This does not mean all doctors in Georgia will now start using alternative cancer therapies - they know only too well various federal agencies can still "swoop in" anytime they want to and put them out of business overnight. As they say, "might makes right". However, it is a clear indication of the will of the people and the seriousness of the situation when state governments start openly bucking the guidelines of the federal government. Georgia's actions are indeed to be applauded. 

Other forward thinking state legislators in the USA are also facing up to the cancer epidemic and breaking away from the federal government's iron-fisted dominance of national health care policy. Arizona, Alaska, Minnesota and Nevada are now taking action to allow their MDs the freedom to use what treatments they deem best for a patient.

Here's a new concept for you: One well-proven approach many people have taken is to 'co-doctor'. That is, they visit a physician open to alternative treatments (at least privately) and bring a lot of information regarding proven alternative options with them. 

Most people want to believe their doctors have all the answers. The reality 

is they don't. Nobody anywhere has all the answers - including this website.

Besides being reluctant to use alternative therapies, doctors are very busy professionals. In fact far too busy to keep up with the flood of new information now available on proven natural cancer treatments. So, think of yourself as an educator. There are more and more physicians getting interested in the alternative health field today despite intense political pressure from the federal government and the mega-billion dollar "cancer industry" as it is called against change.

In studying the most successful alternative care doctors, clinics and hospitals worldwide, one soon sees a treatment pattern emerging. They use several therapies at the same time - each having a different purpose. A top book on this subject is "An Alternative Medicine Definitive Guide to Cancer" by Diamond and Cowden. It describes therapies developed by 37 of the most successful alternative cancer doctors, therapists and hospitals worldwide. Although large and expensive (about $50), this is an important reference book for professionals and lay people alike. Every MD on earth should read this book before treating a cancer patient. So should state medical boards, and especially federal regulatory agencies.

The wide array of alternative therapies today more or less fall into six basic categories. Therapies from all six categories are used as a package in a successful treatment. Some health care practitioners may even use more than one therapy within each category at the same time.

To receive all therapies in one place, however, you must usually go to an alternative care hospital. There are none, as such, in the United States today. The FDA won't allow them, although clinics in some states are finally coming close.

Although costly, patients are encouraged to have all mercury amalgam dental fillings removed by a dentist trained in the special procedures for this. Mercury is one of the most toxic substances on earth to the body. Its use in dentistry began in the mid 1800s when little was known about it's dangerous effects. The body must expend an enormous amount of energy and resources to protect itself - resources far better spent on preventing cancer. Hal Huggins DDS is a leading dentist in the USA today warning of the undeniable dangers of mercury amalgam dental fillings. See his excellent website at www.hugnet.com, and his book "It's all in your head". The removal of mercury fillings should also include chelation therapy for mercury accumulated in the body. 

Right along with colon and digestive system cleansing can be parasite removal. More and more health practitioners are pointing to parasites  in the body (in addition to toxins and lack of minerals) as a prime cause of most diseases today - not just cancer. Expect to hear a lot more about this uncomfortable subject of parasites living in us as time goes by. Hulda Clark, in her many books, has much to say about this. As disgusting an idea as it is, worms up to 20 feet long can live in our digestive systems without any symptoms being experienced. Many parasites can come from undercooked animal meat and fish. From this huge size parasites can vary down to microscopic, and be found anywhere in the body, even in the eyes. 

An amazing amount of renewed energy, health and disease fighting power 

can be gained by detoxification procedures alone - including parasite removal. 

Today however, they have a popular new name we've all come to know:  "stem cells". 

Unfortunately, after Beard’s death in 1923, his amazing insights were ignored and forgotten. Dr. Gonzalez has found that orally ingested pancreatic enzymes are acid stable, can pass into the small intestine and be absorbed through the intestinal walls and enter into the blood stream. It is now clear that pancreatic proteolytic (protein digesting) enzymes have a profound cancer-fighting effect. If only today's oncologists (MDs) would recognize this and use them - after 90+ years of this principle being ignored!

Many important scientists, researchers and therapists call oxygen a cancer cell's worst enemy, and claim cancer can't even exist in an oxygen rich tissue environment. As a result, alternative therapists and researchers have been developing ways and means for getting extra oxygen into the body for years - and increasing much-needed circulation. These methods include hyperbaric oxygen chambers similar to the type used for deep sea divers, peroxide compounds which release oxygen once in the body, ozone therapy and even oxygen pills and liquids.

In order to understand the ability of bodily fluids and tissues to absorb and use oxygen, we need look at what is called pH - short for concentration of the hydrogen proton, or as some like to say percentage of hydrogen. This further translates into the degree to which bodily fluids are measured as acidic, or the opposite, alkaline. You can test your own pH inexpensively using special pH paper available at most health food stores and some drug stores.

