If you have been diagnosed with cancer these guidelines address the physical issues in your body, and they will see you through the emotional roller coaster, as well.

Natural Cancer Treatment Guidelines

1. First of all, every person has cancer cells in their body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable amount.

2. When the person’s immune system is strong, the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.

3. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to environmental, food and lifestyle factors.

4. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing the diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.

5.  Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.

6. Radiation, while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.

7. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.

8. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.

9. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy.  Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.

10. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.

CANCER CELLS FEED ON:

• Cancer cells love Sugar. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc., are made with chemicals such as Aspartame and are harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses but only in very small amounts.
• Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened rice, almond or coconut milk, cancer cells are being starved.
• Create an alkaline environment. Cancer cells thrive in an acidic body. A meat-based diet is acidic so it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat can also contain livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer. Most supermarkets provide organic meat choices, which contain no hormones or antibiotics, for those rare occasions you indulge.
• A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains (Quinoa, and brown rice), seeds, nuts and fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked foods like beans, fish and chicken. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. I say raw because enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).
• Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea and herb teas are better alternatives and have cancer-fighting properties. It is best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.

A Word about cooking methods:

-Microwaving kills the nutrients in your good, healthy, organic foods, so don’t use your microwave. Warming a meal on the stovetop is easy and foolproof. No hot spots or burnt edges.

-Pots and pans with Teflon coatings are poison, not only to your food, but they give off toxic fumes into the air as well. Choose stainless steel or cast iron, instead.

11. Optimal digestion is essential, so to reap all the nutrients from your all natural, organic, food, take digestive enzymes with each meal (Beano, for example). Besides, undigested food remaining in the intestines becomes putrefied and leads to more toxic buildup, which we want to avoid at all costs.
12. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating meat, you are freeing more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allowing the body’s killer cells to do their job as well.
13. These supplements give your immune system a natural boost (A food based multi vitamin, IP6, Essiac, Omega 3 fatty acids) and enable the body’s own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body’s normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.

If you choose to follow conventional cancer treatment, these vitamins will assist your body in undoing some of the harmful side effects of chemotherapy and radiation: CoQ 10, Vitamins A, C & E, selenium, folic acid and beta carotene are all antioxidants which studies have shown an increase in life expectancy.*

14. CBD- Your body has a cannabinoid system that is vital for the removal of free radicals and cancer cells. Cannabis was a part of the food chain until only 100 years ago, when it was outlawed. Cattle grazed on it, people ate it, and used it for medicine, since the beginning of time. A whole plant CBD oil is vital to immunity in general, but it is a miracle herb for the eradication of cancer, specifically. 60 grams in 90 days is optimal. Full dosage instructions and video demonstration of how to make it.

15. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment.  Exercising every day and deep breathing will help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.

16. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A cancer diagnosis is a spiritual ‘wake-up’ call from your higher self, or inner being. When the higher self is not being heard, this incredible intelligence will create situations in the body that cannot be ignored.

The body needs you to stop everything you’re doing – put the world on hold – then go within and ask for guidance. Ask, “What is your message? What am I supposed to be doing? How do I get back on track?”

There is only one thing we need to create perfection in our physical bodies, and our mental health; we need to find satisfaction in life. Satisfaction comes when we are moving in the direction of who we really are. So, if you feel stuck in a job or relationship, or if you are not expressing yourself in your job or relationship, and instead, spend your time and energy trying to please others, the physical body will react by creating a disease in order to call your attention back to yourself.

Transcendental Meditation has been used for centuries to restore health by clarifying the power of living in the moment, thus, raising the body’s vibration. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer patient heal. Anger, unforgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment which is the cause of disease, while having a loving and forgiving spirit creates an alkaline environment which is needed for healing. Learn to relax and enjoy life.

You CAN make yourself well! 😊
