Strange Cures And Treatments For Cancer

Cancer refers to an array of different conditions involving the abnormal growth and division of cells in the body. Cancerous cells can grow or divide out of control, meaning not the way they should, and they may also not die when they should. Abnormal cells can form tumors, and many tumors can be cancerous. Cancers are typically named for where they originate in the affected individual's body, such as colon cancer, though some forms have fancier names attached to them, such as leukemia. Cancer is a devastating condition and is responsible for countless deaths annually. Many patients and their families, not to mention doctors and researchers, are on the hunt for treatments, therapies, and even a potential cure for cancer.

Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda)

Sodium bicarbonate, more commonly referred to as baking soda, is a natural product that can reportedly help individuals cure cancer and potentially lessen the harsh side effects of chemotherapy, the most common treatment for cancer out there. Baking soda, it appears, helps neutralize the acid metabolic environment in which the tumor grows, favoring the growth inhibition of tumor cells. Unfortunately, the risk of alkalosis (blood alkalinity that prevents the normal development of body functions) is a possible complication of this treatment. Thus, it is crucial for every cancer patient to consult their doctor to determine what is appropriate for them.

Unicellular Green Alga

The next strange item on this list of cancer 'cures' is unicellular green alga, which happens to contain the highest level of chlorophyll than any other plant. It also contains extremely high amounts of protein, carbohydrates, all B vitamins, vitamins C and E, acidic amino acids (including nine essential ones), as well as enzymes and minerals. Chlorella stimulates the immune system and production of interferon, one of the largest body's natural defenses against cancer. Increased production of interferon stimulates macrophages, T-lymphocytes, and tumor necrosis factor that attack cancer.
