How Can I Recognize a Fake Cancer Cure?

What exactly is the treatment?

Questions You're Afraid to Ask

🚩 Be cautious when you hear:

"100% guaranteed."

"Works for every cancer."

"No side effects."

"You don't need chemotherapy."

"Doctors are hiding this cure."

"Thousands have been cured."

"Detox removes cancer."

Ask seven questions:

What exactly is the treatment?

Has it been studied in humans?

Has it been studied for my cancer?

What are the risks?

Can it interact with my medicines?

Who is making the claim?

Are they asking me to stop proven treatment?

Remember

A personal testimonial is not the same as scientific evidence.

A cancer cure should be demonstrated—not merely advertised.

This information is intended for education and supportive care. It does not replace consultation, diagnosis or treatment by a qualified healthcare professional. If you have cancer, do not stop, delay or change prescribed cancer treatment because of information found on this website. Tell your cancer-care team about all medicines, Ayurvedic preparations, herbs, vitamins and supplements you use.

Reliable sources: National Cancer Institute (NCI), World Health Organization (WHO), relevant national cancer-care guidelines, and appropriate peer-reviewed evidence.
