Alternative Bladder Cancer Treatment

Saturday, July 31st, 2010

Bladder cancer is the growth of malignant cells in the lining of the bladder. Often, more than one tumor is present at a time, and the cancer may spread into and through the wall of the bladder. The most frequent symptom of bladder cancer is painless hematuria (blood in the urine), although commonly there are no symptoms at all. Therefore, when symptoms of a bladder disorder do arise, they are most often due to other, less serious, conditions such as infections, benign prostate enlargement, or bladder stones. Bladder cancer is rare before the age of 40 and is more common among men.

For a balance treatment we have to examine first the conventional way and then the alternative bladder cancer treatment.

Prevention

Don’t smoke cigarettes. Exercise caution if you work with industrial dyes or in the rubber industry. If you have a family history of the disease, get regular checkups. See your doctor regularly if you have had bladder cancer to screen for recurrences.

Treatment

Tumors in the early stages may be removed surgically through the cystoscope. Such tumors may recur, thus requiring repeated cystocopy every three months for one to two more years, and then yearly for life. Recurrences may also be treated with chemotherapeutic agents instilled directly into the bladder with a catheter. Chemotherapy given intravenously is used if evidence indicates that the cancer has spread. If the cancer is advanced, removal of the entire bladder is required. Radiation and chemotherapy may also be used. Basic information has been given for conventional bladder cancer treatment. We will discuss now some of the recommended treatment. Alternative prevention and treatment are increasing and are now gaining prominence in the scientific world. Madison Cavanaugh, author of “The One-Minute Cure, The Secret to Healing Virtually All Diseases” has a message of hope, however. She insists that,  “Microbes, germs, harmful bacteria and viruses, and all kinds of cancer, do not cause the problem they’re only effects of a hidden cause,” she states. They do only seek their natural dwelling place or habitat such as an oxygen- deficient body rather than being the cause of the disease. Therefore it can be stated that cancer does not cause the problem, but rather seeks out an environment where it can thrive best and that is in oxygen-deprived bodies. A sufficiently oxygenated body is uninhabitable by disease, Madison further states, any viruses and malignant cancer cells can neither survive nor thrive in it. Therefore, the best defense against microbes, germs, harmful bacteria and viruses, and all kinds of cancer is to keep the body oxygenated.

Alternative Cancer Treatments ? Finding a New Way to Reduce the Pain

Monday, July 26th, 2010

Anybody suffering from cancer tries to take help of whatever he or she can to relieve the pain, stress, and anxiety associated with this dreaded disease. Alternative cancer treatments do not always offer cure for cancer, but cancer patients can definitely get some sort of relief. Whether somebody is suffering from liver cancer, breast cancer, or cancer in any other body part, alternative cancer treatment can lessen his/her pain. They are not natural cancer cures; and they are in no way substitutes to the conventional cancer treatments prescribed by the doctor.

 

Many such alternate treatment methodologies are yet to be proven and established, and can even have adverse effects. However, some of the treatment methodologies are quite safe and there are evidences that support the benefits one can expect from them. Now, we will explore briefly some of these safe, alternative cancer treatment methodologies. You need to work closely with your doctor to determine the right balance between conventional and alternative cancer treatment approaches.

 

Acupuncture

In this alternative form of cancer treatment, a practitioner inserts tiny needles into the skin of the cancer patient at precise points. Studies have established that acupuncture can provide some relief from the nausea caused by chemotherapy. It can also alleviate certain types of pain associated with cancer. Though safe, acupuncture should be done from a licensed practitioner only. The needles should be sterilized too. The method is unsafe for those cancer patients who have low blood counts. The doctor should be consulted first before going for acupuncture.

 

Aromatherapy

In aromatherapy, practitioners use fragrant oils to provide a calming sensation. The oils can either be used over the skin during massaging, or they can be applied to the bathing water. Sometimes the fragrant oil is heated to release their scents. Though aromatherapy cannot be categorized as natural cancer cures, it is helpful in lessening nausea, pain and stress.

 

Hypnosis

We all know that hypnosis is a highly powerful therapy for multiple ailments. It can also provide relief for cancer patients. During a hypnotherapy session, the therapist will hypnotize the patient using gentle voice and will be helping the patient to relax. The therapist will boost up the patient’s mental power and help him/her to focus on the goals at hand – controlling pain and reduction of stress.

 

Tai Chi

Tai Chi is a form of exercise that stresses on gentle body movements and deep breathing. Tai Chi can be practiced under a qualified instructor, or can be learnt by reading books and watching videos. This alternative therapy is helpful in case the patient is finding difficulty to sleep at night.

 

Yoga

Yoga, one of the oldest curative therapies in the world, consists of stretching exercises and deep breathing. Yoga consists of “pranayamas” and “asanas”. The former consists of breathing techniques and the latter consists of body stretching and formation of several postures that help stimulate positive metabolic activities in the body. For cancer patients, yoga relieves stress, helps in getting good sleep at night, and reduces fatigue.

 

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is another form of alternative cancer treatments that relieves muscular tension and promotes relaxation. There are various flavors of massage therapy. It can be light and gentle, or it can be deep with greater pressure. Several studies have established that massages relieve pain in cancer patients. It also helps in combating stress and fatigue. Do not go for massage therapy if you have a low blood count. Ask the therapist to avoid massaging near surgical scars, radiation treatment areas, or tumors. In case of cancer in bones, light pressure should be exerted.

 

Apart from these popular alternative cancer treatments mentioned here, there are other methods like – music therapy, biofeedback and physical exercise as well.
