ADVANCED HOLISTIC CANCER TREATMENT (Part 1) By Dr. Dirk Wiedbrauck M.D. & N.D. Germany
Therapies will be gentler and more in tune with the physiological body process. We shall be able to end life unharmed and not, as so often today, after unnecessary senseless treatment, ill-treated in body and spirit, poisoned and tortured.
More and more people diagnosed with cancer feel the need to turn away from mainstream medicine into the field of naturopathic medicine. Medical treatment and tumor therapy have undergone many changes during the last decades. The vast range of therapy available can confuse both patient and doctor. The author has succeeded in presenting a complex survey of cancer therapies, concentrating in particular on immunology and complementary medicine, describing and discussing these and giving facts and figures. All his experience in twenty years of holistic cancer treatment will help to provide you with some knowledge to make the right decision for your future. We all must be critical to all kinds of treatments but open for new solutions. All medical means should be considered for the patient's sake.
The possibilities of traditional medicine are exhausted. We can disregard the beneficial effect of radiotherapy however gentle it may be. We all know how the whole world fears the long-term after-effects following the nuclear catastrophe in Chernobyl and on the other hand radiation is supposed to improve health, increase life expectancy and improve quality of life.
Only five percent of all kinds of cancer are cured by chemotherapy! Chemotherapy is the nuclear warhead in all kinds of synthetic treatment. When research on mustard gas demonstrated that it has the ability to kill living cells, particularly those that rapidly divide, such as those in the intestinal tract, bone marrow and lymphatic system, chemotherapy was proposed for the first time. The idea came up soon to use mustard gas to poison cancer, which constitutes the most rapidly dividing cells of all. One of the most used chemotherapy drugs is Cyclophosphamide, which comes from mustard gas. Another drug called Cisplatin (Platinol), made of the heavy metal platinum, can damage nerves and kidneys and cause hearing loss, irreversible loss of motor function, bone marrow suppression, anemia, and blindness. Mechloretamine, an analogue of mustard gas (the M of MOPP treatment, the standard protocol for Hodgkin Disease), is so toxic that those administering the drug are advised to wear rubber gloves and avoid inhaling it.
By using chemotherapy to treat cancer in childhood, many survivors could be trading one type of cancer for a more deadly one later. It is common sense now to know that cancer patients suffer from severe immune system damage; on the other hand, these drugs are supposed to improve health, increase life expectancy, and improve quality of life. The average North American swallows approximately 50,000 pills during his lifetime. In using chemicals we believe that we can regulate our day, but that is not what it takes. Already in the year 1673, Moliere wrote in his stage play, “The Imaginary Patient,” that most human beings die from the drugs they use and not from the disease.
Approximately 300,000 North Americans die from side effects of synthetic drugs; that makes for 822 people per day, 34 per hour, or two persons per minute. Some 959,000 Americans, aged sixty and older, were hospitalized in 1999 after reacting to a drug. Modern Asthma treatment with inhalers has increased forty percent, to over 5,000 deaths per year, in users between the ages of five to thirty-four. In a recent Canadian study, asthmatics that inhaled thirteen or more canisters of Fenoterol in a year increased their risk of dying by ninety times.
A flexible, open attitude is necessary for doctor and patient to help and support measures. This will open a new horizon to successful treatments and holistic approaches, which are desperately needed. This script would like to see the patient become responsible for himself and encourage him to think and decide for himself so that we can cope this illness by making best use of gentle medicine with its gentle tricks and molecular biology. Everyone should have the right to decide for himself, even in illness. Political or economic interests should not influence choice of treatment. The patient must be free to choose the therapy, which will suit him and help him best and last but not least, a therapy he has confidence in. For all those who are hopefully, still in a healthy condition, I would like to encourage for active prevention to avoid this epidemic disease which will be responsible for number one cause of death in less then 5 years.
Something to think about:
Those are the fools,
Who halt at their first discoveries.
Those are the wise,
Who travel through their errors to the truth.
More to come — this series will continue into next month's article.
