Treatments and Strategies to help you recover from cancer.
In Ireland, one person dies from cancer every hour. Contrary to what we are told, numerous studies show that conventional treatments do not extend survival for most cancer patients. All too often, they result in seemingly full recoveries followed by relapse.
You may be shocked to learn that there are many additional treatments and strategies that you can use to help with your recovery. Many of these are scientifically proven, while some were found in research to be commonly used by patients who completely recovered from cancer. You won’t be advised about most of these treatments and strategies by your oncologist or cancer charity, but they are all included here on this site.
While this is intented as information only and not medical advice, it is my hope that it will significantly increase your chances of completely recovering from cancer as quickly and painlessly as possible.
I wish you well on your journey.
