Do Jehovah's Witnesses believe in chemotherapy?

Answer 1

Yes we take care of ourselves with reasonable medical treatments. Luke The Bible writer of Acts of the Apostles was a Physician! He wrote under inspiration as stated:

(Acts 15:28, 29) "28 For the holy spirit and we ourselves have favored adding no further burden to you except these necessary things: 29 to keep abstaining from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from what is strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you carefully keep yourselves from these things, you will prosper. Good health to you!""

Answer 2

Jehovah's Witnesses, as an organization, do not object to chemotherapy. It would be a personal decision made by a member of the religion whether or not to undergo it. The only time their would be an objection, is if it included any transfer of blood from one person to another as they feel that violates the Bible's view on blood.

Answer 3

Yes there is no bible prohibition that would effect the acceptance of chemotherapy.

Answer 4

The decision to have radiation or chemotherapy is a personal choice amongst Jehovah's Witnesses. There are no restrictions on utilizing this type of medicine in cancer treatment.
