Chemotherapy Drugs - What You Need
To Know
The more cynical among us claim that the reason why thy medical profession appears to be not too anxious to develop a non intrusive cure for cancer is that the drug companies would lose the many billions of dollars profit that they earn from selling the drugs to ostensibly treat this cruel disease. To be fair, the companies involved in the development
of drugs used in chemotherapy treatment have become more increasingly
aware of the feelings that the general public has to this form of treatment
to cancer. Feelings that range in scale from total negativity to outright
fear, has caused them to present a new generation of drugs that will
partially counter the more unpleasant effects of chemotherapy treatment.
The side effects of chemotherapy
are caused when the drugs used in the treatment arrest the growth of
the cancerous cells in the patient's body. Unfortunately, till now,
or so the drug companies are beginning to claim, there was no way to
prevent the killing of healthy cells within the cancer sufferers body.
Known side effects of chemotherapy treatments occur in the rapidly diving cells in the patients' body. Most prominent are the blood cells, causing fatigue, hair cells, causing baldness and the cells that line the gastrointestinal tract causing nausea. Now spokesmen for some of the drug companies are
claiming that they are at the advanced stage of developing drugs for
use in chemotherapy treatments that will be capable of attacking only
the cancerous cells in a patient's body, and leave the healthy cells
intact. This development claim the drug companies will help to cure
the cancer whilst alleviate the suffering.
Once again the cynical among us are saying; "Maybe this is a ploy by the drug companies to buy some more time, and reap some more profits on the suffering of the cancer sufferers." One cannot avoid the fact that more and more cancer
sufferers are shying clear of chemotherapy treatment and investigating
what holistic medicine has to offer as an alternative. As in chemotherapy
treatment there are no guarantees of a total recovery from cancer. However
statistics increasingly show that people who have chosen homeopathic
medicine have recovered from cancer, and have only experienced positive
side effects in the process. To add weight to the argument, a survey
recently completed in Europe that was carried out over a ten year period
showed some very interesting results. The survey showed that people
who were on a daily diet of holistic herbs were diagnosed with cancer
at percentage levels considerably than those who do not know of homeopathic
medicine.
