Cancer
The good news is that supportive nutrition therapy can significantly
increase cancer patients' quality and length of life and improve their
chances for a complete remission. Better yet, a healthy lifestyle
that includes a wholesome diet, sufficient exercise, positive attitude
and toxin avoidance can prevent up to 90 percent of cancers.
Now for the bad news. Conventional medicine does not have a high success
rate with the disease. By the turn of this century, cancer will become
the leading cause of death in America. During the past 26 years, NCI
spent $37 billion in research with a resulting increase in cancer
incidence and deaths. Clearly, medicine cannot produce a " magic
bullet " to cure cancer while patients go on living on soft drinks,
pollutants and stress.
On December 23, 1971, President Richard M. Nixon confidently declared
a " war on cancer " and promised a cure by the 1976 Bicentennial.
However, as late as 1991, a group of 60 noted physicians and scientists
called a press conference and made the following statement: "
The cancer establishment confuses the public with repeated claims
that we are winning the war on cancer. ... Our ability to treat and
cure most cancers has not materially improved.
Developing
A Strategy
In early
research, the techniques of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy looked
like the best approaches to cancer. The goal was to cut away, burn
and poison the abnormal cells. While such therapies can temporarily
reduce tumor burden, they do not cure cancer. Only by changing the
underlying cause of the disease can a cancer patient expect to return
to health.
Doctors now know that eliminating cancer begins with changing the
conditions that support tumor growth, not just applying cytotoxic
therapies to kill cancer cells. Here's an analogy: Fungus grows on
the bark of a tree due to the favorable conditions of heat, moisture
and darkness. You can cut, burn and poison a fungus all you want,
but as long as favorable conditions persist, it will flourish. Similarly,
cancer develops in a human when conditions are right.
Reasons given for causes of cancer are varied. Documented factors
that favor tumor formation include toxic burden, immune suppression,
malnutrition, mental depression and elevated blood glucose.
What
should a cancer patient do?
Take
the advice of your doctor/hospital.
Nourish your inner environment. Eat a healthy and varied diet of lean
and clean protein (fish, chicken, turkey, beans), colorful vegetables
(beets, carrots, spinach), some whole grains and nuts, very little
fruit, no refined sugar, and little to no dairy (with yogurt as the
preferred selection).
Add high-dose
therapeutic supplements, including a broad-spectrum vitamin and mineral,
extra vitamin C and E succinate, co-Q10, selenium, fish oil and mixed
carotenoids. Many herbs are nourishing and immune supportive. For
instance, mannans from Aloe vera have a documented ability to augment
immune functions.
Some
food extracts are also beneficial. Bovine cartilage, when used as
sole therapy in advanced human cancers, was able to produce a 35 percent
long-term cure rate.
Topically
applied bovine cartilage accelerates wound recovery.
A healthy
lifestyle extends beyond diet. Try to detoxify not only your body,
but also your mind. Nourish your mind with positive thoughts. Pray
and believe. Sustain your spirit with good feelings. Surround yourself
with beauty, music and supportive people. Saturate yourself with a
determination to beat the cancer.
