There are no magic potions that can ‘cure’ cancer but it is worth considering some options for patients who are suffering from cancer
Immediately after your chemotherapy or your operation:
It may be worth treating operative scars to enhance wound healing – I have generally been very ,very pleased with the results. The scars took a fraction of the expected time to heal. This can be very useful if the scar(s) is / are in a sensitive area which may be disturbed during sleep if the person rolls onto that area. This has the double benefit of both improving daytime comfort overall and also improving sleep quality which, itself, is a great accelerator of healing.Nutritional Medicine and trace mineral testing and investigation may be very useful in speeding the return of full vitality after an operation or chemotherapy.
Is there anything worth trying in terms of trying to prevent cancer recurrence
We still know disappointingly little about why we get cancer. However it is reasonable to state that the causative factors include both genetic (nature) and environmental (nurture) factors. Anyone who hands out cast-iron guarantees that they can prevent cancer recurrence is either unhinged or untruthful.
However some interventions are, in my opinion well worth trying:
- I feel it important to try to get gastrointestinal function working as efficiently as possible so that food is being absorbed properly.
- Optimise nutritional status so that the immune system is working at full speed.
- Investigate liver detoxification and supplement appropriately so that toxins are eliminated as efficiently as possible. This is because maintaining proper detoxification is, in my opinion, worthwhile to attempt to prevent cancer recurrence.
Integrative medicine may also b e very useful in terms of enhancing pain management and quality of life.
It is important to realise that integrative techniques are appropriate when the patient is mobile and functioning reasonably well to improve strength and resilience and inprove quality of survival time together with possibly improvement in quantity of survival time , also. When a patient’s condition has been deemed terminal and death is near I feel that the patient and family’s emotional and material resources are best devoted to looking after the patient and not searching fruitlessly for miracle cures (which do not exist anyhow) reasonably well.
