If you had cancer, would you rely on science or faith in God to help you?

Both. I love your pic.

You would need a biopsy to know.  Cancer will kill you, so find out.  Caught early enough, surgery can cure a cancer.

There are many medical (and other fields) researchers with a deep faith in God.  The question is irrelevant in that their field is a scientific endeavor, and their beliefs are a matter of faith.  Both are compatible and they are not against each other as the questioner seems to imply.

Cyst - Cancer?\n\nWhat seems nowadays called cancer may not necessarily be cancer as far as life energy is concerned. True cancer has a certain form of life energy seen on Tesla-Kirlian photographs research by Thelma Moss, in the 1970s). Nine out of nine people diagnosed for cancer had no cancerous life energy!\n\nBefore trying the hard way I would try the soft ways first if I were your relative. \n\nMay be a second opinion would be advisable; may be a consultation with a physician who is familiar with natural healing (NMD, ND, homeopathic physician; phone book). A woman diagnosed with "breast cancer" had a fatty tumor (accumulation of indigestible fats from eating cheese with hydrogenated fats, transfats), which the physician confirmed after being asked specifics.\n\nFear is certainly the worst to get well.\n\nThere may be ways to allow the body to heal unmutilated.\n\nA diet change may be necessary to allow the body to become alkaline (urine and saliva). When the body is alkaline (urine and saliva at 7.5 at all times), the body is likely to heal. A roll of pH paper to measure the pH is available at health food stores (about $12). There are books on alkaline-forming foods, there are alkaline-forming products! Baking soda is not advisable, since it is far too alkaline for the body and can hurt the stomach!\n\nDinshah Color MedicineTM has been used in the past to shrink tumors. The colors have certain frequencies, one of which has dissolved tumors in the past (see http://www.biochakra.com). It is a method easy to use at home, which I found very effective. There are books on this matter, e.g. Color Medicine by Charles Klotsche (may be second hand at amazon.com, or barnesandnoble.com) or Let there be Light by Darius Dinshah. These books tell you how to use the frequencies properly. Advanced hospitals in Europe use color healing, whereas only blue is used in US hospitals so far. Yet, the coats of the surgeons are green, because this color hinders microorganisms. There must be something to color healing! Imagine when one uses a light with the colors instead of just a cloth: it is healing with the speed of light, literally! The correct frequency is important.\n\nFurthermore, homeopathy has remedies which have worked in the past when nothing else had. \n\nYet, when the harsh methods are used first, the body has a harder time to absorb the gentle ones. \n\nEven the Philippine healers have worked miracles with energy from their bare hands.\n\nMiracles have happened, there is always a good solution.\n\nWishing your father-in-law a gentle healing.\nCordially, India.Magica

You'd have to ask God.

Religion has a very important place in medicine. First God uses other people to do His work in the world. Often when a Doctor has done all he/she knows to do they will pray for help and more than one miracle has happened this way. I have seen it.\n\nAlso it brings comfort to the patient and the family in times of terminal illness. It also helps the medical personal to cope with the fact that there is a limit to what they can do.

Wow..thanks for the info. I truly believe in "natural cures" to prevent and cure cancer. \nI wish more people would at least look further into a natural approach such as eating an all organic diet and whole foods, herbs, etc. for a cure BEFORE going through all the pain and agony of traditional cancer treatments, chemo and synthetic drugs. \nDrugs made by the drug companies who could care less about finding a cure for cancer. If they did ..they would go out of business!

I believe that our bodies were creasted in a fascinating way-  that science and medicine have not even scratched the surface of the wonders and intricacies of our bodies.\nI believe that God created our bodies with the ability to heal itself.  I believe however that He gave us certain laws, dietary and otherwise that teach us how to nourish and care for our bodies so that it can heal.  When we do things contrary to God's word, we hinder our bodies ability to heal itself.  I believe in faith healing to a degree-the evidence of faith is obedience.  You can have all the prayer and belief in God and His ability to heal but refuse to lay down the sin that so easliy besets, continue eating man made garbage or filling your body with unnatural chemical substances and you are blocking oyur healing.  At the same time, you can do all the right things but not put your faith in the God who created your body, not believe that you can be healed and you hinder yourself there too.  Faith and obedience work together.  I have seen and heaed of all manner of "incurable" diseases healed - but just as a machine needs the right amont and kind of oil , certain componants and ingredients to work and function as it was designed to, God made everything that our bodies need to be nourished, grow , heal and function properly- if we refuse to feed our bodies the things that were specifically designed for it, then we will continue to be sick and just get sicker

interesting how that works huh. christians think its god healing them, they have know knowledge of the human body and how anti-bodies work, what makes us well. they use medicine and still claim god did all the work... last i recalled medicine was made by man. ud think if it WAS god, they wouldnt need to go to the doctors or the hospitals. when diagnosed with cancer their god should be able to heal it without chemotherapy?

If you mean why many scientists don't have faith in God, I think it's because science generally deals with what can be proven.  Faith in God, is simply that, faith.

my dad got liver cancer when i was born and he said he asked Christ to heal him and to give him 20 years to raise me. the terminal cancer went away 100% without chemotherapy and he died when i was 20. Praise God.

My sister had cancer, I prayed for her to be healed. About a week later her condition worsened. 2 months passed and the doctor came back to us and said that there was no sign of cancer left in her. It was like she was healed overnight.

you would have to die, but then you would have to come back to life so you could tell someone what happend. by that you could only prove to yourself if he exsists or not. Or if you could find the alein that planted life on this planet. or if you could find the missing link. but people really are too stubborn sometimes even when they are faced with the truth. I think god himself could tell a believer that he did not create man and he would still believe that he did. I hope this helps.

both are plausible. faith and science cannot disprove the other. you can try all you want to use God to explain science and use science to explain God but in the end you will find that science happens through the will of God.\n\nkeep in mind that humans have souls and animals do not. perhaps our souls (something not bound by the laws of science) are the image of God while our physical appearances are only our animalistic aspect. \n\nwe are God's creation, but also made in their image.

sure, but the correct answer depends of what type and stage of cancer. For some types of cancer only excision (surgery) is curative. Some types require both surgery and chemo. Others require a bone marrow transplant but no radiation. Relatively few cancers are treated only with radiation. You are asking a question with variable answers.

depends on the type of c.a. I've met , and served, many people with cancer. Thier children live more careful, don't injest poisons- tobacco, alcohol etc. , they watch what chemicals they are exposed to closer , they exercise more faithfully, eat better,love with more gusto, and usually Pray harder after experiencing a death or near death from cancer.. Genetics is only a small part it. How you live makes more difference-- but do not be decieved, it can sneak in so many ways that medicine does not have a clue, really, how to prevent cancer. Sometimes it seems like predestination, no known cause, no familial history, no known exposure to hi risk factors, then boom; your dead... flip the coin

I'm not sure of 3 ways to get it but, as someone living with Cancer, I can assure you that there is no cure.  Just things that work for some people and not for others to varying degrees.
