Natural remedies for treatment and avoidance of all types of cancer.

Cancer is now the second most common killer in the United States and steadily increasing. One in every three people will die from some form of it. Over 1400 Americans die each day with it.

  Cancer cells are wild, irregular, and different from other body cells. They grow rapidly and gradually invade and fill surrounding areas. They rob neighboring cells of nutrition, resulting in a gradual wasting away of the patient. They can migrate to new locations and multiply. Wherever they go, there are abnormal growth and tumors.

  Cancer cells are classified by the organs they initially invade (liver, breast, colon, lung, lip, etc). There are more than 100 different varieties of cancer. Each varies in its symptoms and how fast it spreads.

  There are main types of cancer: Carcinomas affect skin, mucous membranes, glands, and other organs. Leukemia are blood cancers. Sarcomas affect muscles, connective tissue, and bones. Lymphomas affect the lymphatic system.

  Early detection and treatment is vital. One person dies every 3 minutes from cancer.

  Dr. Otto Warburg, Nobel Prize Winner, stated: “More is known about the cause and prevention of cancer than most any other disease.”

  Dr. Ronald Raven, Chairman of the Royal College of Surgeons in London, made this comment: “Seventy-five percent of all cancer can be prevented if we utilize the facts we now possess.”

  At the English International Cancer Congress, Dr. Kavetsky said: “It is essential in the treatment of tumorous disease, not only to act on the tumor, but to endeavor to strengthen the compensatory and defensive reaction of the entire system.”

SYMPTOMS

The most common symptoms of cancer: any sore that does not heal on the skin, mouth, tongue, or lips. Any irregular or unusual bleeding or discharge from any body opening. A persistent change from normal in the action of the bowels or bladder. Any persistent lump or thickening in breast or anywhere on the body. Hoarseness or nagging cough. Difficulty in swallowing. Persistent indigestion or loss of appetite, especially if accompanied by loss of weight. Sudden or rapid changes in the form, appearance, or rate of growth of a mole or wart, or if it bleeds. Persistent fatigue.

  To the basic eight cancer signs, listed above, can be added three others which are also important: any condition which does not respond to treatment, inflammation from blood clotting (thrombophlebitis), and putrid intestinal gas.

1.   Skin cancer: A lump under the skin, moles which change color or size and have raised edges, an ulcer which does not heal, flat sores, lesions which look like moles.

2. Mouth or throat: Chronic ulcer of the mouth, tongue, or throat which does not heal.

3.   Larynx: Persistent cough and hoarse throat.

4.   Lung: Persistent cough, bloody sputum, and chest pain.

5.   Breast: Lump which is hard, does not go away, and does not move; inflammation or thickening of the skin.

6. Leukemia: Whiteness of skin, weight loss, fatigue, repeated infections, easy bruising, nosebleeds.

7.   Stomach: Indigestion and pain after eating.

8. Bladder and kidney: Blood in urine and increased urination frequency. Bloody urine is generally not a cancer symptom, but it can be.

9.    Ovaries: Usually there are no obvious symptoms until later stages.

10.Endometrium: Bleeding between menstrual periods, unusual discharge, painful periods, heavy periods.

11.Cervical and Uterine: Bleeding between periods, unusual discharge, painful periods, heavy periods.

12. Prostate: Weak or interrupted urine flow. Continuous pain in lower back, pelvis, and/or upper thighs.

13. Testicles: Enlargement of a testicle, lumps, thickening of the scrotum, sudden excess of fluid in the scrotum, and mild ache in the lower abdomen or groin.

14. Colon: Blood in stools, rectal bleeding, changes in bowel habits (diarrhea and/or constipation)

15. Lymphoid Tissue: Enlarged, rubbery, lymph nodes. Also itching, night sweats, unexplained fever, and/or weight loss.

CAUSES:

  When a cancer becomes noticed, it is already far advanced. By the time a person has reached that stage, it is important that he place himself under the care of a competent physician who understands and uses nutritional therapy. However, he needs to understand, for himself, what is required and what he must do. There are situations in which a cancer victim has no one to help him, and he must carry out such a program entirely on his own.

  But, whatever helped by others or going it alone, unless the individual fully cooperates with right principles, he cannot successfully be helped. He must cease his violations of the natural laws, given by God to mankind, and live fully in accordance with them.

