Alternative cancer therapies work from the premise that the entire body must be strengthened, cleansed and supported in order to rid the body of the cancer. There are many herbs which can bring dramatic, successful results. The most famous of alternative cancer therapies is Essiac tea. It contains herbs in combination used by Canadian and Native American tribes as a cancer remedy for centuries. A Canadian nurse learned of this remedy and began dispensing it to patients who had been deemed uncurable. The results were astounding and did in fact save the life of the majority of her patients. Her cure rate was so high that the combination of herbs can be found today in herb shops as Essiac tea. To find information, consult a naturopathic physician or chat with a informed herbalist about the tea itself.
Studies using beet juice as an alternative cancer therapy was tried in Russia. The cure rate was very high, but the issue appeared to be the patient could not drink enough of the juice to be effective without feeling ill. Given that beet juice is now available in tablet form from many herb shops, it is surprising this has not benn investigated further as a great alternative to today’s cancer treatments. If you’d like to try this therapy, consult an herbalist and a naturopathetic physician for dosage recommendations.
Two great blood cleansers without harsh side effects are burdock root and dandelion root. Remember, everything you can do to help flush toxins from your body helps strengthen your entire system. Dandelion root is known as a powerful liver cleanser. My grandmother, diagnosed with liver cancer, began using dandelion root on a daily basis. She told me she felt like a million dollars while taking it. Several months later, her physician could find no evidence of her liver cancer. He had recommended against chemotherapy, due to her age. He had no explanation for her cure.
Elecampane root is an absolute miracle worker for the respiratory system. In addition to being a natural antibiotic, it cleans, tones and restores function to the respiratory system. A small portion of Pleurisy root is sometimes added to the combination, depending on your particular condition.
Echinacea root strengthens and tones the immune system, which can be especially important if you’re undergoing chemotherapy.
Be sure to consult a naturopathic physician before embarking on any herbal alternative cancer therapies.
