How To Prevent And Deal With Cancer Naturally
Dear Readers, one of the greatest concerns the world has today is cancer.
According to the National Cancer Institute there are approximately 1,372,910 new cases of cancer reported each year, and in 2005 alone 570, 280 deaths related to cancer were predicted.
At this present time, it is estimated that one in every four deaths is due to some form of cancer.
Now, research has shown that the lifetime probability of developing some form of cancer is rated at 46% for men while for women it is currently at 36%.
The most common forms of cancers are:
In Men:
1. Prostate: This accounts for approximately 33% of males.
2. Lung and bronchus: Accounts for 13% of males
3. Colon and Rectal: Accounts for 10% of males
In Women:
1. Breast: 14% of females.
2. Lung and Bronchus: 12% of females.
3. Colon and rectum: 11% of females
Some other disturbing statistics about cancer are as follows:
1. Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the US, exceeded only by heart disease. One of every four deaths in the US is from cancer.
2. 1 in 7-8 women in the United States, or 14%, will develop breast cancer over the course of a lifetime.
However, some precautionary statistics are that
1. According to a March 29, 2012 news release, a study of 100,000 women over a 28 year period shows that 3-6 glasses of alcohol/week increases the risk of breast cancer in women by 15 %
2. 2-3 glasses of alcohol per day increases the risk of breast cancer in women by 51%
3. All cancers caused by cigarette smoking and heavy use of alcohol could be prevented completely. (So, let us take note of these warnings!)
Now, various forms of cancer have very different symptoms but here are some symptoms that might indicate cancer in a part of your body.
1. Unexplained lumps anywhere in the body.
2. Unusual changes or growth in a mole or wart.
3. Sores or wounds that do not heal.
4. Persistent coughing.
5. Changes in bladder or bowel movements.
6. Sudden weight loss or gain.
7. Unusual discharge or bleeding.
Now, it is noteworthy that these symptoms could also be caused by a multitude of other diseases, and the only way to find out what is causing them is to enlist the help of a doctor to get an accurate diagnosis. However, since any of these symptoms do manifest the signs of something being wrong, if they are applicable to you, then suffice it to say that now will be the time to remove the cause or causative factor in just about any degenerative disease, which is basically a poor and unhealthy diet to begin with.
At this stage, cancer has caused a degree of grief and sadness in my life, just as it has for many other people. For example, my aunt, my father’s sister, lost her battle to cancer in 2007.
Then a friend of mine succumbed to breast cancer in 2008. What was even more saddening was this time, the cancer was the result of a relapse. In other words, she had been treated and cured in the assessment of her medical doctor in one breast, as the cancer was said to have gone in remission. However the cancer came right back and affected her in the other breast and there was a relapse.
Yes, this was sad and painful and at the time, of course without knowing what I know now, I simply said it was ‘God’s will’ and perhaps it shouldn’t be questioned.
But my views on people falling sick and it being the ‘will of God’ has since changed and I have expressed this in chapter 1 of this book.
So, as my knowledge of the link between eating the proper foods according to the Bible (now backed up by Science and Medical Research) and disease prevention have increased, I have done a little research on why people get cancer in the first place and why someone could possibly have a relapse when they have supposedly been cured by doctors and conventional method of healing such as Chemotherapy, Radiation and Surgery and I will like to share what I have found with you all in this article.
Here goes:
Folks, owing to our lifestyles and diets, most people periodically do get cancer cells forming in their bodies. However, these cells are usually detected by their immune systems and this defense mechanism kills the cancer cells. In other words, virtually everyone gets new cancer cells, but owing to the marvelous security system put in our bodies by our Maker, most people have immune systems that can deal with these new cancer cells.
That said, at this stage, why do some people still end up with cancer?
Well, it could happen for any of the following reasons:
1) A person’s immune system may have been too weak to kill a standard number of new cancer cells, and/or
2) New cancer cells were forming faster than a normal immune system could handle them.
In other words, a person gets cancer either because their immune system was too feeble and/or the number of new cancer cells being formed in their body was above normal at a given time.
Folks, most human beings have cancer cells in their bodies. Most of us don’t even know we have cancer cells because our immune systems safely and easily kill these cancer cells as they form.
In fact, as long as there is a balance between the number of new cancer cells in our bodies, and the strength of our immune systems, we will never “get cancer,” meaning the cancer cells will never grow out of control.
However, again, cancer is caused by an imbalance between the number of cancer cells in the body and the strength of the immune system. Either there are more cancer cells than there should be or the immune system is too weak, or both. This imbalance allows the cancer cells to spread enough to be noticed and be dangerous.
