she's only 35 years old. at this point, it's inoperable, so they're beginning chemo on her tomorrow.
has anyone heard of a promising alternative treatment?
One place to begin is the web site of Dr. Lorraine Day.
Not having had cancer I cannot vouch from personal experience, but frankly Chemo is, in the long run, ineffective and destroys a person's immune system. It is by definition poison.
I took care of a chemo patient, my mother, for five years. I have seen what Chemo does to a person. In most cases it perhaps slows the cancer temporarily but at the expense of destroying the immune system. So, the solution is more and more drugs, and because the chemo also destroys nerve cells you have the onset of Peripheral Neuropathy, phantom nerve pain in the extremities, making the patient's life more and more miserable. No, chemo is ineffective, and when patients do get well the M.D.'s really have no clue why. They attribute it to the chemo, but there is no hard evidence to support that. It amounts to scientific wishful thinking - and profits for big Pharma.
I was told when my father was going through colon cancer that the chemo was to kill the cancer to the point of almost killing the patient, too. Didn't work in my fathers' case.
I'm sorry to hear that. The reality is that Chemo is over sold because it is profitable. There have been multiple lines of research that seemed to bear fruit, but they have been buried, along with a lot of patients, because they were not profitable for Big Pharma.
Big Pharma is not in the business of making people well. They are in the business of selling pharmaceuticals. The more they sell, the more they make. It is really quite simple. Just as there is no profit in sane for Psychiatrists, and big pharma, there is no profit in well. The profit is in endless treatment which requires more and more pharmaceuticals.
