance for the doctors...
nope, i'm not bitter about any medical treatment i (or any member of my family) has received. not bitter or skeptical at all... why do you ask?

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.
