Cancer Treatments at 2015





There are numerous discussions on treatments of cancer and tumour ,  the effectiveness and survival ratings,  chemo therapy treatments,  and other  alternative therapy  like the practice of Natural Healing,  are practical topics amongst us worldwide.  Despite being a layman in medicine,  we should have a duty to know the whole  truth and find the right doctor  as this is a matter of  life and death. 

Some  suggests that  Study shows Chemo is only 2.1% effective toward 5 year survival  and declined  against Electrotherapy and chemotherapy on cancer.

 Professor  PC Leung considered that  Exercises involving stretching and control breathing are among the most important measures for the maintenance of health and natural healing, according to the ancient Chinese Classic on Medicine. 

As  to Dr. Jeremy Henson, Cancer is a leading cause of death in Australia accounting for 3 in every 10 deaths and claiming the lives of more Australian children than any other disease. Cancer cells have activated an immortality mechanism that allows them, and the tumour, to keep growing forever. Normal cells don't have these immortality mechanisms; they simply get old.  The current treatments do not work for many cancer patients and have long lasting side-effects in survivors. Jeremy is "Finding a way of doing in cancer patients that could provide a low-side-effect therapy to treat the disease.”  

It is also said that Cancer is a disease of the immune system and inappropriate treatments and unhealthy way of living may weaken immunity.

 The basic question is “Should I practice Qi Gong or Tai Chi?”[1]
The popularity is clear. The popularity is historically and culturally linked. The practice requires little cost. The practice can be easily verified at different levels of personal practice. But if one considers that scientific proof is of paramount importance, what we are clear today, remains scanty, non-specific, and partial.
 Meditation is another essential component in the pursuit of health.
Natural Healing is strongly linked to the philosophy of Taoism. Natural Healing for Traditional Chinese Medicine compiles the three components of physical, physiological and psychosocial harmony which are all interlinked. The ancient healers, through so many years of practice, have worked out varieties of means to help boostering the state of harmony.
Indeed, Natural Healing in Chinese Medicine exists as a complete system with a strong philosophical basis, involves careful professional, i.e. medical conceptualization, defines complicated methodologies of practice, and in recent years, commands organized social networks for its promotion (Wang, 2007; Lic, 2003).

Respiration is controlled which include extra-long inspiration or extra-long expiration. Abdominal or diaphragmatic breathing and the pelvic diaphragm and anal sphincters are also squeezed at will.  Intentional controlled breathing  is making use of the somatic nervous activity to initiate stimulation on the autonomic nervous system, which has wide connections with the internal organs and therefore opens up new channels of communication with the internal organs under rational intension that the practice pushes the qi through the internal organs to help building a state of physiological harmony.
In 2004, the Beijing Sport University conducted a clinical study on the effects of Qi Gong on the physical ability of a group of people aged from 50 to 70. This is a clear indication that the ability of the heart among this group of middle age and older age people to adapt to higher demand of physical activities improved with the Qi Gong. Respiratory function also improved after the period of training (Tsang and Chow, 2005).
Like Qi Gong, Tai Chi is believed to have preventive function against infection and other pathological changes. Investigating immunology related changes should throw light on the assumption. The interleukins (IL’s) are a group of cytokines created by mononuclear cells regulating cellular activities. IL2 is probably the most important member which controls the survival of T cells, NK cells and B cells, and is actively involved in anti-cancer activities.
As to Dr. Jeremy Henson, Cancer is a leading cause of death in Australia, accounting for 3 in every 10 deaths and claiming the lives of more Australian children than any other disease. Cancer cells have activated an immortality mechanism that allows them ,and the tumour, to keep growing forever. Normal cells don't have these immortality mechanisms; they simply get old.  The current treatments do not work for many cancer patients and have long lasting side-effects in survivors. Jeremy is "Finding a way of doing in cancer patients that could provide a low-side-effect therapy to treat the disease.”  [2]At the heart of Jeremy’s field of interest is alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT), one of two mechanisms which cancers rely on to keep growing indefinitely. These mechanisms are active in cancer cells but not in normal human cells, so inhibiting them can kill cancer cells without harming the regular ones. Ultimately, he would like a blood test for cancer that he’s developed to become a clinical test, which could benefit many patients, including those with lung cancer.
 Electrotherapy and chemotherapy
Case: Here’s what I did. I had surgery to remove the tumour first.
I did not have chemo or radiation before the surgery.
During the surgery the doctor discovered that the cancer had spread to my lymphnodes (Stage 3). After surgery the doctors recommended 9-12 months of chemotherapy.
I declined, which was not a popular decision. Most of my family thought I was crazy and it took several years and multiple cancer free reports before they came around.
I believe that in some cases surgery makes sense; to get as much cancer out as possible and give your body a jump start in dealing with whatever cancerous cells are left.
In other cases surgery can cause the cancer to spread. It’s a bit of a gamble…
Knowing what I know now, I probably would have postponed surgery,
pursued hardcore natural methods first and had the doctors monitor my progress closely.
If you’ve read my posts on chemotherapy then you know that my reasons to reject chemotherapy were: 
-It causes permanent damage throughout the body
-It destroys your immune system, which is the most critical component in getting well.
-It is a highly toxic carcinogen that can cause secondary cancers throughout the body.
-The reports of its effectiveness are grossly exaggerated.
A groundbreaking 14 year study was published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology in December 2004 called “The Contribution of Cytotoxic Chemotherapy to 5-year Survival in Adult Malignancies”.
One very powerful approach is converting to the Raw Vegan Diet to alkalize, detox, and flood your body with the nutrients it needs to heal itself.
This consists of:
Juicing
Fasting
Giant Salads
Green Smoothies (giant salad blended up in a Vita-Mix)
Coconut Berry Smoothies