That said, it should be noted that based on the illustrative comparison chart and the information given in Chapter 4 of this book on Disease Forming (acidic) and Body Healing (alkaline) foods, not only do acidic foods create cancer cells, they also inevitably weaken the immune system of the average human to be able to attack and kill these cancerous cells. In addition, acid forming foods such as ALL dairy, meat, processed, junk, fried, or micro-waved foods create an abnormally high number of cancer cells or make the cancer cells more aggressive.
Of course, for some types of cancers, such as lung cancer coming as a result of another dangerous habit, smoking cigarettes, the cancer cells which form are aggressive by their nature. However, an improper diet will always be a catalyst for the very growth and stubborn presence of the cancer cells!
=========================
Conventional Cancer Patients Who Are In Remission
Now, when a cancer patient is cured of their cancer or the cancer is under control, the cancer patient is said to be in “remission.”
However, it should be noted that when a cancer patient is put into “remission” there is always the concern the cancer will come back.
Therefore, if indeed the cancer does return, then it is called a “regression,” which means the cancer was cured, but it came back. Well, like I have highlighted in this book, we may be able to mask the symptoms or effects of a disease by thinking it’s cured, however, as long as the cause is not removed or stopped, as the case may be, there’s always a chance the disease (or another one) could come right back.
It should be noted that for some types of cancer, the regression rate (or the chances of the cancer coming back) after orthodox using medicine is nearly 100%.
As a matter of fact, it is noteworthy that in most cases (not all) where the doctors say a patient is in remission, they do know they did not “get it all” and that the cancer may come back. Very tellingly, this has been seen as a business tactic set up to keep the patient loyal to their oncologist.
Still, let’s try to give some doctors the benefit of the doubt and at this stage, let’s dwell on the instances where a cancer patient really is cured or at least has their cancer in remission.
Friends, it should be pointed out that even when orthodox medicine does put a cancer patient into remission, they can still go into regression, ironically enough because they have had chemotherapy, radiation or surgery used in the treatment of their cancer cases.
Now, you may ask in disbelief: “why and how is that so?”
Well, there are actually two main reasons why people’s cancer comes back.
That said, in order to be able to understand why a cancer patient goes into regression, you simply have to compare them to most people who do not have cancer which could be explained as follows:
1. Their immune system is suppressed (at the time they go into remission) and is not able to kill new cancer cells which most people get from eating the wrong things and other unhealthy habits.
2. Due to the fact that their immune system is weakened, the new cancer cells that routinely form grow out of control.
Therefore, not only does a cancer patient in remission have a severely weakened immune system, but any cancer cells which form will consequentially have no adversary to get rid of them.
As mentioned earlier, these are the same two reasons why cancer forms in the first place as a result of unhealthy habits. So, it should not surprise anyone why most conventional cancer patients eventually have their cancer come back!
However, there is a third reason that applies especially to orthodox cancer patients who go into regression from a fast cancer attack. It is that it is very possible that not all the cancer cells were eliminated by their orthodox cancer treatment.
Neither chemotherapy, nor radiation, nor surgery is capable of killing all cancer cells.
Thus, it is certain, or at least, very possible that when an orthodox cancer patient goes into remission, they have many cancer cells remaining in their body. Cells that remain in their bodies even though they are told they are in remission.
Furthermore, MDR cells (Multiple Drug-Resistant cancer cells) became immune to chemotherapy and thus never died. Thus, they are available to multiply even when a cancer patient is in remission.
So, it is almost certain an orthodox cancer patient will eventually go into regression, meaning their cancer will come back based on any of the four factors below:
1) A weakened or non-existent immune system
2) A possibility that cancer cells are left over from their orthodox cancer treatments
3) Multiple Drug-Resistant cells developing a resistance to chemotherapy making them unable to be killed and
4) Normal forming cancer cells that have no adversary to kill them.
It should be noted that in regards to orthodox medicine, the patient who is in “remission,” at least those who had real cancer (which had spread beyond the ability of surgeons to cut it out) are frequently told to stay on chemotherapy for life. This is because chemotherapy can never kill all the cancer cells and chemotherapy can never restore the immune system.
Perhaps the best that chemotherapy may be able to do is to control the cancer cells to a degree, but at the same time, it CANNOT tell the difference between cancer cells and normal cells.
Now, before this information about the inefficiency of Chemotherapy is possibly scoffed at or disregarded, please read what a medical doctor has to say about treating cancer conventionally.
Her name is Dr. Lorraine Day and she is a medical practitioner who has described how she was completely healed from the deadly disease of cancer. The photograph on her web site shows the cancerous tumor that she had on her body:
http://www.drday.com/tumor.htm
Very tellingly, Dr. Lorraine Day reversed her severe, advanced cancer by rebuilding her immune system via natural therapies, so her body could heal itself.
