My Journey into the World of Alternative Health: Cancer Remedies

Half of my father's family have been affected by cancer and many of them have died after contracting the disease. I knew that if the allopathic doctors were right in their assertion that the tendency toward cancer is a hereditary one that this was something I would likely face at some point in my life.

I realized this at a very young age and, like most people, I was very afraid of cancer. But, far more than that, I was afraid of the extreme and objectionable allopathic treatments that I believe killed so many of my family members. I saw how they died - not from cancer, but from the treatments. It is a horror and it is something that should never happen to anyone. What I've learned is that it doesn't have to.

Even when I was still a teenager, I knew there had to be a better way. I had heard of Mexican cures and for a long time, I always thought that if I ever became ill, I would find a healer south of the border. I didn't trust the men and women in white coats - the allopaths. I saw them as arrogant, ignorant, incompetent and worse - an opinion that has not waned, but has grown as I have learned more about the sadistic history of their profession. Because of my fear and distrust of them and as a matter of preparation for my own future, I began looking for answers to the problem of cancer that I could really use.

The alternative view of cancer is very different from the allopathic view. In spite of millions of dollars or more worth of scientific studies, they know next to nothing about the real nature of cancer. In the world of alternative health philosophy, there is no such thing as a benign tumor. All tumors are considered to be cancer. It is a sign that the glands of the body are not secreting properly and this condition must be remedied. Therefore, the first cancer-fighters I learned about were anti-tumor agents.

In the beginning, I was amazed when I learned that the Native American Indians had known about anti-tumor herbs long ago. Many of these alternative cancer treatments were re-discovered in the 19th century. For instance, a Dr. J. W. Fell concocted a black salve remedy "made of bloodroot extract, zinc chloride, flour, and water" that is rumored to destroy cancer "within two to four weeks (Surgery, Gynecology and Obstetrics)." A man named Tom McCreary found a similar remedy sometimes called black salve or the Balm of Gilead.

By the 1920s, one of the most famous of these remedies, called Hoxsey's Treatment, was being distributed. It was a "topical paste of antimony, zinc and bloodroot, arsenic, sulfur, and talc for external treatments, and a liquid tonic of licorice, red clover, burdock root, Stillingia root, barberry, Cascara, prickly ash bark, buckthorn bark, and potassium iodide for internal consumption (Spencer 142)."

But, this was only the beginning. In a short time, I had come across close to a hundred alternative cancer treatments and I don't doubt that there are hundreds more across the planet.

Some of these treatments were not as successful as others. For instance, kombucha tea (sometimes called the "Manchurian Mushroom," although it is not a mushroom, at all) is said to prevent the formation of tumors, however, in order for the remedy to be effective, it must be taken consistently. If a person who is fighting tumors stops using the remedy, the tumors return. So, while kombucha has some value, it is not the best of alternative cancer treatments. One of the biggest problems I ran across when I was researching alternative cancer treatments was that if the person with cancer had taken as much as one allopathic treatment of radiation or chemotherapy, the alternative remedies were rendered ineffective.

I concluded that the alternative treatments with the best reputation were those that could seemingly work through the damage from allopathic treatments. In all of this time, I have only run across two treatments that have the potential to work for people even after they have taken chemo and radiation.

The first is radionics, about which few people know and the use of which has been long suppressed in the U.S., it's original inventor, Ruth Drown, was twice imprisoned for curing the sick with it. It is considered a "quack device." Nonetheless, it is remarkably effective for an unlimited number of diseases and conditions in the hands of a capable practitioner. Furthermore, because of the nature of the underlying science, which is completely contrary to what most people have been taught, most people are likely to be highly skeptical. Unfortunately, most people are so tragically ignorant of science and mathematics, in general, that it is not possible to educate them about how the machine works and it requires a leap of faith.

The second possibility is an herbal formula known as "Essiac Tea" in Canada or"Guardian Spirit Tea" in the U.S. This old Ojibaway remedy is much more understandable and accessible for most people as it involves a combination of four herbs: Burdock Root, the inner bark of the Slippery Elm, Sheep Sorrel and Indian Rhubarb Root. This herbal combination is rumored to be effective, even with cancer sufferers who have endured chemo and radiation.

By the time I had learned this much, I knew that if it was possible to so simply remedy cancer, one of the most feared diseases in the world, then it is possible to find a solution to virtually any health problem. I never feared cancer again. In fact, I fear no disease, whatsoever. Hardly any disease exists which has not been cured by someone somewhere in the world. The answers are there for anyone with the tenacity and mental fortitude to seek them out and who goes about this with intelligence, fully prepared to take responsibility for their own condition.
