2. Even though modern medicine has come a long way in its fight
against cancer, it is still not always effective against cancer. In
many cases it does not lead to a complete curing and cancer
will reappear later in life. In some cases, patients may opt for
alternative forms of cancer. The question is can these
alternative forms of treatment be effective.
One alternative form of treatment is acupuncture. Acupuncture
is becoming more popular as an alternative cancer treatment.
There have been many studies to see if this form of treatment
can be effective against cancer. These studies indicate that
acupuncture along with other forms of Chinese medicine
treatment can help to boost the immune system . When the
immune system is stronger m it can do a better job of fighting
diseases. Several clinical trials have been performed to test the
effectiveness of this method.
These studies could not pinpoint exactly how effective
acupuncture was against fighting cancer directly. There are also
many other forms of medical treatment that can be used to
boost the immune system. These modern forms of boosting the
immune system are pretty effective but they are usually
combined with other forms of treatment like surgery. So
acupuncture may be a good way to boost your immune system,
however it should not be used alone to fight cancer.

3. Another alternative treatment for cancer is Aromatherapy.
Research shows that this treatment is good for anxiety and
depression. These oils may have an mild anti-inflammatory and
anti-bacterial affect when they are topically applied. However
this form of therapy will likely not directly treat cancer in any
way. What it may do however is to reduce your anxiety or
depression about cancer and if your anxiety is reduced, your
immune system will likely be stronger due to lack of stress.
Another alternative treatment is Ayurveda. This is an Indian
medicine. This type of medicine tries to balance the body, mind
and soul using a variety of techniques. This type of treatment
has been found to have positive effects with dealing with
anxiety and pain. However there is no medical evidence that it
will cure cancer although it might help you deal with some of
the symptoms of cancer or even its painful treatments. This is
applicable to yoga as well.
Another alternative treatment is using the power of your mind.
Some say that you can use your mind to do anything and this
includes things like curing cancer. One way to tap into the
power of your mind is hypnosis. Of course there really is no
scientific evidence that you can cure yourself using your mind
but hypnosis can definitely patients cope with traditional
medical treatment and with post-treatment side effects.

4. One other form of alternative cancer treatment is using a
specific type of diet. A very popular diet for cancer is the
Gerson therapy. This type of diet recommends a detox diet and
nutritional supplements. This type of diet is supposed to reduce
toxins from your body and thence cure the tumors. Like many
other forms of alternative therapies, there is no scientific
evidence indicating that this type of diet will help you cure
cancer. There are many other diets out there that are said to
help with cancer. You should definitely discuss with your doctor
any new diets you want to try to make sure that it is safe for
you.
In a big picture sense, there is no evidence that alternative
treatments are effective at curing cancer for everyone.
However some of them are complementary to traditional
treatment and may help with the disease and the effects of the
treatment. Some other alternative therapies are potentially
dangerous and should not be used . The best thing to do is to
discuss any alternative therapies with your doctor to ensure
they are safe and will not interfere with your modern,
traditional treatment. Also be careful of scammers that are
offering cures that do not work only to receive money from
cancer patients and their families . Given all the information
presented above, no one can guarantee effective alternative
treatment and cure.
