Strange Cures And Treatments For Cancer

Cancer refers to an array of different conditions involving the abnormal growth and division of cells in the body. Cancerous cells can grow or divide out of control, meaning not the way they should, and they may also not die when they should. Abnormal cells can form tumors, and many tumors can be cancerous. Cancers are typically named for where they originate in the affected individual's body, such as colon cancer, though some forms have fancier names attached to them, such as leukemia. Cancer is a devastating condition and is responsible for countless deaths annually. Many patients and their families, not to mention doctors and researchers, are on the hunt for treatments, therapies, and even a potential cure for cancer.

With this in mind, take a look at some alternative and often bizarre ways some individuals will go about treating cancer. It is important to note, however, these strange 'cures' still require scientific research.

Baking soda, it appears, helps neutralize the acid metabolic environment in which the tumor grows, favoring the growth inhibition of tumor cells. Unfortunately, the risk of alkalosis (blood alkalinity that prevents the normal development of body functions) is a possible complication of this treatment. Thus, it is crucial for every cancer patient to consult their doctor to determine what is appropriate for them.
