Natural Choices For Cancer

Oct 28, 2011 by Rosemary

Death due to cancer numbers more than 1500 every day in the United States. Research shows that cancer development is due to many factors especially environmental toxins, viruses and exposure to radiation. However, the first choice for fighting cancer in conventional medicine has changed little over the last 30 plus years; chemotherapy, radiation and surgery.

Don’t be scared into one option over another. Rather, base your decisions for good health on facts and your comfort. Your doctor will provide the modern medicine point of view.

Natural health options which exhibit fundamentally good common sense may provide a sound base on which to build good health, overcome cancer and maintain quality of life. Here are some natural health solutions to consider.

Nutrition. Often overlooked as a “therapy”, certain foods, when added conscientiously to a healthy diet, help promote better health. A diet high in fiber, fresh fruits and vegetables can provide a good foundation, especially when these foods have been a low priority. Added fiber helps move food through the intestines, eliminating harmful toxic build-up and fermentation. Choose organic foods as much as possible to avoid adding toxic chemicals, hormones and antibiotics.

Super foods- dark greens and fruits such as blueberries, gogi berries, acai and raspberries are high in antioxidants which fight cell damage. Certain mushrooms, such as hybrids from the Agaricus species, are potent immune system modulators. They add valuable enzymes and betaglucans to promote the production of Natural Killer Cells important for cancer fighting abilities. Tumeric has long been used as a potent antioxidant with cancer fighting properties as well.

Toxins, stress, sun exposure and poor diet choices create free radicals which damage cells and may cause genetic mistakes which could lead to cancer. Eating more of these super foods can help maintain good health and support a strong immune system.

Detoxify. Every day your body works hard to eliminate the toxins it encounters; the chemicals found in our food, water, homes and environment. Over time, your body filters can become clogged with heavy metals, garden chemicals, plastics, flame retardants and more. Toxins in your body can compromise your health, cause disease and interfere with normal body processes.

Even healthy people need to detoxify, but when disease strikes, safe detoxification becomes even more important. Contact me to learn more about how to detoxify. More articles on detoxification are coming soon. Subscribe to learn more.

Reiki energy healing. Reiki is a unique healing method in which the healer conducts Universal Life Force Energy to the intended recipient. In other words, through a gentle laying on of hands, or by no touch at all if you prefer, you can receive Reiki healing energy. Many cancer centers across the United States now offer Reiki as a part of their holistic approach to health. Regular Reiki sessions provide the greatest benefit as patients perceive a shift in their health progress, relax and feel better.
Reiki accelerates your body’s natural healing process on all levels:
- physical
- emotional
- spiritual

Don’t wait for cancer to become obvious before you promote good health. Prevention of disease has great value when faced with tough decisions. Knowing that you have natural solutions from which to choose can make all the difference.
