The Elusive Truth About Cancer: What to do when it is someone else's choice.

Have you ever been confronted with evidence that you found to be inadequate, but you had to rely on a little faith to unfold the truth? Have you had someone close to you hear that dark "C" word that noone should have to hear, and you want answers?

According to the WHO, there are approximately twenty million new cancer diagnosis each year (as of 2022). Ten percent of those cases were in the United States alone. In other words, if you took the entire Kansas City metro area plus, and you gave them cancer, you would be around the US quota for new diagnosis. Add onto that the number that were already diagnosed, and one can see just how widespread this sickness is. This silent killer can come in many shapes and sizes with just as many limitations placed on the patient and physician treating them due to medical history, finances, risk factors, location and operability of the cancer- and the belief system of the patient.

Belief system of the patient- that has a tone to it that envelopes the entire process of treating that beast called cancer. In today's rising doubt of modern medicine and medical business ethics, there is a greater voice that demands to be heard. This voice not only denies permission for standardized modern medicine, but also turns toward either complacency or homeopathy.

As a Healthcare provider I am blessed with many opportunities to help those who have started on their own unique path through cancer. I've see the lucky, the angry, the resigned, the helpless, the neglected, the hopeless, and, most recently, the defiant. They just won't accept that they are at a juncture affecting their voice for the rest of their lives. Chemo and radiation, or homeopathy? As a medical professional in lymphatics, and as one who has had cancer hit close several times in my family, I am tasked as the role of supporting cast in their story. Damn the tears and heartache, those in my care deserve honesty and support. They want to be cured and well, but they don't always want the path that would kill them either way. They also don't want the years left on this earth to be full of such a miserable "cure" that the disease would have been easier.

One such example lies with one of my favorite people in the world. Let's call her Martha. Martha has always been strong, stubborn, direct, but gracious. If she wants her grandkids to have dessert on Sunday without their meals being consumed, she will make sure she has her way. You can't argue with grandma. Then grandma has cancer, and she does not want to pursue most extensive treatment options.

Another example is "Debbie" who is married to a long-time friend of my family. Debbie has raised her kids to work hard in the land and in the world. She has the curse of cancer in her genes, though, and she has been diagnosed with tripple negative breast cancer in spite of a reasonably healthy body. She chose to pursue the homeopathic cure of Ivermectin and Fenbendazole with a protein rich diet and copious amounts of vitamin C. She takes dandelion tea at least once a day.

Before she came to me, her tumor exudated, throwing her into leaking for the last several months. The final straw that led to her finally coming to me was the edema that began to set in. When the body has more to clean than healthy lymph nodes, it is common for edema to set in, and cancer patients often lose function of lymph nodes due to surgical removal, swelling, or severe pressure. After a back-to back 2-day session her edema went down 1 inch. Since this is the beginning of our journey together, I have no idea how successful her homeopathic journey will be, but her latest scans show the diagnosed parasites that started it all are dead. Her body is fighting and should win with proper nutrition and consistent care.

Both of these women have been strong and have fought hard for what they believe in. Though they have completely different habits, they both want to go against most modern treatments. Has modern medicine failed them? That will be a long debate. Is it our job as loved ones to cheer them on and help them in their road as best as we ethically can? Well duh! In the end, I would rather look at the information I have collected and say "I did everything I could," than look at it and see the holes that I could have filled and the support I could have given. Never waste the precious moments you have with loved ones. Always try to support them, and make sure they know that they are the world's gift to you.

I have posted a great example of some of the plentiful information that has contributed to holistic treatment plans for cancer patients of today. The information is not original to me since I grabbed it off of Twitter. I leave the pursuit of truth and success to those who want to find it. It describes options, though, for each cancer patients to explore and validate.
