Re: What Is Cancer? by Ty Bollinger- A review

Finally he claims that the consumption of cancer cells results in an inflammatory response, which is not true.

I read that some alternative treatments -- the ones that kill cancer cells -- cause a temporary inflammation of the tumor, which happens when the immune system's NK cells attack the cancer cells.  This inflammation even if temporary is very dangerous for patients with lung cancer, brain cancer, any cancer of the digestive tract, cancer of the bile duct and a few other situations where there is a life-threatening blockage (e.g. the tumor is pressing on a vital organ or is obstructing the flow of fluids).

Isn't it logical -- and we see it all the time -- that there is inflammation whenever/whereever the body (immune system) is fighting an infection?  Isn't it also the same when the immune system is fighting cancer cells?

On the other hand, I also read that there are some alternative treatments that do not kill cancer cells but simply cause them to revert into normal cells.  (IIRC they do this by killing the microbes inside of cancer cells so when the microbes are dead the cancer cells turn back into normal cells).  These are the ones that are recommended for brain cancer and other types of cancer in which inflammation at the tumor site is very dangerous and cannot be tolerated.  I think frankincense is one of these treatments.

Where would you place chaparral and other anti-microbials in the scheme of things?  Do they kill cancer cells or do they revert cancer cells into normal cells?

Thanks!
