Alternative Breast Cancer Treatment - 7 Tips for Making Informed Decisions

When my partner was diagnosed with HER2 breast cancer she was told she needed a masectomy, with radical chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

 She chose, not lightly, to look for an alternative breast cancer treatment.

 We didn't leave many stones unturned in search for a breast cancer cure and I wish that someone had given me these tips because it would have saved my partner stress, anxiety and physical suffering and tens of thousands of dollars.

1. Watch the rush to get it done now. Ask your surgeon how long they think you could delay any proposed surgery.
2.  My partner's first impulse was to have an operation immediately.
3.  A 2 cm tumor can take 20 years to develop so her surgeon said that a delay of 6 weeks would not affect the outcome. My partner used that period to contact practitioners who advised her on other therapies and this helped change her mind about surgery.
4. See if you can talk to people who have had cancer and used natural methods to heal themselves. This includes alternative medicine practitioners. The first woman my partner saw was a former nurse who cured herself from breast cancer and hearing first hand that it was possible, was as important to my partner as the treatment she offered.
5. A good naturopath may cure you - but they might just kill you as well. My partner had a naturopath who had a history of success with cancer. For several months the tumor was kept in check and his system said that my partner was in excellent overall health. The tumor then exploded into growth suddenly - and HER2 cancer cells can growth very fast. At this stage he was out of his depth and could only recommend surgery.
6. The same applies to acupuncture. My partner had a very good acupuncturist who worked with cancer patients. He constantly monitored the tumor and his treatment probably helped to keep it in check for a year - but ultimately acupuncture was ineffective.
7. What works for some people may not work for you. Another alternative breast cancer treatment we tried was intravenous sodium bicarbonate - pioneered by Italian oncologist Dr Simoncini. We had to import our 7.5% solution of sodium bicarbonate from Israel (it is also available from Thailand) when USA supplier Baxters made it unavailable - except to hospitals - in Australia and New Zealand. While some people report success, it had no effect on my partner's tumor - and when her doctor spoke to Dr Simoncini he said that she would have to have surgery following the treatment anyway.
8. Keep searching - there are alternative treatments that are highly effective.Dr Robert Wickman, based in Ecuador, possibly saved my partner's life. He certainly saved the life of one woman who was terminal with bowel and liver cancer, cured another of bowel cancer (and avoided colostomy) and a man of prostate cancer in the 5-6 weeks treatment time my partner was there (all these confirmed by independent oncologists). He uses a range of treatments including Rife technology, and alkalizing the blood and detoxing the body. My partner had no cancer according to his system but her blood tests still had cancer markers. He expected her tumor to soften and breakdown - but it didn't.
9. Never give up but keep exploring whether you have subconscious beliefs that are working against your healing. Working with kinesiology, we found that my partner had a subconscious belief that she didn't deserve to be healed. We defused this belief and she affirmed that she deserved to be healed. It was only then that my partner - who was at a point of desperation and despair - came across Dr Chen in Auckland New Zealand. Her breast tumor was by now massive, occupying a large part of her breast, and was haemorrhaging every 4 to 7 days, taking her iron levels so perilously low that she had booked herself in for a blood transfusion. Instead she started Dr Chen's treatment - although he thought the tumor was too big to be treated successfully. Within 10 days the bleeding stopped completely. The unique herb and oil combination that Dr Chen uses decimated the tumor, reducing it by 70% within ten weeks and the progress continues.
   Chen and a colleague developed this treatment by using modern technology to process traditional Chinese anti cancer herbs and oils in a new way - and they tested it for 20 years in China.
   My partner was only the third Westerner he had treated with his cancer herbal treatment - and we wish that we had discovered him two years ago we she first found out - it would have saved us a small fortune and with the tumor the size it was then - the treatment would have been completed in 8 to 12 weeks and our lives would have been not dominated by the specter of cancer.

When my partner started treatment with Dr Chen I wondered why it took over 2 years to find him - his practice was only 500 meters from the hospital where my partner was told she needed mastectomy. He had no English website to speak of, English is definitely his second language, so I built him one - drchenscureforcancer [http://www.drchenscureforcancer.com].
