Ty Bollinger has done an excellent job of covering the many ways of treating cancer naturally. In his book he also gives you the history behind why the medical industry has not embraced these treatments, most of which you can implement along with the current standard of treatment without jeopardizing those treatments.
Not only does it cover each type of cancer, but depending on what stage the cancer is at, what steps you should be taking for that stage of cancer. These are all none invasive, natural treatments. If it’s a treatment that requires a sympathetic physician, the source is given for contacting such a doctor.
You will also find, depending on the natural treatment recommended for the stage cancer listed, the recommended source or brand for that treatment. Quality does count! If you need to let your physician know you are taking additional supplements due to possible reactions with your current therapy that information is there as well.
There are no magic bullets when it comes to cancer. Each cancer is different depending on where it’s located and what stage it is in when found. “Cancer – Step outside the Box” gives you the information you need to understand where your cancer came from to begin with and what steps you need to take to insure a greater outcome of surviving it.
Here are just a few of the chapters listed in this book:
- The Facts About Cancer
- Top 5 Stage IV Treatments
- Stage III Cancer Treatments
- The Overnight Cure For Cancer (OCC)
- 2 Common Cancers and Dr. Clark

Breast cancer can be treated with a mastectomy or breast preservation surgery, lumpectomy, followed by radiation and sometimes chemotherapy. These are the best ways to prevent recurrence of cancer. The most common place for cancer to come back is in the same area where it was found the first time.
The determination of which treatment is best for an individual is based on the pathology of the disease. The initial biopsy, which is done when the cancer is first suspected, will tell what type of cancer is present and whether it is hormone receptive. The knowledge of hormone receptors, or not, found will be part of the decision making information for an individual’s treatment. Some types of tumors are stimulated by normal hormones found in a woman’s body, such as progesterone, estrogen, and HER-2. A tumor may show a positive response to one or more of these hormones. By knowing this information, a plan of treatment can be offered that will improve a woman’s chances of cancer free survival.
The pathology from the surgery, done to remove the cancer tumor, will tell if the entire tumor was removed and if cancer was found in the lymph nodes. During surgery the surgeon can see the cancer tumor, but not all of the cancer cells can be visualized. So the tumor is sent to a pathologist who puts the tumor and the surrounding tissue that was removed by the surgeon under a microscope. This way cancer cells that might be outside the main tumor can be seen. The lymph nodes that were removed in surgery can also be looked at under a microscope and it can be determined if there are cancer cells found in the lymph nodes. Often a Sentinel Node can be found, if a dye is used before surgery. This dye is injected before surgery and will show which node is the main node that drains fluid from the cancer tumor site. (The lymphatic system drains non blood fluids throughout the body.)
If lymph nodes are found to have cancer cells within them the cancer has moved from the tumor site to other areas in the body. This movement of cancer cells away from the tumor indicates metastasis, or stray cancer cells that are traveling in the body. The final pathology will offer much information about the type of cancer, the location of the cancer and how best to treat the cancer to provide a cancer free life for the woman.
A woman who has been diagnosed with cancer, from a biopsy, then will see a surgeon who specializes in breast cancer. Surgery to remove the tumor is always needed, as long as the tumor is in the breast it will grow and chances are the cancer cells will travel away from the main tumor and spread throughout the body. These cells that move away from the main tumor will settle and grow into tumors in other parts of the body, not just the breast. The surgeon will ask questions about the woman’s health and ask about the woman’s family. If a woman has family members that have, or have had breast cancer, this information will be included in treatment decisions. The surgeon then will discuss ways to treat the cancer. A mastectomy which is a removal of the breast that has the cancer in it, with one or more lymph nodes removed is one choice. A lumpectomy which is removal of the cancer tumor and a small amount of tissue surrounding the tumor is another choice. The size of the tumor, determined by the mammogram, will influence these choices. If the tumor is large a lumpectomy may not be a good choice. The smaller the tumor, the better the chances of survival for the woman. The larger the tumor the more involved the surgery will need to be, such as a mastecomy. Sometimes chemotherapy is needed before surgery; the chemotherapy will hopefully shrink the tumor and kill cancer cells that may have moved away from the main tumor (metastasized). When this is done before the surgery, the hope is that after surgery most or all of the cancer will be gone and only radiation will be needed. Chemotherapy may be needed after surgery depending on the type and stage of the cancer. Continue Reading

Human liver cancer is the most common one of the most difficult treatment of the disease. With the scientific and technological progress, liver cancer diagnostic technology has been improving; sub-clinical stage liver cancer can be diagnosed. Early detection and removal as soon as possible, but also to the early and mid-term liver cancer patients has brought vitality. But those recurrence, and then again with a relapse and recurrence and to prevent the transfer of such issues; those who cannot accept surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatment or intervention in patients with advanced liver cancer and the postoperative physical rehabilitation, radiotherapy and chemotherapy after the toxicity of The treatment of such issues; Western medicine, it is helpless. At that time Chinese medicine treatment or combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine treatment has great advantages. These difficulties are now on the solution for brief introduction.
Difficult one: pre-cancerous lesions of the prevention and treatment
1. Prevention
(1) to guide people to improve their living conditions, such as water sanitation, food hygiene, living conditions.
(2) treatment of active viral hepatitis, cirrhosis, and so on. With particular emphasis on hepatitis B and hepatitis C treatment.
2. Treatment
Actively seeking Chinese medicine treatment and control of pre-cancerous lesions progress.
(1) Bushen Yanggan, enhanced macrophage phagocytosis. Common side were: 2 to balls, fried, and so consistent. Hepatitis is less than suitable for liver and kidney, Yangan dry mouth, insomnia weak, soft Dengzheng knee pain, long-term use.
(2) Jianpi Yiqi, nourishing and promoting NK cell activity, commonly used to: Yang-ginseng soup ( “Punishment and the Council”), Shiquandabu soup. Suitable for liver disease of people falling into the frail, long-term use. Continue Reading
