Today many mainstream doctors believe that cancer is just a localized disease which is to be treated in a localized manner. Be it the process of cutting out the tumor, radiating it, or flooding the body with toxic drugs, the goal of a physician is to destroy the tumor and thus save the patient.
However, the use of these conventional methods and allopathic drugs often leaves the patient devastated in the process, while cancer and its underlying causes remain.
According to the alternative healer, cancer is regarded as a systemic disease and one that involves the whole body. In an alternative healer's view, the tumor is merely a symptom of cancer and their alternative therapies aim to affect the root cause of the disease.
Holistic healers believe in focusing on rebuilding the body's natural immunity and strengthening its inherent ability to destroy cancer cells, instead of aggressively attacking the tumor.
In medical science, cancers are treated with surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, or biological therapy. However, different Cancer medications depend on the type of cancer; the size, location, and stage of the tumor keeping in mind the person's general health and other factors.
The three proven methods of treating cancer i.e. chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery, actually shorten lifespan in many instances. With each of these treatments being invasive, they have devastating effects on patients and treat only the symptoms of cancer. These treatments can also cause the spread or recurrence of cancer at any future time during your life. While these immunity destroying approaches might be necessary at times, their successes have mostly been limited to relatively rare forms of cancer or the early stages of the disease.
