Cure For Cancer

The controversy over whether a high-fibre diet can prevent colon cancer continues as two new studies suggest that it has a “substantial effect” on reducing the risk of the disease

In recent years, increasing attention has been paid to the intake of specific fats rather than total fat intake, and notable among these have been fish oils. Long-chain EPA and DHA, which are polyunsaturated omega-3 fats contained primarily in fatty fish, have been shown consistently to inhibit the proliferation of breast and prostate cancer cell lines in the test tube and to reduce the risk and progression of these tumors in animal experiments.

There are many good reasons to give large quantities of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) to a cancer patient. Ascorbic acid strengthens the collagen “glue” that holds healthy cells together and retards the spread of an existing tumor. The vitamin also greatly strengthens the immune system, and provides a surprising level of pain relief.

High Doses of Antioxidants Including Vitamin C Do Not Decrease the Efficacy of Chemotherapy

For over 15 years we have studied high dose intravenous ascorbic acid (IAA) as an adjunctive therapy for cancer patients. Initially, doses of 15 g per infusion were used, once or twice per week. These doses improved patient's sense of well being, reduced pain, and in many cases prolonged life beyond prognostications of oncologists.

Max Gerson, MD, started his professional life as a regular physician and ended it a quack. So did Edward Bach, MD. The first gave coffee enemas to cancer patients and the latter healed all manner of diseases with flowers. Both were fully trained scientists who turned their back on conventional medicine and never recanted.

Curcumin is a potent antioxidant with specific antiviral, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and cholesterol-lowering effects.

Many years ago ellagic acid was found to be the main active ingredient in the herbal supplement black walnut hulls. No one took much interest in this until about ten years ago when clinical studies started using ellagic acid on test animal in anti-cancer and other such tests. These studies have been published in such journals as Carcinogenesis, Cancer Letters, Japanese Journal of Cancer Research, Journal of Cellular Biochemistry, International Journal of Oncology, Nutrition and Cancer and others.

Fatty acids from fish oils and fatty fish can destroy the power station - the mitochondria- in certain types of cancer cells, making the cells commit suicide. These are the conclusions in a new thesis that Hilde Heimli at the Institute for Nutrition Research at the University of Oslo, in Norway, presented in October 2002. The study was supported by the Norwegian Cancer Society.

Over the last decade or so, researchers have added their findings to Grandma’s advice, concluding in one after another study that more vegetables in our diets help reduce our risk of heart disease, strokes, cancer and other ailments. So what’s new about eating our vegetables?

If you want to fend off colon cancer, consider bolstering your efforts with a folate supplement. In a recent study of people who were prone to developing colon polyps, people who took a daily folate, or folic acid, supplement were less likely to experience potentially cancerous cell changes in their polyps compared to people who did not take the supplement. Polyps are small intestinal growths that could become cancerous over time.

Vitamin E appears to protect against prostate cancer, and new research shows it may do so by interfering with two proteins that are associated with the disease.

A review of recent studies on the effect of nutrition on cancer survival and recurrence suggests that women with breast cancer who control their weight and maintain a healthy diet may live longer after their diagnosis than those who aren't health conscious.

Recent research reveals that certain compounds found in onions may have the ability to help prevent the spread of some types of cancer. In lab tests, quercetin, a polyphenol found in onions, was shown to inhibit pancreatic cancer growth in cell and animal studies. Quercetin also is found in the skins of apples.

Differences in the actions of omega-3 and omega-6 fats have been observed on these genes. Omega-3 fats have been described to reduce cancer cell growth and the omega-6 fats have been found to cause cancer growth.

People who have a parent or sibling with colon cancer can reduce their own chances of developing the disease by boosting their intake of folic acid and limiting their alcohol consumption, according to a new study.

Over the years scientists have been trying hard to find a cure for cancer, which is incurable and fatal unless detected in its early stage. Modern researchers say cancer treatment will gradually improve and perhaps in another 30 years we may have something that works for several cancers. Since cancer panacea is long way off according to modern scientists, it is high time we explore the remedies described in other medical systems, especially Ayurveda.

For those who are at this time afflicted with different forms of cancer (or with AIDS), the purpose of this article is to offer possible sources of hope and potential types of natural cures, whether you believe it or not, so that you may be better able to try to help yourself help yourself.

At HEAL we had many students with all forms of cancer. In these students we could see common patterns that led to cancer. Many of them had something traumatic happen to them before the cancer was diagnosed. This could be something that was physical or emotional. Most of them had a lot of stress in their lives and did not eat very healthy foods. All of these things led to a weakened immune system. From this and other information we began to see that cancer was most likely a virus that would lay dormant until some stress would lower the immune system, allowing the cancer to grow.

Breast cancer has risen dramatically in America by 50% since 1973 (Roe vs Wade) and is also increasing worldwide. Recent studies, have pointed out a dramatic relationship between the rate of abortion and the rising incidence of breast cancer. In fact, as the rate of abortion rises in America, so does the rate of breast cancer, with those women who have aborted having significantly higher rates.

