Hypothetically there are alternatives to chemotherapy, but the question is how valid are these alternatives? Studies have shown that Chinese herbal medicine can be very good for certain cancers, but that's all I know... I myself am an acupuncturist and MD at the same time, my favored method of cancer treatment is to use herbs to help the patient's immunity while he undergoes chemo, and acupuncture to allieve side effects
2 :
You should do a google search for killing cancer with high PH therapy and another for 9.5 PH water Cures cancer. See what happens. I know someone who has been drinking 9.5 PH water for about a year. His brain cancer has gone from him being bedridden to his walking with a cane to not needing the cane anymore. He is 85 and refuses chemo because he feels it will not benifit him and will weaken the rest of his body. Best of luck to you.

yes you can try the alternative medicine, which deals with herbal medicines. nowadays nothing is impossible. science have gone far, it's just an option.

In 1938-39, Dr. Revici, while working as a cancer researcher at the Pastuer Institute in Paris, reverses the cancer of the wife of an advisor to the President of France. He is offered the French Legion of Honor, which he refused. It's the first of two Legions of Honor he declined. here is a book that uncovered case after case of cancer patients who were knocking on death's door but were brought back from the brink by Dr. Revici's revolutionary treatments. Hope can help you

www.chemohelp.info is your answer. You must visit it.
2 :
There's lots of types of chemo and it can be administered in different ways. Chemotherapy literally means 'drug therapy' and isn't actually a brand of drug in itself. It can be used to treat Cancer or auto-immune diseases like Lupus. Side effects vary depending on what chemo you are having and the person involved. Sometimes people lose hair, are sick, are just tired, or aren't affected at all.
3 :
The American Cancer Society will be able to answer all of your Questions. They even have a way for you to connect with counselors to assist with the stress of going through Chemotherapy. This is how I coped with my chemotherapy, Went through it for 18 months for my Brain tumor.

Macmillan Cancer Support in the UK has this information available: http://www.macmillan.org.uk/Cancerinformation/Cancertreatment/Treatmenttypes/Chemotherapy/Chemotherapy.aspx

For concerns like cancer, which medical policy do you think is better, treatment or prevention

For concerns like cancer, which medical policy do you think is better, treatment or prevention?
The current official response to cancer is treatment, which you do or do not agree with ( compared to prevention ) ?
Cancer - 4 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
prevention is better, a lot of people get cancer cause of bad habits like smoking, they need to stop making cigarrettes.
2 :
It is not a one or the other answer. Yes Prevention includes not smoking, protecting you skin, eating right, etc. But non smokers get lung cancer. Then there are cancers with no known causes e.g. what is the prevention of breast cancer? Cancer like cells are created all the time in your body and most of the time your immune system takes care of them. The various cancers have unknown triggers that turn them out of control. The treatment is to kill them through treatment.
3 :
Its an obvious choice-prevention! To start with, it would be a whole lot less expensive for the insurance companies to pay for checkups and testing than to eat the hundreds of thousands of dollars for cancer treatments! But then the poor drug companies would lose money, because healthy people don't take drugs! I'm biased because I was diagnosed with stage 3 malignant melanoma two years ago, after suspecting the mole might be bad for a few years. My gp thought I was too young, so he wouldn't send me to a dermatologist and I had to have a referral for insurance. Needless to say, after $75,000 in surgeries and taking the insurance company to court to pay it, I definitely think I would have preferred to have it cut off years ago than to go through this nightmare!
4 :
Cancer can be prevented in the majority of cases, so I vote for prevention. (See research by T. Colin Campbell) The science is unequivocal. Former president L B Johnson quipped that the NIH is owned by industry. The same can be said of all major departments within the US Federal government. Our national policy in the US is treatment oriented and very little money has been spent on research of causes. We know that there are many type of toxic chemicals that cause the initiation of cancer. X-Rays and other injuries to cells can precipitate cancer when cell multiplication goes incorrectly. Most of these problems are corrected by the body's own immune system shortly after cancer initiation. There was one outstanding long-term study that received funding from NIH called the China project. This project showed that the growth of cancer (after initiation) is fed by consumption of animal proteins. Excess milk protein is particularly bad. Sadly, the most important health information is lost in a sea of industry disinformation with media help. Read for yourself a book written by T. Colin Campbell: "The China Study" You can find an online version of many chapters through Google books.

How much debt would you put your family in for Cancer treatment

How much debt would you put your family in for Cancer treatment ?
there is no guarranty that the cancer can be removed or cured and you may die anyway . . insurance will only pay 75% after a 5000.00 deductible for prescriptions and care. What would you do ?

READ: The Allopathic Cancer Conspiracy at: http://whale.to/a/cancer_c.html Then think about trying this: New studies on the benefits of onion juice for eliminating cancer have just been concluded by researchers at Cornell University, confirming what we have been saying all along - onion juice will cure your cancer. What they are still not understanding is how the onions should be administered to effectuate the greatest benefits in eliminating your cancer. Find out the proper procedures for onion juice treatment at http://www.brokenearth.org/cancer

None, I'm not American. We have universal healthcare.
4 :
Look at it from the families' perspective - what would they give up to try to help the person with cancer? I would've given up everything I own if it would have helped my mother.
5 :
most people would pay anything. You can't buy a new car for $5000, so isn't a person worth more than that? not saying it won't be tough but hopsitals can set up payment plans and refer pts for financial councelling. you can ask businesses for donations and do a theme basket benefit to cover the $5000. might get hall donated too. recently had one for friend w cancer and they raised over $30,000. also for $100 you can have tickets printed for a monthly 50/50 split raffle ticket based on the daily lottery numbers. for $5/ticket,sell all 1000 tickets and you've got your deductible covered. So there are things that can be done and I at least believe a life is worth more than $5000. having said that, if I KNEW I was terminal and had a very limited time to live, I think I'd forgo the treatment and just enjoy what time I had left. If you have less than a year, why spend that time suffering through treatment.

