Vital Steps For Fighting Breast Cancer

Whether you've been diagnosed with breast cancer or just want to prevent it, there are steps you should be taking to improve the terrain of your breasts. Self-examination is always advisable, and in most instances will find any "lumps" just as soon as a harmful mammogram will.

Add to that, a HEALTHY diet--which means at least six servings of fruits and vegetables daily. Eliminate sugar from your diet. Stevia is an all natural sweetener and, in most cases, can be found at your local grocery store. Eliminate white flour from your diet (which includes any white bread...a whole grain bread with no preservatives is much healthier and can be found in the frozen foods section).

Drink green tea instead of coffee...eliminate carbonated drinks from your diet. Green tea has EGCG, which has an anti-tumor effect on breast cancer cells (sweeten with Stevia or organic honey). Incorporate broccoli into your diet...the more the better. If you can not stand broccoli, opt for a supplement of a "super greens" food from your local health food store. One or two tablespoons added to fruit juice will give you the same benefit with additional healthy vitamins. Be sure your "super greens" incorporate chlorella and spirulina in them. Get all the information you need on these two super greens by reading Super Foods For Optimum Health.

I would also take a selenium supplement. Selenium is a mineral that is normally found in our soil and is passed onto us through the foods that are grown in that soil. Unfortunately, much of our soil is depleted of selenium and therefore, our foods are also. Selenium has been found in numerous clinical trials to reduce breast tumor sizes by as much as 44 percent. It also has reduced the size of prostate tumors.

Up your lignan intake, either by supplement or through food. Studies have shown that those countries that have a higher daily lignan intake, also have lower breast cancer rates. A great source of lignans is flaxseed. Do you think Johanna Budwig and her Budwig diet which incorporated low fat cottage cheese and flaxseed oil might have had some merit? Dr. Budwig was nominated for six nobel prizes, yet when she cured many cancers through her non-mainstream medicine methods, she was ridiculed.

Incorporating the above suggestions into your diet (with plenty of water to expel toxins, etc.), should put you well on your way to stopping and/or eliminating breast cancer as a threat to your health.

There are additional steps you should be taking depending on the stage of cancer that has been diagnosed. Detailed steps with exact amounts of supplementation as well as the Budwig recipe can be found in Cancer - Step Outside The Box.

H2O and Cancer

This actually should have been one of my first posts, due to it's importance. Our bodies are comprised of 75 percent water. Our brains consist of 85 percent water. There are more illnesses caused by dehydration than any other deficiency. One of the first things they do when you are admitted to a hospital is administer an IV. What's in that IV? Water and salt which is called "saline solution".

Your water intake while you are fighting cancer (or preventing it) is vitally important. Not just any water though...city water with chlorine and fluoride is not a good choice. If you are detoxing or taking supplements to fight this disease, you need to assist your body and the minerals and vitamins you are taking to "flush" the bad cells out by keeping your body hydrated.

Half of your body weight in ounces of water is a good recommendation. If you're not currently a water drinker...proceed with a plan of gradually increasing your water intake to the recommended level. All sodas, coffee, and any drink with caffeine should be eliminated. Caffeine dehydrates.

If you find that you are releasing water as fast as you are taking it in, then your cells don't have the time to absorb the water. Adding some natural sea salt (about 1/8-1/4 tsp. per 16 oz. of water), should help you retain it longer. You should be retaining it for 90-120 minutes for good absorption into the cells.

Once you are no longer dehydrated, you will find a significant difference in how you feel and look, your body doesn't have to work as hard to expel toxins and bad cells, you think clearer, breathe easier and a whole host of other benefits will be your reward.

Fighting cancer is not an easy process when you're use to today's lifestyle, but it is do-able. Being hydrated should be one of your first steps.

Read more about the other illnesses dehydration causes at WaterCure2, a very informative site with many references and testimonies from people who turned around their illness with hydration alone.

Breast Cancer - New Non-Invasive Therapy

There is a new therapy being administered by a clinic in Arkansas that is having very promising results. They are using laser, which is not a new method...it's the protocol or method by which they use it that is different.

Using an enhancer agent that is injected into the tumor site in the breast, the agent spreads throughout the cancer growth to "enhance" just those cells. The laser is then used and applied to those cells. The laser actually raises the temperature of the cancer cells and kills them with the high temperature. Depending on the size of the tumor, it may take several sessions, done on a daily basis, to kill all of the cancerous cells.

