General Cancer Information

Lately, there has been a lot of talk around the alleged liver cancer herbal cure thetole. As much as I support the idea to look outside of what traditional cancer treatments have to offer, I am always sceptical when I hear the word ‘cure’ associated with ‘cancer’. But before we will attempt to shed some light on this ominous liver cancer medicine thetole, let’s make sure that we are all on the same page and understand the basics of liver cancer.

There is a lot of confusion around this cancer, even among patients who are directly affected as well as health care professional. It all comes down to semantics and the way use terms incorrectly for certain things. The cancer of the liver is called hepatocellular carcinoma. Hepa is the Greek word for liver. 

This malignant disease is also referred to as primary liver cell carcinoma, which is in my opinion (as a patient) the most adequate way to describe it. The problem is, when we in a colloquial context speak of liver cancer, we do most talk about a cancer that did not originate in the liver, but has spread to this organ at some point. In other words, very often the cancer actually originated somewhere els, like for instance in the breast, pancreas or the lungs and has then at a later stage invaded the liver.

The causes of liver cancer is typically strongly connected to cirrhosis, the scarring of the liver tissue, which can be a result of the following: Autoimmune diseases, alcohol abuse, infection with hepatitis B or C and excess iron in the body (also known as hemochromatosis. Primary liver cancer is more often diagnosed in men than in women and usually seen in males ages 55 - 60. Further to that, this condition has a stronger presence in South America and Europe compared to the United States. Liver cancer ranks number 4 among all cancer types worldwide. Some studies suggest that on average a liver cancer patient dies within 12 months after diagnosis. Thus, it is not surprising that affected patients look for liver cancer treatment options that are out of the ordinary.

Okay, so let's discuss now what we know about those liver cancer herbs thetole. ‘The Tole’ is rooted into traditional Chinese Medicine, and basically combines neuro-acupuncture with herbal medicine in order to treat a myriad of illnesses and diseases. So far so good. Again, if you had read my story and my kidney cancer blog, I am a strong proponent for alternative cancer treatment options. However, I am also a strong believer that any kind of treatment must be monitored by qualified medical professionals. I always get very concerned if people buy 'cancer cures' over the internet. Recently, some 'providers' emerged and sell their 'liver cancer alternative medicine thetole' products online. Now this is just my personal opinion: but I would stay away from any products that are sold over the internet in order to treat cancer (or any other disease for that matter), unless I was explicitly advised to do so by legit Oncologist. I don't know if this liver cancer acupuncture thetole thing works or not. But I am inclined to say that is don not cure cancer. Because otherwise, believe me, the pharmaceutical industry would have gotten a hold on it already.
