Alternative Cancer Treatment
The three “proven” methods of treating cancer—chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery—are standard protocol to treat cancer. Unfortunately, this conventional cancer treatment offers little chance for “real” recovery.
Major conventional cancer treatments are often have serious side effects that leave patients in agony. Some chemo agents are really toxic and suppress body’s immune system.
To alleviate these side effects, more and more people are now trying to balance between conventional treatment and alternative cancer treatment.
