Complementary therapies do not claim to be a cure for cancers. However, some may find treatment helpful, and there may be some evidence that certain treatments reduce or delay the spread of cancer. One such, which may specifically help prostate cancer is Sacro-cranial therapy, which uses very light pressure to evaluate ease of motion and rhythm within the cranio-sacral system and to balance it. It is thought that this process can activate the body's natural corrective healing mechanisms. It is approved at the Royal Surrey Hospital, Guildford for cancer patients.
Photodynamic Therapy uses a light-sensitive drug taken orally, and laser light to
selectively reduce prostate and other cancers, even in their advanced stages. "Next generation" photodynamic therapy is now being used, and has been shown
to considerably reduce prostate cancers and improve urine flow. The treatment
may be repeated.