In her video “Cancer Doesn’t Scare Me Anymore,” she describes how she was completely healed from cancer of the breast, which had spread throughout her lymphatic system and the muscles of her chest. As a Medical Doctor she knew what the profession did to people with cancer, and she refused to undergo conventional treatments, even when her Oncologist refused to treat her unless she complied with either (1) mastectomy (2) radiation or (3) chemotherapy.
She asked the doctor: “My immune system is the most important factor in my fight against cancer, so why should I let you destroy it?” Dr. Day says: “A person cannot get well when the immune system does not function properly.”
Dr. Lorraine Day explains why chemotherapy and radiation is not good for any cancer patient: “Many, who die from cancer, don’t actually die from the cancer itself, but from losing the battle against the side effects of treating the symptoms, mostly through chemotherapy and radiation. Chemotherapy and radiation DESTROY the immune system, the ONLY system in our body that gets us well and keeps us well from EVERY disease!”
“Chemotherapy and radiation also destroy cells indiscriminately, good cells, bad cells, they kill them all. Chemotherapy is poison and kills cells by poisoning them. It is a chemical and, of course, is unable to tell a cancer cell from a non-cancer cell.
That’s why a person’s hair falls out and they get so sick and vomit.”
“The explanation the doctor gives to justify using chemotherapy is that the chemotherapy tends to kill the cells that are the fastest growing or the fast-dividing cells, thus it will kill MORE cancer cells than normal cells. And this is true; however, it kills so MANY normal cells, particularly the immune cells that the patient often dies from the TREATMENT rather than from the cancer!”
“What about radiation? Radiation burns out the cancer, in fact, it burns everything in its pathway. It also, like chemotherapy, kills cells absolutely indiscriminately and it destroys the immune system. When the immune system is so severely damaged by chemotherapy or radiation, it can no longer restrain the spread of cancer which is why after 5 to 7 years (average) it is common to find that the cancer has returned and spread to other organs.”
Now, that’s coming from a doctor’s own mouth, so suffice it so say you could take this information to heart if it applies to you!
However, for the general media, manufacturers and medical fraternity that advertises or endorses chemotherapy; telling us otherwise (which is that chemotherapy is safe or the only alternative for treating cancer), is a highly profitable business strategy. This is the case, because it gets people to use chemotherapy to cure or control cancer and keeps them dependent on it for as long as possible. Sometimes…for life!
In addition, this, of course, is exactly how to turn cancer into a chronic disease, in the rare cases where the cancer patient lives long enough to go into remission.
Folks, again, chemotherapy destroys a person’s immune system because the immune system has many fast-growing cells. Chemotherapy also kills many fast-growing cells in the stomach and colon, making it difficult for the cancer patient to properly digest healthy foods.
Furthermore, chemotherapy is so dangerous that if a person uses enough chemotherapy to kill all of their cancer cells, the patient would die long before all of their cancer cells died.
So, not only is the immune system damaged, but there are lots of cancer cells left over after treatment. Therefore, chemotherapy makes both sides of the equation worse as the person becomes dependent on chemotherapy for life because they have no immune system; assuming they live very long.
It has been stated that Over 15% of cancer patients who die of cancer are still on chemotherapy at the time they die, thus they are never sent home to die! This percentage will no doubt grow.
Folks, many people who “die from cancer” really die from the chemotherapy long before they would have actually died from the cancer itself.
Now, what exactly is Chemotherapy?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia , Chemotherapy is the treatment of cancer with an antineoplastic drug or with a combination of such drugs into a standardized treatment regimen.
The most common chemotherapy agents act by killing cells that divide rapidly, one of the main properties of most cancer cells. This means that chemotherapy also harms cells that divide rapidly under normal circumstances: cells in the bone marrow, digestive tract, and hair follicles. This results in the most common side-effects of chemotherapy: myelosuppression (decreased production of blood cells, hence also immunosuppression), mucositis (inflammation of the lining of the digestive tract), and alopecia (hair loss).
Now, chemotherapy has always been developed from toxic poisonous chemicals. Therefore, there has and will always be a fine line between handing out a “therapeutic dose” and killing the cancer patient.
Very tellingly, many doctors step over that line. Nonetheless, I will like to believe most physicians are good natured, therefore, it’s safe to say this is usually not done on purpose!
For facts based on members of the medical fraternity themselves, let’s go over some statements.
Dr. Allen Levin says: “Most cancer patients in this country die of chemotherapy. Chemotherapy does not eliminate breast, colon, or lung cancers. This fact has been documented for over a decade, yet doctors still use chemotherapy for these tumors.”
In his book, The Topic of Cancer: When the Killing Has to Stop, Dick Richards cites a number of autopsy studies which have shown that cancer patients actually died from conventional treatments before the tumor had a chance to kill them.