Once the therapy is complete, you body goes to work, through your immune system to remove these dead cells from your body. You will still need to go for follow-up tests every three months with your own physician to ensure and prove that this is taking place. No chemotherapy, no radiation, no blood loss, no excessive healing time from a major surgery, no drugs.

Unlike your typical slash and burn procedures, should your cancer reoccur, the procedure can be done again with very little harm to your body since your immune system has never been compromised from previous chemo and radiation.

I have sent this information to my sisters that have been affected by breast cancer.
You can view the information and send for a brochure from Lase Med Inc.

Here is a testimony (besides the ones on their web site) from a lady who traveled from Canada to have this therapy.

They have also used it on skin cancers with good success. As time goes on, we will see what other types of cancers they will find that it can successfully be used.

I don't know why news like this hasn't been communicated through all the newspapers and TV stations throughout the world! Wait a minute...yes, I do know...and you should by now too!

MMS And Detoxing

I have no idea how many people have heard of this simple method for getting rid of "nasties" that are floating around in your body and causing all kinds of havoc to your health. I just recently came across this inexpensive product that I believe each and every adult should keep a supply of for general health purposes as well as to combat many illnesses that may occur in your lifetime.

The product is called MMS and is proving to be very effective towards all kinds of ailments. It was originally used in Africa to cure malaria by Jim Humble. The malaria patients were usually cured within 24 hours of being administered one dose. Severe cases sometimes took two doses.

They have also had some pretty good results in administering it to AIDS patients in Africa. These have been patients that conventional medicine has given up on...in these cases, they figured, "What the heck...I've nothing to lose." Sixty percent of the AIDS patients were able to return to normal life after being given high doses of the MMS. That's not too bad for people who were given up on entirely by conventional medicine.

The results for cancer victims have not yet been seen. They have had reports of some success with prostate cancer but feel most people are not reporting there successes because once they get well, they are too busy living happy lives to take the time to report back on their results. There is a video on YouTube that has a gentleman who successfully stopped his prostate cancer three years ago. He has now been diagnosed with lung cancer and has started taking the recommended higher dosage to combat that and feels confident he will succeed.

What is MMS? It's sodium chlorite that when activated by using a citric acid (such as lemon or lime juice), produces a chemical called chlorine dioxide. Chlorine dioxide is a totally different chemical than just "chlorine", so don't start thinking you're going to be ingesting a poisonous chemical.

Chlorine dioxide has been found to be more effective against viruses, bacteria, and protozoa than chlorine. "Chlorine dioxide can be used to kill "disease-bearing bacteria, yeasts, molds, fungi and algae", including MRSA and other deadly pathogens."

It is completely safe to ingest and is very beneficial in removing toxins, bacteria, viruses, and fungi from your entire body. The really great part is when it comes in contact with these substances, it instantaneously "bursts", kills the bad guys and your body flushes it all out! If there are no bad guys, no problem, it does absolutely no harm to any "good guys" in your system. It will then just boost your immune system by changing to another product that your body needs.

Now the side affects....none! Well, if you are currently sick with anything, you're probably going to get sicker due to the MMS doing it's job. This includes diarrhea, nausea, possible vomiting, etc. That's all good...because it is proof that it's doing it's job!

If you don't really have an illness but want to rid these things out of your body, just do smaller doses so that it doesn't make you nauseous. The protocol and step by step instructions as well as other links to testimonies can be found at:

Miracle Mineral

There's also a link for you to download the first part of Mr. Humble's book all about this product. If you want the second part that gives more detail of other illnesses (other than malaria) that it has been used for...there is a small charge of $9.95 for the ebook. You can get it in print for $19.95 plus s/h. He makes no money from the actual product.

Sister's Breast Cancer - Update

I have really had to take time to calm down and assess my own feelings about the steps that are being considered by my younger sister. I don't know where she is getting her information from...wait a minute...I do know. Apparently, the mainstream medical industry thinks it is justifiable to have both breasts removed! Even though, at this point, only one breast has been found to have a tumor, which was removed, treated with chemotherapy and at this time we're waiting to see if any more cancer appears in test results before performing a mastectomy.

