The current cancer treatments, that is to say, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, try to eliminate the symptom, which is the cellular proliferation, but do not stop the disease, because they do not get to the root cause. By damaging the DNA, they generate very deep cellular lesions which in many cases are permanent and cannot be regenerated. It is difficult to understand how, if you believe that cancer is caused by genetic alterations, you use the same agents which provoke such alterations as a treatment for it.
It does not mean that medical drugs are bad. But those which are aggressive are bad, because they cause more damage than benefits. For example, anti-inflammatory, corticosteroids and some immunomodulators can be useful at certain times. Pharmacology, used correctly, can help both to recover health life, and is therefore curable, and to alleviate the symptoms and improve the quality of life in the diseases which cannot be cured.
What I am suggesting that more research be done in the intersection of alternative therapies (Ayurveda) and modern medicine. These alternative therapies focus more on restoring the work-life balance so that the causes of the disease can be eliminated. To that effect, I am helping setup a 12-bed Ayurveda hospital in Ujjain. Please contact me if you are interested.

This is great... I would also suggest exploring the research around Ketogenic diets and cancer ...there is a significant evidence that cancer cells thrive on sugar and hence a high fat low carb diet is very effective in treating cancer.
