Cancer Treatment: Helpful or Harmful?

[ingannilo]

I'm aware of a few cases where chemo/radiation therapy have done good for patients, but to say that there was any "long term improvement" is moot. Death being inevitable for all of us, and all that. Great information here, guys. Lots of stuff I didn't know!

As the person I am today, I would refuse chemo or radiation therapy if it came down to it, no doubt.

I have heard of it Artemesia annua I think "Sweet Annie"
It is a Chinese variety of wormwood and is a new excellent treatment for Maleria.
I haven't heard of its use in cancer.

There are many forms of cancer
Saying this or that is a cure is a bit like saying we have a cure for all colds which might include dozens of different bugs.

Different cancers also seem to have different hereditary/environmantal causes
eg
Colo-rectal cancer had a genetic effect of 35%, and environmental effect of 60%. So 35% of the variation in colo-rectal cancer was explained by genes.
The genetic contribution in breast cancer was 27% and the environmental was 67%.
