What a lovely thought! I don't know that one can truly answer this question, because if anybody knew for sure, no one would die from cancer anymore.
However, there are some unexpected miracles out there, and some have seen success in the fight against cancer with new technologies and creative diets. This didn't work for my stepdad, who is dying as I write this, nor another relative, who is in the hospital right now fighting myeloma, but others are living testaments to defying -- or supplementing -- traditional treatments.
One example, if you feel like reading, is Dr. Gerald Smith, who wrote "A Survivor's Guide to Reversing Cancer:A Journey from Cancer to Cure." Following is most of a 2004 review of that book by Andrew Marino in "Frontier Perspectives." To download a .pdf version of this article, see the link below.
"Reversing Cancer was written theyear after the author and his wife learned that she had metastatic ovarian cancer. Following surgical treatment for her disease, they decided to explore complementary-alternative medicine (CAM) as a supplement to orthodox medical treatment (OMT).
Dr. Smith, an orthodontist, already had long experience with CAM principles, as well as an open mind toward the role of environmental factors, such as heavy metals (some of which results from the dental use of mercury) in causing cancer. The book, however, goes well beyond the author's personal experiences and systematically treats the broadest range of topics that one is likely toencounter in a book dealing with CAM.
The topics covered include: “the real cause of cancer” (said to be oxygen deficiency), the role of heavy metals and parasites in causing cancer, various CAM remedies for treating cancer or otherwise promoting health, and methods for detoxifying the body.
A discussion of the psychological component of cancer is also included. Dr. Smith writes from the point of view of someone who has investigated these areas and is recommending them to the reader for consideration as part of an overall plan to avoid or recover from cancer.There is an extensive list of references at the end of most chapters, so the interested reader can go to the source of the summarized information.
Unfortunately,the references are not directly keyed to the points in the chapters, so it is often difficult to identify the reference that supports a particular point.There is much ancient wisdom and scientific evidence to support the merit of trying to defend against cancer and its consequences by means of various holistic strategies.
Such approaches allow for improved immune function, and they relieve the tax on the body's recuperative powers caused by stressors in the environment, thereby allowing the body to cope more effectively.
Every human being has a finite healing and adaptive capacity. If either the capacity is increased or the demands made by various environmental stressors are decreased, then the overall result is an increase in well-being. This bedrock principle permeates every chapter.
The book has something to offer the investigator as well as the patient. Both OMT and CAM must be based onscientific evidence. There should be data showing that a given procedure or therapy confers an advantage over a placebo. Dr. Smith discusses many examples of that kind of evidence, but he also includes the concepts and approaches of the old-time physician, the person who thoroughly examined his patients and listened carefully to their complaints.
The paradigm Dr.Smith presents is a combination of the two approaches, integrated in such a way as to be helpful to the person fighting cancer, and the person seeking to avoid such a fight. Nothing in the book is antagonistic to any of the standard surgical, chemical, or radiation-based forms of therapy for cancer.
It's not clear exactly to what "reversing cancer" refers. One might describe the breast cancer treatment as the removal of cancer cells (by surgery and radiation), but there is no evidence that any "reversal" took place in the sense that cancer cells became normal. The same comments apply to her ovarian cancer. Finally, the book is really not a 'journey' but rather a discussion of reasonable and practical CAM techniques.The author's advice can probably be summed up as follows:
Be skeptical about what you are told by medical experts — not antagonistic, but also not someone who blindly accepts what a physician says. Do your own research, and find out what is available. Finally, focus on your lifestyle, including food intake, exercise, and spirituality. It's hard to argue against that kind of advice."
Hope this helps,

I wish I knew a quick fix to give you. I've been trying with a combination of various chemotherapy drugs, and complementing with supplements with the chemo pharmacist's approval, for a year and a half. While the cancer isn't reversing, it is staying pretty much under control, and I'm sure the supplements I've been adding have given me a better quality of life.
There are so many variations of cancer, even one type of cancer may have over 25 variations. This makes it so hard to find what works, because what works for one may not for another.
Hopefully, with all the current clinical trials that are showing promise, more treatments will become available soon. And with the gene mapping, a cure for some cancers are sure to follow.
Hang in there everyone.

The answer has been found in preventing it in the first place. U.S. law 103-417 has shown that over 20,000 studies conclude we can prevent disease such as cancer, heart disease and osteoporosis, 2 of the 3 biggies, by proper healthful diets. Here is a link to the FDA's website and law http://www.fda.gov/opacom/laws/dshea.html
The problem is, who's going to advertise it? Not the pharmaceutical industry as that will put them out of business. Not the disease associations, Cancer Inst. Diabetes Assoc... as that will put them out of business. Of course we keep supporting them because we want "the cure". Diabetes magazine, a national publication, wrote an article how drug companies are not looking to create cures, they are looking for more ways to treat symptoms. In fact, they are looking forward to the next block buster disease. Diabetes has lancetes, glucose monitors, shoes, socks, insulins, boots, several drugs for circulation, glucose monitoring... and more. The are waiting for a similar disease to create more products and profits. This is why I don't support the "Race for the Cure" or any other like organization.
We all know that eating properly is key but, did you know the FDA raised the servings amount of fruits and vegetables to 9-11 servings everyday? Why? Because our foods do not have the nutritional value they had 50 years ago and we need to eat more to get the same previous value. Who even eats the 3-5? That is why we need to supplement our diets with whole foods nutrition. That is also why I became a wellness consultant and although I know the task ahead of me is daunting, the reward will be great. I could sure use your help in spreading the word. Thanks.

In our life’s we see people go through alot of pain, where they did not seem to really know where there going, so we searched for answers in health, relationships, and long life success.

My research does come from years of looking into the health field and I will say there our many others like Kevin Trudeau that have not come out of the closet maybe because of fear? Here are a few websites for you to look at. I will not give the websites out here but what I will do is give the name of the website and you can go to a search engine and find them right on top.
