A member asked:
What is it called when proteins are used to cure diseases like tumors, cancers, and other homeostatic imbalances?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What are you asking?: Cancer isn't really a "homeostatic imbalance." it's a group of cells bearing genetic mutations, and no "restoring homeostasis" by taking "natural remedies" is going to stop it. Antibody rx is now commonplace for some cancers & a few novel cancer treatments involve administering fusion proteins targeting cancer antigens though these are not generally given with the expectation of cure.
