Alternative Treatments

What are Alternative Treatments:

Additional Alternative  Treatments options for breast cancer  patients offers a world of possibilities beyond Standard of Care and
Off-Label Treatments. These holistic approaches, when incorporated as part of a breast cancer treatment protocol are powerful
tools for healing even if they are not first-line treatments for most. For some individuals they serve as effective stand-alone treatments. According to MD Anderson Cancer Center various alternative treatments have show positive impact on quality of life and survival rates among breast cancer patients.

Here are some of the most effective and inspiring options:

• Herbal Supplements – although these are technically Alternative Treatments BCA classifies these as Off-Label necessities also because many now have scientific studies behind them and some are prescriptions that directly correct physical  deficiencies that cause and/or allow breast cancer to grow.
• Acupuncture
• Cupping
• Meditation
• Yoga
• Music Therapy

By embracing these alternative treatments women find emotional solace and strength that nurtures the mind which in turn nurtures the spirit and therefore the body, playing an important part in the healing of breast cancer. BCA believes the right supplements that target breast cancer cells and bolster the immune system are as important for breast cancer healing as any medical treatment, prescription drug or OTC supplement because they work in synergy for overall healing.

Breast Cancer healing is about healing the whole woman. BCA believes Alternative Medicine is a critical piece of breast cancer healing. Saying “yes” to more self compassion equals more self-care that brings about better overall health that facilitates breast cancer healing.