Returning to the important subject of acid/alkaline balance within the body, and how it can affect the oxygen carrying capacity of bodily fluids, the following foods are compared ......

For optimum health and maximum resistance to disease, it is imperative that your diet is heavily alkaline. Why? The modern diet is heavily acid producing. The ideal ratio, according to one of the world's foremost authorities on the relationship between the acid-alkaline ratio in the diet in health and disease, Dr. Ragnar Berg, is about 80% alkali-producing foods and 20% acid-producing foods. Remember, cancer cells thrive in over-acid body conditions. 

Alternative practitioners believe that the body knows how to prevent and heal cancer far better than any scientist, doctor, university or government agency on the planet. We are, after all, a product of untold thousands of years of evolution. The role of the alternative doctor or therapist then is twofold:

 5. Most important things you should know

1. First and foremost, yes, alternative therapies work in the hands of an experienced practitioner.  

     Almost all alternative therapies do have documented scientific studies to back them up. Today there are over 100 alternative cancer treatments, and more are coming to light from many places around the world. Some alternative treatments are 75+ years old and still unused by mainstream medicine. To date, however, the general public has not been aware of them. For that matter, neither have medical doctors. The Internet, however, is changing all of that fast. Many people who have beaten cancer using alternative therapies are willing to talk to others about how they did it. See below for directions on how to contact them.

2. Don't expect to see them your doctor's (MD's) office for another 15 - 30 years.  

    Huge meg-billion dollar bureaucracies change agonizingly slow. Here's one good example of that, although unrelated to cancer: since the late 1990's, many medical doctors have started to recommend a tablet of aspirin a day to decrease the risk of a second heart attack. This science behind was first published in mainstream medical journals in 1947. It took about 50 years for this simple approach to make it's way into conventional doctors offices. We don't need endless research into finding a cure for cancer using patented pharmaceutical medicines and other expensive hi-profit therapies alone. Alternative therapy works, and skyrocketing cancer rates today demand we use every therapy available, conventional or alternative.

3. Information overload is a new problem today.

     But, it's the kind of problem we like to have. The Internet is creating a health information revolution. The good news is information cures cancer! Today it's easy to learn all our options, yet deciding what therapy is right for us is extremely difficult. Searching the Internet, reading books, going to seminars and so on is guaranteed to hopelessly confuse anyone at a time when clear thinking is needed most. The complete Guide, available below, was prepared to clear away the fog of too much choice. There are many sources you can turn to get help deciding what therapy is right for you.

4. There are seven basic types of alternative cancer therapies, and all must be used. 

     In reviewing the methods used by the most successful alternative care doctors, clinics and hospitals worldwide, one soon sees the bewildering array of alternative cancer treatments today fall into six basic categories or types. Decades of experience has shown that best results are obtained when therapies from all six categories are used together.  You too must think along these lines. This subject is one of the most important lessons in this entire report. Categories include detoxification, nutrition, immune system building, key enzymes, emotional counseling and natural chemotherapies.  Many of these you can do yourself at home with the guidance of a health care professional. Here are some good reasons why conventional therapies to treat cancer fall short: See www.cancerchoices.com/facts_overlooked_by_conventional.htm. Do not expect many health care professional to know about anything about this. 

    Many medical doctors sincerely wish they were allowed to use alternative treatments.  But, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) frowns upon alternatives thus making doctors legally liable in court if they use them. This fact alone scares away almost all MDs.   Doctor's state medical boards may fine them heavily, suspend their license to practice or even revoke it. They may be banned from seeing patients in local hospitals. All from using 'unapproved' alternative treatments, no matter how well they work. Additionally, medical schools don't know anything about alternatives and wouldn't teach them if they did. MDs do not want and cannot afford these kinds of problems. Only the bravest medical doctors today will buck the system and consider using alternatives. This is the way of the world. 

    This is an important lesson: you don't need to be a trail blazer in the information jungle. There are many places you can go today to quickly get expert guidance. There are simple ways you can save yourself long, hard hours searching for what will work for you ... not to mention saving yourself thousands of dollars (typically) along the way. There are a variety of way you can find alternative practitioners near you. The full Guide (see ordering information below) explains how in detail.

     In the experience of this author after years of research and the counseling of over 1000 people, there are two things that distinguish cancer survivors from those that do not:

    Survivors have a strong, ambitious desire to go on despite their circumstances. In short they dearly want to live. They crave life.

