Conclusion
Cancer in the adult can partly be viewed as a degenerative process with
symptoms representative of underlying systemic dysfunction. We all have cancer
cells in our bodies. It is only when our body is unable to get rid of the cancer cells
that a disease process takes place.
What are the underlying system dysfunctions? There are many factors, including
emotional, diet, drugs and chemicals, infections, genetic mutation, and
environmental pollutants.
In the United States, much controversy has arisen between mainstream and
alternative medicine. The cancer establishment, championed by the American
Cancer Society (ACS) has characterized natural and adjunctive cancer therapies as
the works of quacks preying on desperate and credulous cancer victims, while the
proponents of alternative therapies have depicted established therapies as the "cut,
burn, and poison" therapies of a cynical and profit-driven conspiracy.
Looking into the future, the good news is that less toxic and target specific
chemotherapeutic agents are being developed. are high.
Unfortunately, most cancer patients do not have time to wait. Sometimes, they are
only given a few more months to live. They and their families are desperate and
will look for any modality that offers a promise now.
