Introduction and complete list of Healing Cancer Naturally articles: Why Choose Alternative Cancer Treatment, a powerful sequence of incisive, outspoken (and often shocking) statements & articles by cancer specialists, researchers, patients and thinkers on subjects surrounding conventional and alternative cancer treatment. Possible Serious Side Effects of Orthodox Cancer Treatment Doctors Might Not Have Told You Aboutby Healing Cancer Naturally © 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 & 2009 Apart from the better-publicised potential side effects of chemotherapy, radiation “therapy” and surgery such as nausea, hair & weight loss and weakness,
here are a number of possible and very serious clinical complications, consequences and observations you should be aware of before deciding to submit to any one cancer treatment protocol recommended by conventional, orthodox • Stroke
• The reader is advised to start by reading Chronic radiation enteritisRadiation injury consisting in long-standing inflammation of the intestines (especially of the small intestine) expressed as constant daily diarrhea following radiation therapy to the abdomen or pelvis (abdominal or pelvic irradiation) The National Cancer Institute writes the following on Chronic Radiation Enteritis: “Radiation enteritis is a functional disorder of the large and small bowel
that occurs during or following a course of radiation therapy to the abdomen, pelvis, or rectum. The large and small bowel are very sensitive to ionizing radiation. Although the probability of tumor control increases with the
radiation dose, so does the damage to normal tissues. Acute side effects to the intestines occur at approximately 1000 cGy. Since curative doses for many abdominal or pelvic tumors range between 5000 and 7500 cGy, enteritis is
likely to occur. Almost all patients undergoing radiation to the abdomen, pelvis, or rectum will show signs of acute enteritis. Injuries clinically evident during the first course of radiation and up to 8 weeks later are
considered acute. Chronic radiation enteritis may present months to years after the completion of therapy or it may begin as acute enteritis and persist after the cessation of treatment. Only 5% to 15% of persons treated with
radiation to the abdomen will develop chronic problems. [Please note the use of the word “only”.] ... In general, the higher the daily and total dose delivered to the normal bowel and the greater the volume of normal bowel
treated, the greater the risk of radiation enteritis. In addition, ...individual patient variables ... can decrease vascular flow to the bowel wall and impair bowel motility, increasing the chance of radiation injury.” You can

Chronic radiation proctitisRadiation injury consisting in inflammation of the rectum and anus/rectal inflammation as side effect of pelvic radiation/pelvic radiotherapy “Chronic radiation proctitis represents a challenging condition seen with increased frequency due to the common use of radiation for treatment of pelvic cancer. Hemorrhagic [bleeding] radiation proctitis represents the most feared complication of chronic radiation proctitis. There is no consensus for the management of this condition despite the great number of clinical approaches and techniques that have been employed. Rectal resection represents an available option although associated with high morbidity and risk of permanent colostomy. The effectiveness of nonoperative approaches remains far from desirable, and hemorrhagic recurrence represents a major drawback that leads to a need for consecutive therapeutic sessions and combination of techniques.” Source of quote Though reportedly a daily regimen of antioxidant vitamins E and C provides a successful and sustained treatment of chronic radiation proctitis, substantially reducing or eliminating discomfort, consider this testimonial: “...we have a patient in our group who underwent radiation therapy for prostate cancer. He now suffers from severe radiation proctitis and is experiencing severe pains. We understand that very high doses of Vit. C and E might help with this problem but now, even after some weeks on the vitamin treatment there is very little relief of the pains. I understand that uterine, ovarian and cervical cancer patients also stand the risk of radiation proctitis. Radiation enteritis is another horror that is possible with radiation therapy.” For advice regarding relief, see Combatting radiation poisoning tips: Chelating (detoxifying) excess ionizing radiation & destructive radioactivity from your body and treating radiation burns naturally. Stroke after radiotherapy [M]y grandmother ... had breast cancer and did the radiation [treatment]s. Only several years after she finished the [radiotherapy], I learnt about the
research (including one that was published in The Lancet), that one of the side effects of the radiation [treatment]s is stroke. That way, people who die of stroke do not enter into the statistics of cancer death. So we
"beat cancer" they tell us, "the statistics shows less cancer deaths thanks to radiations" but more stroke deaths from this same treatment. They don't tell us that. Torturous pain after multiple surgeries I have recently discovered the possible cause of my pain (which I suspected to be due to cancer]. It’s good news and bad news. I have had 2 C sections
(Horizontal incision, and 2 vertical from cancer surgery). Doctors never tell you the ramifications of surgery. I have extreme stabbing pains at the incision sites as well as in my inner thigh (which I assumed was swollen lymph
nodes) and my outer thigh and buttocks burn with constant pain at night. I don't take any pain meds since I am on the Budwig Protocol so I suffer through it. And I mean suffer. Miscellaneous serious sequelae of conventional cancer treatmentsCase 1: from a letter received by Healing Cancer Naturally “I was given radiation of 8000 rads to the left inguinal (groin) region in 1985 for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. A colostomy* was subsequently done for the burst of the
