Thyroid Cancer Homeopathic Treatments

Thyroid cancer affects an estimated 40,000 people per year in the United States, and women are more likely to have it. It commonly attacks people over the age of 30, but it is known to happen in all age groups, worsening with age. Thyroid cancer almost always starts with the growth of a nodule deep within the thyroid gland. However, only about 1 percent of all thyroid nodules are cancerous. Following homeopathic treatment can help eliminate cancerous cells in the thyroid gland and other areas in the body.


CAAT


Controlled amino acid therapy, or CAAT, is thought to be an effective treatment and cure for thyroid cancer. The treatment involves administering supplements, amino acids and dietary changes to accommodate the intake of the amino acids. This therapy is ordinarily monitored heavily by a medical professional, who administers all supplements and herbs.


Mind and Body


Another alternative treatment falls under the idea that you can literally think yourself well by meditation and practices like yoga, pilates and even taking up hobbies such as art, music and dance. It is believed that meditation in conjunction with herbal supplements can prevent and even possibly treat thyroid cancer as well as other ailments.


Other Therapies


Massage therapy and chiropractic medicine can help relieve the pain associated with thyroid cancer and other issues as well as promote a sense of well-being. One could even receive acupuncture treatments for relief and treatment of pain and swelling of the thyroid gland.
