Four basics to help prevent and treat cancer
February 14th, 2008 | by askadmin |Following are four things you can do to help prevent cancer.
- Maintain a healthy diet
- Eliminate your body of toxins
- Keep your body oxygenated
- Build a strong immune system
I neglected all four of the above and developed Stage 4 cancer.
Yes, I endured the conventional treatment; chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation. Could I have skipped the traditional treatment procedures and beat the cancer by just implementing the above four disciplines? It’s possible!
Much research has been done, and many successes have been documented, using the holistic approach to fighting cancer. The body does respond positively with the introduction of these four disciplines.
Let’s face it, there isn’t any cancer treatment, traditional, holistic, alternative, or otherwise, that comes with an unconditional guarantee. One thing I do know is that traditional treatments devastate the body while alternative treatments bolster the body and concentrate on its healing requirements.
1. Maintain a healthy diet
A healthy diet is essential to cancer treatment. Your diet can enhance or destroy the usefulness of any cancer treatment. You need to know which foods interfere with the treatment and actually feed the cancer cells. You need to know which foods assist in the healing process.
Some foods such as refined sugar, feeds and strengthens cancer cells. They should be eliminated from your diet. Sugar substitutes may not be any better. Trans fatty acids damage the body and numerous studies link them to cancer. Many carbonated beverages, coffee and alcohol may interfere with healing and fuel the cancer’s growth.
On the other hand, a diet of nutrient-rich foods will enhance all levels of the healing process.
Herbs, fruits and vegetables have ingredients that defend against the spread of cancer while strengthening, cleansing and repairing the body. These include green leafy vegetables, ginger and green tea.
2. Eliminate your body of toxins
Effective cancer prevention and healing necessitates the elimination of accumulated toxins. You need to eliminate or at least minimize the intake of processed foods and environmental toxins. It’s also recommended to begin the healing process with a complete cleansing of the kidneys, liver and colon to remove stored toxins. There are many effective products that can be found at health food stores, the internet, or through a holistic healer.
Other ways to reduce toxins include daily stretching. This releases acids from body tissues. Perspiring in a sauna or hot shower will also help purge toxins through the skin.
There are other ways to rid the body of toxins. Many of them I do not recommend. I’m talking about things like coffee enemas. Yes, this is said to prevent the re-absorption of toxins, and to cleanse the blood and liver. Toxic build-up can also be released through fasting, which helps to heal and rejuvenate the body. I suggest you talk with a health care professional before experimenting with these procedures.
I personally recommend a safer and more effective means of eliminating toxins. Grape Seed Extract has been exhaustively studied by some of the most prestigious medical facilities around the world. The results are no less than astounding. In the research of Dr. Jacques Masquelier, Dr. Richard Passwater, Dr. Morton Walker, the Pasteur & Huntington Institutes, Grape Seed Extract has been proven to be an exceptional leader in the fight against free radical (cell-damaging) activity in human physiology.
3. Keep your body oxygenated
The scarcity of oxygen at the cellular level leads to disease. It’s an unquestionable fact that cancer cells cease to grow when blood and tissues are sufficiently oxygenated. There are many ways to oxygenate the body, including exercise, deep breathing, and adequate consumption of pure water.
It is a simple and indisputable fact – oxygen is necessary to sustain life. Clinical studies show that a human being can live for days without water, and weeks without food – but without Oxygen, biological death begins to occur within three minutes. Oxygen is the miraculous element that permits life to exist and flourish on earth!
While our bodies require many nutrients on a daily basis, Oxygen is the single most important substance taken into the body. Oxygen is a necessary component in every chemical reaction important to human physiology. Oxygen nourishes the cells, it provides the energy needed to metabolize carbohydrates, it allows chemical transport, breaks down waste products and toxins, regulates the pH of body chemistry, drives the desire to breathe, and fights hostile organisms.
According to experts the oxygen levels of our atmosphere have dropped by as much as 50% over the past 500 years. We no longer have the atmosphere that we were created for, so we cannot get enough oxygen to fulfill our body’s needs by breathing alone.
O2 Basic Essential is the newest generation of this super-oxygenation technology. This wonderful product is ideal for both rehydration, and improving one’s sense of overall wellness.
4. Build a strong immune system
The immune system is our body’s natural defense against harmful substances and abnormal cell development.
Two of the best ingredients to build a strong immune system are garlic and ginger. Garlic has been used as a medicine and health-promoter for 5,000 years.
Ginger has a long history of healing attributes and strengthening the immune system. Ginger is probably one of the world’s favorite medicines. It is perhaps the best herb for digestion. It alleviates High Blood Pressure, stimulates circulation and relaxes the muscles surrounding blood vessels, facilitating the flow of blood throughout the body.
