Patrick Rodgers wrote an interesting article “Better alternatives for cancer treatment.” I quote the aritcle:

“There is a swell building in world of medicine, particularly the field of cancer treatment. What was once considered “alternative medicine” – using nutritional and herbal supplements as a way of maintaining a more holistic approach to health – is fighting for a place at the table in the ongoing discussion of how to best treat cancer patients.”

The article indicates that years ago alternative medicine was “very folksy.” I am assuming that what is meant by this is that these were treatments that were passed down from older generations.

Did your mother ever use a “mustard plaster” on you to break up a bad cold? Her grandmother taught her mother and now your mother is doing the same thing for you. Not a lot of science! Just a lot of belief in the old family formula!

“Conventional medicine and naturopathic treatments do not have to be adversarial though, and when used properly, complimentary treatments can make a significant difference for the patients.” … “If you take the best of both realms and you piece them together intelligently you can get amazing results,” the article explains.”

The article is well written. If you are trying to decide between alternative and conventional medicine you should read it.

It is best to use alternative medicine that has science and testing behind it. You may be interested in looking at some the studies we have on our site at Himmaacala.

Would you use alternative medicine to treat cancer? Do you think that using this type of medicine is like going to a “medicine man” or taking some “witches brew.”

Let us know how you feel about this.
