Alternative Cancer Treatments?

68>Not trying to 'stop' my mom's chemotherapy for ovarian cancer, but looking for ways to compliment it. From what I've discovered, several things look promising and I'm wondering on your opinion and any possible experiences: 1) Green Tea (research shows it slows ovarian cancer progression) 2) Maitaki Mushroom (shows immune building, NK killer cell increase and anti-tumor properties in research) and 3) Ginger pills (U of M researches found it kills ovarian cancer cells on contact and also makes them commit suicide. No human or animal research yet).





Beyond the possible anti-cancer properties of the above, it looks like the ginger can help with nausea from the chemo and inflamation and the maitaki mushroom can help with immune system and chemo side effects.

Reply:You may also want to look at the research on high dose, intravenous vitamin C (note: high doses of oral vitamin C are not effective in cancer therapy). You can find recent articles in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, Archives of Internal Medicine and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.





Best wishes and good luck.
Reply:If she has an open mind, try accupuncture therapy. I has proven healing results. Any kind of vitamin rich supplement (more specifically vitamin C) that improves the immune system will help. But the biggest thing that helps fight cancer is happiness. I know that sounds ridiculous, but it's absolutely 100% true. Cancer is deeply connected to attitude and mood. The subject of mind over matter has never been more applicable than it is towards cancer. I promise I'm not one of those woogey-boogey people. I have seen the promising effects in my own family on several instances.
Reply:Find a Chinese Herbalist. My father-in-law beat Prostate Cancer that was in a very late stage. The herbalist created a concoction for that type of cancer he had. He's cure of it now. Good Luck!
