Conventional methods of treating cancer generate approximately $200 billion dollars each year, and that’s just in the U.S.! Most of this money goes to Big Pharma and a large majority is generated through the sale and use of chemotherapy drugs.
Chemotherapy is part of the “Big 3” treatment methods promoted by allopathic medicine: chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery, with millions of cancer patients using it in some way each year. If you or someone you love decide to go the “chemo route” as part of an overall cancer treatment protocol, be sure to get the facts. Most importantly, find out what you can do to detoxify your body right away once your chemo course is over.
What Chemotherapy Does
For a comprehensive explanation of what chemotherapy is and how it effects your body on all levels, check out this The Truth About Cancer article on the subject HERE.
In terms of what negative effects chemotherapy has on breast cancer patients in particular, new research has discovered that it may actually do more harm than good. Approximately 30% of all breast cancer patients will undergo some form of chemotherapy. There is currently a general understanding across the board (among conventional doctors as well) that these treatments do affect the immune system. No one knew to what extent until recently however. A British study conducted by the University of Leeds and published in the January 2016 edition of Breast Cancer Researcher took a look at how chemotherapy affected immune system health in 88 breast cancer patients. The results were shocking…
Leeds researchers found breast cancer chemotherapy to be associated with “long-term changes in immune parameters that should be considered during clinical management.” These changes included a drastic reduction in T, B, and Natural Killer cell counts after just two weeks of treatment. The study also discovered that certain immune system cells, including T cells, remained significantly lower a whole 9 months after treatment ended. The most significant finding, however, was that repopulating T and B cells expressed significant changes when compared to their pre-chemotherapy predecessors. This indicates that foundational genetic mutations may carry over into future generations of cells long after chemotherapy had ended.
Like radiation and surgery, it is important to remember that although chemotherapy may shrink visible tumors, it will not affect circulating cancer stem cells. Stem cells are “blank slates.” Healthy stem cells are needed for the formation of everything from T cells to connective tissue. When cancer is a concern, however, those same stem cells can turn deadly and be used for re-seeding and refueling tumor growth.
5 Natural Therapies That Can Help With Chemotherapy Detox
The following natural substances and modalities can help you detoxify chemo drugs and rebuild your immune system. All of these natural substances and protocols will also help prevent cancer recurrence as well.
#1 Broccoli Sprouts: Broccoli sprouts contain a high amount of the cancer-busting and immune boosting substance sulforaphane. Sulforaphane has proven to be a strong cancer inhibitor, especially of Breast Cancer. It creates apoptosis (cancer cell death) and also boosts Natural Killer cell activity. Sulforaphane can also be consumed in supplement form and in some high-powered formulas. Click here to discover how to grow your own broccoli sprouts at home.
#2 Beta Glucans: A quality beta glucan supplement extracted from either yeast or (more powerfully) from medicinal mushrooms can provide a very effective way to boost your immune system overall. Beta glucans increase the ability of immune cells to “eat” cancer cells and, according to a University of Kentucky study, can have an effect on breast cancer gene expression.
#3 Curcumin: There are over 200 documented studies to date that address the effects of curcumin on breast cancer in particular. And there are literally thousands on the positive effect this component of the Indian spice turmeric can have on the immune system. Curcumin has shown to reduce tumor growth and induce apoptosis, even on multi-drug resistant breast cancers. It is a potent anti-inflammatory and can drastically improve immune function. One study published in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry reported that curcumin tripled the expression of a protein whose job it is to combat bacteria, viruses, and fungus.
#4 Chlorella. Chlorella is most known for its detoxifying ability against heavy metals, but it is also a great chelator (binder) of other toxins (like residuals from chemotherapy) as well. In addition, it is a super-booster for the immune system. It is a sound source of vitamin B-12 and provides 10 times the amount of beta carotene than carrots. It also contains polysaccharides, which have been shown to improve the ability of immune system cells to communicate with each other when pathogens threaten. It also contains chlorophyll, which increases blood oxygenation. Chlorella can also increase glutathione levels as well.
#5 Hyperthermia: Hyperthermia is the use of heat to detoxify and heal the body. It can include far infrared saunas, hot therapeutic baths, Biomat technology, and helio (sun-based) protocols as well as other heat-focused modalities. According to the National Cancer Institute, “high temperatures can damage and kill cancer cells, usually with minimal injury to normal tissue.” And according to research done by Dr. Nobuhiro Yoshimizu, author of the book The Fourth Treatment for Medical Refugees, raising your body temp by just one degree can boost your immune system by 40%.