In his book, When Healing Becomes a Crime, Kenny Ausubel notes that in a trial on a chemotherapy drug tested for leukemia, a whooping 42% of the patients died directly from the toxicity of the chemotherapy drug!
Here are the facts. In 1942, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center quietly began to treat breast cancer with these mustard gas derivatives. No one was cured. Chemotherapy trials were also conducted at Yale around 1943 where 160 patients were treated. Again, no one was cured.
According to Dr. John Diamond, M.D., “A study of over 10,000 patients shows clearly that chemo’s supposedly strong track record with Hodgkin’s disease (lymphoma) is actually a lie. Patients who underwent chemo were 14 times more likely to develop leukemia and 6 times more likely to develop cancers of the bones, joints, and soft tissues than those patients who did not undergo chemotherapy.”
Dr. Glenn Warner, who died in 2000, was one of the most highly qualified cancer specialists in the United States. He used alternative treatments on his cancer patients with great success. On the treatment of cancer in this country he said: “We have a multi-billion dollar industry that is killing people, right and left, just for financial gain. Their idea of research is to see whether two doses of this poison is better than three doses of that poison.”
Dr. Alan C. Nixon, past president of the American Chemical Society writes, “As a chemist trained to interpret data, it is incomprehensible to me that physicians can ignore the clear evidence that chemotherapy does much, much more harm than good.”
And according to Dr. Charles Mathe, French cancer specialist, “…if I contracted cancer, I would never go to a standard cancer treatment centre. Only cancer victims who live far from such centers have a chance.”
Still, on an almost daily basis and with an annual occurrence, the Cancer Industry continues to put these toxic chemicals into the bodies of cancer patients. In addition, it’s safe to say that the patients let them do it, at times, even volunteering to be subjects for new studies.
Folks, it is expensive to go the conventional route of treating cancer which basically poisons the body of the average cancer patient by trying to mask the symptoms or removing the effects of an unhealthy lifestyle, while the CAUSE or CAUSATIVE factor remains unchecked.
Still, most people still gladly pay the high price for this financially, physically and emotionally. The truth is that there are many effective natural cancer treatments that don’t require a barbaric procedure like chemotherapy or even what seems to be developing as an alternative by acting directly against abnormal proteins in cancer cells.
This newly mentioned option is termed as Targeted Therapy and, in the technical sense, is not chemotherapy.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Targeted therapy is a type of medication that blocks the growth of cancer cells by interfering with specific targeted molecules needed for carcinogenesis and tumor growth, rather than by simply interfering with rapidly dividing cells (e.g. with traditional chemotherapy).
Now, they say targeted cancer therapies may be more effective than current treatments and less harmful to normal cells. However, as it to be expected, there are Side Effects to Targeted Therapies such as
Immune system changes,
Slower wound healing.
Blood pressure changes.
Skin changes in the form of Rashes, Dry skin, itching,
Red, sore cuticles (the areas around the nails)
Hand-foot syndrome- A painful sensitivity of the hands and feet ,
Changes in hair growth
Changes in hair or skin color
Changes in and around the eyes
In fact, there are other less common side effects that have also been linked to treatment with targeted therapies.
These include: Diarrhea, Nausea and vomiting, Constipation, Mouth sores, Shortness of breath, Cough, Feeling tired all the time (fatigue), Headache, Swelling in your hands and feet
The medical fraternity claims these side effects are manageable and typically less severe than with traditional chemotherapy. However, you can see for yourself that indeed, there are side effects regardless.
Well, you be the judge:
Won’t you rather just prevent Cancer or strengthen your immune system to prevent it naturally.
If you have been diagnosed with cancer, won’t you rather seek out less painful alternatives which are not only effective at curing and preventing ALL degenerative diseases but are also not taxing or hard on your wallet or bank account!
For me, I am rolling with # 1 and if by any chance I or anyone else close to me became diagnosed with cancer (God forbid) , oh without a doubt, I will be rolling with #2!
Now, this leaves us with another group of Cancer Patients which shall be addressed in the next section.
Alternative Cancer Patients Who Are In Remission
One of the great deceptions (or at least ‘half-truths’) of conventional medicine in regards to treating cancer is that they can put people into “remission.”
However, as we have gone over, based on the dangers and havoc of chemotherapy, you can be rest assured when a person’s immune system has been destroyed, and many, many cancer cells have survived the treatment, a cancer patient can never truly be in “remission.”
Their cancer will always come back because the balance has not been restored and most likely such a person may inevitably have gone back to an unhealthy lifestyle of eating the wrong things!
In addition, radiation and surgery also kill many healthy cells, meaning non-cancerous cells. Surgery is also hard on the immune system. Basically, an orthodox cancer treatment turns a cancer patient (for as long as they live) into a patient with a chronic disease that can always come back. It may be a hard pill to swallow and this may hurt, but it is the truth. However, there is still hope and we shall address this shortly.
