Some solutions might be as close as your kitchen.

Consider Turmeric

Currently, US law forbids the medicinal use of natural substances, but turmeric has been used for medicinal purposes for thousands of years. In fact, the main compound in turmeric, called curcumin, is perhaps one of the most extensively studied compounds ever. With more than 4,500 references to studies done on curcumin in the National Library of Medicines database, there is no doubt that this substance has been well documented. What has it shown? Curcumin has been shown to be effective in more than 500 diseases in studies involving animals. It has yet to be tested in human clinical trials, but it holds great promise as being able to prevent or cure many different types of cancer. Why doesn’t the cancer industry apply some of that research money to turmeric? Because there is no money in it. If it should be discovered that turmeric can prevent or stop many cancers, they would lose billions of dollars in sales of their chemotherapy drugs.

Look into all your options before you consider undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatment. Knowledge is your best defense.