They have told her that since she carries a gene that predisposes her to breast cancer, her risks of developing cancer in the other breast (some time in the future) are high. Therefore, it is not unreasonable to consider having the other breast removed at the same time the first is removed (if that proves to be needed)!

Nothing is mentioned about proper nutrition and adding exercise to her regime to prevent a future problem. Nothing is mentioned about eliminating bad foods, toxins from her environment, stress...etc. Which leads me to believe that she is just another "number" to add to their lists of guinea pigs for the drugs and procedures that they endorse but have no real numbers to show as cures. A five year survival rate is not a cure!

Their own numbers show that if she doesn't die from cancer (which means they cured her),. she's apt to die from another problem that was caused by their procedures of treating her. Chemotherapy alone destroys the immune system. So if she were to die from a virus because her immune system was destroyed, I guess they can then say...cancer wasn't the cause of her death!

What's wrong with this picture?

Not only that, what if she were to never develop cancer in the other breast? Than she's had a disfiguring operation for what purpose? OR they remove both breasts and she then develops cancer in some other part of her body? Was the cancer procedures for the breast then considered a cure?

Because of "their" recommendations, my sister is researching their suggestion. I just wish she would spend more time researching what they are not telling her. Yes, she is overweight...yes, her nutrition leaves a lot to be desired...yes, she has a sedentary lifestyle. Ultimately, I have to accept her decision and love her in spite of it. But I sure wish (and pray) that something will reach her to make her understand the role she has played into this disease and that it's under her control to reverse it without harmful chemicals and toxins.

A lifestyle change...you bet...but one I feel that would hold a whole new outcome and longer future for her.

Defensive Cancer Actions - Super Greens Chlorella & Spirulina

I know I've touched on this before but find it vitally important to again reiterate and perhaps more fully explain the reasons you should be adding these to your arsenal of cancer fighting steps.

Let's explain what Spirulina is and what it does:

Spirulina is a blue-green algae found in most ponds and lakes. It has been consumed for years by Mexicans, African and Asian people. It is considered a complete protein because well over half of it is consisted of amino acids. It is also a rich source of the complex B vitamins, beta-carotene, vitamin E, carotenoids, manganese, zinc, copper, iron, selenium, and gamma linolenic acid (an essential fatty acid). Because it stimulates the immune system, it may have antiviral and anticancer effects.

It was shown in Russia that children exposed to the nuclear disaster at Chernobyl, and whose bone marrow was damaged, their immune system was greatly boosted by Spirulina.

In a study of 87 people who chewed tobacco with signs of precancerous mouth lesions, patients were either given Spirulina or a placebo. Lesions in the Spirulina group were more likely to disappear.

There are numerous other studies that have been done some of which are reported here:
HEAL

Just by doing a search on the internet, you will find many, many more positive study results on this super food.

Now on to Chlorella, which like Spirulina, is a blue-green algae found in fresh water. It is a powerful de-toxifier, as well as an immune boosting supplement. I'm not able to say it better than some experts, so I'll just post their comments here:

"Chlorella. A freshwater single-celled green algae consisting of 60 percent protein, high levels of chlorophyll and vitamin A, and dozens of other nutrients. It's being researched as both an antiaging supplement and a cancer preventive."
Power Aging by Gary Null, page 149

"I also recommend the use of chlorella and/or Green Magma as a twice-daily green drink. Chlorella is a highly nutritive one-celled blue-green algae that is a powerful immune system stimulant that has also demonstrated anti-tumor effects. Research has shown that chlorella is able to repair the DNA system and increase serum albumin levels."
Treating Cancer With Herbs by Michael Tierra ND, page 304

"A chlorella extract has demonstrated antitumor and antime-tastatic effects in animal experiments. Chlorella has shown some experimental antiatherogenic activity and some radio-protective and chemo-detoxifying effects. It has shown some preliminary benefit in immune function and in some with fibromyalgia."
PDR For Nutritional Supplements by Sheldon Saul Hendle and David Rorvik, page 89

"In 1990, a study on chlorella was performed at the Medical College of Virginia. Fifteen glioblastoma patients were administered 20 grams of powdered chlorella and 150 ml of liquid chlorella, in some cases combined with standard chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. There was a significant increase in health and immune status immediately, and a striking 40 percent two-year survival rate was reflected in follow-up studies. This is extremely rare for this type of tumor, which normally might yield a 10 percent survival rate after two years."
Herbal Medicine Healing Cancer by Donald R Yance Jr, page 232

Chlorella has been shown, with regular use, to detoxify the body, regulate blood sugar, normalize blood pressure, build your immune system, clean the blood stream, protect the liver, help heal wounds faster...on and on and on. That's why it's called a super-green food!