Any cancer patient who has been on extensive orthodox cancer treatments, especially chemotherapy, may not have a properly functioning immune system. Furthermore, their stomach is probably not able to digest foods as well as a normal person because of chemotherapy (many cells in the stomach are fast-growing cells and thus are targets for chemotherapy).
What this means is that for cancer patients who are in remission, their stomachs cannot extract all the nutrients from foods both during the alternative cancer treatment. In addition, both the immune system and non-cancerous cells are damaged by the lack of nutrients due to chemotherapy damaging the fast-growing cells which are normally part of the digestive tract.
Furthermore, the cancer itself may have rigorously damaged many of the non-cancerous cells by robbing nutrients and glucose from them.
So do alternative cancer treatments (taken after extensive orthodox cancer treatments) build the immune system back to where it was before the cancer patient got cancer? It may take a while, but eventually, after adhering to all the components of treating and preventing cancer naturally, the immune system could be built back to being good enough to kill cancer cells. At least by changing one’s bad habits to good ones, a person is not introducing the cause or causative factor in cancer into the body AND is actually doing the same for all other diseases.
So What Exactly Could Be Done To Treat Cancer Naturally?
Here’s something worth noting-folks; even cancer can be healed and of course prevented by following God’s Natural Health Laws.
Now, before I go any further, if you have been or know someone who has been diagnosed with cancer, or if you are or know someone who is said to be in remission, but have some worries about a possible regression, I want to give you some words of encouragement first: Romans 15:13 “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.”
That said, never underestimate the Power and Wisdom of the Almighty in healing you through His power or by simply adhering to his basic laws for health. Remember, He makes his sun to shine on the just and unjust, so whether you are a believer in God or not, applying His scientifically proven methods of healing ALL diseases and preventing them from coming back can be applied to Cancer exclusively.
To that effect, here are some recommendations for cancer patients by the previously mentioned Dr. Lorraine Day and I am presenting them here as they relate to this book for your edification.
*Nutrition- The foundation for this is primarily what has been discussed all over this book. I can say in all confidence that with a review of Chapters 4-6, 14 and 24-26 of this book, you should be well equipped on the information needed for not only curing (or at least helping to cure and prevent) cancer, but all diseases.
*Exercise- at least half hour daily – reduces 66% incidence rate for breast cancer. We have gone over the necessity of exercise in Chapter 23 of this book and the types of exercises that one can choose from, so by all means feel free to review that chapter if needed. On a side note, since chapter 23 discusses Yoga, I would like to have you know that indeed, working hand in hand with a proper diet, Yoga is indeed not only a great body builder, but helps immensely with detoxification, curing and the prevention of diseases.
*Hydration-See chapter 14 and 26 for the best way water AND lemon juice can be used for hydration. Also, you can review the article on fasting as a panacea for all diseases in the Bonus article section.
*Sunshine-Besides all the information given in Chapter 22, again remember, sunlight kills bacteria and boosts the immune system which apparently reduces size of tumors.
*Temperance- elimination of all harmful chemicals – carcinogens, caffeine, processed foods, drugs, all medications but not instantly, gradually – step by step (please review Chapter 4 for more on Disease Forming and Disease Healing Foods, Notorious sources of Heavy Metals and also remember all the information given in Chapter 18 on just how dangerous Microwaves are in regards to being carcinogenic!
*Fresh Air. Indoor air doubles cancer growth speed. Hospital air conditioning system re-circulates polluted air. Cancer does not like oxygen. Do deep breathing exercises (so again, Yoga can come in handy for aiding with cancer treatments and preventions owing to the deep breathing that is often times involved.
*Proper sleep-We have gone over this in chapter 27of this book, so, please feel free to review this chapter.
*Stress Relief - stress is one of the major causes of disease. Even the Bible says that here: A peaceful heart leads to a healthy body; jealousy is like cancer in the bones. ! (Proverbs 14:30) God promises to heal all your diseases if you keep His commandments. (Exodus 15:26). What you put in your mind is just as important as what you put in your mouth. Every negative thought must go. Remember, as a man thinks in his heart, so is he.
All of God’s Natural Health Laws are free, except the food, which we need to eat anyway. Drugs never heal diseases – our God-given immune system does. As I have stated elsewhere in this book and which should be plain and simple to grasp, Dr. Lorraine Day believes that to be healed of any sickness we must reverse the cause NOT THE effect. We cannot heal a disease by doing something completely unrelated to its cause.
