Cancer is one of the most dreaded diseases of humanity.

Probably as old as life itself, cancer has been around humanity for ages, but only in the second half of the 20th century did the number of cases begin to explode. The sudden surge of this devastating disease was probably due to:

• The drastic changes of high-stress lifestyle
• The overuse and misuse of drugs and pharmaceuticals
• The inferior quality and the huge quantity of junk food available
• The excessive use of chemicals and extensive exposure to environmental pollutants

Remember, all the above were not around, or at least not as rampant, a hundred years ago.

But cancer is not a mysterious disease against which you are powerless. If you understand its causes and take positive actions, and if your body has enough time to make the necessary adjustments, you can still win your battle against the disease.

In life, everything happens with a reason, though you may not be fully aware of it. Once you understand the cause of a disease, you may be able to control, if not completely get rid of it; and that applies to cancer too.

Causes of cancer

Cancerous tumors begin to develop when cells that are cancer prone are being created in an environment promoting their abnormal growth. Given that cancer is a complex disease, other than the genetic factor, there may be many other causes of cancer:

(1) Refined sugars and carbohydrates fermentation

Your body has billions of cells, and among them cancerous cells are always being created in your body. These cells must ferment sugar in order to produce energy for their growth. Though they survive in the fermentation, some of them cannot perform any normal functions, so they may multiply and grow, and thus becoming malignant cancerous cells.

Refined sugars and carbohydrates may create a carcinogen-breeding environment. Your body has to produce a lot of insulin to get the excessive sugar out of your system, and this fermentation may feed the cancerous cells in your body.

(2) Low oxygen levels

Increased amounts of carcinogens, pollutants, and toxicity often impair your cells, rendering them incapable of absorbing oxygen efficiently, resulting in their low-oxygen levels — one of the fundamental causes of cancer.

(3) High acidity

Research has shown that cancerous cells tend to thrive in an acidic environment. A balanced acid-alkaline body (a balanced pH level) may make you disease-free. On the other hand, the more acidic your cells are, the less oxygenated they become, and the more likely they may turn cancerous.

(4) Fungal infections

Candida or other fungal infections may also be the culprit in promoting carcinogen development by undermining your body’s immune response to cancerous cells.

(5) Heavy metal toxicity

Heavy metal toxicity in your body may result from years of exposure to highly toxic heavy metals. Heavy metal toxicity may have come from the environment, the amalgam fillings from your dentists, your injection of vaccines and infusion of certain drugs, and your consumption of certain fish with elevated mercury levels. These heavy metals may play havoc with your immune system over time.

Every chemical and toxin in you body may cause free radical damage, which not only harms your DNA but also causes some cells to mutate abnormally into cancerous cells.

(6) Low enzyme levels

Enzymes are instrumental in killing cancerous cells in your body. However, enzymes are easily depleted, if not destroyed, by heat and chemicals.

Your digestive system is capable of processing raw food, which is rich in enzymes to predigest the ingested food in your upper stomach where it may sit for 30 – 45 minutes. When the food reaches your lower stomach, your pancreas excretes more enzymes to complete the digestion.

However, when you eat cooked and processed foods, in which enzymes have been killed, the food is not predigested in your upper stomach. Therefore, when it reaches your lower stomach, your pancreas must work extra hard to break down the undigested food, often resulting in only partially digested food. Undigested food causes more toxic build-up in your colon as well as the rest of the body.

Cancer treatment options

There are no miracle cures for cancer. Strategies that purport to cure cancer today may not hold water tomorrow. However, there are many cancer treatment options available to control cancer. It is up to an individual to decide on which is the best cancer treatment.

According to Hippocrates, the father of medicine, “No man can be a better physician to you than yourself, who know your own body’s needs.” So, nobody can make a medical decision for you, especially an important one, such as cancer treatment.

• Bottom line: Any invasive procedures, such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapyshould be cautiously considered only as the last cancer treatment options. They often impair the immune system — which is basically the cause and promotion of cancer growth.
• Words of wisdom: Treating cancer is a huge business today. Every 30 seconds another American is diagnosed with the disease, and every 55 seconds or so, another American dies from the disease. Remember, many get to profit from the many cancer treatment options provided. Just think about lest you jump from the frying pan into the fire!
• Words of wisdom: To fight cancer, more is better: you can do only too little, not too much! But do it the natural way to control cancer, if not eradicate it! The first step is to empower yourself with knowledge and information about cancer and its treatments, so that you will make a wise choice, given that the treatment options available are many.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture may not cure cancer. However, it may play a pivotal role in post-operative pain control, minimizing the use of narcotic medications, which may cause nausea, severe constipation, and mental confusion. Acupuncture accelerates recovery from any invasive cancer treatment.

Detoxification

Body detox is a must to boost the immune system to fight against free radicals. (Visit my blog: Body Detox.)

Heavy metals are implicated as a causative factor in many illnesses, especially neurological diseases such as autism, Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, chronic fatigue syndrome, and especially cancer.

Essential Nutrients

Optimize cellular health for optimal cancer cures. All normal cells require oxygen, but cancer cells can live without oxygen. A cell deprived of 60 percent of its oxygen will turn cancerous. In addition, lack of oxygen and high levels of acidity often go hand in hand.

Oxygenation for cellular health requires five essential nutrients:

• L-carnitine — to ensure the proper oxidation of fats within cells
• Coenzyme Q10 — to prevent free radical damage within the cell
• Alpha lipoic acid — to regenerate vitamins E and C after oxidation
• Vitamin E — to protect cell membranes from free radical damage
• Vitamin C — to inhibit the oxidation of cholesterol and to support the production of the antioxidant glutathione

Herbal cancer cures

The National Cancer Institute of Cancer (NCI) has identified some 3,000 natural herbs known to have some effect on fighting cancer. Some of the most popular ones for cancer cures are:

• Artemisinin is a natural parasite remedy. Artemisia annua possesses properties which potentially support balanced intestinal microbiology. It strengthens the immune system
• Astragalus is especially beneficial to cancer patients who have undergone chemotherapy and radiation because it ameliorates bone marrow pression and gastrointestinal toxicity. Tincture is easily assimilated.
• Bloodroot Tincture has therapeutic effects on acidity and toxicity, often associated with the growth of cancerous cells. The FDA has approved the use of bloodroot in tooth-pastes, oral rinses, and cough syrups to fight against bacteria and germs.
• Boswellin is s a standardized Ayurvedic extract containing 65 percent Boswellic acids, the active constituents of the herb Boswellia serrata. It is naturally produced in India from the gum resins of the Boswellia serrata tree. According to a study in Germany, 25 cancer patients were administered a dry extract of boswellia for one week. The tumors were then surgically removed. About half the patients had such significant regressions that the tumors had all but disappeared.
• Chaparral Tincture, with its potent antioxidants, is anti-inflammatory. According to the late Dr. William Kelley, chaparral acts as a natural chelator of liver and pancreatic toxins resulting from exposure to chemicals, medications and drug abuse, and pollutants.
• Goldenseal Root Tincture is a wild perennial herb native to North America. Dr. John Pattison began his medical career using bloodroot to treat his cancer patients, but he changed to goldenseal because he regarded it as clinically superior.
• Mistletoe Nerves Formula Tincture is a potent immunity booster in addition to being an agent to calm nerves. Mistletoe extracts have been shown to kill cancer cells and to stimulate immune system cells.
• Wormwood Herb Tincture is more than a stomach medicine: Professor Henry Lai and his research team have demonstrated the efficacy of wormwood in treating breast tumors.
