There is a reason that mainstream medicine is not very effective at treating Cachexia, they do not understand the underlying cause. Cachexia needs an alternative treatment that helps reverse the condition, while at the same time restoring health. Cachexia is an inflammatory response to injury, tumor secretions, an imbalance in the patients internal environment.

This condition is seen in heart failure patients, anorexics, and pancreatic cancer patients. Patrick Swayze is a prime example. It can occur less often with other tumors. The problem is in mainstream medical thinking or lack of it. Unless they are thinking, but the thoughts are about profits, which means there were funds spend on the research, development, in anticipation of a financial payoff.

Western medicine lacks an understanding of the healing powers of the human body when it’s given the right tools. Oncologists want to see the patient eat as many calories as possible. Most do not see a difference from one calorie to another. Whatever the source, which can include everything form milk shakes, ice cream, mayonnaise, Omega 6 fats found in gain fed beef along with some hormones and antibiotics, processed food, and even sugary confectionery treats, soda included.

The Cachexia Patient is suffering from malnutrition, and this can occur with a high caloric diet. Most of the obese and overweight population are suffering from malnutrition. It is known that malnutrition leads to a depressed immune system and more infections. Malnutrition goes unrecognized in hospitals, look at the food they serve to patients. That alone should be a hint that they do not know the ramifications of a poor diet. Hospital food and their nutritional drips may contain corn syrup solids, maltodextrin dextrose, canola oil, artificial flavor and color along with the chemical version of vitamins.

Hospitals are known for spreading some pretty nasty infections. So far it is blamed on many things, while they all need to be addressed, they some how left out nutrition status of the patient and staff. Cachexia needs an alternative treatment, that is based on healing the person through sound nutritional based therapy.
