VITAMINS, MINERALS, HERBS FOR CANCER
Cancer is characterized
by the uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells. The link between
nutrition and cancer is strong. It is estimated that 70% of all cancers are diet
related, second only to tobacco as the leading cause of cancer. Many food
substances such as nitrates and excess fat act as mutagens or promoters of
cancer. However, diets low in fat and alcohol and high in fiber, vitamin A,
vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium, and several other nutrients can inhibit the
initiation and promotion of certain cancers. Some nutrients like beta-carotene
can also help relieve some side effects of cancer treatment.

Breast Cancer Prescription Medications
Tamoxifen / Nolvadex
Tamoxifen is used for the treatment of invasive breast cancer, the most common type of breast cancer, following surgery and/or radiation and for preventing invasive breast cancer in women at high risk for developing it. Tamoxifen also is used for the treatment of women following surgery and radiation for a less common type of breast cancer called ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS or intraductal carcinoma). Women who have had ductal carcinoma in situ are at high risk for developing invasive breast cancer at a later date, and tamoxifen prevents development of the invasive cancer in almost half of the women during the first five years of treatment. Occasionally, tamoxifen is used to stimulate ovulation. |
Six Possible Ways to Prevent or Fight Cancer
By David Snape
You may have recently read that due to advances in the treatment of heart disease, cancer has become the number one
killer in North America. This is interesting news.
You might want to know how you can possibly prevent and fight cancer, but if you do have or even think you have
cancer or any other health condition, be sure to consult
your primary care physician for proper diagnoses and treatment. This article is for information purposes only.
Some steps that may help you to fight or prevent cancer.
1.Juicing is a powerful way to find health, partly because
fresh juice has powerful antioxidants but also because juices contain loads of
phytochemicals.
All of the plant chemicals have NOT been isolated but just
remember that most of today's drugs are synthetic imitations
of naturally occurring plant chemicals. There is speculation that these phytochemicals work better in the
combinations that nature has produced them in.
Fresh fruit juice provides those phytochemicals to the body.
In order to make fresh juice, consider getting a juicer or a
A Vitamix blender.
It is a lot easier to get the health benefits of drinking a
pound of carrots rather than trying to eat a pound. A pound
of carrots basically makes less than a full cup of juice.
Just think about how many powerful phytochemicals you can
get into your body this way.
And cabbage juice has been rumored to lower the risk of cancer. It doesn't taste great, but so what? This may be
due to a chemical that rapidly disappears after the cabbage
becomes juice, so you must drink it quickly.
Vitamin U which comes from cabbage juice has been very useful to people with ulcers.
2. Antioxidants can reduce the amount of free radicals in
the body. Many scientists consider that the actions of free
radicals in your body may lead to cancer. Some excellent
antioxidants include vitamins A, C and E, Alpha Lipoic Acid
and Coenzyme Q-10 (available at health food stores or online)
3. Your mental state is important, grab a copy of Bernie
Siegel's book, 'Love, Medicine and Miracles'. This book talks about patients who went into remission. Bernie
believes their remissions were due to changes in their mental states. basically, by becoming more loving towards
others they may have affected a change in their bodies.
4. Use Essiac Tea - which is a special blend of herbs that
was used by Indians in Canada. A Canadian nurse used it to
treat many cancer patients. This combination of herbs includes Turkish Rhubarb, Sheep Sorrel, Burdock Root and
Slippery Elm Bark.
5. Read the book 'How to Fight Cancer and Win' -
http://tobeinformed.com/o/fightcancer.php
This book remains
popular despite the fact that it was written over a decade
ago. The author used to work for a pharmaceutical company in
Germany. He traveled far to find the information he shares
in this book.
6. Get the right kind of exercise. The Falun Dafa exercises
are perfect for frail, physically unfit people as well as
those who are in great shape. Ask your doctor before changing your level of physical activity.

