How to Find Treatment in Europe for Cancer

While a number of health practitioners in the United States maintain that no consistent cure for cancer exists, a wider school of European cancer specialists belonging to the Cancer Cure Foundation reject the notion. Dr. Zolta Rona, in her article "The Failure of Chemotherapy," details a number of the harmful effects attributed to the popular cancer treatment method. Among these she cites a very low complete recovery rate (2 to 4 percent) as well as detrimental side-effects such as a two thousand percent risk increase in the of secondary tumor growth. When considering these and the number of other harmful effects associated with chemotherapy, it isn't surprising that many unsatisfied cancer patients look abroad to find a more reliable treatment for their conditions.

Instructions

• 1

  Select which country and organization you wish to consult for treatment by viewing a list of international cancer health practitioners. One such list, provided by the Cancer Cure Foundation, details over twenty countries outside the United States wherein alternative cancer therapy is practiced with recognizable results. Once you have selected a country and an organization, look further into the treatment by following to the practitioner's website. For example, the Kroiss-Cancer-Center for Alternative Cancer Therapy, operating out of Austria, has a seventy-year case history of treating cancers such as breast, lung, colon/rectum, prostate and brain cancer using a gentle non-chemical radioactive therapy.

  Select which cancer therapy method you prefer. According to proponents of alternative medicine, such as Dr. Zolta Rona, the cure for cancer has been discovered numerous times throughout the last century. Though each method differs considerably, from audio-frequency therapy to chemical injection, you should peruse and select which cancer treatment you prefer from the list.

• 3

  Research and ask the necessary questions about comparing treatments. You may wish to undergo a number of cancer treatment methods at one time, or simply focus on one clinic. The differences between holistic immunotherapy, acupuncture, herbal extracts and biofeedback, to name a few, are considerable and the possibility exists that one method may be ineffective for you. Read as much reliable information as you can in finding out which treatment method you trust with your healing.

• 4

  Contact the cancer center of choice to begin a correspondence between you and their health physicians. Ask relevant questions about your specific variety of cancer and its proven compatibility with their treatment techniques. Once you are confident with your chosen health physicians and their ability to meet your needs, arrange the details for traveling abroad.

• 5

  Ensure that you have all payment and insurance details squared away before traveling abroad. Keep in mind that under certain European healthcare systems, such as those in France, it may be possible to be reimbursed partly or entirely for treatment received at one of these clinics. Also, certain treatments may require that the patient stay for six or more months while receiving their chosen cancer therapy, an arrangement which may require a long-term visa.