Finally, in addition to the substances mentioned above, if you are on a healing path with breast cancer, consider getting your vitamin D, iodine, and melatonin levels checked. Supplement accordingly, based on the advice of your natural health provider.
After chemotherapy treatment, the body is filled with toxins. Some of those toxins will stay in your system and continue to wreak havoc unless they are flushed out in a proactive way. In addition, the immune system will most likely be functioning below healthy levels for some time after chemotherapy has ended.
I am not an oncologist but it just makes sense to me that in order to regain health and keep cancer at bay after chemo, one would need to flush residual chemo toxins out and restore immunity in the safest way possible. You can do this with natural plant compounds and simple holistic protocols designed to gently restore and renew.

Nadine, find out all you can about glutathione, the reasons for raising the level in your body and the studies showing the raising of the level during chemo will not only reduce the nasty effects of chemo but can also improve the benefits being sought with chemo. We now have Non Transdermal patches that will raise the glutathione level far higher than any other means known in the world today and all with ease of use, low cost, NO Harmful Side Effects and extremely effective. No drugs, no chemicals; just a powerful way for the body to heal itself. Rob wellnessplus@adam.com.au
I live in Nigeria and I finished my last dose of chemotherapy in August 2016, please how can I get the patches you mentioned here, I will be very grateful. Thank you. Mfon
Hello Family Beloved; We know what Chemo is and does. What is we could change the liquid going into our viens. What is we saw it as good rather than bad? What if we do as God did and create something ” and He saw that it was Good” and it we take something into our bodies and know that it is bad then it is as we think it is. What if we were the Placebo effect ? What if there is more to everything-experience that we know? Being a realist is good but what if we decide what is real and what is not. With cancer and other things the first thing we put into our bodies is FEAR and that is toxic. I am just saying, If we are made in the Image and Likeness of God, Maybe there is Power hidden inside us???? Love. Yourself called alan.
I had my second breast cancer surgery complete with chemo radiation and hercptin in 2008/2009 surgery only for the first cancer my question there is so much new information available now is it too late to start thsee new natural protocols to detox chemo and how effective will it be also is it possible to lessen the damage radiation has done to my body
Chemotherapy is a toxic therapy to do. Many people have fallen ill through chemotherapy. They lost their hair, vomited, felt nauseous, developed cold sores in their mouth, and felt numbness in their feet and hands. Detoxifying your body is very good thing to do. Broccoli sprouts and turmeric should be organic, because if they are not organic, farmer might had sprayed pesticides and herbicides on those plants. In my opinion, hyperthermia, immunotherapy, viral therapy, and oxygen therapy should be used to treat breast cancer instead of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, because they just attack cancer cells and leave healthy cells alone and people do not feel the same sickness. I would not be so nervous about getting breast cancer, even if it was stage 4, if I did not have to do those conventional therapies.
Hyperthermia – could this be a typo?
No Elaine, it’s not a typo: HYPER (above), & thermia – (normal body) temperature, as opposed to HYPO (below) thermia.
Hyperthermia is raised body temperature, and in this case is deliberately induced.
Hypothermia is lowered body temperature, and is usually associated with “being caught out in the elements” with insufficient protection.
No typo. They are talking about using heat. Hypothermia is when you are cold.
I was diagnosed w Multiple Myeloma. Had 4 months chemo, stem cell transplant last July 2015. Currently on Maintence chemo every 3 weeks pill form. I am very interested in detoxing.
Seems most comments are reference breast cancer. What about all the others…
Thank you
Hi Helen,
The best advice we can give you is to consult with one of the doctors/experts that we interviewed in our Global Quest Series. Here is a link to get their information: https://thetruthaboutcancer.com/experts-info-sheet/
I have emailed so many Dr’s. ..about my MM Dx and no one answers. MM among theseveral drs seems to be something they don’t want to respond to. After the last broadcast I reached out to Dr’s and no one assisted. Bought tapes and will cancel them they have not even cone since last year!
So disappointed!
I was surprised there wasn’t any mention of perhaps the best overall immune booster -oxidative therapy- specifically, ozone threatment in the form of auto-hemotherapy! Unfortunately, the US is far behind the rest of the world in using this amazing therapy, but it can be found all over the US if you look for it. It has dozens of benefits. Highly recommend!
If you want that go to CanadianChaga.com and get some of the best chaga there is .
Thank you for this very helpful and informative article
It is never too late to start Irene. The first thing is to change your diet and go from there.
