Is herbal medicine helping cancer patients 100 % any stage and how much is it. Why alternative?

Alternative medicine is ‘medicine’ that has not been tested in double blind clinical trials and proven to be effective, as orthodox medicine has been. If it had been properly tested and proved to work it would no longer be alternative medicine, it would just be medicine.

No, herbal medicine is emphatically not helping cancer patients 100%. Unfortunately wherever there is cancer there is someone trying to make money out of others’ misery by pushing ineffective and unproven (and occasionally dangerous) treatments. Be very wary of anecdotal evidence of miraculous alternative ‘cures’. Remember that you have no way of knowing if the person ever even had cancer, or that they are ‘cured’ if they did. It is worthwhile checking these links if you are thinking of using any alternative ‘remedies’ for cancer:

Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are very far from perfect, but we know they save some lives and extend many, many others. I prefer my cancer treatments tried, tested and proven.

There are 100′s of herbal medicines out there.

There are 100′s of different cancers out there also.

There may be some herbal medicines that are helpful with some cancers, there is certainly anecdotal evidence of this.

Personally, I preferred to go with with a treatment based on scientific study and statistical analysis. Your body, your choice.