350 Existing Natural and Alternative Cancer
Treatments
Unbelievable as it may seem, 18 months of research by a blue-ribbon research team shows there are over 350 existing natural and alternative cancer treatments. People have used these gentle and non-toxic treatments to make themselves cancer-free. They have used them instead of, or alongside, or after conventional treatments with all their harmful side-effects have failed.
What's more, thousands of people are using them RIGHT NOW and beating their cancer!
These findings are described in Natural Cancer Treatments. They include treatments like:
The 3 week curing program with a reported 95% success rate.
The Ph.D. biochemist who developed the program you can do at home says “The success rate [using this program] for advanced cancer is about 95%. So you can count on this method, not merely hope it will work for you. It is a total approach that not only shrinks tumors, but also normalizes your blood chemistry, lowers your cancer markers, and returns your health." Read all about it on page 251 of Natural Cancer Treatments.
The gentle and safe NIH-approved therapy that makes chemo drugs 10,000 more powerful!
So you only need a micro dose. That means you avoid the toxic side-effects of standard chemo. Read about this treatment and how to find a physician near you qualified to administer the treatment, on page 272 of Natural Cancer Treatments.
The creators of these gentle and non-toxic treatments are respected Nobel Prize winners, doctors, biochemists, scientists and Ph.D.'s pre-eminent in their fields. In fact, Nobel Prize winner Dr. Albert Schweizer called Dr. Max Gerson who created a very successful nutritional therapy "a medical genius who walked among us".

Don't Get Cancer
By Simon Mitchell
One antidote to cancer is information.
In general our responses to cancer are converging, but very slowly. Presently all cancer authorities are agreed on only one thing:
Cancer cannot take hold in a healthy immune system
The World Health Organization (W.H.O.) is promoting prevention as a better option than treatment and particularly targeting smoking as the highest
recognizable risk area. The Cancer Research Institute (C.R.I.) is seeking vaccines that support the body's own ability to heal. Alternative and holistic approaches seek to do the same with diet, nutrition, lifestyle and other choices.
Different philosophies of medicine achieve 'immune support' in various ways not considered by orthodox Western medicine, which concentrates mainly on 'drugs and surgery' as an afterthought to disease, often just adding more toxins and stress to an overloaded system. Alternative treatments take many forms to support the body in its own healing process.
Although we have constant new biological treatments promised, they usually only apply to a small percentage of cancer types. Change in this field is
agonizingly slow and in some cases utterly stuck. Medical science is failing to adapt to the new 'quantum theory' sciences that see the human body from an energy or 'vibrational' perspective. Western 'allopathic' medicine continues to refuse integration with other, older medical philosophies such as Chinese, Ayurvedic, Tibetan, Homeopathy, Herbalism or vibrational treatment.
In truth we don't even have a research methodology that will cope with assessing different treatment forms and levels tuned to an individual patient. So far it is much easier for the orthodox to just deny the effectiveness of alternative ways of healing because they do not make rational scientific sense, than it is to extend their model to include other healing models. The fiscal interest of pharmaceutical companies is also a factor in our lack of access to holistic treatments
The complex cancer situation effects us all directly. One in three people in the 'West' now gets cancer at some point. Many factors are combining to aggravate acute degenerative disorders such as cancer or heart disease, the two top killers in the Western World. These expose the unwary to dangers and this includes the toxic side-effects of allopathic treatments - it is emerging that the third biggest killer may be 'allopathic medicine' itself !
The Cancer Research Industry
Research shows that in UK every year somewhere between £450 to £500 million is spent on cancer research by the pharmaceutical industries, charitable organisations and government. In US an estimated $14 billion dollars (£7.72 billion) are spent. A hard-hitting report published in March 2004 by Fortune, an American business magazine and written by Cliff Leaf, himself a cancer survivor, suggests that for several reasons much of this funding and research is misdirected. He claims that despite a total of $200 billion spent on cancer research since 1971 that mortality rates are basically unchanged. The report was all but ignored by mainstream media.
