The alternative cancer treatments do not cure cancer. However, they can control the signs and symptoms to help people with the condition live a better life. Alternative medicine practices can reduce anxiety, nausea, pain, stress, fatigue, vomiting and difficulty sleeping.
In general, alternative treatments are not being supported by modern medicine practitioners. However, research suggests that incorporating alternative treatments with ongoing medication can provide better results. It is an approach commonly known as integrative medicine.
Various evidence-based integrative medicine suggests acupuncture, aromatherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, exercise, hypnosis, massage, meditation, music therapy, relaxation technique, tai chi and yoga can reduce the signs and symptoms of cancer among people.
Moreover, taking regular dietary supplements that are inclusive of vitamins, herbs, spices and cannabis can also reduce the severe signs and symptoms. Although diet cannot cure cancer completely, it can reduce the signs and symptoms to help people with the condition to live a better and happy life.
A study has shown that a Mediterranean diet that is high in fruits and vegetables and low in dairy products can reduce the inflammation of cells to slow down DNA damage. Another study has shown that a Mediterranean diet slows down the angiogenesis process that is a hallmark of cancer growth. Angiogenesis is the formation of new blood vessels that becomes uncontrollable to provide adequate oxygen and nutrition to the cancer cells.
If you are diagnosed with cancer, it is essential for you to incorporate alternative medication in your treatment plan as it can help you with living a happy life with your friends and family.
