Alternative cancer medicines are those that may be used as an alternative to orthodox cancer treatment. These are written about in detail in Chapter 5 (The alternative frontier: getting the best alternative treatment), and fall into the areas of:

• anti-cancer nutrients that are taken by mouth to help combat cancer directly or to stimulate the body’s immune and tissue-healing systems

• herbal medicines that are believed to have direct anti-cancer properties or indirectly inhibit cancer growth

• intravenous metabolic cancer therapies that provide high-dose nutrients or herbal extracts for the body designed to exert a cytotoxic (cancer cell-killing) anti-cancer effect

• immunotherapy aimed at repairing or boosting immune function to get the body fighting cancer naturally

• neuroendocrine therapies aimed at rebalancing the body’s hormones and neurotransmitters to inhibit cancer growth

• physical therapies in which heat, light or oxygen is used to treat cancer

• nutritional therapies where strict diets are used to combat cancer

• mind – body medicine, where mind – body approaches are used to restore immune function and direct tissue-healing.
