Chemo: More Harmful than Cancer?

Everyone wants to look and feel their best.

Recently, I was included in a powerful conversation on Linkedin about traditional vs. alternative cancer treatments. (Yes, people have powerful conversations on Linkedin…who knew?) Anyway, in the emotional discussion—which ended up garnering 41 comments to date—people shared diverse opinions on the treatment of cancer and what they felt was the most effective approach.

People spoke of their person experiences, brought up clinical research, mentioned a variety of new approaches and explained what chemotherapy actually does to the body. Many people agreed the most effective approach was to utilize methods that build the immune system as opposed to killing off cells with chemo. One person in the thread brought up an interesting study that showed that  after chemo tumor cells can re-seed and spread throughout the body.

Also, the discussion started a debate on the percentage of people actually killed by chemotherapy as opposed to the cancer that it is meant to treat. Definitely interesting and educational stuff! Read the entire conversation here (you will have to be a Linkedin member) and share your thoughts!
