Whether to opt for chemo or radiotherapy is the most important
questions for some patients and they agonize over the choice. It is
so much more difficult by the fact that a wrong decision could lead
to fatal consequences. Everyone knows that it is not as
straightforward as the Doctors claim. They say if you don't do what
they tell you, you will die (or hint as much). Yet there is a
suspicion, in some cases amounting to a certainty, that conventional
treatment actually harms patients. Maybe even shortens their life (a
serious acusation). This makes a bit of a Catch-22 (damned-if-you-
do, damned-if-you-don't, from the book by Joseph Heller).
Obviously, all cases are different, we can only talk in general
principles. Having been told you have cancer is a time of great fear
and uncertainty. People and their loved ones must keep their thoughts
clear and balanced. The first big relief is that you can do both! It
is possible to view holistic therapies as a stand-alone treatment of
cancer, leukaemia etc. Some modern chemical treatments for tumours
are not so "kill-'em-all" dangerous as old-time chemo and radio
therapy.

What you want is to give your body every possible way to resist the
damaging chemicals or radiation. We only want the cancer to be under
attack, not your immune system. The big danger of conventional
methods is that it harms the good and the bad. Doctors and drug
companies alike see the body as a battle ground, not as one of the
key friendly combatants. The body is capable fighting (if given the
correct building blocks) against cancer (or viruses, bacteria,
parasites etc). It is stupid to ignore this important resource (your
body) or risk harming. Did you know that a cancer or other tumour is
typically about 50% your own immune white blood cells, fighting for
you against the bad cells. Shrinking the cancer sounds great; but it
may mean the loss of white defensive cells and not cancer cells.

Natural building blocks for the body like vitamins, minerals,
antioxidents and raising your pH are probably the best way to combat
cancer and other diseases in place or with concurrent conventional
therapy. You do have a choice! Studies show that the natural building
blocks like vitamins, minerals, antioxidents and raising your pH can
protect to some degree from the damage of chemotherapy. We have
certainly seen them prevent hair loss! Yet the ignorance of many
doctors becomes evident, when you hear stories of patients being told
not to take natural building blocks for the body because "it will
help the cancer". First off, there is no evidence of any kind
whatsoever that vitamins and minerals can do this - it's prejudice
that could cost you your life. This shows ignorance of basic life
biology: cancer cells are malformed rogue cells that do not behave as
normal cells do and for whom natural building blocks for the body are
probably about as useful as daylight is to a vampire!