Your right Gary and Chaga will help at canadianchaga.com
Did you read the article? Mushrooms is point #2
Unfortunately the allopathic medical system has terrified patients into believing that these horrifically invasive and toxic options are required to “kill” cancer. The frightening reality is that these all destroy our immune system and are incapable of destroying the stem cells so relapse or metastasis is almost inevitable. There ought to be a law…..
There ought to be for sure! We keep saying it with no action in sight….so we come back to the same thing always! Chemo!
I think articles like this tend to justify chemotherapy. Why not just stick to natural remedies in the first place?
How are they justifying chemotherapy? Sorry this sounds like nonsense when we are talking about the dangers of poisons, not there benefit.
I recommend trying natural remedies first. People who have had chemo and have poor results may not benefit as much from natural remedies taken later. Chemo damages the immune system, our first defense. By the way, don’t you mean “their”?
I had breast cancer at 50 years old. I had surgery, as it was more accepted at the time. I immediately changed my lifestyle to a healthier one. I am now 94 and in good health. I look after myself, go for walks, and have my large family here for holiday celebrations. But I do find that if certain people know my age, they think the usual, that I do not have a mind, I forget, I misinterpret, and cannot understand, and whatever else. Never, that they misunderstand.
Go Olive Go! I am presently just past the mid-point in my chemotherapy treatments for stage 3 breast cancer. I had always followed a clean and active lifestyle and considered myself very healthy until I was diagnosed last October 2016 at age 62. Until your e-mail I had come to the conclusion that living a healthy lifestyle did NOT contribute to my staying cancer-free so I had almost decided to just wing-it from now on. Your story has given me food for thought.
Up to now I have fully accepted and embraced the chemotherapy with love and have had amazing results (my tumour has shrunk by 3/4) and there is a strong possibility of a lumpectomy instead of a mastectomy before my radiation. I feel that my full acceptance has sent me many angels along the way: after my first treatment I had mouth sores and the next nurse gave me ice to chew during the chemo infusions and I didn’t have mouth sores again / when I started the ‘D’ part of my FEC D chemo the nurse put ice packs on my toes and fingers to prevent tingling associated with it and so far I do not have this side effect/ my naturopathic doctor advised me to take 2000 mg of vitamin D 2 capsules of ginger and a high quality probiotic every day which has possibly contributed to my overall feeling of well-being over the last 2 1/2 months/ I gargle and swallow L-Glutamine powder which is supposed to help with digestion and tingling and so far I have not had many concerns with eating, diarrhea or constipation.
Anyways, I want to thank you Olive. As I near the end of my treatments I am starting to think about how to take care of myself post-chemo and you are a true inspiration.
Hi Fay, want to appreciate your contribution, I am 44years diagnosed of breast cancer last year ,went through the operation and chemotherapy before having the knowledge of natural remedies. After my chemo someone introduce me to vit D3, don’t really know it’s usefulness or its benefit, as I see you mentioned vit D2 here can you help educate me of its benefit. Thank you
I was under the impression that fasting was also a good way to renew the immune system. Either fasting before chemotherapy treatments- (apparently, it lessens the damage); or, in my case I did some fasting when treatment was over. A 2 or 3 day fast is supposed to regenerate the whole immune system. When I did a 3 day fast, I really felt like toxins (presumably from chemo) were being released from my body. If anybody wants to fast though, best to read up on it beforehand to learn how to fast safely….or talk to a doctor who knows something about fasting.
Please can someone tell me about a chemo drug Mitomycin?
I have asked so many times. Is it perhaps only used here in UK?
Surgeon wants to inject it weekly for 6 weeks. I am on aternative Budwig diet plus juicing plus supplements and do not want to have this
Please read about Cannabis Oil. I just cured a very aggressive Stage IV Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma with 60 days of high grade Cannabis Oil (RSO Oil). Get it! My oncologist said he’d never seen it cured this fast even with his preferred chemotherapy. Read everything you can about it and view the testimonials on YouTube. It is real, it works…..I should be dead according to my oncologist. Doctors are brainwashed and have no interest in natural remedies…..follow the money! God speed and good luck!
ThankYou for the article it is very helpful.
To Jackie and others : Phototherapy Glutathione patches are found to be the best method in the world for raising Glutathione levels to boost the immune system and detox harmful substances from the body. Raising Glutathione levels is found in trials to not only ease the uncomfortable side effects of chemo but will also improve the result the chemo is being used for in the first place. A win, win feature!
The patches are simple and easy to use, extremely effective, low in cost, are available in over 100 countries often with local delivery and have NO HARMFUL SIDE EFFTS.
