Simple Ways to Help Your Body Overcome Cancer

Once upon a time many years ago diseases like cancer were mostly unheard of. There was a time when our environment was that of balance, where the things we took into our bodies didn't cause us the harm as they do today. Practically everything we put into our bodies today is full of environmental toxins and pollutants. These toxins are causing our bodies to develop diseases like Cancer and a whole host of other problems for us. We are in a constant battle with pollution and it affects every single person in this world, to one extent or another. There is no avoiding it, but there is an elegant and even simple way to battle this intrusive and invisible killer.

Consider this; back in the 1900's when we started the use of chemical fertilizers in farming is when people started to have real problems with the diagnoses of cancer. In 1900, 41,000 Americans died of Cancer, a death rate of about 64 people per 100,000 Americans. In 1994 this number nearly tripled where over 1,250,000 people in America were diagnosed with cancer and 547,000 of those would die from this plague by 1995. It is now 2011 and the rate is now 1 in every 3 people with cancer will die. Why have these numbers raised so much in the years that have passed? It is because the environment that we have made ourselves is now killing us all, slowly over time and it is now unavoidable no matter where you live.

It is a true fact that environmental pollution is traveling our jet stream and rains its poisonous rain down on us all no matter where we live. The battle we wage against environmental pollution is failing. We must look within to battle this problem instead of facing it from the outside, where environmentalists are failing in their effort to clean up our world. The problem is the world isn't on their side, so unfortunately to us it seems we are losing this battle. Fortunately for us there is a solution to aid our bodies in the removal of environmental pollutants from our bodies and promote balance back into our lives. Right now the balance that should be in our world is nonexistent, and disease and illness are a direct result of our environmental contamination.

We must aid our bodies in the removal of environmental pollution because what your body is unable to remove naturally, it is forced to absorb into tissues and organs. Overtime these toxins causes the balance in your body to shift from alkaline to acidic, where diseases like cancer can take over and your battle to stay alive begins. There is no cure in this world other than your own body, your body is the only thing that can cure and heal. No doctor, no drug and no natural remedy can cure, only your body has that ability. Once you help your body in removing these pollutants, then and only then can it begin to heal itself and overcome many different types of diseases. Environmental pollution is the root cause of 95% of the problems we face today. So, why not take a chance, remove them and see your body's ability to heal itself, it is absolutely amazing what your body is capable of.

We are Brothers committed to helping people of all ages remove and eliminate their toxic burden which can be a protective measure against disease and illness.

Cancer Prevention And Green Tea

Most of us are scared stiff of developing cancer. That is quite understandable - who wants to spend a couple of years undergoing chemotherapy only to die a couple of years later? Or even if you recover it is a couple of years out of your life that have been worrying and grueling. And not merely for the patient but for friends and family too.

So, individuals do everything they can to reduce the risks of developing cancer. Most of us do not think we know how to do this, others are not certain, but they have heard or read something that sounds 'about correct' and others are convinced that they know how to avoid developing cancer.

My wife is certain that I may get cancer from eating burnt toast and others are convinced that they can stave off cancer by saturating their body with green tea. It has frequently been pointed out and for decades as well, that countries where green tea is the norm, say the Far East, have a much lower incidence of cancer than we do in the West.

And this is probably a fact at the moment. But why is it true? I live in Asia and diabetes is the number one killer near me. Do Asians not get cancer as much as we do because they drink green tea or for other reasons?

In fact, where I live in Northern Thailand, I have never seen anyone drink tea or coffee or accept a cup off me, except my wife. Villagers here drink water or alcohol, depending on the time of day. Kids love Cola or Sprite or whatever because they watch as well much TV, but drink a lot of water.

It is stated that green tea is an anti-oxidant and it is alleged that anti-oxidants help eliminate free radicals which can cause cancer. If this is true, then the claims for green tea are perhaps more believable.

However, the claims are so all-encompassing that it makes me sceptical. I am reading a report just now that claims that green tea will prevent the growth of cancerous cells in the: "... aesophagus, bladder, on the skin, in the ovaries, the pancreas and the prostate".

That is a very tall order indeed.

The difficulty for me with all these claims is that they are not substantiated - there are no references that you can follow that do not lead to companies selling green tea. This is a difficulty.

Some will say that the government or the pharmaceutical companies are suppressing the knowledge because they want to sell more expensive drugs - and this might be true - grist to the mill for conspiracy theorists and retailers of Chinese tea.

Now that we appear to be entering into a 'new era', a more sceptical and more progressive era (thanks a great deal to the World Wide Web), couldn't someone do some investigation on green tea and Acai berries and all the rest of the stuff you read about in your junk emails and put an end once and for all to the false dreams, if that is what they are, that we are being sold every day by unscrupulous advertisers looking for a quick dollar?

Curing Cancer Naturally, A Much Better Way

While fighting cancer is not an easy task, millions of people worldwide have done it successfully. Fighting cancer is easier if you are mentally prepared and fully educated on the subject. We wrongly presume that cancer cells must be removed from the body by our three ways of treating the disease but there are other ways to treat cancer rather than just accepting surgery, radiation or chemotherapy. It's because our bodies have a natural inherent capacity to heal themselves when you apply the right conditions.

