Holt Radiowave Therapy
Radiowave Therapy – The Debate
This web site is sponsored by former patients of Dr Holt. Along with the aims stated on this page, this site remains dedicated to ensuring that those with cancer remain informed about radiowave therapy, including the progress of research and results thereof.
An enormous amount of information about cancer and how to cure it is accessible through the web. One factor with this is that it is hard to know what and who to rely on. This can lead to anxiety and confusion for some, especially if they are having a treatment and it does not appear to be delivering the expected results. It is not so much a matter of trust in what you read or what your medical advisor tells you, it is more that we are inherently nervous about exactly what is best.
So what is best for you? Sadly there is no perfect treatment for cancer. There are plenty of web sites criticising conventional treatments, but the reality for many types of cancer is that conventional treatments have known statistical results, and therefore can be exactly the right option. For some however, conventional treatments can be a journey of ever diminishing returns with a pretty confronting future.
So perhaps the answer to the question of ‘what is best’ is more likely to be found in making sure that one has the knowledge necessary to participate in their treatment decisions. At least this would limit confusion and anxiety and bring to a person a sense of control over their future.
This means that you need to question your medical advisor about options, their side effects and long term outcomes, and make yourself a part of the solution. There may be options like radiowave therapy which can kill cancer (not to be confused with cure which may or may not be an outcomes), and which have no side effects and could be tried before resorting to more debilitating treatments such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
Obviously rushing off to try a treatment like radiowave therapy if a cancer is aggressive is not a good idea, because if the cancer does not respond, then valuable time is lost in getting say a more traditional treatment. However this does not mean a person should not question and seek all their options.
Everyone is different and the way we cope with circumstances varies greatly. However in general terms, it makes sense to avoid a helpless reliance on a treatment approach which you do not understand and are afraid of. Cancer is very confronting, and everyone needs to believe and have hope – in a way this defines human spirit.
This is about keeping your faith and hope intact. This in turn is dependent on how much you understand about what it is expected of you, and what you expect of yourself. One of the most vital realisations which underpins your expectations is coming to terms with possible treatment outcomes. These could be:
- Palliation – better wellbeing as cancer progresses
- Life extension – slow the cancer progress
- Life extension – stop cancer progress/maintain status quo
- Remission – an all clear, possibly temporary
- Remission – extended all clear (longer than 5 years)
The message here is to manage carefully your expectations, and make sure they are of your own making, not those set by others on your behalf... A good example of this is where persons have been advised that statistically they have only a certain period of time to live. Such talk is very confronting and often misleading when you look further into all the variables which exist with each persons disease.
In the example here, many persons live far longer than the statistics predict. These persons might have lived with much less anguish if they had more information in context with their particular circumstance – and certainly being told in the first place that they are now a victim of mortality statistics is a matter for debate.
The point here is that as much as those with cancer live day to day, there are sensible expectations, which bring faith and hope that can be set through acquiring the level of knowledge which will put a person back in control of their future.
So what is it about radiowave therapy that needs to be needs to be put into context with other traditional treatments? Firstly, radiowave therapy does not have enough statistical history available to talk about predictions of treatment for each type of cancer. It is also the case that for certain cancers, other treatments have unpredictable results. Most people know about the ever diminishing returns with some types of cancer treatment.
Radiowave therapy from Dr Holt’s experience can be applied for most, if not all cancers. For some it provides a result, yet for others, results either cannot be clearly distinguished or have not eventuated. In time (probably by the end of 2009), this information will be available. To be clear, a result can be any one of the 5 outcomes listed above.
So whilst radiowave therapy does not have the predictability of other treatments, it has some very important benefits and may be a good option for some simply because of the following:
- it can be applied for all cancers
- it is a safe treatment
- it has very low toxicity risk
- for most it has no side effects
- it can be repeated
- it can be applied before or after other treatments
An important factor, which affects many, is that Medicare does not cover the treatment. So for some to try radiowave therapy before other treatments, poses a financial question. This comes with the possibility that a cancer will not respond to the treatment. With traditional treatments, if they do not perform as expected, money is not an issue as most if not all costs are usually reimbursed. At least radiowave therapy is tax deductible.
There is one other important matter to be aware of with radiowave therapy. The radiowave Therapy Clinic, which is unique in providing Dr Holt’s treatment, puts 100% of its fees into providing the treatment and cancer research. This is because the Clinic is owned and directed by former patients of Dr Holt along with one of Dr Holt’s sons.
If you have read the information in this and other linked web sites, and radiowave therapy is a treatment of interest to you, then there is no obligation and it costs nothing to find out if it is an option. The Radiowave Therapy Clinic can provide this information (Click here).
It is to be noted that Dr Holt and the Clinic which has continued to provide his treatment, do not promote radiowave therapy over any conventional treatments. This is a matter for those with cancer to decide.
Why radiowave therapy helps one person and not for another is unknown and under research at this time. Until this treatment is regarded in conventional terms, it is unlikely Medicare will reinstate funding.
The reality is that many with cancer have lost hope and belief in what conventional medicine has, and can achieve for them. It is for these persons, and others who seek options without conventional treatment side effect, that radiowave therapy offers some hope.
Whatever treatment decision you make, it is hoped you find some information in this web site of value, and that you can retain a sense of control of your future, keeping your humour, perspective and your faith intact.
