Question on healing: Everywhere I find on the web says there are no cures for cervical cancer or hpv. Do you know of any holistic/alternative treatments?

Healing facilitation response: There are holistic remedies to help the body address just about every health challenge.

It makes sense if we think back to the time when there were no prescription drugs. Native peoples had to learn how to treat conditions naturally all the time.

Dealing with cancer successfully can include adjunctive therapies. Some have used natural remedies exclusively to beat cancer, in fact.

However, I'm sure you know that the law prevents me from prescribing or saying that anything natural might do what medical science says isn't possible.

So far, in this land of the free, I am still able to say what I believe though, and I do believe that. As for hpv, I'd strongly suggest researching the impact of such vaccinations on the immune system if you are considering giving an adolescent girl the new, and in my mind too new, vaccine everyone is pushing.

I know one company that has created a formula specific to hpv virus. They use a researched and tested blend of pure essential oils. It would personally be my first choice if I had hpv. Here's more of my take on this subject and a link to their site if you want to research their products:

The Stages of Cervical Cancer: An informed patient is an empowered patient. In dealing with cancer, I advocate strong participation in your own recovery including asking all questions you feel necessary of your cancer specialist to help you make the most informed decision on your path to recovery.

I am of the awareness that there are times when disease has progressed so far in the body that, at times, surgery or radical procedure is the best approach.

However, I say that rather hesitantly because I also have witnessed the body's almost miraculous ability to heal anything if given what it needs to heal. You are the best judge of your body's state.

There are 5 stages in the development of this particular type of cancer, from Stage 0 to Stage 4. Learn what the various stages of cervical cancer may mean.

Part Two: what i would do if i had cervical cancer

What the asker of this question had to say about my response: "Thanks again Neva, I couldn't have gathered all the information you gave me in a year of google searches!"