To fight cancer naturally it is important to realize that the body has a protective defence system which is called the immune system which can actively seek out and destroy cancer cells. This system requires good nutrition and other lifestyle changes to achieve this. It is because this system had been weakened by the way we now live and that has allowed cancer cells to take hold and multiply. So it's common sense to make these simple lifestyle changes and strengthen the immune system to fight the cancer?

It has long been known that all cancers, no matter where they appear in the body are related to the food we choose to eat and the food we don't eat. That is, there are 2 types of food, those that cause cancer cells to grow and those foods that cause cancer cells to die. By making simple changes to the food you eat you are dealing with the reason why cancer first grew which makes much more sense instead of just removing growths. By just remove the cancerous growths the body will only make more cancer again but somewhere else in the body.

Our mainstream treatments of radiation and chemotherapy depress your natural immune system, the very mechanism that fights off all diseases. When you get these treatments, you are killing your body's natural ability to fight cancer. Don't ever forget that. Care, not treatment is the answer. Facilitating the God given healing capacity that all of us have is the key. Improving the diet, exercise and lifestyle are basic.

Curing cancer naturally means consuming live food which is food in its natural state instead of processed food. Any food item that's been processed has lost its nutritional value and that is just one of the reasons why there is so much cancer today. The quality of food has deteriorated due to the way it's been refined and processed so if people are eating mainly processed foods our bodies are nutritional deprived.

Our bodies were built to be physically active and that is because our immune system needs muscular activity to function properly. To fight cancer naturally we need a healthy immune system and one way to help achieve that is with exercise. It is important.

Other contributing factors to cancer are the many chemicals we surround ourselves with and believe they are safe for us to use. Many of these chemicals are in the homes we live in as they are in personal care products which we apply directly to the skin.

The most powerful weapon you have to become cancer free is the food you choose to eat everyday. Curing cancer naturally, it does work for those that can make the necessary changes.

There Is a Love Story - How to Care For a Spouse With Cancer

After five years of being sweethearts, Joel and May eventually tie the knot. Their love story would have been a typical event of common lovers, except that May was diagnosed with malignant tumor clinically a diagnosis of Cervical Cancer stage IV. Joel already knew of this disease even before they got married. But he loved her too much to even think twice of marrying her. During their honeymoon, Joel made love to her only once and after that she was hurried to the nearest hospital. The doctor explained to Joel that due to the sensitivity of her disease and her fragile stage he could not continue a physical contact with May. Every day of their married life, Joel kept vigil at her side. He cooked meals, washes their clothes, feed and work at the same time to provide the need of her wife. Every one on Joel's side of family was adamant with his actions. They thought that Joel had lost his mind and will waste years of his life caring and loving a sickly woman who could not reciprocate his needs as a husband. And after ten months of being married and 5 years and 10 months of being together, May took her last breath beside her loving husband. During the funeral mass, Joel expresses his love and happiness during the short period of being married to a woman who now laid to rest.

He told the gathering family and friends at the chapel, "Every one of you may think that I have wasted my 10 months of being with a woman who has no strength to cook dinner for me, or to even iron the clothes I will wear for office. You may have thought also that I'm a person who just gives charity that's why I married her. I have to say, all of these are wrong. And if you are hearing my words now babe, I want to whisper the same words all over again. The words I vowed and promise to you when I ask for your hands. I will care for you, I shall provide all the things you needed and want. I will be the loving husband you expect me to... And I have to say sorry for the last time. I'm sorry because I wasn't able to do all these... I'm sorry because I could not take the pain you are feeling when your cancer strikes... I'm sorry because I could only hold your hands and watch you feel the excruciating pain... I'm sorry because I'm only human and I could not provide longer life for you... And I'm sorry because I love you too much to give you up...

Oftentimes we measure our love for the person through the things or needs that we want reciprocated. We forgot the real meaning of love and the real joy from loving. For ten months of being with the woman he love, Joel did not see the odd situation. He did not intentionally fail to see the difficulty of his situation. What he saw is the feeling of love with a woman who has to go through a physical pain. And what he felt is the joy of giving up his life to be with a woman he loves. In being selfless, Joel discovers the real joy of loving. And he confesses to the people at the chapel that even in death he sees May as beautiful as the day he married her to the same chapel she now laid to rest.

Dealing With Cancer Through Homeopathy

INTRODUCTION:

Cancer has reached almost every household in today's era of lack of exercise, healthy food habits, addictions, stress and moral famine. The overall treatment options available in the medical 'market' outside provide pain more than the relief. Various kinds of surgeries, radiations and newer chemotherapy drugs are posing threat to the 'quality of life' of an individual, in their own ways and methods. Apart from the treatment options, the patient is getting bogged down by the battery of investigations and imaging requisitions, often without assessing the case clinically. The pain of cancer has thus extended, from mere physical or emotional sphere, to moral and financial downfall. The patient is getting exhausted and emptied in all sense, and what s/he gets in return? Nothing but a different form of suffering. Is there anything that we as homeopaths can offer?

