There are many different alternative remedies and therapies for cancer. Unfortunately, hardly any of these alternative therapies are backed by solid scientific principles and research. Most are just “snake oil” and sleazy clinics in foreign countries.

There really is an alternative treatment, however, that is backed by solid scientific research dating back several decades. It uses what scientists know about cancer cells to reduce and eliminate any type of cancer in all parts of the body. For decades, scientists have been studying the relationship between sugars and cancer. The findings have been consistent over the years—reducing the sugar glucose in the body reduces cancer growth. Eliminating glucose can, quite simply, eliminate cancer.

This process is scientifically valid because of what is known about cancer cells. Like all the cells in our body, cancer cells use the glucose manufactured from the carbohydrates in our diet for energy. Cancer cells, scientists have discovered, are particularly “greedy” and require a relatively high amount of glucose to function, grow and multiply. Without glucose, they eventually die.

What makes the elimination of glucose from the diet such a valid treatment for cancer has to do with what our body is capable of doing in order to supply the rest of our cells with energy. Unlike cancer cells, the cells that make up the rest of our body can use the energy extracted from lipids or fats for energy. Ketone bodies, or ketones, are produced in the absence of enough carbohydrates in order to power the body’s cells. While healthy cells can use ketones for energy efficiently and safely, cancer cells cannot use them at all. If the diet is changed just right and some simple medications are used in just a few days the cancer cells can be killed.

Scientists understand the process involved to encourage the body to create ketones for energy. Different treatment plans involving diets high in lipids and low in carbohydrates have been tested for use with many different types of ailments. All the results show that cancer is a perfect candidate for responding to this type of plan.

So many people with cancer find themselves at a point where they want to do something proactive to fight their encroaching disease. This scientifically valid treatment plan provides something concrete that cancer sufferers can do to attack their cancer using their body’s own mechanisms for creating an alternative energy source for their healthy cells.

You should learn more about how you can activate your body’s natural processes to create and environment inside your body where cancer cell cannot survive. This alternative therapy is backed by science and is very simple to understand.

My co-worker’s brother has cancer, and Cancer Treatment Centers of America is not accepted by his insurance. What other options are available?
My Co-worker’s brother has cancer, and his insurance does not accept Cancer Treatment Centers of America. He lives in Virginia, but somewhere in North Carolina should be ok also. Thank you so much.

Anywhere would be an alternative. This is a private for profit organization that has been in trouble with the FTC for false and unsubstantiated claims. I am not aware of any other hospital that has had this problem.

I work for various hospitals throughout Los Angeles County and we have several well-known hospitals here where people come from all over the world for treatment and there are many less known community hospitals that give care that is just as good and in some cases better than these well known hospitals.

The best advice I can give to your co-workers brother is to be an informed consumer. He and a trusted friend or family member should learn as much about his disease as possible so that he can ask good questions and make informed decisions. Get opinions from 2 or 3 oncologists that do not practice together. Someone should go with him to all appointments where test results or treatment options are discussed. Keep a running list of any questions he thinks of and take the list with him to his doctors appointments.

Unless he has an unusual cancer he should get very good treatment at a hospital his insurance is contracted with. He may also want to check with the American College of Surgeons for hospitals in his area with approved cancer programs. They are responsible for accrediting hospital cancer programs in the United States.

My brother in law has just been diagnosed with cancer of the Lung, Liver, and Bone. Does not sound good at all. The Dr. said he was going to start him on a regimen of those two drugs. I googled them and it seems like individually they have low side effects. I wonder if anyone here has taken them or knows someone who has taken them?

I have taken carboplatin and taxol which is a bit different to your brother in law. But I can say what I was on made me feel fairly sick. They do have some good anti nausea tablets, also make sure he rests a lot. I wish him well.

I can’t find any information on what other types of breast cancer symptoms there are other than the obvious, breast lumps, discharge, changes in physical appearance etc. Anyone have any other symptoms associated with cancer?

Breast cancer can occur in the ducts, or lobules in the breast and on the skin of the breast. Typically if breast cancer forms in the ducts or lobules, there will be a lump that you can physically feel when you examine your breasts. Other symptoms to look for would be a change in the skin on your breast, a puckering of the nipple, or nipple discharge.

Breastcancer.org has some good information…
