Natural Breast Cancer Treatment Options - Saving Breasts, Saving Lives

Women are taught early to do self exams, and to have breast exams along

with their annual pap smears. Although the American Cancer Society

recommends mammogram screening for women age 50 or earlier if there are

risk factors, radiation from mammograms may actually cause breast

cancer. The pressure from squeezing the breast during a mammogram can

also spread cancer cells. One study in Sweden followed 60,000 women, and

found that 70% of mammogram readings that found tumors were false

positive, confirmed by biopsy, leading to unnecessary stress and

invasive biopsies.

 

Breast lumps that are soft, smooth, round and movable are likely benign.

A hard, oddly shaped lump that feels firmly attached is usually cancer.

 

Standard testing for breast cancer includes mammograms, ultrasounds, MRI

and biopsy. Breast cancer is commonly treated with surgery to remove the

lump or to remove the breast and surrounding lymph nodes. This surgery

and radiation treatments can cause lymphedema, or a build-up of lymph

fluid in fatty tissues just under the skin. Women who suffer with

lymphedema may lose the mobility of their arm, experience pain, itching

and thickening of the skin, insomnia, hair loss and irritability.

Chemotherapy causes vomiting, hair loss, nausea and extreme fatigue.

Radiation of the chest can cause heart damage and severe heart disease

may follow. If the cancer growth is spurred by hormones, then hormone

blocking drugs are added to the treatment program. Tamoxifin and

Herceptin are two such drugs.

 

There are other options such as those offered by Hope4Cancer Institute

in Baja, Mexico. They combine SonoPhoto Dynamic Therapy, local and whole

body hyperthermia, detoxification, immunotherapy, nutrition, enzymes and

IV therapy.

 

Sound wave hyperthermia has been used in Europe for three decades,

although this type of hyperthermia has not been approved in the USA.

Hyperthermia uses specific sound wave frequencies to heat cancer cells

and destroy them. These frequencies do not affect normal cells, so there

are no side effects. Treatments are painless and non-invasive.
