The Best Alternative Cancer Treatments

  • Having a healthy lifestyle is important and can help but it's not an alternative treatment. At least, it shouldn't be! Eating nutritious food and exercising can help, but that is a supplement to traditional treatment, not an alternative. Things like surgery and chemo are still the most effective methods of treating cancer. - Anonymous

  • Diet and exercise are the most important alternative treatments to research. They may not be able to take the place of medical treatments but they may help you get through treatment. Nutrition is gaining more and more weight as a valid way to prevent, survive, and fight cancer as well as many other diseases that plague our country. - Anonymous

  • Traditional cancer treatments often include surgical removal of the affected area, chemotherapy and radiation. Other options to supplement options such as these include a variety of approaches, like nutritional therapy, vitamin regulation, exercise regimens, meditation and other spiritual (religious) activities. The human body is a very complex machine. Treating cancer is not just fixing a broken part; it is important to address every factor that influences health and wellness to ensure the body can heal itself and perform in prime condition. - Anonymous

  • The best alternative to cancer treatments are prevention to begin with. Learning to care for your body at an early age will prove later to be the healthiest choice. For those with cancer already, I'd approve holistic treatments and certainly taking AVC every day. AVC has phenomenal healing properties as does honey. Prayer doesn't hurt either. - Anonymous

  • While I think that the best way to fight cancer is to follow the treatment protocol your oncologist recommends for you, there are plenty of other tools available to give you strength to fight this horrible disease. I agree that eating a healthy diet and exercising are beneficial if you are feeling well enough to do so, and I also believe that you should do things you love to remind you of why you will not let cancer beat you. - Anonymous

  • Standard treatments are expensive and extremely harsh on the body of the person being treated. There are plenty of alternative cancer treatments out there that simply don't get attention because there is no money to make from them. They are much less harsh and often can be taken with other treatments so if you have cancer why not use every alternative possible to treat it? - Anonymous

  • First and foremost, the best method to prevent the formation of cancer and slow the growth once it begins is a healthy diet and an active lifestyle. Nutritional studies show that diets high in fiber-rich vegetables and whole grains lead to less cancer formation and growth than diets rich in dairy and meat (animal-based) foods. Other risk factors include smoking and alcohol consumption. Alternative treatments include holistic treatments, vitamin therapy and spiritual/meditative practices. - Anonymous
