Cancer Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. Each year, well over 550,000 people lose their lives due to cancer. Of this number over 33 percent are believed to be attributable to dietary factors, as every bite of food that enters our body plays a key role in determining the degree of health we enjoy. Dietary studies around the world have shown that excessive intake of the wrong kinds of fats, particulary when coupled with an inadequate consumption of fiber, results in a higher incidence of certain cancers. Research shows that a deficiency of certain vitamins and minerals in the diet fosters the development of cancerous tumors. It is entirely possible that simpy making some sweeping changes in the national diet could dramatically reduce the number of lives lost to cancer every year. Despite over twenty five years of research, with billions of dollars spent each year, the conventional medical establishment's "war on cancer" has been a dismal failure. Today, surgery, radiation and chemotherapy (cut, burn and poison) remain the only three options available to the conventional medical community to treat cancer. These three options frequently cause more sickness and disability than the cancer they are intended to treat. In fact, many people with cancer die as as result of the toxic poisons they are treated with instead of dying from cancer. The majority of cancer types including breast, colon, prostate, liver, lung, cervical, ovarian, and others can be improved and brought into remission with alternative medicine techniques and therapies. Unfortunately, most people continue to equate cancer with death, or, at the very least, an excruciating journey filled with physical debilitation and pain. However, a variety of alternative and integrative therapies exist which are safer and more gentle in the treatment and prevention of cancer than standard conventional techniques. And if you choose to use conventional therapies, alternative medicine techniques can be very successful adjunct therapies to improve immune function, restore nutritional status and improve the effectiveness of conventional therapies while minimizing side effects. Dr. Eric R. Hampton and Dr. Melinda J. Whitsell of Westhampton Natural Medicine in Mesa, Arizona offer many therapies used successfully around the world to stimulate the immune system, restore nutrient status, generally improve quality of life and prevent cancer without dangerous side effects. Every therapy listed above may not be appropriate or even necessary for everyone with cancer. We recognize that every person is unique and that every therapy and treatment plan must be designed specifically for each individual. Your specific treatment plan will be determined by the stage and type of cancer you have, your lifestyle, and the results of diagnostic tests as deemed necessary for your situation. |