  The type of food we eat, the way we live, and environmental factors gradually build up or weaken the body. If the organs of elimination cannot cope with the amount of toxic waste we are producing, in desperation the body eventually turns to the formation of tumors and cancers. Soft cancers are cells gone wild because of the excess waste in the system. Hard tumors are garbage vans prepared to hold the toxic waste.

   Cancer generally has a lengthy incubation period of years. Nourishing the body, building up the immune system, and avoiding excess and debilitating substances enables the body to resist cancer.

  Because of intemperate living, eating, sleeping, combined with stress, the body is gradually weakened over a period of many years. This produces a chronic auto-intoxication. Poisons have accumulated in the body. Vital organs, whose job it is to purify and eliminate wastes (primarily the skin, lungs, liver, kidneys, and bowels), become less active and efficient. The system becomes poisoned. These poisons accumulate around the weakest organs or where the body has been injured by a bruise, fall, or blow. The accumulated poisons from years of tea, coffee, tobacco, cola, meat, liquor, fried food, etc., are sent over to the weakened area. Then the body tries to build garbage cans (tumors), to hold the waste products, or the cells in that area go wild from the irritation and begin multiplying. Either way, eventually the cancer cells spill out and spread. It is well-known that irritation, such as always picking at a certain spot, can induce cancer.

   Unfortunately, there are also toxic substances in air, water, and soil. Chemicals, food additives, pesticides, air pollution, etc., make it all the more crucial that we live as carefully as we can.

   Prevention of cancer requires effort; yet many people give more attention to caring for their prize dogs or their new cars. It is far important, for your future, that you give your body the most careful attention.

   Drs. Hans Nieper and Dean Burk stated that, by the time the tumor is present, a patient’s malignancy is already far advanced. As noted earlier, a tumor is something of a strange parasite which has a little as 2% of normal blood circulation. Its cells are living on sugar fermentation instead of oxygen as normal cells do. It is more like a plant or fungus.

   Here are two interesting facts: (1) The U.S. Government declares that the five-year survival rate from taking the officially authorized cancer remedies (chemotherapy, surgery, or radiation) has not changed over the past 20 years. (2) Statistics reveal that patients who do not take officially authorized therapy will, as a group, survive longer than those who do. (3) There is only one form of cancer which the medical community is effectively treating, and that is skin cancer. In all other forms, the death rate is extremely high; that is, within five years after authorized treatment, most of the patients die.

   A problem with the cut, burn, and poison routes is their deadly nature. Chemotherapy, for example, produces hair loss, extreme nausea, vomiting, fatigue, weakness, sterility. It also damages the liver, kidneys, and heart. Both chemotherapy and radiation treatments are designed to kill cancer cells a little faster than they are killing or weakening other cells. The effect of this greatly debilitates the entire person and his immune system. Reputable natural remedies cancer specialists, such as those at the Gerson Institute, tell us that it is far more difficult to recover a person from cancer who has previously undergone chemotherapy or radiation treatments.

   What should you do? That is your decision. Fortunately, you have a right to decide for yourself. However, you should know that the government and the medical association advises that you should never treat yourself for cancer. Their counsel is that you consult a medical doctor (M.D) and follow his advice. Not to do so, they say, could result in your death.

   Cancer has been reported to badly under-diagnosed. In one autopsy review of those found with malignancies, over half of the deaths were caused by undiagnosed cancer.

   Cancer is a systematic disease, affecting the entire body and caused by conditions in the entire person. So it cannot be treated by specifics. An entire change is one’s way of life is required.

NATURAL REMEDIES

PREVENTION AND TREATMENT

·         It is easier to prevent cancer than to treat it. Many things which prevent it (and many are discussed in this article) help safeguard all of us. But, once contracted, some treatments help one person more than another. So prevention is the best way to deal with cancer. Eat right and live temperately.

“About 80% of cancer cases appear to be linked to the way people live their lives. For example, whether or not you smoke, the foods you eat, and certain industrial pollutants all affect your likelihood of getting cancer. The role of diet in the cause and prevention of cancer is particularly important. About 35% of cancer deaths may be associated with dietary influences.”- National Cancer Institute, press bureau, October 1990.

·         The NCI press bureau goes on to list seven things you must do to avoid contracting cancer:

      “1. Avoid obesity: If you are 40% or more overweight, you increase your risk of colon, breast, prostate, gallbladder, ovary, and uterine cancer.

