Alternative Brain Cancer Treatments







Traditional brain cancer treatments can be difficult to deal with and often don't work leaving patients desperate for a cure. Many turn to alternative methods of treatment. Some proponents believe that these alternatives should be tried even before the traditional methods of cancer treatments.


Reduce Swelling and Inflammation


According to Independent Cancer Research Foundation, supplements can be used to reduce brain inflammation and swelling. None of the following treatments will interfere with cancer treatments. These particular supplements are meant to reduce brain swelling and brain inflammation. Try 10 grams of MSM a day to start with. Next, take a dose of Oxygen Elements Plus, which is another supplement that can be beneficial to brain cancer patients. Finally, Vitalzym and barley powder are excellent supplements for swelling and inflammation of the brain. All supplements should be taken according to manufacturer instructions and can be purchased from a trusted health food store.


Vitamin C


According to Independent Cancer Research Foundation, vitamin C can also be effective in treating and fighting all types of cancers, not just brain cancer. Vitamin C is similar to glucose and should be consumed as one would consume glucose, or according to manufacture instructions. Two-time Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Ewan Cameron, M.D., managed to extend the lives of several cancer patients by giving the patients 10 grams of vitamin C a day through an IV.








There are three things the patient can do to help the vitamin C get inside the cancer cells. It's important to remember that cancer cells consume 15 times more glucose than normal cells and those cells cannot tell the difference between glucose and vitamin C. The use of potassium ascorbate can also help with the absorption of vitamin C. Vitamin C is salt derived and serves to facilitate the absorption of potassium in the body. Finally, DMSO can also help with cancer and the use of vitamin C. DMSO can help rebuild the bones. It also targets cancer cells specifically.


Ultraviolet Light Therapy


The Independent Cancer Research Foundation also recommends the use of ultraviolet light therapy for cancer patients. They are currently researching the treatment, because it is fairly inexpensive and can also be applied to several different medical conditions. The treatment is proven to be both effective and safe. It also kills massive amounts of microbes very quickly, which may mean that the treatment can create a significant amount of discomfort for the patient, so beware. This treatment is only recommended for localized cancers and tumors. It is not recommended for cancer that has metastasized. It is also not recommended for children under the age of eight.
