CANCER: CHEMOTHERAPY TREATMENT

Will Chemotherapy Work for You?

Cancer cells, once exposed to a chemical agent such as chemotherapy, have the unique intelligence to create methods to improve their ability to cope and survive. This can result in a resistance to chemotherapy, which acts as an obstacle to treatment success. Cancer cells not only develop a resistance to the particular chemotherapy drugs being used, but also to other toxic drugs and chemicals that they have not yet encountered. Therefore, chemotherapy may initially seem to decrease cancer cells; however, as the cancerous cells develop their own methods of protecting against these drugs, the chemotherapy treatment will, in many cases, hit a plateau.

The effectiveness of chemotherapy depends largely on the condition of the cancer cell. If the tumour is hypoxic (lacking oxygen) or the mitochondrial function within the cell is compromised, chemotherapy is often of little value. Initially you may see a rapid decrease in the size of the tumour, however this is only a reflection of destruction of the weakest cancer cells, leaving the more resistant super-survivors to re-establish themselves and grow their own ‘city network’ again.

To be successful, chemotherapy needs to kill all cancer cells, otherwise it is just a technique for allowing the strongest cancer cells to survive and replicate themselves. Apart from this, chemotherapy leaves harmful toxins within the body that act as carcinogens and if not detoxified may cause the onset of secondary and more aggressive cancers.

Determining Whether Chemotherapy is Working

Certain medical tests and natural diagnostic tests can indicate how successful the chemotherapy treatment is. Blood testing, physical examinations, scans and x-rays are all orthodox diagnostic methods used to indicate how well treatment is working. There are also a number of alternative therapy tests that can offer insight into your present health condition, for example, Live Blood Analysis, Magnagraph testing and Computerized Iridology.

Never hesitate to ask the doctor about your results and what they indicate about your progress. Lack of side effects from the chemotherapy is not an indication that the treatment is not working. Side effects vary from person to person and treatment to treatment depending on many factors and what you are actively doing to assist your treatment.

Use the modern diagnostic techniques to monitor your condition and always ask your health practitioner how effective your treatment is and how your condition is improving. The doctor may tell you in the beginning, ‘we need to get your tumour markers down to 0 to ensure you are in remission’. Later you may find out this isn’t the case, as some doctors, perhaps even out of a misguided concern for your wellbeing, tend to keep you in the dark about your condition, assuming you don’t have the knowledge to comprehend or understand your own illness. Never let any doctor keep you in the dark, ask for details about everything, write down questions to ask at your next appointment and never be swayed from knowing everything about your condition.
