This web page discusses uterine cancer, which may have a different mechanism and treatment from other forms of cancer. Please see Cancer Overview for general information that is common to all forms of cancer.
Please see conventional, complimentary and alternative medical treatments for important background information regarding the different types of medical treatments discussed on this page. Naturopathic, Complimentary and Alternative treatments that may be considered include:
Researchers have known since the 1970's that giving a woman estrogen without also giving progesterone or synthetic progestins will increase the risk of cancer of the uterus [Quigley2006].
In contrast, [Friedman2013] has presented a compelling model for the prevention and treatment of breast and prostate cancer. An important feature of this model is observation that synthetic progestins actually raise the risk of breast and prostate cancer.
The differences between different types of cancers require further study.
[LDN_Cancer] reports that the late Dr. Bernard Bihari treated approximately 450 patients with some form of cancer, with a 60% success rate, almost all of who had failed to respond to standard treatments. Dr. Weyrich has been trained in the use of Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN). However, Dr. Weyrich has not treated any cases of uterine cancer with LDN.
Please see What is Low Dose Naltrexone? for more information.
