Cancer TreatmentThere are many ways to treat cancer.
In fact, when you enter “cancertreatments” into any web browser you will find millions of web sites on howto treat cancer. Some examples of these treatments are chemotherapy, oxygentherapy, vitamin D therapy, food therapy, immunotherapy, and many others. Certain types of therapies go with certain types of cancers. For example,vitamin D therapy goes with breast cancer and immunotherapy goes with coloncancer. Cancer has taken the lives of millions of people and I believe it isimportant to inform people of what treatments are circulating in the medicalprofession. The human genome project’s goal is to map and sequence the tens ofthousands of genes that make up the human genome (Johnson 222).
The project issponsored jointly by the National Institutes of Health and the Department ofEnergy and has an expected cost of 3 billion dollars (Johnson 222). The projectmakes genetic diseases its focus. Over 500,000 people die each year because ofcancer (Johnson 222). The genome project will be able to identify harmfulhereditary genes such as cancer and eliminate them. Thus, cancer can beprevented and people will live longer.
Oxygen therapy uses the fact that thecancer virus is anaerobic (Gallcci 2). All this means is that cancer can onlylive through the absence of oxygen. There have been many cancer patients whohave been cured by oxygen therapy (Gallcci 2). As a matter of fact, exposure tooxygen will kill most cancers completely (Gallcci 3). In 1931 Dr.
Otto Warburgwas awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine for his discovery that the cause ofcancer is a lack of oxygen at the cellular level (Gallcci 2). Scientists haveextracted air from bubbles preserved in fossilized amber; when that air wasanalyzed it contained 38 percent oxygen (Gallcci 3). This is very importantbecause the air which we breathe at the moment has an average oxygen content of21 percent or less (Gallcci 3). A human being cannot survive at 7 percent oxygenor lower. A procedure used to increase the level of oxygen in the body is theuse of hydrogen peroxide or H202 (Gallcci 3).
When hydrogen peroxide is added tothe body, the H202 transforms into H20 and oxygen (Gallcci 4). The oxygen atomthen attaches to a cell, and levels of oxygen go up immediately. Only food gradehydrogen peroxide can be used. Then once it has been diluted it can be givenintravenously, absorbed through the skin, or ingested (Gallcci 4).
Your doctorwill not tell you about this process; that is, an American doctor will not. Onereason is that there is no cash incentive for the medical industry to promoteit. In other countries such as Germany, Russia, and Cuba it will cost around tenU. S. dollars (Gallcci 4).
Vitamin D therapy can lower the risk of getting breastcancer up to 30% (Smith 16). A study on nearly 5,000 women found this to betrue. Similarly, women who lived in sunny climates had a much lower risk ofgetting breast cancer (Smith 16). The answer to this phenomenon is vitamin D,which is produced by the skin when it is exposed to sunlight. For the fulltreatment to take effect doctors recommend exposure to direct sunlight for about10 to 15 minutes (Smith 17). There is a cure formula for organ cancers.
Canceris caused by a certain parasite (Beckwith 2). It takes 60 days to kill theparasites which cause organ cancer (Beckwith 3). Once the cancer is killed itcan take as long as 180 days to return to normal health (Beckwith 2). Evidencefor this parasite has been uncovered in every type of cancer known to man(Beckwith 3).
Over 100 cases of organ cancer were cured using this herbalformula (Beckwith 2). This herbal method of curing cancers is not supported atall by United States doctors for a couple of reasons. For one, the practitionersof this herbal therapy disregard scientific facts. They do not believe that lungcancer is caused by smoking, colon cancer is caused by a low roughage diet,retinal blastoma is caused by a rare heritited gene, and pancreatic cancer iscaused by alcohol consumption (Beckwith 4). Also, many of the people which havegone on these herbal diets have died.
So, there is a much higher chance ofsomeone dying from using the herbal treatment than having their cancer cured byit. This treatment’s effectiveness also varies on the person’s immune system(Beckwith 3). If it is a strong immune system he/she may be cured, but if theperson’s immune system is weak their cancer condition may become worse. Apositive mental attitude is a cancer treatment which applies to all types ofcancer. Medical doctors estimate that 70 percent of all illnesses arepsychosomatic or stress induced (Hurt 5).
It is important for cancer patients tobelieve that every therapy they use is doing them good. This belief will affecttheir entire body (Hurt 5). The more positive a person feels, the better theirbody feels, the quicker they heal. A positive mental attitude will boost apatient’s immune system and will get them through rough times of their illness(Hurt 5). Dr.
Cleve Backster, a world famous authority on lie detectors,connected his galvanometer to a plant and watched the recorder needle register aresponse when he threw live shrimp into boiling water. He proved that one cannotconduct an experiment while thinking of them as experiments, since theexperiment’s thoughts affect the outcome of the experiment (Hurt 5). Hedemonstrated that not only plants but also a person’s own cells are highlyresponsive to what people think (Hurt 5). Radiation therapy may kill the cancercells in your body, but simultaneously it is damaging your body.
