Leukemia is a form of cancer that begins in the cells of the blood and bone marrow. This type of cancer involves an abnormal production of white blood cells, which can impair normal functioning of the immune system. It is important to note that this type of cancer does not follow a set path with each case being unique; however, prompt diagnosis and early treatment are key to managing Leukemia effectively.Experts from EuroMed Foundation are here to share some tips on how to treat leukemia combining the best of conventional and complementary methods.

Main Types of Leukemia
- Leukemia is a type of cancer that affects the white blood cells, and there are four main types:
- Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) rapidly produces malignant cells which crowd out healthy cells in the bone marrow.
- Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL) involves over-production of malignant immature lymphocytes.
- Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) slowly develops over time, with too many myeloid cells being produced in the bone marrow.
- Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) is an accumulation of abnormal B-cells that generally has a longer life expectancy than the other three types.
What causes Leukemia?
Smoking, exposure to certain chemicals (benzene), ionizing radiation, a history of radiation and chemotherapy, are some of the risk factors for acquiring leukemia. Medical scientists have also found specific changes in DNA that can cause cells in the bone marrow to become cancerous. Just for a quick insight into how this works, one has to understand that the way how our cells behave is dictated by DNA information within them. The DNA makes up our genes which essentially gives instructions to our cells. Of all the genes, there are two particularly important ones when it comes to the topic of cancer:
- Oncogenes – Genes that help our cells grow, divide and survive
- Tumor Suppressor Genes – Genes that stop the cell division and initiate their death at the right time Consequentially, the terrain opens up for cancerous developments, once particular DNA mutations that turn off tumor suppressor genes but initiate an increased activity of oncogenes. When it comes to the cause of Leukemia, scientists have figured that a mutation known as chromosome translocation can directly lead to the development of the disease. This happens when one of the 23 chromosomes packed within our DNA breaks off, thus affecting both Oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. Unfortunately, this mutation is often observed in children, particularly in those with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL).
First Steps in an Alternative Leukemia Treatment
Although there is no certain formula for leukemia prevention, there are numerous preventive measures that could help facilitate a leukemia-unfriendly (or any other type of cancer for that matter) terrain in your body. The most rudimentary steps to take are, of course, those affecting your diet. Simple changes such as switching to a diet that’s rich in fruit and vegetables (at least 10 per day), putting emphasis on whole grain foods, and protein-rich products are just some of the dietary solutions that can have a prophylactic effect on one’s health. Healthy foods as well a schedule that provides small meals with 2-hour intervals in between will make your food consumption pattern suit the anti-cancer agenda. Dietary beet intake is also seeing increasing popularity, as this miracle vegetable possess numerous anti-inflammatory, antioxidant properties, and is known to impede cancer cell growth. One should also drop habits such as smoking or excessive alcohol consumption.
Alternative Leukemia Treatment Options
There are some natural remedies to mention here. Of all the clinically tested natural substances, the ones that showed a positive impact on leukemia treatment, when used together with conventional therapies were flavonoids found in vegetables, billberry and curcumin (found in turmeric). Fucoidan has a positive impact on leukemia cell suppression while parthenolide, a compound found in feverfew, is known to have a positive effect on chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). Remedies such as Lycium berry, rosemary, berberine (found in Coptis Chinensis), indole-3-carbinol (found in Brussel sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower) and Diindolylmethane are also known to positively affect the course of leukemia treatment. Meanwhile, an increased intake of Vitamin C and E, as well as beta-carotene (red-orange pigment found in vegetables and foods) are known to significantly reduce the risk of infections and alleviate side effects during the traditional treatment course. When it comes to the homeopathic treatment of Leukemia, the choice of the right remedy should once again be based on the individual case, as it’s used to not only treat the pathological condition but the person as a whole. The type of leukemia, the specific complaints of the patient, general symptoms as well as other constitutional indications, should all be considered when resorting to homeopathic treatment of leukemia. With that said, the homeopathic remedies listed below should be taken with professional guidance. Some of the homeopathic remedies for leukemia treatment are:
- Arsenicum Iodatum
- Acetic Acid
- Baryta Muriatica
- Baryta Iodata
- Calcarea Phosphorica
- Carboneum Sulphuratum
- Chininum Sulphuricum
- Ferrum Picricum
- Kali Phosphoricum
- Natrum Muriaticum
- Picricum Acidum
- Sulphur
These do not represent the whole range of homeopathic remedies available for leukemia. Although homeopathic remedies are not as successful when treating the disease in its advanced stages, they can significantly boost patient’s well-being and improve the general quality of life.
Alternative Treatment for Leukemia at Euromed Foundation
The general agenda at our alternative cancer treatment center EuroMed Foundation is that each case requires a special, customized approach. With that in mind, we develop a special plan for each patient’s needs, aiming to achieve the optimal results by combining eastern and western medicine. Insulin Potentiated Therapy (IPT) is particularly effective. Therapeutic dosages of antioxidants such as glutathione, vitamin C, and Alpha-lipoic acid are frequently practiced in order to scavenge the free radicals and boost the natural detoxification process. The so-called “Myers Cocktail” is used as an effective side remedy when dealing with consequences of chemotherapy. This nutrient-rich blend is made to provide the patient’s body with all the deficient vitamins and minerals to eliminate the root cause of chronic conditions such as leukemia. The intravenous delivery provides that the dosage of nutrients reaches the individual’s cells directly. Meanwhile, homeopathic detox, which involves a special compound mix prepared by the experts at EuroMed Foundation, aims to sweep patient’s body of dead white blood cells and chemical by-products, produced from reactions with traditional medicines. Seeking and destroying cancer cells by robbing them of their ability to maintain life and reproduce, removing cancer cells debris and reducing the side effects of chemotherapy, it’s a multi-purpose blend that has proved its efficiency over and over again.

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.
