Are there any naturopathic remedies for breast cancer?

No..: Breast cancer treatments are based upon evidence-based medicine, with rigorous data to support our recommendations. While i respect my patient's desires to seek out alternative therapies to supplement their care, never compromise a proven therapy for an unproven one.

None: Be very careful when you are offered non-conventional treatment for this serious but very treatable condition. Naturopaths will mention 'immune balance' and 'chelation' and other unproven notions. They will offer colonic clean outs and acupuncture. None of this addresses the cancer which will eat away at you while you waste time with the naturopath. See your oncologist immediately.

Naturopathic=natural: I do agree with the previous doctors answers; but i would like a bit of input.While, conventional proven treatment--should be given to a patient by an expert in the field of breast cancer, after the traditional treatments are given many times the patient is left alone-no real post chemo-post rads-post surgery protocal is rx--.Too bad!good nutrition, exercise, yoga, emotional support etc. Big help.

No. : Please please please see a real doctor for treatment of your cancer. If you must see a naturopath save the 'cures' for the side effects of treatment, nausea, depression etc. And if you notice they aren't working, stop taking them and save your money