Most of the patients we meet at our clinics are already in an advanced stage of cancer, or have already undergone a couple of cycles of chemotherapy for the respective malignancy. They pose three significant questions to a homeopath:

1. Do you offer anything for cancer, and if yes, what is its scope?

2. Is it safe to take homeopathy simultaneously with chemotherapy? Won't that affect the efficacy of either of them?

3. Can you prescribe anything on the preventive basis for the patient to avoid the recurrence or to the rest of the family?

We will try to discuss all such issues...

I have heard a lot of claims by the eminent homeopaths of my city to CURE the cancer, but I think let's not cheat patients and homeopathy. I do not doubt the efficacy of homeopathy, but if we make such claims without statistically and objectively proving it, the medical faculty will obviously accuse us for mis-guiding the patients, in turn diluting the faith of the public towards our system.

Apart from its effect against the malignant growth, I have seen homeopathy doing wonders by -

1. Dealing with the mental trauma that the cancer diagnosis causes, with further depression and hopeless mental state.

2. Reducing the side-effects of chemotherapy, especially in cases of CINV (chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting).

3. Relieving the pains in the terminal cancer cases.

Conclusion:

Homeopathy has much to offer in cases of cancer, apart from treating the malignant growth. A patient or his family would often inquire about the role we as homeopaths can play in the overall treatment process; and we need to be clear within ourselves about our scope.

CANCER - Its Cause, Prevention and Treatment

I offer a Nature Cure interpretation of the disease commonly called Cancer.

Cancer is basically a reaction to the presence of a highly irritant substance or influence known as a carcinogen - (Cancer producer).

The persistent presence (internally or externally) of a carcinogen may cause cancer.

One of the generally unsuspected irritants is CARBON.

Any substance that has been carbonized by excessive heating, burning, roasting or toasting may become carcinogenic.

The main internal sources of carbon are toasted bread or biscuits, grilled foods, coffee, tea, cocoa, caramel, so-called "health foods" and beverages, toasted nuts, and tobacco smoke.

When absorbed externally almost any strongly acid or strongly alkaline substance can, when ingested by a highly toxemic organism, be irritant enough to be carcinogenic.

These substances may be gases or dust absorbed by respiration through the lungs or fluids absorbed by or through the digestive system or by contact with the skin.

The causes of cancer being known, the prevention of this complaint becomes self-evident.

Ingestion or contact with carcinogenic irritants should be avoided.

Prevention of cancer is achieved by simply not causing it.

If cancer has been developed the rational treatment is also evident.

The known causes should be removed or significantly reduced.

The toxic material that has initiated a cancerous process should be eliminated per medium of the lungs, skin and kidneys as quickly as possible.

Vigorous physical exercise accompanied by rhythmic diaphragmatic breathing, hydrotherapy such as: steam baths and full body packs, cold compresses, sitz baths, spinal baths to be employed as indicated.

A competent naturopath will know when and how to apply water as needed.

The diet should consist of unstimulating, highly alkaline and raw natural foods.

All foodless foods should be avoided.

All of the body's normal biological requirements are to be provided.

Here again, the competent naturopath will know what is needed.

This comprises a natural preparatory treatment.

When the inevitable Healing Crisis develops, the patient should be fasted until the organism indicates that the fast is to be terminated.

Fasting should be undertaken under the expert supervision of a competent naturopath.

If the sick organism possesses sufficient latent vitality - this program will provide the ideal conditions for it to make the supreme effort necessary to enable it to overcome the cancerous condition.

It must be understood that while every disease may be successfully treated, given favorable conditions, it remains true that not all patients will necessarily recover. "All disease may be cured, but not every patient".

What You Should Know About Kidney Cancer Symptoms

Kidney cancer symptoms are often hard to detect. The body will generally give few concrete signals during the first stages of this type of cancer. Because of this, without regular check-ups from your physician this horrific and debilitating disease is often impossible to detect.

One of the earliest warning signals that can be detected is that of discolored urine or urine that has a high blood count. Because numerous other issues such as kidney stones and infection can cause blood to be present in the urine it is necessary for further tests to be ran before a diagnosis can be made. When blood is present in the urine however, it is generally a good idea to allow the doctor to run further tests. In addition to this development, it is also common for people in the earliest stages to suffer from excessive sweating and frequent bouts with anemia.

There are several signs of the disease when it enters the later, or more aggressive, stages. Individuals that may notice larger amounts of blood in the urine. This can cause the urine to appear pinkish, bright red or even dark brown.

It is also common that the individual in the late stages of this disease will experience chronic and persistent back pain. This is usually centered around just below the ribs. This however, should not be confused with other more moderate forms of back pain as this pain will typically not respond to efforts to medicate or reduce the soreness.

Many people will also begin to suffer from weight loss as well. During this period the individual will be plagued by chronic fatigue and may have intermittent fevers. These however, are all signs that are all indicative of the late stages of kidney cancers. Regular, preventative health care can help lend to early detection and thus, early treatment.