radiated site which was diagnosed as fecal fistula. Today the radiated wound is non healing and I feel you can help me. I am currently receiving lymphedema treatments at a hospital and maybe there will be a correction surgery for my prolapsed colostomy.” * Colostomy: a surgical operation in which the colon is shortened to remove a damaged part and the cut end diverted to an opening in the abdominal wall (New Oxford Dictionary of English) ** The shocking picture shows a man with what looks like a blood-filled colostomy bag whose right leg is grotesquely inflated and deeply blackened, with his testicles combined enlarged to the size of a football. It seems that either the radiation treatment or the colostomy surgery (possibly involving resection of major lymph vessels) brought on very serious lymphedema, an often hushed-up possible grave consequence of tumor excisions and other cancer surgery as well as radiation treatment. Case 2: from a post to a Budwig diet & protocol cancer support group In our experience, with my husband who had a stem cell transplant for multiple myeloma, the doctor was satisfied and called the transplant a success because my husband achieved "partial remission" after transplant. This is considered a success for the doctor. - infections (line infection, and other infections which they could not even determine where exactly they were localized). On top on this... despite all the medication he took to "fix" this problem out, not in contact with children at all or even members of the family if they had a cold or something... patients exposed to high doses of chemo) to blow his nose day and night not being able to rest and many others..... And to top this, while in hospital with infection after transplant, we heard that a guy (younger than my husband) and who had the transplant in the same time as my husband, died from pneumonia. Of course pneumonia was related to the transplant and to the fact that his immune system was destroyed by the transplant itself. But what do you think the doctor wrote in his death certificate ? I don't know but I can only guess. So, yes...you can be "cured" by doctors and be extremely sick afterwards, or even die after the doctors are done with you. Case 3: from a Budwig diet & protocol cancer support group Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) – Liver Cancer with spread of the cancer to portal vein, cancer caused by Hepatitis C received over two decades ago from blood transfusion during stomach surgery: Patient had severe side effects of chemotherapy and has been hospitalised. He started suffering from gases and breathlessness during the night just after the second dose of chemotherapy (gemcitabin and cisplatin). His blood counts dropped significantly (which were below normal before the first dose, so mild dosis was given). Platelets count dropped to 10,000. Case 4: contributed by Elliot Yudenfriend In "Cancer As A Turning Point," Lawrence LeShan describes the case of a woman who was to undergo a CT scan, which generally requires the injection of
a contrast dye. The woman KNEW she was allergic to the dye, but the radiologist and his nurse convinced her to get the injection anyway. Sixty seconds after she received the dye injection she was dead. Case 5: from a letter received by Healing Cancer Naturally Chemotherapy & loss of sex drive/frigidity: “...when I went through chemo 3 1/2 yrs ago it completely destroyed my sex drive. I have very little sensations anywhere. Is there something that is all natural that can help me? My family doctor wasn't too helpful in this area.” Forgetfulness and mental fog of the 'chemo brain' "The mental fog and forgetfulness of 'chemo brain' are no figment of your imagination. Important addendum: On the power of the human mindWhile the reader is asked to send in any similar “medical horror stories” for the sake of those who might be spared a similar fate by reading about and thus choosing not to submit to dangerous damaging treatments, I need to add the following qualifying remarks: Healing Cancer Naturally is about giving people hope and confidence, not about instilling fear. Many real-life examples are featured here which show the overriding influence the mind and emotions can have on “matter” (= energy), including the way a patient’s body reacts for instance to chemotherapy. See Chemo/Radiation & Mind Power: A woman who chose to undergo chemotherapy wrote upon the bottles containing the chemicals "PURE LOVE". She had no side effects whatsoever from the chemotherapy! On the other hand, in a scientific placebo chemotherapy tests on cancer patients featured on 14-04-04 in a medical programme shown on the Discovery channel, it was found that 1/3 of the patients who had received the placebo chemotherapy actually showed side effects (hair loss and nausea)! (Reported in path-ways.com/forums/printthread.php?t=2316.) Both of the above examples furnish good illustrations of the powerful influence “intangible” elements such as mental, emotional and spiritual factors can have on our body and health. You will find more impressive examples of the enormous impact of the mind and the power of belief in Real-Life Healing Stories: Cancer: The Power of Belief to (literally) heal or kill as well as further uplifting stories illustrative of the beneficial and healing influence of various spiritual factors in Cancer Healing & Spirituality. So keeping this in mind, there can be little doubt that many treatments offered as therapy by conventional oncologists are highly toxic, fraught with potential (and even lethal) peril and pain and therefore not advised and endorsed by Healing Cancer Naturally, but there is also little doubt that the human spirit, if properly used, and a cheerful, hopeful and/or philosophical disposition in spite of it all can victoriously rise above such assaults, not to mention the invigorating effect of strengthening foods and powerful energetic tools, see Healing Cancer With Nutrition, Energetics (particularly EFT) and Healing Cancer & Your Mind.
