Posted by Keelie on September 29th, 2021

Cancer is something that affects 1 out of 2 women and 1 out of 3 men at some point in their life. Chemotherapy is the most popular treatment for those who suffer with this condition but does not work for everyone. Seeking out alternative therapies may prove highly beneficial to your condition and overall health. 

What Are Three Integrative Cancer Treatments?

Chemotherapy attempts to eliminate cancer cells while also eliminating healthy noncancerous cells leaving you with a weakened immune system. You may find yourself looking into alternative therapies or wanting to add to your chemotherapy treatment with integrative therapy. Most integrative cancer treatments are not FDA-approved and are considered experimental. Below you will find three different kinds of alternative therapies used to treat cancer:

  1. Intravenous High Dose Vitamin Therapy

This therapy begins with a nurse inserting a needle into your vein and infusing your blood with a high dose of Vitamin C. Vitamin C Therapy helps the body heal faster, energizes you, enhances your immune system, decreases pain in the body, and so much more.  Hydration therapy is also included. There are several other vitamins that are highly beneficial intravenously. 

Glutathione is another supplement that many suffer deficiencies in. This essential antioxidant helps fight free radicals found in the body which is how cancer begins in the first place. Our modern diet, lifestyle choices, and genetic mutations within our DNA create deficiencies with the absorption of this crucial chemical. Receiving a high dose intravenously ensures a greater chance of absorption and this antioxidant can get to work right away. Glutathione is part of so many different bodily interactions. Including this supplement into your regimen will help lower oxidative stress, improve insulin resistance as well as cellular function, provide support to the central nervous system, and so much more. 

  1. Herbal Medicine

There is a reason herbal remedies have been around for centuries and that is because they work. Modern-day medicine is rooted in ancient herbal medicine. In some parts of the world herb medicine is still the primary form of treatment. There are several herbs that are not approved for human use. Many have proven effective in animal studies, even one killing up to 12,000 for everyone healthy cell. This herb is called the artemisinin also known as the Trojan Horse and unfortunately requires more research before testing on humans. 

Mistletoe, commonly used as a holiday decoration, is used to help fight cancers. The extract is taken from the plant and shown to stimulate the immune system. There is positive research showing it is effective at helping with conventional cancer treatment recovery as well as survival rates. Dosages can be modified and starting with a minimal dose and working your way up is always recommended. This process helps you see if you have any adverse reactions and should be the protocol with all medications and supplements. 

  1. Diet and Lifestyle Modifications

The way we care for our bodies greatly affects our physical, mental, and emotional health. If changing our diet and lifestyle can improve one of these areas it will make you one step closer to optimal wellness. What you fuel your body runs through every organ and every cell. Eating nutrient-dense foods can provide the body with vital nutrients it needs to heal, defend, and irradicate toxins from the body. 

These integrative therapies are often used in addition to chemotherapy or instead of chemotherapy. It is difficult to know what treatments are best and you want to use things that will be most effective. These therapies promote the body to do what it was created to do. Integrative cancer treatments support the body and help strengthen your immune system which needs all the support it can get when battling cancer.