Take a look at THIS: CANCER: On the news a while back it was found that Swedish scientists found that human breast milks kills cancer in a petri dish. People who drink it have had some success in fighting off cancer.

Do prison inmates get cancer treatment if they find that they have it

Do prison inmates get cancer treatment if they find that they have it?
Do prison inmates get cancer treatment if they find that they have it?

1 :
yes
2 :
Only if they have to keep the prisoner alive to execute him later.
3 :
I believe they do,they have a right to be treated.
4 :
Of course. Why not? They get any type of medical treatment they need.
5 :
Yes, inmates receive any medical care they require.
6 :
but of course!
7 :
Yep...they receive medical services and psychological services.
8 :
no, they don't the courts ruled it is to expensive, and they won't let private insurance or the family pay for such treatment, even if the person is in for a minor charge such as drug use,
9 :
Yes they do. And if an inmate's condition gets too bad, and the system feels it costs too much to maintain the treatment, in some states they can apply for a medical reprieve, meaning that they can be released under supervision if their prognosis is very grim. Check your state and see if they grant medical reprieves, or check your state to see what prisons are medical prisons or ones who general house very ill inmates.
10 :
Yes, there was a case here in WA where a man had been sentenced to death. He refused to take lethal injection because he was "deathly afraid" of needles (I still can't figure that one out but ok..), and they couldn't hang him because he was so fat they didn't think the rope would break his neck so he would strangle to death (which was cruel and inhumane). So while he was sitting on death row he ended up having kidney failure (because he was so fat). The state PAID for him to get a new kidney. I couldn't believe it. I think they should have forced him to go on a diet so they could hang the stupid fat perverted f#%k.
11 :
In this country, no one can be denied health care, espescially someone in state custody. In New Jersey, if the person has private insurance coverage, his policy has to pay for him until it runs out. If an inmate has no insurance, than the state pays for meds and treatment. If they are in advanced stages of the disease, they are housed in a hospital wing in the prison. And the treatment is strictly bare bones.
12 :
Yes.
13 :
Unfortunately if a prison inmate finds out that they have cancer, then yes, they will get treated. In our system of "justice" the rapists, thieves, killers, molesters actually have a better life than what we do. Granted they are there for a reason, but I don't think that since they did their crime, they should be allowed the same conveniences that we have.
14 :
Yes have taken many inmates for medical treatments
15 :
yes, the bare minimum
16 :
unfortunatly it's required by law to give any care necassary to inmates even if they are screw ups and cant be a well mannered human being.
17 :
In California, yes, they are given treatment, and in some cases if it is terminal with only a few months to live, they are released early.
18 :
In Virginia, inmates used to get whatever medical treatment was needed. Then George Allen (son of the former coach of the Washington Redskins) was elected Governor. He's now in the U.S. Senate. George said it was not right for inmates to get free medical treatment when the taxpayers have to pay for thier own medical treatment. So now inmates must pay towards their own medical insurance. And must make co-payments each time they have a medical treatment. Most prison jobs for inmates only pay $0.10 to $0.25/hour. Having to make the co-payments has cut down on the number of visits inmates make to doctors, dentists, etc. Many prisons also have tel-medicine. Basically, the ability to run medical test & see the results over the Internet. This is to avoid, when possible, having to transport an inmate beyond the prison walls.

What are the options for skin cancer treatment

What are the options for skin cancer treatment?
This is for a class project/exercise on sourcing information through social networking websites & web 2.0 applications. The question is - what type of answers would be received through this communication medium? What kind of communal knowledge exists about this subject? Please note that I do not have skin cancer and would advocate consulting a doctor above all other options. Thank you for your answers!!

I can not comment about skin cancer social networking but can tell you that with rare cancers social networking can save a patients life. The social networking cancer groups support one another, empower by sharing information and stories about their own cancer journeys. Through social networking we learned about experimental treatments that others had tried . .and we took that information back to the doctors office with us. Social networking, especially with the rare cancers, is instant . .you can always find someone who will answer your questions or encourage you to seek out different options. Many of the patients I communicate regularly with have very, very few treatment options . . many of them have not survived their disease. Through social networking we were able to piece together treatments that might work against those that we knew were not working . . . long before any clinical trial evidence became publically available. We also shared clinical trial information . . what was working or what was failing . . and unfortunately with my sons type of cancer almost everything has failed. I would say through the support groups I've been a member of . . I have seen vast improvements in treatment options over the last four or five years . . and most of the information was learned from the experiences of group members as opposed to being presented the information from our pediatric oncologist. This way of learning also helped when we did consult with the oncologists because we became familiar with the medical terminology and could understand more clearly what the oncologist proposed to do. Social networking has helped in understanding the treatments . . if a doctor didn't explain it clearly, often another patient could explain it. Doctors clearly have an understanding of the medical process, but many of them are definitely behind when it comes to social networking about cancer . . many have yet to embrace the phenomenon of cancer support groups sharing information online. Our sons doctor often asked us what other doctors were doing in other parts of the country since she knew we were in communication with other patients. And our doctor always listened to us . . she was able to process the information we shared with her and do her own research to verify what we shared. Through this means my son was offered an experimental treatment called intra abdominal hyperthermic chemoperfusion . . something that had never been done for his age group or disease type . . and I believe that this treatment extended his life by three years. Social networking is important, how important remains to be seen. It also seems like in terms of treatment that we were more involved with our doctor . . we felt more in control of the process and more a part of a team fighting for our sons life instead of just letting the doctor decide everything.
