Cancer control is largely based on cutting out tumors, radiation and chemotherapy. None of these 3 methods will definitely remove all cancer cells from the body. If we simultaneously strengthen the immune system, biological cancer control can make a significant contribution to the healing process.
Differences between medical therapy and biological cancer control
Regular cancer control is often accused of only focusing on treating symptoms. From a biological point of view, cutting out a tumor, irradiating or destroying presumed cancerous tissue through chemotherapy is the treatment of symptoms par excellence. Hormone treatment also only results in a reduction in tumor size, not disappearance.
These conventional treatment methods mainly attempt to mechanically remove as many cancer cells as possible from the body. If, despite all the billions that have been spent on cancer research over the past 50 years or so, no substantial improvement can be observed, then we may conclude that continued research in this direction alone is not the solution and that research into additional therapies is justified. . It is precisely at this point that biological cancer control claims it can make an important contribution.
The tumor is not the cancer disease, but only its consequence.
Millions of times a day, errors in the hereditary material will arise everywhere in our bodies, and a certain part of them are potential cancer cells. The body is naturally armed against these abnormalities, and it is able to repair the damage or, if repair is futile, to kill the abnormal and threatening cell and make it disappear. Cancer is biologically defined as a disease in which the body’s repair mechanism and immune system are affected in such a way that cancer cells have the opportunity to break through the protective barrier. What the cancer cell does next is only a consequence of this, and therefore not of direct importance.
Reduction of cancer cells primary
Although it is interesting to further investigate the behavior and characteristics of these cancer cells, this is no longer of exceptional importance. Real cancer research tries to determine the causes of cancer and tailor therapy accordingly. Biological cancer control aims to conduct this type of research and to have laid a healthy foundation for a treatment that addresses cancer at its root cause.
Of course, biological cancer control cannot be separated from medical therapy. Any biological treatment of a tumor with a size of approximately 1 cm. must end in failure. Here the surgeon will always have to reduce the number of cancer cells as far as possible. Radiation therapy can also be useful, as can hormone treatment, because any reduction in the number of cancer cells is welcome. Chemotherapy, on the other hand, is more difficult to fit into a biological concept.
Strengthening the immune system as a complementary therapy
Biological cancer control should never be regarded as another therapy that should replace medical therapy. What is only required is a different way of thinking and a willingness to include biological cancer control as an additional treatment in the medical tumor control program.
If a tumor has already developed, you can remove as much malignant tissue as possible with surgery. One can imagine that during such procedures, cancer cells from the tumor can sometimes be transported through the blood vessels to all parts of the body. These cancer cells can only be effectively combated if the patient has a good immune system. It is therefore important to ensure that this immune system is put in the best possible condition. If this is successful, the patient has the best chance of neutralizing stray cancer cells.
First strengthening the immune system before surgical intervention is of course preferable in biological cancer control. But a patient who undergoes the biological treatment as an additional therapy may also increase his chances of surviving the cancer disease.
Immune system central to biological cancer control
The immune system does not always function optimally for everyone. There are times and situations when the reaction speed of the immune system is slowed down. Think of old age or situations of persistent and unhealthy stress. At such times, a cancer cell has the opportunity to break through the immune system. The cancer cell can multiply, but if the immune system is repaired in time, the cancer cells formed will still be cleared.
If the recovery phase lasts too long and the number of cancer cells reaches a critical limit, the cancer process passes the potential phase. At that moment, the new formation of cancer cells becomes greater than the capacity of a healthy immune system can handle. There is therefore a permanent threatening situation for our body. Time and again, due to the countless mutations, cells are created that can potentially develop into cancer cells. The formation of these cells is constantly guided and controlled by a beautifully functioning immune system. It is thanks to this control that cancer cells in a healthy body have no chance of developing into tumors.
Real and objective approach to cancer disease
But especially on the Internet, one often encounters people who want to take advantage of the misery and gullibility of others. It is easy to influence someone who is seriously ill. A book that has personally fascinated and appealed to me in recent times was a treatise by a Nijmegen biologist on Biological Cancer Control. I was very impressed by his clear writing style (also for the layman) and the real and objective approach to the disease cancer. In any case, it didn’t raise any false expectations for me. See this article primarily as a brief review of the book in question.
