Dear Forum Members,
Have anyone used alternative medicine to complement your bladder cancer treatments, such as acupuncture, herbs, and/or Cannabis?
I have been using Essiac Tea (burdock root, sheep sorrel herb, slippery elm bark, rhubarb root), Soursop Leaf Tea, and 5 Defender Mushroom power (reishi, maitake, shitake, chaga, turkey tail), to complement my urologist's treatments. These teas and Mushrooms have anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties just to name a couple of benefits for bladder cancer patients.
Of course, I understand alternative medicine is a holistic approach and a preventative strategy. I am hoping it will help in preventing the bladder cancer from coming back.
I am also taking Cannabis, since the BCD and THC in Cannabis can help with pain without the side effects of opioids or Advil.
Any opinions and/or advice would be appreciated.
Warm regards, Nelson
