A review published in the New England Journal of Medicine (December 12, 2002 issue) found that evidence in favor of conventional cancer treatment was unconvincing.  The author opted for unconventional cancer treatments, such as Gerson Therapy, involving diet, supplements and detoxification.

The Moss Reports newsletter (1-16-05) summarizes recently published research in Germany which shows that, for most types of cancer, survival rate has not changed in the last 25 years.  According to the cancer registry of the University of Munich, while the statistical curve for colon cancer shows a slight improvement, the survival rate for breast cancer actually fell over the course of the years.

A more recent issue (3-5-06) describes a meticulous study published in the journal "Clinical Oncology" which set out to assess the actual survival benefit of chemotherapy.  The authors concluded that in the last twenty years a benefit of less than 5% has been achieved in the treatment of breast, colon, head and neck cancers.  Median survival of lung cancer has increased by about two months.

Isn't it time to start using treatments that actually work?

Speaking of Breast Cancer, one of the risk factors is exposure to radiation. 

Mammography is an example of cumulative radiation exposure that can

increase risk.  There may be safer and more accurate ways to screen for

cancer.

Thermography

One additional suggestion:

If you have a serious illness, don't neglect your own inner work. Understanding the mental and emotional components of your condition can be the most important step toward healing.
