Chemotherapy is an adjunctive treatment that is unfortunately often mis-used as a primary treatment. It can have some benefits and especially when combined with Alternative Cancer Therapies it can do some “heavy lifting”. However, chemotherapy increases toxicity of the body, harms the immune system and can have some very health damaging side effects.
Radiation is used with some types of cancer as a primary therapy to reduce tumours. Patients often suffer from severe side effects and functional defects due to radiotherapy. Tumours need to be identified and discrete as this is not a cell-based treatment.
Cutting the cancer tissue out can be a fast method to remove the tumour, but if cancer tissue remains undiscovered, the cancer may continue to develop. And depending on the tumor’s position, the operation can have serious side effects.
All the aforementioned and most frequently applied forms of cancer therapy fight the cancer inside the patient’s body and try to free it from the infected cells. However, they mainly fight the effects of the cancer and don’t target the root cause.
Therapies that reinforce the body’s natural abilities to fight cancer are supported by scientists around the globe. If there is hope in the fight against cancer, it is certainly in Immunotherapy.
If the immune system is fully functional, it has the astonishing ability to kill cancer cells on its own. Even in a healthy body, every day up to 150,000 cancer cells can appear and be removed by the immune system.
Cancer is the highest cause for premature death, but in the last 15 years there were only two Nobel Medicine prizes granted in the battle against cancer. Both of them were for immunotherapy (in 2011 to R. Steinman, and in 2018 to P. Allison and T. Honjo) and if there is hope in cancer health, it is in Immunotherapy.
While Allison and Honjo opened up the cancer cells for the immune attack with a specific chemotherapy, Steinman empowered the immune system to uncover the cancer cells naturally. Dendritic cells can detect and expose malignant cells with so-called ‘killer cells’ (NK, T-cells or T-lymphocytes) before they multiply and cause further damage to the body. Therapies that enhance the capacity of the body to fight cancer are supported by scientists all over the world. This approach teaches the body’s immune system how to expose and kill cancer cells.
Since 2014, Immucura has been helping patients to fight cancer with the most advanced scientific breakthroughs in Cancer Health. Immunotherapies have proven to be a very effective, minimally non-invasive weapon against cancer. They are the key elements in Immucura’s integrative approach. Immucura also offer sblood analysis, nutritional advice, targeted supplementation and other complementary therapies.
