Our understanding of the group of diseases we call cancer, and the mechanisms that cause or drive it, has progressed enormously over the last 50 years. Yet there is still no consensus over mechanisms. Mainstream oncological treatments continue to often fail and cause extensive collateral damage. Cancer now ranks as either the first or second leading cause of death in most industrialised countries.
Conventional oncologists remain sceptical about treatments that don’t involve the mainstay of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, hormone therapy and surgery. Natural treatments for cancer outside this orthodoxy are shunned, often due to a lack of knowledge, fear of failure, or concerns over the consequences of stepping outside established guidelines.
These are not cancer treatments but rather, are non-pharmacological interventions that help support patients or clients who have been diagnosed with cancer. The information provided in this masterclass is intended for information and educational purposes only. It is essential that any non-pharmacological interventions delivered to such individuals are provided only after a consultation with, and approval by, a registered medical practitioner or oncologist and after gaining properly informed consent from the individual with cancer.
