What are the statistics of people cured of cancer by alternative medicine?

I have known a number of people, my brother included, who were diagnosed with cancer and received chemotherapy treatments or radiation treatments. None of them survived, and what was worse, their final months were painful and miserable. I swore I would not get the traditional treatments if I were to contract the disease.

Basically, chemotherapy treatment is based on killing approximately half of the cancer cells in the body, the next treatment is supposed to kill half of the remaining cells, etc. , etc. But this means that all of the cells will never be killed by the chemo and can reproduce and spread, which happens regularly. The patient suffers from stomach upset, loss of hair, inability to taste anything, fatigue, and a number of other adverse side effects, with no guarantee of success. It's believed that everyone has cancer cells in their bodies, but the immune system prevents them from spreading.

Another side effect of chemotherapy is that it weakens the immune system. Some of the alternative treatments include the use of less chemotherapy or radiation combined with regimens for building up the immune system, cleansing the body and internal organs, and meal planning based on the natural properties of foods, vitamins, and herbs. Actual statistics involving traditional therapy vs. alternative therapy in the treatment of cancer are not easily available.

It seems that many of the statistics are based on the amount of time estimated that the person will survive compared to the actual time he/she did survive. Based on that premise, if a person is given 2 years to live and survives for 3 years, it's considered a success, even though the person died. Another problem with the statistics is that many of the success stories are exaggerated by alternative program providers.

And they are not considered to be the accepted form of treatment by the government and the F.D.A.. Some of the reports that are available make claims of 50 to 85% success rates for alternative medicines. Again, the accuracy of these reports is questionable. Statistics are available from the Cancer Treatment Centers of America website which is an organization most Americans are familiar with due to their TV and online advertising.

According to their statistics, people treated for lung cancer, one of the hardest cancers to cure or stop from spreading, the survival rate for persons treated at the CTCA was considerably longer than the national average. For a complete list of comparisons, go to cancercenter.com/cancer-statistics.cfm. The list includes breast, prostrate, lung, and other common cancers.

So although I can't provide complete statistics, I believe that radiation or chemotherapy alone are not completely effective and, if necessary, I would seek out alternative treatments. But I'm not a doctor, nurse, nor any other type of care provider and this is my personal opinion.

Every kind of cancer, in fact all disease has a small rate of spontaneous remission. Often the remission is attributed to prayer, or alternative healing, or meditation or diet, because it is difficult to tell if the remission is due to spontaneous remission or due to the alternatives, thus there can never be an actual percentage.

I don't know about the statistics, but my father was cured of prostate cancer using an alternative method and has now been cancer free for 5 years. There was alot that we learned through this experience. 1.
