This entire spinal cord-related nervous system is enclosed within and protected by the spinal bones (vertebrae). The adult spine contains 24 vertebrae and extends from the base of the skull to the pelvis. These include:
- Seven cervical (neck) vertebrae, labeled C1 to C7. These create a gentle inward curve at the base of the head.
- Twelve thoracic vertebrae, labeled T1 to T12, which move outward at the shoulders and back in toward the lower spine.
- Five lumbar vertebrae, labeled L1 to L5, which create the gentle arch at the small of the back.
How Can I Benefit from Alternative Cancer Treatments?
When possible, alternative cancer treatments options are intended to address the underlying causes rather than just manage or mask symptoms. This can help to achieve a more permanent resolution. Unlike many traditional cancer treatments, alternative cancer therapies typically use solutions that only minimally compromise other aspects of a patient’s health while treating the cancer, leading to:
- Fewer side effects from treatment
- A strengthened (instead of damaged) immune system
- Carrying on with your life and daily routine while undergoing treatments
Kinds of Alternative Cancer Treatments
Direct-tumor therapies can be very beneficial when they are combined with complementary therapies that stimulate the body’s ability to combat a tumor or cancer more efficiently. Patients should consider and weigh the risks vs. the benefits of radiation and chemotherapy treatments, being aware that these therapies may disrupt and compromise the normal function of the body.
Bodily fluids, including the plasma in your blood, can absorb much higher quantities of oxygen during hyperbaric oxygen therapy. This increased absorption can significantly increase oxygen uptake by the body’s cells, tissues, organs, glands, and structures. This may help to:
- Reduce tumor growth
- Stimulate the body’s natural healing stem cells
- Reduce inflammation
- Improve immune function
- Replenish damaged tissues
- Improve delivery of cancer drugs to tumors
A diet rich in cancer-fighting vitamins, minerals, and nutrients, and low in the compounds that can increase cancer risk is essential to support cancer treatments and other alternative cancer therapies. A nutrition coach can provide patients with a well-researched and established cancer nutritional protocol. You can also learn about the many powerful cancer-fighting foods which exist. The information you need to make better dietary choices during your treatment is a powerful cancer-fighting tool.
Intravenous (IV) vitamin C therapy elevates levels of this potent anti-cancer vitamin to 70 to 100 times higher than taking it orally. Vitamin C has been shown to kill cancer cells and has antitumor activity.
You may also wish to try adjunctive therapies that can support the body while it is undergoing cancer treatment. These include treatments such as:
- Far infrared light therapy (infrared sauna)
- Colon hydrotherapy
- Chelation therapy
For more information on these and other alternative cancer therapies, contact a qualified provider. Schedule an initial consultation to discover which treatments may produce the result you seek: to be cancer-free.