Something for everyone to consider even if not receiving chemo? If you are looking for something effective for improving your quality of life in a safe and wonderful way this is it! Please ask if you have any questions on this. Rob wellnessplusw@adam.com.au

Hi, I received both radiation and chemo. I was diagnosed with stage 3 endometrial cancer July, 2012. The most important thing I can tell you is, no matter what you do, you must begin to release the fear and negativity surrounding cancer. So often most cancer diagnosis are fueled with so much fear. Fear will stop you in your tracks. Educate yourself and take an active role in your treatment plan whatever you choose to do. Taking a soul, mind, body approach helped me to get through that time. I let the doctors do the worrying, while I got busy working on my body and beliefs which included addressing my thoughts, giving myself loving care; switching to a whole food organic diet; and reconnecting with my faith spiritually. During that time I had a lot of personal issues going on as well as loosing my job. Haven limited funds at the time, I chose to detox after finishing treatment. I juiced veggies and herbs known to be good for detoxing.and drank a gallon of alkaline water everyday. Today I am cancer free and continue with the practices I began while experiencing cancer. I feel really good. I often wondered if I needed to do a full body detox for complete well being or if it is too late to bother. I am truly grateful for The Truth About Cancer and the work you do. I believe I would have chosen to deal with the cancer treatment minus the radiation and chemo, had I known more about the many alternative options available to me. Peace, Love and many Blessings to all.
Try Chaga it is natural from God not Doctors , You were made a human being and yet many doctors want to control your pocket book not you sickness . Oh so now the Med Nazis are going to come after me for saying that . Well hay do you know any doctor anywhere that has called up his patience that he just made $$$ off of yet and asked ” Are you cured yet? . No because bad doctors just want another appointment from you to get more money out of you while you suffer and die for them.
Well if you want to pretend that chemo is in the likeness of whatever sky fairy you believe in, good luck to you. You won’t change the resulting poisonous approach to your immune system
Meanwhile trying to see chemo as some kind of “good rather than bad” is the typical b/s that I have heard oncologists also dish out.
Don’t even go there, just refuse the chemo and you won’t have to pretend it is good or your god.
I have never read any information on the long term effects of Chemotherapy. My wife is a survivor of stage 3 breast Cancer in 1990 and now 27 years after the long Chemo and radiation treatments her teeth are falling out, poor overall health and there are not many articles that explore these issues of long term effects of the harsh treatment of Chemotherapy on the human body. Why? Are people not living long enough to study these effects? While receiving the Chemo, my wife’s Groshong catheter began to leak and the grotesque result was badly burned skin which bubbled as if her skin was melting. I can’t believe the medical community could ever think this to be a viable “treatment” when this is the result of a leak on the exterior just imagine what is being done inside the human body. and it’s NOT just the Chemo that kills but the Radiation as well. during my wife’s Radiation treatments they fried three of her ribs to the point that all it took to break them was to SIT DOWN.
When in 1934 a Doctor named Rolan P. Rife cured 13/13 TERMINALLY ILL cancer patients with his frequency generator, one would think that to be a more viable “Treatment” but, there’s absolutely NO PROFITS to be made for the medical community when there are no sick people!
Such an insensitive comment imo! There are some ppl like myself as a MULTIPLE MYELOMA SUFFERER who welcomes a post like this. I have reached out to many read many and seeked answers to how to naturally cure. No answers anywhere. Your argument that chemo is a ‘God” or “fairy” to some people is at height of just plain insensitivity. Please just please stop…..these post are a welcome read for do many of us. No one is saying that chemo us right or good.
Amazing information! I lost my husband to lung cancer at 52 to lung cancer, and yes he smoked! I took him to Cancer Treatments of America and learned so much about cancer. I learned that diet plays a big part and he did not have a good one. He did not eat greens which is very important. Chemo totally destroyed his immune system. I truly believe that there are natural ways to fight this disease. I also strongly believe cancer is big business and will not want a cure to be found. Chemo costs thousands of dollars. Be your own advocate and read and learn everything you can about it. Can’t wait to watch the upcoming programs about this subject. Thanking for all this wonderful and TRUTHFUL information that they don’t think tell you.
We did an alternative chemo two times but it made me so sick I couldn’t continue, They dropped my blood sugar to 50 then gave me 7 syringes of chemo. It was horrible ! Chemo is poison. AI started a veggie packed diet and the cancer has shrunk. Vit c IV’s infused with ozone help too.
It is “nonsense” to imply that people should ever try chemo first.
