Comments on: Can Cancer Go Away Without Treatment? http://drcate.com/can-cancer-go-away-without-treatment/ Good Health, It's Only Natural Mon, 21 May 2012 17:45:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Catey http://drcate.com/can-cancer-go-away-without-treatment/comment-page-1/#comment-573 Catey Thu, 31 Dec 2009 20:44:30 +0000 http://drcate.com/?p=768#comment-573 I have had several patients with cancer who declined treatment. Two with lung cancer, one with salivary gland cancer, and one who had metastatic cancer to the spine from an unknown source. The man with salivary gland cancer also had renal cancer and both of these cancers did very little to him for fifteen years. He is now 86 and progressively weak and dying and is not having any pain so its hard to say if it's from the cancer. The man with metastatic cancer to the spine died quickly and had a lot of pain in his back. One man with lung cancer died in 3 years, the other lived with it for more than 10 and then moved away so I don't know what happened. In the days before chemo and radiation there was also no way to know anyone had cancer in its early stage, so we don't know very much about the natural course of cancer. There's no research funding if there's no product to sell, so I don't think there will be much progress in this area any time soon. I can say that I have never seen anyone who follows a <a href="http://drcate.com/deep-nutrition-the-ancient-science-of-human-engineering/the-four-pillars-of-world-cuisine/" rel="nofollow">traditional diet</a> develop cancer.

Is there a general wasting away? Are there different bodily responses to different types of cancer (I know there are, but what are the symptoms)? Why isn't anyone studying this? Is it because people who get cancer want treatment? Are any of us willing to just take the disease to its natural progression? All those years that went by in history when there was no chemo or radiation---who studied and wrote about it during those times? Am I strange for wanting to know this? Might knowing this help the scientists and researchers find more types of cures and get them to focus more on prevention? So many questions, I know. But there are also so many questions about treatment, health care costs, protocols, medications, natural cures, and even the mind-body connection.

I suppose most of us are just programmed to think that to have any chance of surviving cancer we must undergo rigorous and debilitating treatments. I agree that we can all help ourselves by maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle, but I do feel that many people are not aware that fruit and vegetables in particular start to lose their nutritional content as soon as they are picked. So we need to promote FRESH healthy options. Does anyone else agree? Very interesting topic!
