Curing Cancer Naturally

Treating Cancer Naturally
Although it's easier to prevent cancer than to reverse it once it has taken hold, it is nevertheless reversible with holistic therapies that address imbalances of the body, mind and spirit. This is not an opinion; it is a statement of fact that's based on this author's first-hand experience.
A comprehensive approach to healing cancer includes at least the following
eight factors:
1. Proper nutrition and clean water
Proper nutrition and pure filtered water is critical to a successful anti-cancer
strategy. Diet alone can make or break the effectiveness of any cancer treatment
and is therefore the most important strategic point. Refined sugar feeds and strengthens cancer cells and should be the first substance to be eliminated. Sugar substitutes, refined flour and trans fatty acids damage the body and numerous studies link them to cancer. Dairy and all mucus-forming foods should also be avoided (1). Processed foods, carbonated beverages, coffee, alcohol, chlorine and fluoride fall into the category of foods and substances that interfere with healing and may fuel the cancer's growth. Conversely, a diet of nutrient-rich foods will enhance all levels of the healing process.
Herbs, fruits and vegetables have properties that protect against and inhibit the proliferation of cancer while strengthening, cleansing and repairing the body (2). These include green leafy vegetables, cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, etc.), sea vegetables, fruits (especially berries and dark grapes with seeds and skins), garlic, ginger, turmeric and green tea, among many others. A diet containing an abundance of organic plant foods provides layers of nutritional protection.
Concentrated fats from flax oil and olive oil may be used unheated while coconut oil
can be used for cooking. Although these healthy oils as well as fats from whole foods
such as avocados, nuts and seeds provide the essential fatty acids necessary for
oxygenation of cells (3), they should nevertheless be kept to a minimum
(approximately 15% of diet) since fat slows digestion and in large quantities may
accelerate tumor growth (4). Once the cancer is stabilized this restriction may be
relaxed.
Animal protein should be eliminated. Beans and legumes are an excellent source of
fiber and many important nutrients and may be consumed in moderation.
While whole grains also contain fiber and nutrients, there is disagreement among
experts as to their place in a healing diet. Due in part to their sugar and gluten
content, and the digestive load they place on the body already burdened by cancer,
they should be eliminated or restricted to gluten-free varieties, like quinoa, at least
until the condition is stable. Likewise, natural sweeteners such as honey and maple
syrup should also be restricted while cancer remains active. The herb stevia is a safe
sweetener.
The cancer survivor should aim for a diet that is at least 80% raw.
2. Detoxification
Effective healing requires the removal of accumulated toxins and metabolic wastes.
Being mindful to eliminate or minimize the ingestion of processed foods, substances,
and environmental toxins that inhibit the healing process is of primary importance.
It's also beneficial to begin a healing regimen with a cleanse of the kidneys, liver and
colon to remove stored toxins. There are many effective cleansing formulas and
procedures that can be found at health food stores, the internet, or through a holistic
healer. One of the most effective healing agents available is organic sulfur crystals.
3. Immune building
The immune system is our body's natural defense against harmful substances and
abnormal cell development. Any cell within the body can mutate in response to
negative stressors, but a healthy immune system will stop its growth and defend
against an uncontrollable malignancy. There are various groups of white blood cells
that possess an innate intelligence for healing.
Strategies to strengthen and build these natural
defenses to prevent or treat cancer include a diet rich in nutrient-dense foods and
supplementation. Chlorella, mushroom extracts, aloe vera, and milk thistle are just a
few of the many supplements that strengthen the body's natural defenses.
4. Oxygen therapy
The more toxic the body, the less oxygen is delivered to cells. Oxygen starvation at
the cellular level leads to disease; in fact, it's an undisputed fact that cancer cells
cease to grow when blood and tissues are sufficiently oxygenated (3). There are
many ways to oxygenate the body. First and foremost are organic sulfur crystals.
Next, a highly alkaline diet (80% raw).
5. Natural chemotherapies
There are many natural, non-toxic chemotherapies that directly or indirectly kill
malignancies. None of them are stand-alone treatments however, and should be
considered as one component of a comprehensive protocol. Amygdalin, also known
as laetrile or vitamin B17, selectively targets and destroys cancer cells while healthy
cells remain unharmed. The substance is naturally occurring in many plant foods,
including apple seeds, bitter almonds and apricot pits, and may also be obtained
through oral supplements or administered intravenously.
6. Lifestyle changes: adequate sleep, sunlight & exercise
Deep, restful sleep is an important part of an effective healing strategy. During sleep
our bodies undergo the processes of rebuilding, detoxifying and healing. The liver
works during the deepest level of sleep, the delta level, to break down and eliminate
carcinogens. Additionally, sleeping in complete darkness contributes to healthy levels
of melatonin, a hormone secreted by the pineal gland that promotes restful sleep
(6). Eating three hours before sleep, especially protein, should be avoided since it
diverts the body's healing efforts to digestion. The value of adequate sleep should
not be overlooked because without it our healing efforts will be compromised.
Other lifestyle changes include sunlight exposure and daily exercise. Research links
lack of sunlight to certain cancers and vitamin D from sunlight has been shown to
shrink tumors (7, 8). Adequate exposure during the early morning or late afternoon
hours is the safest way to obtain the restorative benefits of sunlight. The darker
one's pigmentation, the more exposure is necessary. Avoid over-exposure during the
hottest part of the day as sunburns can damage skin and promote cancer.
7. A positive attitude
Developing a positive attitude will reduce psychological stress and profoundly aid the
healing process. A cancer survivor can achieve this in part by becoming proactive
through researching alternative options. This is an empowering strategy and gives
one a firm sense of control. There are innumerable books and websites that outline
alternative cancer therapies.
8. Spiritual cleansing
Spirituality is the third aspect of the holistic paradigm and refers to our sense of
peace. reversing karmic trends and turning to God. It involves settling unresolved
conflicts, forgiving and asking forgiveness, liberating toxic emotions such as anger,
bitterness, hatred, resentment, regret, and fear, while embracing our capacity for
love, compassion and joy. Spiritual cleansing is a process that can be achieved
through various means, including mantra meditation (please feel free to contact me
for more information about this), and prayer.

These strategies should be embraced by the cancer survivor as permanent lifestyle
changes. Occasional diversions are to be expected, but one should try not to lose
focus. Although it may at times be difficult to remain faithful to the holistic protocol,
its benefits over conventional treatments are beyond measure. Furthermore, the
regimen becomes increasingly rewarding once healing begins and measurable results
are achieved. The holistic protocol creates a physical, emotional and spiritual
environment that simply will not support cancer.
