if radiation causes cancer than how can they use radiation to treat cancer?
i am getting radiation treatments and wanted to know how it is cause they say that radiation causes cancer so how is it treated with radiation
To find out more about cancer and various treatments go to the site below, it may save your life!
Cancer cells are fast growing cells. Fast growing cells are the most affected by radiation, not the normal tissue surrounding it. Also, the care given during the initial meeting where they did all the measuring? that is to make sure that only the cancerous areas are getting the radiation.
They’re two different types of radiation.
Nuclear, which causes cancer.
And depending on what type of cancer thy’re trying to treat it’s different.
Some cancers respond to radiation but some like mine do not.
Depending on where it is, you might get relief from Graviola, look for it on the internet. Mine responds with the easing of the pain of Pancreatitis.
Sometimes I even get comfortable. Yes, it’s terminal.
The radiation is targeted to area of cells to be killed and yes is risk of getting cancer from radiation used to kill cancer, but better technology to control the area zapped.
The basic idea with radiation treatment and chemotherapy too is to kill the cancer cells before the treatment hurts you. radiation is physically targetted at the cancer cells, chemo is chemically targeted (the cancer cells have a faster metabolism, so they poison themselves and die while you just get a bit sick). Radiation also comes in many "flavours", and what they hit the cancer cells with (though it is not ‘nice’) is not like residual radiation from a bomb or something.
Remember, sunlight is radiation too!
Good luck with the treatments, I know it sucks, but you’ll be better soon.
Radiation works by damaging the DNA of the cancerous and healthy cells. When these cells undergo mitosis (replicate), the damaged DNA prevents this from being successful and the cell dies. The reason why we use radiation to treat cancer is because the normal cells have the ability to repair the damage done by radiation whereas as cancer cells do not.
Low doses of low level radiation over a long period of time is more likely to cause cancer than receiving high doses of radiation over a short period of time (for example – the after effects of Chernobyl). Also, the high dose of radiation is given to a small area and not the entire body.
The benefits of radiation therapy far outweigh the risks of developing a secondary cancer (which may or may not occur).
beats the hell out of me, all i know is you need to increase your antioxidants and pytochemcails
Propax with NT factor will reduce chemo fagtuie and give you energy,
Poly-MVA is the most powerfulest supplement for anticancer treatment reversing and curing terminally ill stage 4 cancer pateints (28% chance which can increase with more antioxidants added and healthier food intakes) causes spontaous cancer cell death takes the cancers energy and makes your body use it for fuel.
i’d also take like high grade grape seed extract
CoQ10
seek out a specist in deitary supplementation and antioxidants as it realtes to cancer
eat very very very healthy (100% organics, reverse omosis water or distilled)
Radiation and chemo are as barbaric as blood letting. as of
today 54 forms of cancer have been reversed using nutrition.