So, if you have been able to overcome cancer by means of the medical fraternity thus far, keep the following in mind:
-Be thankful it worked to alleviate the symptoms BUT begin now to be mindful of the CAUSE so there is no relapse in the future. Conventional treatments may have dealt with the effects (results) of eating wrong which manifests themselves as cancer, but the CAUSE may still be left in the body or WILL come back if you keep eating the wrong things.
-What is being offered in this book in general is not necessarily geared at only cancer, but all diseases and physical encumbrances.
If on the other hand you have been diagnosed with cancer, the same principles mentioned earlier do apply for curing it naturally. In fact, you are at a better advantage in that your immune system may not have been destroyed by Chemotherapy, Targeted Therapy, Radiation or Surgery to start with. So in this case, it is a matter of changing one’s lifestyle and habits basically that will need to be done.
For a more vigorous treatment, with 30 days on eating an alkaline raw diet of seasonal fruits and some leaves and/or celery, along with the recommended Lemonade in Chapter 14 of this book and the occasional 2-3 day liquid diet/fast, outlined in the “All You Need to Know About Fasting and Cleansing” article in Chapter 27, I fail to see how the body cannot and will not heal itself. For people of various religious faiths, when you are making the effort to make a change, and do pray along with this, I KNOW our God is Merciful and long suffering enough to heal you as well. Dear Brethren In Christ, never underestimate the power of prayer!
Now, since the medical analysis states that the stomachs of cancer patients cannot extract all the nutrients from foods both during the cancer treatments and after they have gone through conventional methods, don’t give up hope. The analysis did NOT say it can’t extract anything.
Simply build up your immune system by eating foods that can easily have their nutrients extracted: fruits and by all means avoid ALL animal flesh and by products and ALL mucus forming foods (essentially anything that is not a fruit, leafy or Colored Root vegetable.)
In fact, now will be the time to go on a raw vegan diet and perhaps go longer days on fasting in between. For example 3-5 days of seasonal juicy fruits intermingled with 2-3 days of juice fasting (as outlined in previously mentioned Fasting article).
Of course, if you believe in God, pray. If you don’t, well now may be a good time to at least try to pray. What do you have to lose?
I mention prayer because it never hurts to include God in your attempts to heal the body and prevent diseases and what could have otherwise taken a little longer without prayer could in fact happen in an instant-miracles still do happen till this day!
It is written: “For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” Romans 8: 15
Brothers and Sisters, God is always available to hear the prayer of His Children-even if you believe in Him now or are yet to believe in Him!
To strengthen the liver, rebuild the body and aid in an overall cleansing of the body, I cannot say enough about a wonderful and inexpensive tonic that you can make yourself by squeezing lemons in water and drinking a specific solution of this as outlined in chapter 14 of this book.
Forget all the expensive supplements and products out there and simply go back to the basics folks. Now, if you are wondering what is so great about lemons, well, besides all the information to that effect provided in chapter 14, in regards to treating and preventing cancer, here are some noteworthy facts about this fruit.
Like all citrus fruits, Lemons and their juice are rich sources of vitamin C.
It has been estimated that a 50 g serving of fresh lemon juice, or slightly less than 1/4 cup, provides 23 mg of vitamin C — over 33 percent of the recommended daily value, or DV.
It should be noted that Vitamin C, like vitamins A and E, is an antioxidant that supports immune system function. Furthermore, it helps protect your cells from free radicals, which can cause significant damage.
According to the National Cancer Institute, by definition, free radicals are charged atoms that are formed when certain molecules work together with oxygen. They react with cell membranes and the DNA within cells, thus hindering their function.
Now, it is noteworthy that damaged cells are the first step leading to cancer development. Therefore, again, choosing a diet high in antioxidants, from fruits and vegetables, plays an important role in cancer prevention and to a degree, healing cancer as the case may be.
On that note, it should be pointed out that lemons and limes also contain disease-fighting compounds known as limonoids and in laboratory tests with animals and with human cells, these citrus limonoids have been shown to help fight cancers of the mouth, skin, lung, breast, stomach and colon.
According to the US Agricultural Research Service, the human body is able to readily absorb a specific, long-acting limonoid known as limonin and both lemons and limes contain nearly as much limonin as they do vitamin C.
Now, this is special significance in cancer prevention because the results of a 2001 culture study summarized in “Nutrition and Cancer,” showed that this compound, at a concentration of 100 mcg/mL, was highly useful at partially inhibiting the growth of human ovarian cancer cells and causing the death of breast cancer cells.
On a related note and adding to this piece of good news, it should be pointed out that three years later in the “Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry,” researchers discovered three new limonoids. Two of these limonoids, obacunone and deoxylimonin, significantly reduced the number and load of induced oral-cavity tumors by 25 to 50 percent!
So, by all means, in addition to ALL the benefits of lemons listed in Chapter 14 of this book, as an added defense for cancer prevention, please partake generously of this super fruit as outlined herewith.