      “2. Cut down on total fat intake. High-fat intake may be a factor in the development of certain cancers (particularly breast, colon, and prostate). By avoiding fatty foods, you are better able to control body weight.

      “3. Eat more high-fiber foods. These include whole grain breads and cereals, fruits, vegetables, and legumes (such as dry peas and beans). These foods may help to reduce the risk of colon cancer. Furthermore, high-fiber foods are a wholesome substitution for fatty foods.

      “4. Include foods rich in vitamins A and C. Favorable foods are dark-green and deep yellow fresh vegetables and fruits, such as carrots, yams, peaches, and apricots for beta-carotene, the precursor of vitamin A. Also use oranges, grapefruits, strawberries, and green and red peppers for vitamin C. These foods may help lower risk for cancers of the larynx, esophagus, and the lungs.

      “5. Daily intake of cruciferous vegetables. These are cabbage, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, kohlrabi, cauliflower, and others. They have ingredients that build resistance to certain cancer.

      “6. Avoid salt-curved, smoked, or nitrite-cured foods. Among those who eat these foods frequently, there is more incidence of cancer of the esophagus and stomach.

      “7. Keep alcohol consumption moderate if you must drink. Heavy use of alcohol, especially when accompanied by cigarette smoking or smokeless tobacco, increase risk of cancer of the mouth, larynx, throat, esophagus, lung, and liver.

NUTRITION

·         The person must return to a good diet and the avoidance of various pollutants and drugs which caused the problem. Anger and hate must be replaced by cheerfulness and happiness.

·         Eat a high-fiber, plant-based diet. Take 16-24 oz. of fresh vegetables juice daily. And get regular exercise.

·         The best cancer-fighting foods include:

   Carotene-rich foods: Carrots, yams, green vegetables, tomatoes. This includes all fruits that are red, orange, and yellow.

   Antioxidant-rich foods: garlic, onions, broccoli, wheat germ, sea vegetables, and leafy vegetables.

   Steamed cruciferous vegetables: broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, kale.

   Protease inhibitors: beans (especially soy), rice, potatoes, corn

   High-fiber foods: Whole grains (especially brown rice), fruits and vegetables.

   Lignan foods: Flax-seed oil, walnuts.

·         Broccoli and dark leafy greens are outstanding foods. They contain lutein, which is an anticancer agent. Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and cauliflower contain D-glucaric acid which reduces various cancers. Research shows that eating high levels of antioxidant foods provides a strong protection against cancer.

·         Other very good foods include apples, berries, Brazil nuts, cherries, legumes (including lentils), oranges, plums.

·         Daily drink juice from raw carrots, beets, cabbages, and a lesser amount of asparagus. Raw garlic is powerful. Blend in tomato (or v-8) juice and drink. Let crushed garlic set out (in the air at room temperature) for 10 minutes, before putting it in the juice. This seems to increase its potency. Only drink distilled water.

·         Eat raw apricot kernels daily. If you cannot obtain it, substitutes with almonds, apple seeds, or peach kernels. They all contain laetrile, a cancer-fighting agent.

·         Eat a little seaweed daily. Eat tomatoes; they contain lycopene, an antioxidant, which protects against cancer.

·         Cherries (especially tart ones) contain anthocyanins which, by their antioxidant action, prevent cancer and heart.

·         The only added sweetening should be a little honey or black-strap molasses.

·         Soybeans contain genistein and diadzein, two isoflavones which are antioxidants and protect against most forms of cancer.

FOODS TO AVOID

·         Do not eat any kind of meat.

·         Do not eat dairy products, salt, sugar, peanuts, or white flour. No processed, refined, junk, or fried foods. The chloride in salt is the problem. Milk contains saturated fat. Milk sugar (lactose and galactose) can cause ovarian cancer.

·         Do not use aluminum cooking utensils; instead use stainless steel ( or glass in oven)

NUTRIENTS.

·         Nutritional supplements would include:

·         Vitamin C: 3,000-12,000 mg daily, in divided dosages.

·         Vitamin E: 400-800 IU daily.

·         Flax-seed oil: 2 tsp. 3 times daily, because of its Lignan and high omega-3 contents.

·         Carotene complex: 50,000-100,000 IU daily.

·         Coenzyme: 150-300 mg daily.

·         Vitamin C and E decrease the oxidation of body fats. Vitamin B₆ (inositol) helps prevent and shrink tumors. Niacin has a similar effect. Calcium is a preventive factor against cancer. Selenium (not over 200 mcg daily) is also helpful.

