Radiotherapy is the treatment of cancer through the use of high-energy radiation. Radiation kills normal cells in the process of killing cancer cells, and there are risks of anemia, nausea, hair loss, vomiting, skin burn, diarrhea, sterility, fatigue, and death.  The approach I suggest is more gentle. Alternative Medicine offers natural herbal remedies including graviola, ellagic acid, and essiac, and electromedicine therapies invented by Lakhovsky, Beck, and Rife.

Radiotherapy is used to shrink localized tumors, not cancers that have spread to other parts of the body. Radiation kills both cancer cells and normal cells, however normal cells are better able to repair damage than cancer cells.  Radiation treatments are spread out over a period of weeks to give normal cells a chance to recover.

Radiation is often used along with other therapies such as surgery or chemotherapy, especially when surgery is unable to remove tissue without causing harm to adjacent organs.

Radiation can be delivered to localized areas by using radioactive implants. Or, a beam external to the body can be used, but this can damage tissue on its way to the tumor.

Different types of radiation are used, including gamma rays and high energy xrays, protons, and neutrons.

Doctors do not know that cancer is caused when symbiotic organisms become parasitic from an overly acid diet. They promote early detection because they don't know how to prevent it, but damage may be done before it is detected. Avoid cancer by eating an alkaline diet; it really is that simple. Worry about getting cancer will disappear when you learn what causes it and how to prevent it. But if you have cancer, surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation should be a last resort because of the damage they cause; check out alternative cures first by viewing the links below.