It should also be noted that when dealing with cancer, the following fruits are of a special significance in that Oranges and lemons contain Iimonene which stimulates cancer-killing immune cells (lymphocytes, e.g.) that may also break down cancer-causing substances.
Grapefruits, like oranges and other citrus fruits, contain monoterpenes, believed to help prevent cancer by sweeping carcinogens out of the body. Some studies show that grapefruit may inhibit the proliferation of breast-cancer cells in vitro. They also contain vitamin C, beta-carotene, and folic acid.
In addition, Papayas have vitamin C that works as an antioxidant and may also reduce absorption of cancer-causing nitrosamines from the soil or processed foods. Papaya contains folacin (also known as folic acid), which has been shown to minimize cervical dysplasia and certain cancers.
Furthermore, Watermelon has been rumored to be one of the few fruits which can help prevent prostate cancer.
According to a Study conducted by Harvard University, the consumption of red fruits such as watermelon and tomatoes leaves one with a much lesser risk of developing certain cancers, particularly Prostate Cancer.
On a related note regarding the prostate, men who may have been diagnosed with issues concerning this organ should keep this information in mind.
The colon, when not kept clean, collects waste material and presses against the prostate and bladder and can cause irritation and infections. Waste material can also enter the bloodstream and cause weakness in the prostate. Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), common in 1/3 of American men between the ages of 40-60 years old, is very common in American society today.
The prostate becomes enlarged and presses against the urethral canal and this back up in the kidneys will obstruct the bladder outlet and cause retention of urine.
Prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate) can block the flow of urine and cause frequent urination with a burning sensation, blood, and pus in the urine. Prostatitis is the result of too much acid in the prostate area stemming from a poor diet high in meats, dairy products and chicken eggs (ovum), beer and wine, sugar and salt, and cigarettes.
Now, with that being said, as it relates to cancer, the subject of this article, it should be noted that watermelon contains vitamins A and C, so this miracle fruit helps protect human cells and prevent cellular mutations. Because of this, eating Watermelon and other fruits rich in antioxidants can result in a protective field against certain cancers and any inflammatory or degenerative diseases.
Still, do not overestimate the health benefits of Watermelon: This fruit is NOT a miracle cure to cancer. Despite the fact that watermelon can provide a high level of protection against certain cancers, they (like any other fruit) cannot stop a serious form of cancer overnight…it may take some time, but don’t give in!
Nevertheless, again it is imperative that in treating (or preventing) cancer (or any degenerative disease for that matter…) people should avoid the following: all animal products, especially proteins and fats, i.e. no cooked meat, fat, eggs, milk, etc.; all refined sugars and starches; carbohydrates; oils; eat only fresh raw fruits and some leafy vegetables until the situation is cured!
Now, I have heard of The Grape Cure by Johanna Brandt and in reading the book, I have come away thinking a restricted diet on any juicy fruit should and could work towards curing cancer with the use of specific approaches which co-incidentally mirror the information elaborated upon in chapter 26 of this book.
Again, our system goes through a cleansing process from twelve midnight until twelve noon, and a building program from twelve noon to twelve midnight. Therefore, what is eaten during these respective periods must be harmonious with the natural processes.
So, keeping that in mind, when using a restricted fruit diet to combat cancer or any degenerative disease, your approach should involve 12 hours of fasting every day, followed by 12 hours where you consume absolutely nothing except mono OR PROPERLY combined fruits.
I will prefer a mono approach as outlined herewith:
SUMMER:
Breakfast: Lemonade (see chapter 14 of this text)
Lunch: Watermelons only
Dinner: Musk Melons like Cantaloupes, Honey dew OR Grapes Only.
WINTER:
Breakfast: Lemonade (see chapter 14 of this text)
Lunch: Tangerines, Oranges, Grapefruit only
Dinner: Apples, Grapes, Persimmons Only.
BY ALL MEANS FEEL FREE TO REFER TO THE SEASONAL CHART PROVIDED IN CHAPTER 25 OF THIS BOOK TO GET A GENERAL IDEA OF WHEN FRUITS ARE IN SEASON IN THE UNITED STATES.
Now, borrowing from the approach of the grape cure, to be technical there are two different “fasts” that occur every day in this diet. First there is the “lemonade fast” (which is only for 12 hours a day) which allows for ONLY the consumption of natural, purified water and fresh lemons.
The second type of “fast” is for the other 12 hours in a day being mainly a fruit fast. (However, I tend to shy away from labeling eating like this a fruit fast per se…no, anyone who is primarily fruitarian is simply going back to the basics on how mankind should eat in the first place!)
Now, the two daily “fasts” obviously do not starve the cancer cells to death, however, the “lemonade fast” does have a significant purpose.
