Cure for cancer

[Beetle]

Recently some people told me their view of how cancer should be treated. They are in healthy way of life and healthy food and similar stuff. Their method is fasting (nothing but water I believe) for about 40 days. Their logic is that when fasting body decompose it`s cells. It starts from fat tissues and old and damaged cells. So if you famine it enough your body will eventualy eat cancer away because it sees it as a bad, damaged tissue.

I personaly think that it would not work because the cancer cells have autonomy and that body could not be able to decompose it. What are yours opinions???

I agree. If the body could eat the cancer cells, it would do so in a natural way... But how did those people survive for 40 years on water?

Haha, 40 years

Well, the two of them with whom I`ve talked did not try it but it is treatment that is generally aproved among people who think like them. I`m really not sure if human can survive without food for 40 days (not years although I heard about some gurus that suposly didn`t eat for months or years ) Their explanation envolves energy of our souls and our astral bodies and that stuff.

Cancers are modern disseases... ..so it wouldn't be that easy...(only fasting with water...even for 40 YEARS??..haha...).
My conclusion is...we have to cure modern disseases with the modern medical treatment also... (if you want fast result..)
The best thing is eliminate cancers by using radioactive sniper which is 60-Co. Not fasting and starve to death..
But, not all cancers are making us feeling loss....have you ever heard about "Biotech: Hybridoma"

It seems some people are turning towards TMC (traditional chinese medicine) for help?
Only remembered trying to synthesise SAHA last year in the aiding of curing cancer =D

Yup...back to natural is not bad though..

The problem is that cancer can spread if left long enough. If you fast long enough to destroy the cancer cells, there also stands an excellent chance that the cancer will spread to cells that cannot be destroyed because they are vital. Often, cancer spreads to the liver, which will not be broken down through famine.

Sounds wierd... I doubt it would work...

[victor]

Yup...too long and death waits for you..

..is one's view of life, attitude and a will to survive.
My grandma has had a very bad cancer (spread all over her body) for a long time now, and the doctors don't treat her anymore via radiation etc. because they apparently consider it futile, yet my grandma's attitude, I think, has done her much good.

Cancer is not manifesting itself in a person's body just because of some exterior causes but thinking and attitude etc. play a part in it, too.

Since cancer proliferates at such a high speed, would it be considered as "old" by the body?
