Hi E,

I thought about your mom when I read this article from Life Extension.
Apparently this is a more common technique they are using in Europe to
fight off skin and lung cancer:

It was good chatting with you last night.

Your friend,

There are quite a few creative ideas for fighting cancer.

I've never been real excited by any therapy that does collateral
damage like this. It's the basic problem with chemotherapy, you need
to balance good vs harm (although this light therapy is more targeted
than chemo). In the right situations such therapies can be very
valuable. Overall I'd prefer to see more emphasis on healthy
therapies that don't cause harm to non-cancer cells.

Thanks John. Today's article from Life Extension seems timely for this discussion.
 

I'm curious if these are some of the "creative ideas" you were talking about. Are there other good approaches for fighting cancer that the article didn't cover?

Those are the fairly normal "mainstream" alternative anti-cancer
approaches. All of those are excellent and should be considered by
anyone dealing with cancer or looking to prevent cancer.

A lot of the "creative ideas" I was referring to could be considered
part of the "natural chemotherapies" point. But by "creative" I was
meaning some of the less known techniques such as some of the "energy
medicine" machines, hyperthermia and such.

What's tough is defining "good approaches". Cancer is very complex
and difficult to deal with (basically because it's your own cells just
gone haywire). So when I look at something to decide if it's a "good
approach" I think about what potential harm a therapy might do and
basically prioritize in order of least risk of harm to most risk of
harm.