1. The lemon juice helps purify the system (mainly the blood) and fight the cancer cells owing to the afore-mentioned properties in the lemons.
2. The lack of solid food makes the cancer cells “hungry,” and when the cells do get food, what they get is fruit fiber and juice which contain several major cancer killing nutrients, such as in the case of grapes:
1) ellagic acid,
2) catechin,
3) quercetin,
4) oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPC) or procyanidolic oligomers (PCO), originally called: pycnogenol (seeds),
5) resveratrol (skin coloring of purple grapes),
That is an incredible arsenal!
In other words, the water fasting is used to “trick” the cancer cells into consuming the first thing that comes along. The grapes become a great “transport agent” for getting the poisons just mentioned into the cancer cells, meaning the cancer cells “steal” these nutrients (which turn out to be poisonous to the cancer cells) from the normal cells!
Cancer cells thrive on sugar and grape juice is virtually pure “sugar.” The water fast makes the cells hungry and when the grape juice becomes available, the cancer cells gobble up the sugar in the grapes or grape juice. But as the cells are ingesting the juice they are also consuming things that are poisonous to them. Think of putting poison in chocolate and giving it to a hungry child. That is exactly what the lemonade fast, followed by the fruit will do to a cancer cell.
Cancer cells eat many times more of the glucose and other sugars than a regular cell does, plus it eats far more minerals and some other nutrients than a regular cell. Thus, the combination of consuming far more glucose, minerals and other nutrients, plus the (water) fasting, makes pretty much all fruits exceptional cancer-fighting foods. Also keep in mind that the lemonade is absolutely critical to this treatment, and should not be taken lightly!
So, a specified menu for dealing with Cancer could be as follows:
Week 1:
1. Have the prescribed lemonade in Chapter 14 for the daily breakfast.
2. For lunch and snacks and dinner (the last meal being no later than 10 pm if possible), a variety of seasonal, SEEDED fruits one at a time.
Week 2
1. You can do a 5 to 7-day fast by either
a. Taking things really easy and drinking lemonade and water (do be sure to get plenty of bed rest/fresh air when doing this
or
b. If you must remain somewhat active, using the juice recipe in the article on Fasting as provided in this text.
OR
2.-You can do 2 days of a just unflavored lemonade (which every one can handle), then 2 days of one kind of fruit only for lunch and dinner (e.g watermelons, apples or seeded organic grapes for lunch and dinner)
-Then follow these 4 days up with a variety of fruits (2-3 at kinds of fruits) in the hour or so spent on lunches and dinners, but being sure to eat only one kind of fruit at a time.
Then simply repeat this 2 week cycle over again until you see improvements in your health. However, I would strongly recommend a fasting program for about a week (just like the one described elsewhere in this book) after a week of eating just raw fruits, then eat raw fruits again for another week when having your lunches and dinners, then go for check up to see the status of the cancerous growth in the body. By, now there should be a drastic improvement to either encourage you to keep on till the body heals itself OR to see for yourself that you are indeed healed and you can keep on this diet for life to prevent any relapses.
At this stage, it is worth mentioning that in addition to other things, cancer thrives on every form of animal food – the more impure, the better. This in turn explains why people who suffer from it suffer from horrible and disgusting cravings for blood, beef and pork and rich blood-sausages, in addition to stimulating and highly seasoned foods. However, these are some of the same items that create new cancer cells and also weaken the immune system, therefore, to prevent cancer and to deal with it naturally; again you are advised to avoid ALL animal flesh and by-products.
Furthermore, another issue I would like to point out at this stage is as part of a curative and preventive strategy in dealing with cancer, do see to it that you STOP USING MICROWAVES! In fact, get rid of it right now if you have one at home!!
In Robert O. Becker’s book, The Body Electric, he described Russian research on the health effects of microwave radiation, which they called “microwave sickness.” On page 314, Becker states:
“It’s [Microwave sickness] first signs are low blood pressure and slow pulse. The later and most common manifestations are chronic excitation of the sympathetic nervous system [stress syndrome] and high blood pressure. This phase also often includes headache, dizziness, eye pain, sleeplessness, irritability, anxiety, stomach pain, nervous tension, inability to concentrate, hair loss, plus an increased incidence of appendicitis, cataracts, reproductive problems, and CANCER. The chronic symptoms are eventually succeeded by crisis of adrenal exhaustion and ischemic heart disease [the blockage of coronary arteries and heart attacks].”
So, microwaves could be linked to the second leading cause of death in the United States today i.e. Cancer.
Now, to conclude this article, for you or any of your loved ones who may have or have had OR want to prevent cancer, it is my sincere hope that with the information in this article as it applies to this book, you have now been equipped with exactly what to do.
