Re: cancer and its treatments
D_B; I still CANNOT understand HOW vitamins kill cancer! and if they did why on earth are there so many radiation oncology departments all over the world, even in the west? whats been most shocking is how you mention that even if the cancer has metastisized, then it is still able to be treated.
Cure lies in the hands of Allah, but most doctors will throw in the towel if a patient suffers from secondary cancers! they stop all curative treatments and treat 'em palliatively, more like pain boosts and whatnot.
You need to break the cancer’s DNA in at least two places so that it doesn’t self repair, only then can the cancerous cells be “killed”. I cant see HOW vitamins could possibly kill such cells. And if the recovery is close to 100% then why is it not popular?!? With the radiation oncologists I work with, I have YET to hear them mention something remotely close to this.
I would appreciate link to journal articles that have perhaps discussed what you are suggesting, and/or clinical trials that reflect its applicability to the treatment of cancer (even metastatic :hayaa:)
K_B; cancer (to my knowledge) can be treated with
- surgery (physically removing the tumour)
- chemotherapy (using chemicals to increase the tumour’s radiosensitivity and/or kill cells)
- radiotherapy (where high energy electrons/ photons are employed to deposit a lethal dose of radiation to the tumour and
- brachytherapy (where a radioactive source is either placed inside, or close to the tumour). More often then not, its a mixture of these, like surgery followed by radiotherapy.
new techniques include BNCT (boron neutron capture therapy) and Proton therapy. Proton therapy is the lastest development but it is daaaaamn expensive! BNCT is still not as popular.
as for stories, I think I mentioned a few in the first post of this thread
