Natural chemotherapy is new therapy under research that combines allopathic and naturopathic medications. It looks more into the root cause of cancer and doesn’t simply treat the symptoms like conventional chemotherapy. Cancer is actually caused by various reasons like immune system depression, family history, free radical damage, heavy metal toxicity, inflammation, mitochondria dysfunction, mineral and vitamin deficiencies, genetic mutation and cell wall damage. Lifestyle, dietary habits, psyche, genes and other factors play an important role in causing or preventing cancer.

Although some conventional oncologists may not agree to use natural substances or supplements in curing cancer, most of these medications are evidence based and have shown good results. If this is implemented on a large scale and shows good results it will create a revolution. It will radically change the way oncologists have been thinking all these years. It is a known fact that all of us have cancer cells in our body and they go undetected as their number is negligible. Our immune system is able to fight them and replace them with healthy cells. So it is important to strengthen our immune system. The important factors that contribute in strengthening our immune system include a strong will power, healthy lifestyle, exercise and good eating habits.

There are new and advanced treatments being developed to fight cancer. Some of them are Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) for chelation and free radical, transdermal magnesium chloride therapy, etc.

There are also certain techniques which emphasize on detoxifying the mind and body and thus eliminating the cancer cells. These techniques emphasize on using iodine, nutritional science, detoxification, emotional therapy, etc.

Nutritional medicines are absolutely non toxic and can be used simultaneously in treating cancer. Infusing toxins inside the body is the basic principle of allopathy that is contradicted in natural chemotherapy, as most doctors also admit that chemotherapy itself is responsible for causing cancer to millions of people across the world. In fact, the science writer Ralph W. Moss have written books like Questioning Chemotherapy that question the role of chemotherapy in treating people.

It is good to cure cancer with natural resources that heal the body rather than the toxins that only kill the cells. As most of us are aware these toxic substances trigger many side effects like nausea, fatigue, peripheral neuropathy, mouth sores, decreased immunity, bruising, anemia and other innumerable side effects. Then there medications to reduce these side effects like nausea. Certain anti nausea medications also cause side effects like constipation. Then there are further medications recommended to prevent side effects triggered by a side effect of chemotherapy. This list is virtually unending.

A treatment like chemotherapy to kill the cancer cells, medications to reduce its side effects and further medications to reduce the side effects caused by the primary side effects. Also, there are anticipatory medications given to prevent certain complications. There are many post chemotherapy side effects that also have an adverse effect on the patients. All this is extremely ridiculous, torturous and it takes a heavy toll on the mental and physical health of the patient.

The background of chemotherapy itself is nitrogen mustard that was used as poison to kill people in the war. Later, in the post mortem reports of the killed soldiers, it was discovered that nitrogen mustard suppresses the lymphoid systems. Hence, it was administered to kill the cancer cells in lymphoma. Although, chemotherapy does work at a preliminary level and shrinks the tumor, mostly it is temporary and this process needs to be repeated. Chemotherapy has now become a very routine because people fear cancer and most of them have a perception that if they do not undergo this treatment, the only option is death. The statistics however say that only 6% of all the advanced cancers are healed by conventional chemotherapy. In fact sometimes the doctors consider stopping chemotherapy when the patients cannot tolerate the toxicity of the chemotherapy drugs.

Natural chemotherapy is an alternative to orthodox chemotherapy and certainly not death. Many safe and tested therapeutic agents like Magnesium chloride, iodine, selenium, Alpha Lipoic Acid, vitamin C, cesium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, Viscum album L and many other therapeutic agents can be used to treat cancer effectively.
