Aim: To investigate the level of awareness and the reasons behind their knowledge that one has towards conventional and holistic cancer treatments.
Objective:
● Survey 50 individuals preferably female as this study focuses on cancer
● Provide pros and cons of both sides of treatment
● Provide and listen to possible reasons of lack of knowledge if applicable
● Ask for the individuals personal preference
Study Synopsis:
Conventional cancer treatment also known as Surgery, Radiation, and Chemotherapy treatment has been the leading solution people tend to use since the 1970’s to treat their cancers. The lack of awareness individuals have towards alternative and/or holistic treatments are slim to none. In comparison to Conventional treatment targeting just the effective area, Holistic treatments involves little to no toxins and focuses on treating the body as a whole from the inside and out. This includes treating a person's diet, emotions, environmental and spiritual well-being; as this is also just as important as treating their physical condition.
The lack of individuals awareness of holistic treatment is extremely limited due to reasons that vary from; misinformation, lack of publicity, not being recommended from doctors, and most importantly the lack of funding and sponsorship from government and pharmaceutical companies. This study is to see the level of awareness between conventional and holistic cancer treatments within the population.
