Effects of Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy doesn’t exclusively target cancer cells it also targets and harms your good cells, destroying some of your body in the process. All of your fast growing cells will be affected these of course include hair follicles. As a result, many chemotherapy patients lose their hair, develop immune deficiencies, lose weight and vomit. Chemotherapy poisons your body as a whole in an attempt to kill the cancer cells before the “treatment” brings your body to an unrecoverable state.
If even just a few cells escape this onslaught the chemotherapy may become useless and cancer can re-establish itself or metastasize elsewhere. Metastasized cancer is very hard if not impossible to eradicate then with the conventional treatments.

As Gary Null and James Feast write, “(After chemotherapy,) the hope is the cancer is going to be totally dead and you are only half dead and recover.” Unfortunately, some people are more than “half dead” after chemotherapy and remain damaged for the rest of their lives, no matter how long or how short that life may be. They never realize that according to many alternative health practitioners, there are safer ways of combating many types of cancer.

In response to chemotherapy’s many side effects, Dr. Atkins says in Burton Goldberg’s Alternative Medicine, “Only in situations in which chemotherapy is proven to be effective and curative would I recommend it. In general, this might be testicular cancer.”
