Cancer Prevention and Alternative Treatments

Ty Bollinger in his book Cancer - Step Outside the Box  claims natural, low cost measures and treatments are the best way to prevent and even cure cancer.  He asserts that traditional western medicine is very expensive and mostly ineffective in its approach to cancer, using only a slash (operate), burn (radiation) and poison (chemotherapy) methodology which, Ty claims, is often counter productive.

I recently read Cancer - Step Outside the Box and will comment on it in this and upcoming blogs.  I will try to be open minded, not biasing myself toward or away from Ty's view.

If you haven't read Ty's book, but would like to get an overview, you can see his website at www.cancertutor.com

Traditional Approaches to Cancer Prevention and Cure

Prevention:  Not a lot, you are encouraged to quit smoking, stay out of the sun, and to some extent avoid toxic chemicals (as in precautionary labels on household products).

Cures: Primarily surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy.  We will get more into this later

Alternative, Natural Approaches to Cancer Prevention and Cure

Prevention:  There is a wealth of preventive measures that natural practitioners recommend in addition to the measures recommended by traditional sources.  Some are avoiding chemicals by eating organic foods, avoiding red meat, and avoiding sugar.  We will look at these closely as some of them make quite a bit of sense.

Cures:  Yes, in Ty's book he claims that natural and much much less expensive methods will cure cancer.  Here things can get controversial.  In upcoming blogs we will investigate these supposed cures a little closer.