It fact,radiation will shorten your life (Livingston 9). Since radiation therapy usesradiation to kill the cancer cells it weakens your body’s immune system whilekilling the cancer (Livingston 9). Also, when radiation therapy is in effect itwill damage other organs in your body depending on where the cancer is in yourbody (Livingston 13). My grandmother had undergone radiation therapy and itdestroyed all the cells in her bone.
Because of this the bone died. A physicianin San Francisco, Dr. Collin H. Dong, told America that, “Radiation anddrugs only make a battlefield out of your body.
And when was the last time yousaw anything beautiful growing on the battlefield (Livingston 13)?” Thisgoes with radiation therapy because while it may be killing the tumor in yourbody it is also weakening your immune system. This makes the termination of thetumor only temporary, and you are prone to having another tumor or the same onegrow back in its place (Livingston 9). Only 15 percent of 10,000 patients arehelped by radiation therapy (Livingston 13). The immunotherapy program wasdeveloped by Dr.
Virginia Livingston (244). This treatment is very effective anddoes not damage your body in the process. Eighty-two percent out of 10,000cancer patients have been helped by immunotherapy (Livingston 244). Proper diet,vaccines, and vitamins are used in immunotherapy (Livingston 13). Besidestreatments such as surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy; immunotherapy will notweaken your immune system and will not shorten the life span of the patient(Livingston 245).
Dr. Virginia Livingston believes that a strong diet equals astrong immune system (Livingston 13). The vaccines used are autogenous. Thismeans that the vaccine is made up of specific microbes which pertain to thepatients own body fluids and or tumors (Livingston 246). This customization ofvaccine treatments is highly effective.
Vitamins A, C, and E as well as othernutrients are given to the patient as well in order to boost up the patient’simmunity (Livingston 244). The most important part of immunotherapy is thepatient’s diet (Livingston 13). It involves many recipes and foods which can bebought at any food store. Immunotherapy is a very effective a safe treatment forall cancers. Food therapy is a lot like immunotherapy.
Food therapy uses onlyhealthy foods in their program, while immunotherapy incorporates vaccines andvitamin treatments. Dr. Donald Germann wrote his book The Anti-Cancer Diet withcancer prevention in mind but it can also be used as a treatment (23). Hebelieves that if you do not eat foods without chemicals and contaminants, youcan increase your chances of not getting cancer at all (Germann 15). He alsobelieves that a healthy lifestyle incorporated with exercise will avoid yougetting cancer (Germann 34). It is best to start the food therapy process beforeyou get cancer, but the food therapy treatment can help your immune system fightcancer if you already have it.
Intensity-modulated radiation therapy is the newtechnologically advanced way for treating cancer using radiation therapy (Hurt3). This new way of treating cancer was discovered by Beverly Oncology andImaging Centers (Hurt 3). The system is state-of-the-art and enables doctors totreat life-threating cancers such as brain cancer without surgery (Hurt 4). Itis acclaimed to treat multiple brain tumors in a single pass of the machine(Hurt 5).
The machine can focus on areas of the head and neck without damagingthe paraotid gland (Hurt 5). Because of this the radiation can be focusedprecisely on an area without damaging the rest of the body. The machine uses anaccurate dosage of 10,000 converging beams of photons or “x-rays” persession (Hurt 5). Unlike other medical devices used by physicians to treatcancer with radiation, the intensity modulated cancer machine uses a computer toform over 5,000 possible ways to treat the tumor in the person’s body (Hurt 6). This is good because of its accuracy. Now, instead of a physician making aneducated guess on where to use an x-ray machine on a patient’s body they canaccurately pinpoint where they want the radiation to go using a computer (Hurt6).
For a patient who is undergoing this new radiation treatment, a physicianwill tell them the amount of sessions they will have to take. The sessions rangeanywhere from 1 to 28 sessions (Hurt 4). The actual treatment session usuallytakes less than 30 minutes (Hurt 5). The system has been approved by the FDA(Hurt 2).
This system involves a much safer way of using radiation treatmentrather than using old fashioned and now outdated radiation therapy (Hurt 6). Thedevice used is also a lot more patient friendly because it does not use screwsto secure a patient’s skull (Hurt 6). This radiation treatment is the way totreat cancer for the 21st century. Cancer treatments are increasing everyday. There are so many of them that is important to find out which ones are safe andwhich ones are not. This is very important because the patient does not want tomake his/her time of treating the cancer successfully any shorter than italready is.
Statistics show that one out of every four people in the UnitedStates will become infected with cancer (Livingston 18). That is a very largeratio. Also, 500,000 people die each year of cancer (Johnson 222). Perhaps oneday there will be a cure for all types of cancers and we will not be plagued bythis killer. Until that day we should use only those cancer treatments which arehealthy and do not hurt the immune system.
