Carctol
Carctol
Carctol (pronunciation: /ˈkɑːrktɒl/) is a herbal supplement that is often used in the field of alternative medicine. It is primarily used in the treatment of cancer, although its effectiveness is a subject of ongoing debate.
Etymology
The term "Carctol" is derived from the combination of the words "carcinoma" and "control". "Carcinoma" is a type of cancer that starts in cells that make up the skin or the tissue lining organs, such as the liver or kidneys, and "control" refers to the ability to manage or direct.
Usage
Carctol is often used as a complementary therapy in conjunction with traditional cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy. It is believed to help reduce the side effects of these treatments and improve the overall quality of life for patients. However, there is currently insufficient scientific evidence to support these claims.
