Are there any alternative treatments to Sarcoma Cancer ( in the lung) than chemo therapy?
A family member of mine has this type of cancer. She has had it before. About 3 months ago she had surgery and now it’s back. This time it’s more aggressive than before. The Doctor says that chemo would only hurt her. Please, I need to know alternative treatments.
Some sarcomas are very resistant to chemotherapy/radiation, so chances are that her doctor is telling her the truth – as awful as it is. And recurrence after only 3 months is bad. There are lots of alternative practitioners who claim they can do just about anything. You have to be very critical when analyzing their claims – even if their testimonials sound very persuasive. Instead of trying out various dubious alternative treatments you might find it more fruitful to help her enjoy the time as best as possible.
If this person wants to try alternative treatments they should see if they qualify for a clinical trial.
Yes, try this link here, it is both a preventive and a treatment, where applicable. Avoid listening to people here who employ fear mongering, as that is not answering your question.

Nutrition is almost universally ignored as a treatment option by physicians. When the physicians admit there is nothing more that they can do with chemo, radiation, and surgery, you are forced to consider perhaps better treatments. Cancer growth can be turned on or off by changes in the diet.
There is substantial research performed by a professor emeritus with over 350 peer reviewed articles. He discovered that rats fed a normal 20 percent casein (milk protein) by calories were more likely to grow liver cancer than animals fed a vegetable protein diet. This was liver cancer and they were all subjected to aflatoxin (a potent carcenogenic substance). He repeated this successfully with mice and then went on to present the underlying biochemical mechanism that allows cancers to grow in animals. Later in his career he directed epistemological studies of diet and related these to cancer in human populations in China. Again, he found that cancers were highly correlated to animal protein consumption.
His conclusion was that an ideal diet to stop cancer was a whole foods plant diet. Dairy and meat tend to feed cancers.
Check out the web site below. This is a distinguished professor who has been ignored by mainstream medicine and mainstream media.
His studies have been NIH funded and peer reviewed. When it comes to nutrition, mainstream institutions have been mislead by heavy funding of studies by the food and drug industries.
