Here is how to heal cancer according to a radical new theory: Keep it alive.

Conventional chemotherapy has been, traditionally, destructive on the body and the practice of hitting the body with high level doses has had sickening consequences.

It was then that researchers in the United States had an idea.  What if they were to try another technique?  Instead of blasting the body with chemo, doing as much damage as they can, what if they can mediate the dosage and microdose?

The study produced interesting results.  Using what is being called adaptive therapy, they were able to administer low doses of chemicals over a broad period of time and stabilize the growth of tumors.  Eventually, in the majority of animals being treated, chemicals were able to be withdrawn.

The other two groups in the study received standard chemo dosage and adaptive therapy with skipped dosages.  In both groups, the cancer returned when the chemo was missed or ended.

When large numbers of cancer cells are destroyed with heavy chemo, the remaining cells are usually the strongest. They can multiply and become drug resistant.  Robert Gatenby, one of the lead researchers exploding adaptive therapy notes the power of not killing "the maximum number of tumor cells possible, but the fewest necessary" in controlling them.