Within a year, by 1896, physicians were using X-rays for diagnosis and as a new way of gathering evidence to protect themselves against malpractice suits. Almost immediately -- during 1895-96 -- it also became clear that X-rays could cause serious medical problems. Some physicians received burns that wouldn't heal, requiring amputation of their fingers. Others developed fatal cancers.

It was once considered a sign of health for kids to be a little on the plump side, but in today's world of junk food and empty calories, it means an increased risk of developing cancer.

Conclusive evidence (majority of cancers) that chemotherapy has any positive influence on survival or quality of life - none.

People whose immune systems are continually challenged (for example, by medications or by autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, or by other factors) seem to lose control of latent cancer-causing infections that may be caused by viruses such as the Epstein Barr virus.

The medical profession has come a long way since Hippocrates first said, "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food." Perhaps it's time to take a few steps back. A full third of the 563,000 cancer deaths the American Cancer Society predicts for 1999 will be nutrition-related. In fact, dietary choices are linked to 70 percent of all diseases affecting Americans, yet only 30 of 125 U.S. medical schools require doctors to take a nutrition course. In four years of school, the average physician gets only 2.5 hours of nutritional training...

My conclusion is that vitamin C must be a vital component of every cancer treatment program. I believe the other nutrients help, adding 20% to 30% to longevity.

"After breakfast, I visited Linus Pauling who was staying in the room next to mine. When I walked in he was busy with a hand calculator. I told him that on the basis of my fifty patients I had concluded that he and Dr. Cameron were right, that vitamin C in large doses did improve enormously the outcome of treatment for cancer."

one cannot cure very sick people by adding poisons to their systems. We cannot detoxify our bodies when we add poisons through our food which is one of the reasons why cancer is so much on the increase.

People with cancer are fairly often cured for no known reason. This is called spontaneous remission, and it happens every day. Somehow, the body has destroyed the cancer by itself. Anything we can do to encourage this is most worthwhile. One way we may be able to assist the body is with vitamins and other nutrients.

Hundreds of women have wondered why they have tumors and cysts in their bodies. The cause, according to Dr. Christopher, is potassium deficiency. When a patient takes plenty of potassium foods (not supplements) you can remove the cause of the cysts and tumors. Other foods, which are lower in potassium, must not be increased when you are trying to increase the potassium in the system.

Most cancer patients who are successful in healing cancer have used programs similar to this one, or just some parts of this program:

We Already Know That Cabbage-Family Foods Reduce Cancer Risk ... Now, Scientists Have Discovered the Active Ingredient – and it Works By Balancing Your Estrogen Metabolism

"You have cancer. You're going to die!" The doctors told me. "but they were wrong!" says Lorraine Day, M.D. "I refused mutilating surgery, chemotherapy and radiation, the treatment methods ALL physicians are taught, and got well by using God's natural remedies instead. "I'll tell you exactly how I did it!"

Although most experts admit that electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from appliances and powerlines have biological effects, the general consensus is that these fields do not cause disease. This belief is surprising, however, considering the ever-growing number of studies linking EMFs and illness. Now, recent investigations have revealed that low-level electromagnetic fields in homes can diminish or totally negate the effects of the widely prescribed anti-cancer drug tamoxifen, as well as the body's own cancer-fighting hormone, melatonin.

Trans fatty acids do not exist naturally in food; they are created when vegetable oils are partly hydrogenated to produce margarine and solid vegetable cooking fats. Trans fats can be found as ingredients in cookies, fried foods and many fast foods, and are added to some liquid vegetable oils to extend their shelf life. Nutritional labels are not required to indicate the presence of trans fats in foods, and they never do.

Women have been advised for years to do regular breast self-exams to detect breast cancer at an early stage, the point at which the disease is considered most curable. But a new study by researchers at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle suggests that such self-exams may be a waste of time.

Read about the politics of cancer, learn the truth about the cover-up for the cure for cancer, see the scientific facts that have never been told by the secular media and why, and learn what you can do to cure or prevent cancer yourself.

Following is a review of the scientific literature as it pertains to the impact of vitamin C on cancer. The questions, "What works?" and "How might it be applied?" were the motivational ones behind this review. As this one does, each review will include only well-designed studies from peer-reviewed journals. Original journal citations are given, along with capsule descriptions of the original scientific abstracts.

Turning to breast cancer, Dr. Sherman lists the known "risk factors" the common characteristics shared by many women who get breast cancer: early menarche (age at which menstruation begins); late menopause (age at which menstruation ends); late childbirth and the birth of few or no children; no experience breast-feeding; obesity; high fat diet; being tall; having cancer of the ovaries or uterus; use of oral contraceptives; excessive use of alcohol.

These herbal formulae and programs were developed and used by Dr. Richard Schulze in his now-famous clinic for almost two decades. Thousands of patients healed themselves of every disease and illness. Thousands more worldwide experienced "miracle cures".