·         Do not take supplemental iron. It encourages the growth of cancer cells.

HERBS

·         Cancer-fighting herbs include pau d’arco tea (cups daily), garlic (6-10 cloves, daily), ginseng, licorice root. Comfrey is good; but it should only be applied externally.

·         Essiac tea has been used for decades, in Canada and more recently the U.S and Europe, to eliminate cancer.

·         Citrus pectin inhabits growth of cancer cells; it is especially useful against skin and prostate cancers.

·         Ojibwa herbal tea is used to reduce cancer. This American Indian combination includes burdock root, slippery elm bark, sheep sorrel, and turkey rhubarb root.

·         Herbs which increase immune function and have antitumor factors are olive leaf extract and ginkgo biloba. Also included in this list is cat’s claw (but not be used during pregnancy).

·         Antioxidant herbs include turmeric. It contains curcuma, which helps protect against cancer and inhibit growth of cancer cells.

·         Herbs which reduce the effects of chemotherapy and radiation: Alternate the following: Astragus, echinaciea / golden-seal root capsules, burdock root, chaparral, dandelion, milk thistle, red clover, birch, suma.

AVOID

·         Avoid synthetic hormones, particularly estrogen, x-rays, alcohol, and caffeine. And avoid tobacco in all forms.

·         Avoid dangerous chemicals, such as are found in insecticides (an important cause of cancer), fresh paints, cleaning compounds, hair sprays, waxes, cosmetics. And beware of ingredients in auto products, art and craft supplies, pet supplies, foods and beverages.

·         Medical drugs and street drugs are additional sources of trouble. Regular exposure to secondhand smoke can increase a nonsmoker’s chance of getting cancer by 30%.

·         Keep your weight down. Obesity in men can contribute to colon and rectal cancer; in women, it has been linked to gallbladder, breast, cervical, and uterine cancer. Fat disrupts the level of sex hormones in the body. The greater the amount of a woman’s body fat, the higher will be her levels of stored estrogen. Estrogen stimulates breast and productive cells to divide.

·         Tap water contains chlorine, fluorine, and may contain radium. Fluoride, a risk factor for cancer, is in toothpaste, tap water, and every product made with tap water. Therefore, as mentioned earlier, only drink distilled water.

·         Check the radon level in your home. Test kits for this radioactive gas can be purchased. If found, seal lower cracks, and increase upper ventilation to the outside.

·         Do not sit close to TV screens and do not use microwave ovens. Both produce radiation. If you sit at a computer, install a quality radiation screen.

·         Avoid living or working near a high-voltage power line; it may induce cancer.

OTHER HELPS

·         Especially for cancer of the internal organs, get some sunlight on the body every day possible. It reduces the risk of breast, colon, and prostate cancer.

·         Exercise regularly outdoors. No healing program will succeed without some exercise.

·         If you are able to do so, move to a rural home where the air is fresh and not polluted with auto and factory pollutants.

·         Breast-fed children have a lower rate of leukemia.

SAMPLE RESEARCH STUDIES

Research studies have found many factors which lead to the formation of cancer. Here are a couple samples:

·         A 12-year research study of more than 5,000 vegetarians and over 6,000 meat eaters found that vegetarian diets reduce risk of death from all causes, including cancer. People who ate no meat had 40% lower risk of dying from cancer and a 20% lower risk than meat eaters dying from any cause. (Margaret Thorogood, Ph.D., coauthored the study.)

·         A Harvard follow-up study of nearly 48,000 men, aged 40-75, found that fat helps tumors grow more quickly. A diet as low as possible in saturated fat was recommended. The leading sources of saturated fat are beef, pork, processed meats, whole milk, dairy products, and fats and oils (such as butter, margarine, and mayonnaise).

·         It has repeatedly been found that eating meat fat is a cause of cancer. But a Harvard study found that even eating red meat (with much less fat content) was also dangerous. A 6-year study of almost 90,000 women found that those who eat red meat as a main dish each day were 2 ½ times more likely to have colon cancer than those who seldom, or never eat, ate meat. Other studies revealed that frequent consumption of meat is also associated with an increased risk of breast cancer, according to Harvard School of Public Health.