Anyone who is facing cancer or has a history of cancer in their family, should be implementing these two super-greens into their diet immediately. Even if you go the conventional medicine route, adding these to your treatment can only increase your odds for a better outcome. It's well known that chemo and radiation destroy the immune system, so here are two inexpensive ways to boost that system. The sooner you get these into your system, the better!

Review: Cancer - Step Outside The Box

One of the best books I have read on the subject of cancer, it's causes, and how to address treating it in the least harmful way to your body (no chemotherapy or radiation). In my search for answers, due to three siblings in the last few years being diagnosed with the disease, I've read numerous information sites on the internet and have purchased several books to become more knowledgeable on this subject.

I've read Kevin Trudeau's book, the Budwig diet, the information on Essiac tea (I've actually helped my sister prepare this), vitamin B17 (laetrile), all the nutritional information I could get my hands on in support of preventing this disease...and I have found this book to be one of the best in supplying all this information in one place.

You will also read why your cells turn into "bad" cells and how they proliferate. Like it or not, your diet and environment have a lot to do with it and most people do very little in adjusting either one of these things once they've been diagnosed. Very few mainstream physicians ever make suggestions of adjusting your diet either and that's probably due to the vast majority of them not having been educated in that being the cause of most diseases. They are educated to treat the disease once it occurs...not on how to prevent it. Unfortunately, that whole education is based on remedies from the drug companies.

Cancer - Step Outside of the Box addresses all of the problems of why we are treated with the mainstream drugs, as well as, the steps you can take to save yourself. Some of the natural remedies do still require a doctor to monitor your progress and if you choose to use those types of remedies, you will still have to find a physician to assist you. It is ultimately your choice. There are references to direct you on the path to finding the right physicians and alternative medicine people that will be able to lead in the proper alternatives for your type of cancer.

It's a whopping 400 pages of information that every cancer patient or person who has a loved one diagnosed with this disease should read. There have been critics of this book who have said that the author, although mentioning the number of family members he has lost, never says whether they tried any of these solutions. They have also criticized the "lack" of editing and the number of typos and grammatical errors.

I find that to be of little consequence...the main information is what's important. The life you could save by reading this book, could be your own!

More "Natural" Cancer Fighting Information...

First an update on my brother:

He's doing "okay". He had the surgery to re-attach everything so that he's no longer using an ostomy bag....but the road is still long with the healing process and hopefully getting control of bathroom functions (no guarantees from the medical establishment). He can't wander too far from bathroom facilities at this point, which means no long distance traveling. He was told after the surgery, it would take him about six months to be functioning normally. Well....that time has come and gone. Now they're telling him it could be six months to a year before he would function normally (for some reason, I don't have much faith in what they say). Even through all of this, he still will not listen to any recommendations or options for taking control of his own health. I love him anyways and can assure you, if he's ever ready (which some people never are) to take responsibility for his own healing process, I'll be there to at least direct him to information that could very well extend his life.

On to other info....

Ya'all know that eating fresh fruits and vegetables are good first steps in fighting cancer...right? And ya'all also know that the bright colored fruits and vegetables have the most bang for your buck in that fight! Hey look....I hate most dark colored (green) vegetables myself (i.e. spinach, asparagus), but I will eat broccoli (which, by the way, is one of the most potent cancer fighting vegies).

Have you ever heard of chlorella and spirulina? I hadn't either! And goodness knows, I would have a hard time eating spinach and such daily! But what if you could get the most "complete food" substance in a capsule that you take daily? What if that capsule also removed a lot of harmful substances from your body naturally, at the same time that it was giving you the essentials you need to help make your body whole again?

Here is a free pdf book that will give you the low-down on chlorella and spurilina, along with recommendations on the purest type to buy. From the reading I have done, if you are someone with cancer, or cancer runs in your family.....as a preventative measure, I would definitely be studying this little book with it's wealth of information. You can also do a google search on the above "greens" and come up with a wealth of other information (all positive).
