Alternative Treatments for Lung Cancer

About 236,740 new cases of lung cancer appear in the United States every year. Only a small number of these people have sufficient knowledge about alternative lung cancer treatments. Chemotherapy and toxic medications are not the only way to fight lung cancer. Many are toxic and create havoc on the immune system, making it more susceptible to cancer. There are many alternative treatments for lung cancer that allow patients to avoid the unfortunate consequences of conventional chemotherapy. While cancer is one of the deadliest diseases in the world, the general approach to its treatment is simple. The immune system needs to gain sufficient resources to fight the problem. A weakened system stops functioning properly and doesn’t have an opportunity to heal the body. Alternative lung cancer treatments include many individualized therapies and IV’s designed specifically for each patient. Each lung cancer is different. Every patient needs a special approach. Effective holistic lung cancer treatment entails finding the right mix of many treatments.

In addition to other homeopathic remedies used, the alternative cancer treatment center EuroMed Foundation prepares natural and alternative therapies for lung cancer that help destroy the malignant cells. While many people consider homeopathy a natural treatment, it shouldn’t be taken lightly. Homeopathic medications are specifically designed to suit people with different traits.

How to Reduce Lung Nodules with Alternative Lung Cancer Treatments

Techniques for shrinking lung nodules naturally include physical exercises, massage, and acupuncture. Physical exercises, such as yoga, don’t just boost the immune system and build muscle mass, they also reduce stress and anxiety. Stress relief is important for lung cancer patients. Stress further compromises a patient’s body instead of allowing it to heal. The workout routine should also be discussed with a doctor. Not all exercises are suitable for people with different stages of lung cancer. The therapy allows a patient to have more control over the disease and the treatment process.

Lung Support Herbs

Research has shown that certain plants contain powerful compounds that work similarly to chemotherapy in patients with lung cancer. Herbal traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) harnesses the properties of herbs that are good for the lungs to improve respiratory and immune function. Studies conducted since 2020 used combinations of the best Chinese medicines for lung function and found a reduction in symptoms and tissue damage. Chinese herbs remedies have been used for centuries, and our team uses Chinese lung support herbs for our patients who prefer an alternative treatment for lung cancer.

Herbs Most Commonly Used for Lung Cancer Treatment

While there are several lung support herbs that we recommend for your treatment plan, American ginseng, Asian ginseng, grape seed, green tea, and quercetin are the most common that are used by our herbalists. American and Asian ginsengs contain ginsenosides that produce medicinal benefits. The key difference is that American and Asian ginseng contain distinct types of ginsenosides in different amounts. Ginsenosides work in your body as antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds. They also help combat tumors, prevent cell death, boost immune function, and enhance cognitive function and well-being. Research has shown that American ginseng slows tumor growth, and Asian ginseng works to prevent cancerous cells in the body. Asian ginseng is also beneficial for reducing stress, controlling cholesterol levels, increasing energy levels, and improving a sense of well-being. You can find ginseng supplements easily, but make sure that the product contains the right type of ginseng. There are several variations, and not all of them provide the anti-cancer benefits of American and Asian ginseng. Grape seed boosts antioxidant levels in your body to eliminate free radicals that are known to cause premature cell death. For lung cancer treatment, grape seed extract provides antioxidant benefits and protects the liver during chemotherapy. The grape seed extract is available as a supplement in liquid, tablet, and capsule form. For the best results, use supplements that are labeled as containing no less than 95% of oligomeric proanthocyanidin complexes. Green tea contains the highest levels of antioxidants compared to other types of tea. It is often used to increase energy levels, remove excess fluid from the body, enhance heart health, and boost the body’s healing response. For lung cancer patients, research has shown that green tea may help prevent cancer cells from forming and developing into tumors. Quercetin is a compound that is found in plants, and it helps to give vegetables and fruits their colors thanks to flavonoid compounds. Flavonoids are known to be powerful antioxidants that eliminate free radicals in the body, and they may even reverse some of the damage that is caused by free radicals. The compounds also help reduce inflammation. Fruits and vegetables are an important part of a healthy diet to beat lung cancer naturally. Some research has revealed that flavonoids are more effective than resveratrol for slowing the growth of lung tumors. You can increase your quercetin intake by eating foods that are rich in flavonoids. Some herbs, such as sage and parsley, contain high levels of quercetin, as well as red wine and tea. We can also recommend oral supplements that contain quercetin.

FAQ

Common Questions

What is alternative or integrative cancer treatment?

At EuroMed Foundation, alternative or integrative cancer treatment is an overarching term we use to describe the many complementary therapies we employ to kill cancer cells and support your body’s ability to heal itself. Licensed integrative cancer medicine specialists oversee all of our treatments, which have been shown to benefit overall health and well-being while treating the malignancy.

What are my treatment options?

Our treatments target cancer cells with low-dose chemotherapy while strengthening your health and immune system. We offer the George Protocol, which involves a homeopathic immune modulator, and numerous other complementary therapies as part of a customized treatment plan that targets your precise condition. We believe combining many positive treatments creates the best results.

Is alternative or integrative cancer treatment safe?

Our alternative or integrative cancer therapies are much safer than traditional treatments such as full-dose chemotherapy and radiation because the body is exposed to much less toxicity. Licensed physicians who hold themselves to the highest medical and ethical standards perform all treatments. They are committed to improving the well-being and the life of every patient who visits EuroMed Foundation.

Is alternative or integrative treatment as effective as traditional treatment?

Many of our patients turn to us after months or years of unsuccessfully fighting cancer using traditional treatments. For many patients, alternative or integrative therapies provide effective treatments to fight off their disease.

Is alternative cancer treatment covered by insurance?

Whether your treatment is covered by your insurance provider depends on your selected therapy and your coverage plan. Our staff can help you navigate the sometimes complicated intricacies of your plan to determine whether you might qualify for coverage.

Are there alternative therapies I can follow at home?

Yes. We help patients make lifestyle changes, including nutrition and exercise, that boost the immune system. We also introduce ways to help patients relieve their minds. Many side effects of cancer – such as fatigue, nausea, sleep problems, stress, and pain – can be alleviated through changes in diet, nutritional supplements, basic relaxation techniques, or a combination of these. The EuroMed Foundation team considers our patients as family and we give them specific strategies to improve their health and overcome cancer.

Am I a Good Candidate for Alternative Cancer Treatment?

Most patients who contact us will respond well to our therapies. That includes many who have already undergone conventional chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and/or surgery. Those treatments typically suppress the function of your immune system, which needs to be strengthened and retrained for effective long-term success of alternative treatments.

In certain cases a patient’s cancer is too advanced or doesn’t respond to our therapy. In those situations we usually refer that patient to another cancer center for treatment that is better suited to them. Our doctors will evaluate your condition and find a treatment path that is customized for you.