What if he's right? What is much of this money is wasted? What if the research is misdirected? What if much of the work serves no real purpose beyond the generation of profit? That would mean that the cancer research industry is one of the biggest bandwagons ever. Despite many more billions spent world-wide on cancer research there seems very little to show for it. After seeing friends and family cut down in their prime by cancer, and its allopathic treatments, this researcher believes that there is something seriously wrong with accepted wisdom on cancer treatment. The author's local health authority has a twelve million pound overspend this year - the major expenditure? The cost of cancer drugs. Several situations are combining to make cancer a big risk for us all at this time, despite the hard work of many dedicated health service professionals.
Cancer and Orthodox Medical Science
Although medical science has created miracles in dealing with infectious diseases, solving many of the medical problems of the 1940's and 50's, the new weapons against acute degenerative disorders are not yet ready. Genetic testing and
counseling, gene therapy, nutrigenomics, advanced (subtle and tuned) radiotherapies, cell therapies,
therapeutic cloning, cancer vaccines and even anti-aging therapies are a seemingly constant 10 - 15 years away. This is the 21st century and we are still getting 20th century treatments. This leaves us at the moment in a time of high cancer risk with treatments that are often the medical equivalent of cracking a nut with a sledgehammer. The orthodox treatment of cancer is too often as dangerous as the disease itself.
Alternative treatments for cancer are not given a fair hearing. Information is still actively repressed or marginalised from many sources. The subject of Cancer and alternative treatment must be the original can of worms! Its never a good time to get cancer but there are more options than you might think or even be advised from orthodox treatment
centers. For example there are many things one can do to supplement (and ease) orthodox treatments with complementary ones. It is unlikely you will be given information on this unless you seek it out yourself.
Although much research on alternatives is often suppressed there are people who can guide you through the minefield of misinformation, disinformation, ignorance, applied self-interest, politics and other complexities in the field of cancer, whatever choices you make. Support is a central issue in any disease and there are increasing options here with many groups 'online' helping each other with a variety of treatment forms.
An Integrated Approach to Cancer
The cancer discussion needs opening towards a more integrated medicine that is
centered on the patient, but even this discussion is presently
marginalized. People are finding each other online and comparing notes, even the drug manufacturing industries are predicting that 'patient advocacy' forms a strong part of future medicine. But for true patient advocacy to happen, medical consumers presently need to be at least as, if not better informed than their medical doctors.
There are many options in cancer treatment that are not generally discussed through orthodox medicine. For example group therapy is not widely prescribed or accessible for cancer patients despite the fact that studies show it can actually double survival time. There is mounting evidence of the validity of herbal and nutritional regimes that support the immune system and may complement the sledgehammers of traditional, orthodox treatment, chemo and radiotherapy.
Sometimes complementary therapies are allowed with orthodox treatment but are still limited to only accepted medical philosophies - or that which can be measured through double-blind testing methodologies that basically view every person as the same. The different philosophies of 'medicalism' and 'holism' - which puts people central to their treatment - are still far apart. This is not a situation that is in any way advantageous for those of us who become patients.
Alternative approaches are viewed at best as unproven and are unresearchable using 'quantitative research methodologies'. There are many people wanting a more integrated approach to health care than the drugs and surgery promoted by orthodox allopathic medicine. This is shown by the huge number of people who seek complementary and alternative medicines without the knowledge of their doctors. The main research into treatments that address every aspect of disease and patient still takes place in secret because practices that fall outside of standard medical practice and physicians who offer unconventional cancer treatments may be vulnerable to the civil charge of malpractice. Given the modern quantum sciences and other feasible medical models such as those mentioned there are many more realistic options for treatment than we are presently being offered.
It is easy to be overwhelmed in this field, different people giving different information, which you may need to find, understand and act upon, often 'against the clock'. What is needed is an overview that presents comprehensive information from wide sources in an objective manner.
