Cervical cancer is cancer of the passageway between the uterus and the vagina, also called the cervix. This type of cancer is very easy to prevent and to treat as long as it is detected early. A Pap screening can detect any cancerous or precancerous conditions and can send you off to treatment in no time. An HPV vaccine could also be your major weapon against cervical cancer.

However, invasive cervical cancer is a completely different matter. This disease is much harder to deal with and a lot more difficult to treat. Treatment ranges from standard like surgery, chemo, radiations therapy and complementary or alternative treatments like herbal therapies, natural remedies, integrative treatments and so on.



However, these last ones are not advised to replace conventional treatments an even if you take them as complementary treatment you should ask your doctor about their impact on the other parts of your therapies as they could make them less efficient.

In the case of cervical cancer, as far as complementary and integrative treatment is concerned the CAAT(Controlled Amino Acid Therapy) is the most commonly used therapy and it's a blend between medical science and dieting. Actually, CAAT is more that just a diet and more like an amino acid, carbohydrate and glucose reduction protocol. The idea is to starve the cancer cells to death. Many clinical trials are being done using this protocol and they have all reported great success.



CAAT is a a diet meant to control the amino acid intake and it is realized by replacing certain foods in the patient's daily food with scientifically supported formula of amino acid. A strictly configured food plan must accompany the the amino acid formula as not to render it useless.

CAAT can work successfully alone to a certain extent but it is best used in addition to conventional cancer treatments. With chemotherapy it can even enhance its benefits while lessening their toxic effects.

The phases of integrative therapy with CAAT and dieting includes three phases: CAAT formulation, daily food intake and the last phase consists in nutritional supplements. The CAAT formulation can be greatly enhanced though the consumption of fructose and vinegar for example. These have acetic acid properties and help block glycosis, putting an end to the energy supply for the cancer cells.

Elements of phase three can include: parsley, vitamin D, green tea extract, anti-oxidants, whey protein, grits, tocotrienols and many others. Ask your doctor for a customized CAAT formula and the proper diet and supplements for your case as each case can require different therapies.

What makes CAAT a very promising area of cancer treatment as it is a therapy that attacks and terminates cancerous cells while not disrupting the functioning of healthy, normal cells.