It is remarkable how many natural remedies there are! Here are but a few samples, from among many which could be cited, which either prevent or eliminate various forms of cancer:

·         A recent study of a group of seventh-day Adventists found that men who ate at least five times tomatoes a week had a 40% lower risk of developing prostate cancer. It is believed that pigment (lycopene) found in tomatoes is the key factor. It is chemically similar to beta-carotene in carrots, which is also a cancer fighter (Edward L. Giovannuci, M.D., Harvard Medical School.

·         Forty-four cats were given a feline leukemia virus so lethal that, once cats develop clinical symptoms, 70% are dead with 8 weeks and the rest soon after. Acemannan, found Aloe Vera and a potent immunostimulant, was then injected into the cats for 6 weeks and then reexamined 6 weeks later. By that time, 71% of the cats were alive and in good health (Molecular Bio-therapy, 3(1):41-5, 1991).

·         Berberine, found in golden-seal Oregon grape root and barberry root bark, has been used in china, since 1972, in the treatment of cancer. Several research studies have found that berberine shows potent anti-tumor activity against brain, and other, tumors. Three studies could be cited. (One is from Chinese medical journal, 103(3):658-65, 1990)

·         Bromelain (the proteolytic enzyme in pineapple), when added to the diet, decreased metastases in lung cancers. Six studies could be cited. (One is cancer Investigation 6(2):241-2, 1988).

·         Chaparral (creosote bush) is an evergreen desert shrub. Its primary anticancer chemical is a potent antioxidant. Research studies reveal that, when used with care, this plant reduces tumors. Attention to chaparral for this purpose began in 1969, when a man with a known malignant melanoma of the right check (with large metastasis) treated himself for a year with chaparral tea (cancer chemotherapy report, 53:147-51, 1969).

·         Chlorella, green algae that grows in freshwater, was added to the diet of 21 patients treated for malignant brain tumors. Two years after treatment, 7 patients were alive and showing no reappearance of their tumors. (Phytotherapy reports 4(6):220-31, 1991).

·         Coumarin is a component of several anticancer herbs (including dong equal, sweet clover, and red clover). Eight studies could be cited, which demonstrate its ability to shrink and eliminate cancers (one study is Molecular Bio-therapy, 3:170-8, 1991). (Note: coumarin should not be confused with Coumadin, also known as warfarin; this is rat poison used to thin the blood).

·         An extract of Echinacea was given to patients, who were actively receiving massive does of medical cancer drugs. Patients generally lived longer than they otherwise would have; some did not die. Four studies could be cited. (One is cancer Investigation 10(5):343-8.)

·         Remarkable rates of death to cancer cells were experienced by patients receiving garlic. Seventeen studies could be cited (one is journal National Cancer Institute, 81(2):162-4, 1989). Garlic appears to exert its effects by “direct action on tumor cell metabolism, inhibition of the initiation and promotion phase of cancer, and modulation of the host immune response” (Nutritional Reports, 10-937-48, 1990).

·         LaPacho, a tree in Brazil, also known as pau d’ arco or tahebo has a long history of use by Brazilians in the treatment of cancer. The major active component is lapachol. Four studies could be cited (one is Revista do Instituto de Antibioticos, 20:61-8, 1980/81, in which all 9 patients experienced a shrinkage of tumors.) Note: Two Canadian studies revealed that many commercially sold pau d’arco products contained no lapachol (Canadian Health Protection Branch: Information letter, 726, August 13, 1987).

·         Mistletoe has been widely used in Europe for cancer therapy. They are injected because they are not absorbed if taken orally. Seven reports could be cited. (One is Journal Ethnopharmacol, 29:35-41, 1990).

·         Chinese or Korean ginseng is another inhibitor of cancer development. Nine studies could be cited. (One is Bio-therapy, 4(2):117-28, 1992.)

·         An extract of a seaweed (undaria pinnantifida) stimulates immunological processes, including macro-phage activity and anti-tumor effectiveness (Cancer letter, 50:71-8, 1990)

·         Shiitake mushrooms are an important part of Japanese diets; they are well-known for their protection against cancer. One of its components, lentinan, is used in cancer treatment in that nation. But it must be injected. Four studies could be cited. (One is Cancer Detection Previews (supplement), 1:333-49, 1987.)

Turmeric and its major active component, curcumin, exerts powerful antioxidant effects; it is helpful in the treatment of cancer, according to three studies. (One is Cancer Letter, 29:2002,1985.)
