Alternative cancer treatments and the immune system offers a worthwhile proposition that needs to be further looked into. After researching various cancer treatment options, I came upon one that shows some promise: The immune system cancer treatment therapy, known also as Immunotherapy.

Developed by Dr. Joseph M. Issels of Germany around 1970, it involves stimulating a person's immune mechanism to eliminate cancer cells through their recognition by healthy immune systems cells.

Cancer is a class of diseases characterized by out-of-control cell growth. There are over 100 different types of cancer, and each is classified by the type of cell that is initially affected.

Cancer harms the body when damaged cells divide uncontrollably to form lumps or masses of tissue called tumors (except in the case of leukemia where cancer prohibits normal blood function by abnormal cell division in the blood stream). Tumors can grow and interfere with the digestive, nervous, and circulatory systems, and they can release hormones that alter body function.
