Cancer is a big problem for society. It’s one of those words that has been engrained in our subconscious – it puts us on edge just hearing it. That’s probably because it is responsible for the death of so many people every year. Just think about your own life if you are looking for confirming of that fact, if you don’t know someone who is either suffering from cancer or someone who has passed away because of the condition, you’re probably in the minority. Almost everyone knows someone who’s suffered from cancer, and the problem appears to be only getting worse.
But what can we do about cancer given the fact that it is a real issue. So many people have it and incidents are on the rise. We do have a number of effective treatments that can help to fight cancer once you have been diagnosed with the condition, but for some people the treatments are almost as bad as the disease. Chemotherapy is probably the most famous of all of the cancer treatments and the issue that many people have with it is the side-effects are well known to be very serious and can cause real issues for your wellness and wellbeing.
Chemotherapy is actually a very effective way of treating cancer and it can help to shrink tumours and make them very small. It can also help to stop the spread of cancer. But it is also well known as a having very drastic effects on the health of a person who has it. That’s the strange thing, people have chemotherapy to make them feel better, but in the short term it actually makes them far more ill. Chemotherapy patients generally lose their hair, have dry and sore skin and are prone to vomiting. This is generally because the therapy has trouble identifying the difference between fast-growing cancer cells and other fast growing cells such as those of your hair and skin.
So due to the problems that many people suffer with when they have chemotherapy, there is a large and growing number of people in society who are looking for alternative treatments for cancer, hoping that it can do the same good as chemotherapy does with the difficulties that come along with it. Many believe that there are holistic treatments and therapies that can do this job perfectly well. But this is where rational science has to disagree with them.
The truth is that almost all the current major holistic therapies that some people believe can help in the fight against cancer have been shown to have no measurable effect. This means that any benefit that people are getting out of them purely comes as placebo and only makes them feel better rather than making any difference in their illness. The number of people who use them merely get the feeling that they are improving because that it what they want to believe. The problem is that the cancer is still very much inside them, and the fact that they aren’t using standard treatments has only made the problem get worse more quickly.
The more that people are willing to believe these kinds of lies, the more people will get sucked in and have their lives shortened because they are denying themselves the proper treatment. It is very important to speak to your doctor before you attempt to fight cancer using any prospective treatments. They will be able to explain to you what you need to do and how the process needs to go if you are to fight cancer correctly.
