By improving immune to perfection, the body is expected to have the power to weaken the cancer cells.
Cancer still occupies a row of deadly diseases. Various cancer treatments done to overcome them. One of the treatment effort is being done is through immunotherapy. This method is used as an alternative to conventional treatment.
"There were 20 cases of cancer worldwide, with no left unharmed can be normal again. If not for immunity, what then?" said. Prof. Dr. dr. Santoso Cornain, SpPD, KAI, DSc, professor of Faculty of Medicine, University of experts imunopatologi Indonesia, told Tempo on the sidelines of a seminar on cancer in MRCCC RS. Siloam recently.
Cornain also cited several cases of precancerous and cancerous skin (melanoma) which can also be recovered without any action. Experts suspect this phenomenon occurs because the immune either. He acknowledged these treatments are still fought in the treatment.
Similarly, in Indonesia. Already there are some doctors who apply these therapies, with several types of medication and injections to boost immunity.
Cornain also said the therapy is necessary to boost immunity. "At an early stage tumors, immunity is still strong. If you have reached an advanced stage, decreased immunity," he said.
In addition, conventional cancer treatments, such as radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery, lower body resistance due to white blood cells and red blood turned off. Conventional treatment of side effects as well. Patients may experience diarrhea, hair loss, pain, and so on.
Therefore, patients need to increase protein intake to produce leukocytes. Leukocyte function as part of the immunity to detect tumors or cancer. In addition there is lymph node leukocytes. According Cornain, both can be engineered to be a tumor or cancer cell killing.
The last few months, said Cornain, there are pros and cons about throwing the lymph nodes and leukocytes. However, he argues, as long as it could be engineered to kill cancer cells, the better strengthen it. "If it can be controlled, do not be thrown away," he said.
This can be done with a tablet stamina enhancer, antiviral drugs (there are side effects too), injections, and eating foods that contain lots of protein. Food and tablets are referred to as immunomodulatory or immune system boosters.
Foods that contain many proteins found in soybeans, mushrooms, and seaweed. Proteins can also be obtained from food or drink animal .*** [DIAN YULIASTUTI | KORAN TEMPO 3560]
Know Immune Therapy
Cancer treatment currently carried out by various methods. Scientific advances began to be introduced is an immune therapy. This therapy is referred to as biological therapy are minimal toxic side effects than conventional cancer therapy.
This treatment uses the body's immune system, either directly or indirectly, by boosting immune mechanisms to fight cancer. This therapy uses the patient's own cells for the treatment. This therapy is considered safe and not cause any allergies.
Autologous Immune Enhancement Therapy (AIET) successfully clinically in Japan and the United States in the last two decades. Immune therapy of cancer cells with autologous lymphocytes activated in the laboratory and was first introduced in Rosenberg of the U.S. National Institutes of Health.
Nichi-Asia Life Science Sdn Bhd (NiSCELL), cooperation between Japan and the Institution Bioterapi GN Nichi on Degenerative Indian Medical Center, using this method. They introduced the method to Malaysia first. "We believe this method offers an effective way in the fight against cancer," said Vincent Chang, CEO NiSCELL.
A study in Japan involving 1,400 patients showed the effectiveness of conventional treatments and combinations of these immune therapy. Reaching 20-30 percent. *** [THESTAR.COM | DIAN Y | KORAN TEMPO 3560]
