Important Resource for Cancer Patients Considering Alternatives

[MineralMan]

If you're a cancer patient or are connected in some way with a cancer patient, you may be considering alternative treatments either instead of or in conjunction with traditional medical treatments. Before beginning an alternative treatment plan, get the facts about it. The American Cancer Society offers a wealth of resources about alternative and complementary cancer treatment at the link below:

http://www.cancer.org/Treatment/TreatmentsandSideEffects/ComplementaryandAlternativeMedicine/index

There are many articles in this guide, and they get into the details of complementary and alterative cancer treatments. The material is presented quite objectively, and the site leaves the decisions up to the individual patient. Where warnings are appropriate they are given. Where evidence exists debunking a treatment, that is given, too. It's a great resource for anyone who is investigating alternatives to traditional medical treatment. Rather than rely solely on the claims of those recommending such treatment methods, it's a good idea to consult a reference site like this one.

1. As an example of the depth of the articles at the

site linked to in the OP, here's a link to their article on Chelation Therapy. From this article, you can get an idea of how the site presents its information. I found this article very informative:
