Stage 4 Colon Cancer - Treatment Options

A stage 4 colon cancer diagnosis leaves many people scared for the future., particularly if only diagnosed at this advanced stage.

Many may be surprised to learn that surgery, chemotherapy and radiation are not the only colon cancer and stage 4 treatments. Many people have actually recovered from their cancer, even with a stage 4 prognosis.

Alternative Cancer

Survivors tell their tales throughout the Internet, disappointed that conventional treatment providers know little about options. Oncologists rarely advise their patients about alternatives, possibly because it is beyond the scope of their training, and the information provided by drug companies.

Cancer survivor, Karon Beattie believes that drug companies, who direct and control conventional cancer treatment, cannot profit from unpatentable treatments and therefore news of them does not reach the practices of most doctors.

Only around 3% of advanced cancer patients treated with chemotherapy survive in the long term. Conversely, some "alternative" substances have shown long-term survival rates of up to 70% when used alone, and when used in combinations, up to 90% or better.

According to Beattie, most doctors simply don't have the knowledge or training. Yet some who are open to alternative approaches, have explored new treatments and are quietly healing.

Of the treatments she has collected, one is a nutritional supplement used by alternative physicians to achieve complete remission of aggressive, stage 4 cancers. One clinic has seen a 70% positive response rate in stage 4 patients taking only eight teaspoons of the supplement each day.

Another treatment using a mixture of cancer-fighting ingredients has achieved dramatic improvements in half of one doctor's stage 4 patients.
