(NaturalNews) Researchers from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) recently began treating cancer in a "new" way by inducing the immune system to attack cancer tumors -- a method natural health advocates say is nothing new, and when induced naturally, has long been the most effective cancer treatment available.

National Cancer Institute researcher Dr. Steven Rosenberg recently told CNN that the "new" treatment method uses viruses to introduce new genes into certain cells in the body to turn them into cancer-fighting cells. Thus far, the method has proven effective in two out of 15 patients, but many in the field of natural medicine say the human body is capable of using its own immune system to fight cancer if it is not hampered by disease-causing foods and lifestyles.

Consumer advocate Mike Adams calls the NIH method "ridiculous" and says all humans naturally use their immune systems to fight off cancer, without needing to genetically engineer the body's cells to do so.

Adams says the NIH treatment -- which has been dubbed "promising" and will likely have substantial amounts of money invested in its research -- is indicative of a larger problem plaguing conventional disease treatments. Disease researchers seem to be turning to increasingly absurd methods to understand and treat ailments, Adams says, when they should be studying safe, natural treatments.

For example, U.S. biologists have recently teamed up with Sony in an effort to use the new PS3 gaming system to examine how the shape of proteins -- considered critical to biological functioning -- affects diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer's and Huntington's disease.

Adams says most diseases can be treated or even reversed by altering diet and exercise patterns, and supplementing with powerful natural herbs and superfoods. Much of the mainstream medical research being conducted today is obtuse and unlikely to prove helpful in disease treatment, Adams says.