Secondly, they ask questions, they read books, they scour the Internet, they listen to tapes and they make phone calls. Sooner or later, somewhere along the line, they find what works for them - conventional or alternative. Most importantly, these people are willing to do something different. The Guide available below was prepared especially with them in mind to save precious hours and thousands of dollars in their journey.

     Not so. Many forces within the conventional system are strongly against alternative treatments for a variety of reasons. It's no mystery a bureaucratic tangle of politicians, government agencies, lawyers and big business types dominate and control the medical system - not doctors. MDs have virtually no say anymore in the type of therapy they're allowed to use. The conventional drugs and surgery cancer treatment system is a mega-billion dollar a year industry worldwide with millions of jobs and staggering profits. Simple, inexpensive alternative therapies pose a direct threat to the entire system. This difficult reality must be faced.

2. Believing medical doctors (MDs) and the conventional medical system have all the answers. 

     No question, almost all MDs are hard working, talented and sincere people. Most people tend to think that because MDs do not know about alternative therapies, those therapies must be worthless. We've all been raised to not question a conventional doctor's authority. It just isn't done. Television, advertising and newspapers all continue to reinforce their "ultimate authority" image. Because the public (not to mention the medical profession) remains unaware of how many excellent alternative options there are today, there is no pressure on the conventional system to use them. There is simply no way busy doctors can keep up with the flood of new information now available thanks to the Internet. Do an Internet search using the keywords alternative cancer treatments. Expect to see hundreds of thousands of websites.

3. Thinking that using alternatives means you have to abandon conventional doctors, hospitals and therapies.

    The common either/or syndrome. Quite the contrary. Always work with your doctors to advise you on your progress. And always tell them about using alternatives. Most people don't. Treating cancer with proven alternatives therapies is not a do-it-yourself project. Happily, today there are more and more Chiropractors, Naturopathic Doctors (NDs), Doctors of Osteopathy, oriental medicine specialists and yes, even MDs, using alternatives as state and federal laws allow.

4. Thinking a friend or a relative with cancer will welcome information on alternative treatments with open arms.  

     This can be a heartbreaking issue. A strong desire to beat cancer coupled with an open mind on the part of the patient is essential for any therapy to work. If you are searching for alternative options to help a friend or relative with cancer, be prepared to have your efforts completely rejected by him or her. Every good therapist in the world knows that if a patient is against a particular type of therapy of any kind, conventional or alternative, result are almost always dismal.

5. Allowing family and friends to enter the picture and influence the decision making process.  

     This is an all-too-common and frequently difficult issue. Well meaning, but sadly misinformed, family and friends will try to convince a cancer patient that using an alternative therapy is a dangerous mistake. Being totally unaware of the value of proven alternative treatments, and rarely interested in doing any serious research, all they have to offer is biases and opinions. Yet they pressure the patient and immediate family members. Their influence on the patient in a weakened condition can be considerable. The decision whether or not to use an alternative treatment belongs to the patient, spouse and his or her doctor. It is not something to be put to a popular vote. The fewer the people in the decision making process, the better.

6. Searching for a single, magic bullet, take-a-pill therapy. 

    Abandon this common mistake in thinking quickly. Yes, it's true, we live in an oral society. Have a problem? Open mouth, take a pill. Unfortunately there is no magic herb in pill form we can take for three weeks, cure cancer and then go right back to doing the things we've always done. Some changes in life style and life habits will be necessary, as well as using all 6 therapies mentioned below. This is a very important issue in alternative cancer care. As is commonly quoted, some people want to keep on doing the same old things and get different results. 

7. Waiting until all hope is gone with conventional therapies before 'trying' alternatives.  

     So many people wait until it is obvious conventional treatments are failing badly before considering alternatives out of desperation. Unfortunately, by that time the patient is usually so sick and so weak, not only from cancer but from the side effects of conventional therapy, it is too late. In fact, many alternative care hospitals, in Mexico for example, have had to develop special therapies for undoing the damage done to patients by conventional therapies. This is commonly the type of patient that arrives on their doorstep.

These are just the most popular ones in use worldwide today. There are actually far more than that. Quietly behind  the scenes, some of them have been successfully used since against cancer since the 1910s! Others are newer. 

 

Unfortunately these safe, natural treatments are not taught to our doctors (MDs) in medical schools - only drugs, surgery and radiation. Further, these treatments rarely get any publicity in the mainstream national media. Most people don't know about them.

 

Note: The treatments and therapies listed below are for informational purposes only and should NOT be considered medical advice. Nor are they recommendations either for or against any other therapies or treatments. They are simply the most commonly used today. 

 

Always consult with a qualified health care provider before making any decisions about therapies or personal health conditions. Using alternative cancer therapies is NOT a do-it-yourself project.
