As per so-called Advanced Medical Science well, established treatments are:
- Chemotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses drugs to kill cancer cells.
- Hormone therapy is a treatment that slows or stops the growth of breast and prostate cancers that use hormones to grow.
- Hyperthermia is a treatment in which body tissue is heated to as high as 113°F to help damage and kill cancer cells with some harm to normal tissues as well.
- Immunotherapy is a cancer treatment that helps the immune system fight cancer.
- Photodynamic therapy uses a light-activated drug to kill cancer and other abnormal cells.
- Radiation therapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses high doses of radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumours.
- Stem cell transplants restore stem cells that grow into blood cells in people who have had theirs destroyed by high doses of chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
- Surgery is a procedure in which a surgeon removes cancer from the body.
- Targeted therapy is a type of cancer treatment that targets the changes in cancer cells that help them grow, divide, and spread.
However, in our opinion, modern science has not yet been able to find a solution for this disease, and all these therapies have severe side effects, most importantly killing even healthy cells along with targeted ones. Cancer cells take up the needed space and nutrients that the healthy organs would use. As a result, the healthy organs can no longer function. For most people, complications from treatment of cancer can cause death. Even otherwise, with these treatments, the root cause of behavioral changes in cells is not checked, which could have stopped abnormal behavior of new cells, and thus, chances of recurrences of cancer are left behind. With all these treatments, life can be saved only for a few years. Had the patient not undergone these therapies and would have gone without treatment, perhaps they would have survived a few more years than with this kind of treatment. Thus, many people say that most cancer patients die of treatment rather than of the disease.
In an article, “Stopping Cancer Treatment: Advice for Making a Difficult Decision,” Kristina Iavarone writes, “Cancer treatment may not always work, and it can cause unwanted side effects and sometimes even reduced quality of life. The decision to stop cancer treatment is a difficult one. Your doctor will likely discuss the risks and side effects that you may experience, as well as other forms of therapy that could help as you transition to end-of-life care.” This article has been medically reviewed by Thomas LeBlanc, M.D., M.A., MHS, FAAHPM, FASCO. With this quote, we simply want to say that even in advanced countries, cancer specialists know their therapies are not foolproof and may have severe side effects, including reduced quality of life, whereas other therapies may work. Still, these doctors remember those therapies when they feel that the patient’s life is at stake and not before. I also remember, in a medical seminar, one renowned Allopath said, “The action of Homoeopathic drugs starts from the point where the action of Allopathic drugs stops.” Several such views from the medical field of India and of well-advanced countries can be quoted, and even renewed cancer specialists have opined about the uncertainty of success with these therapies and their side effects. Our objective here is not to debate these issues but to bring these facts before you so you can make a judicious decision about your treatment.
A very interesting survey has been done by the Standford university – school of medicine that was published in May 28, 2014 issue of PLOS ONE (An award winner magazine that publishes research based articles, news etc) . Accordingly, a question was put before 1081 world renowned Oncologists – “ Should any of your family member happen to suffer with Cancer , will you treat him with Chemotherapy, Radiation etc ? “ Very surprisingly 88.3% answered NO, NEVER.
Almost similar survey was done in 1989 on 790 Doctors that was published in the magazine of American Medical Association. Chemotherapy has a very low success rate. It has been proven time and time again that the same chemotherapy drugs that are highly toxic and are outrageously ineffective all the way around, offering a roughly 2 percent chance of success to most cancer patients who receive them. The results of a 14-year study published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology in 2004 revealed that among 154,971 cancer patients from both Australia and the U.S. representing 22 different types of cancer, a mere 2.3 percent and 2.1 percent, respectively, survived for longer than five years after undergoing chemotherapy.
