The Herbal Cure For Breast Cancer

Although there exists an overwhelming array of modern-day treatment options for breast cancer, such as: chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormonal therapy, targeted therapies, surgery, and clinical trial therapies, etc., there are also a certain amount of alternative and traditional herbal medicine options too.

Herbal medicine has been used to treat people's illnesses for many thousands of years, and as the understanding of modern-day medicine has progressed during the last 100 years or so, so too has that of many of the herbal remedies that are used in traditional medicine (over more or less the same period of time).

This has led to a growing number of people to look to traditional herbal medicine (as an alternative to modern-day medicine) which focuses on two things: the detoxification of the body by ridding it of unwanted elements, and the strengthening of the body's immunity to prevent a relapse after treatment.

Turmeric, the popular Indian curry spice that is used in Ayurvedic medicine (a form of traditional/alternative medicine inherent to the Indian subcontinent) and Chinese medicine, has been used to cure illnesses for the past 4,000 years or so, and which of recent, came into the spotlight as a possible cure for breast cancer.

It is derived from the Curcuma longa (plant) which is a member of the ginger family, and due to its excellent anti-inflammatory properties, has been used to treat both digestive and liver problems, skin diseases, and certain types of wounds for many years. However, recent studies have shown that turmeric may also have other abilities too.

Found growing in the tropical regions of South Asia, and in particular India, turmeric's active ingredient curcumin, is believed to contain excellent anti-cancer and anti-oxidant properties which may help to neutralize the body's free radicals (particles that damage cells) by helping to prevent the damage they cause.

Curcumin, due to its strong anti-oxidant properties may actually help prevent, or treat, certain types of cancer, such as: breast cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, and skin cancer. Along with helping lower the level of two of the body's enzymes that cause inflammation, and inhibiting the grouping of platelets.

(enzymes are large biological molecules responsible for thousands of metabolic processes that help sustain life, and platelets are cells that do not have a nucleus which when grouped together form blood clots).

Turmeric (curcumin) can be administered as a fluid extract, powder filled capsule, or a tincture, which is an alcohol-based derivative of the fresh herb. And although turmeric is now being used in clinical trials for breast cancer and other cancers alike, it is so, only as an add-on to traditional medicine treatments.

It can be concluded that turmeric does have many cancer fighting properties that are certainly a benefit to most cancer sufferers who use it; however, due to a certain lack of information still as to how much those benefits may actually be, remains unclear. Turmeric, therefore may still be some years away from being the stand-alone cure for breast cancer.By Philip Albert Edmonds-Hunt

Is Aloe Vera A Preventative and Recovery For Breast Cancer: Aloe Vera And Cancer

Breast Cancer is a very common problem these days. Is it exacerbated by our lifestyles or by environment or just down to the law of averages, or is it known about more, due to our knowledge?

Primarily thought of as a women's complaint it can however affect both men and woman. Men have breast tissue the same as women do so they are prone to it as well.

What is the cause of this terrifying illness. No one knows for sure. We all apparently have the cancer gene in our bodies but something triggers it and causes it to grow. Most cancers if caught early enough can be dealt with these days, as medical knowledge and research have helped to give more understanding of what can be done. Removal of the cancer and then blasting it with radiation thankfully seems in most cases to be able to successfully remove it or at least hold back the spread.

Obviously some forms of cancer can be fatal but as research and knowledge improve hopefully these will become treatable in the future.

Breast cancer is thought to sometimes be hereditary and in some cases women who have had breast cancer previously in their families have resorted to having their breasts removed in order to avoid the disease. I think these ladies are extremely brave both in their thinking and actually going through the operations.

It is thought that aluminium salts contained mostly in spray on anti perspirants can be linked as a cause of breast cancer so wouldn't it be obvious to refrain from using these particular forms of toiletry. There are alternatives. I know of a particular deodorant which is free from aluminium salts and actually does the job extremely well. It doesn't prevent sweating, which is also good, but it does prevent us from producing the smell.

To help prevent cancer the best thing we can do is to be as healthy as possible. Eating green leafy vegetables, particularly broccoli is helpful. Eat only fresh foods which do not have preservatives. We need to eliminate free radicals and toxins and boost our immune systems.

One way of doing this is to take a look at the benefits of Aloe Vera and cancer. It may help as a preventative and aid in the recovery of breast cancer.

Aloe Vera can be taken as a drink every day which will help to relieve our body of toxins and also provide the nutrients and amino acids that our bodies require. It is also recommended after treatment for cancer to help our bodies fight the radiation we have endured to rid us of the cancer.By Alison Wainwright

My 10 Suppressed Natural Cancer Cures

As I have been saying in previous articles the medical/pharmaceutical owned and controlled cancer establishment do not want you to know that ever since time immemorial there has been cheap, natural and non-toxic cures for cancer.

If any of these non-patentable cures were allowed to be known to the public at large then, as a result, they would seriously undercut the medical/pharmaceutical owned and controlled cancer establishment's business. So, whether it has been through making these successful alternative cures with their related practitioners illegal or paying off the mainstream media to blackout, ignore or ridicule, even when knowing they do in effect cure cancer, the establishment have shown that money is more important to them than truth.

The establishment's treatment of cancer: chemotherapy, radiation and surgery largely achieve poor results and cancer is therefore only a major life-threatening illness because of the suppression of the highly effective cheap, natural and non-toxic cures.

So here's my list of 10 suppressed natural cancer cures. Indeed, this is not an exhaustive account and you may know others. Either way I encourage you to do your own research but beware of the deliberate misinformation media sources with their weak arguments and purposely left out relevant information to make the case against cheap, natural and non-toxic alternative cures look stronger or plausible. Some of them are secretly cancer establishment sponsored!

1. Royal (William) Rife's Cancer Machine

In the 1930's California microbiologist Royal Rife after many years put together a 'universal microscope' basically designed to focus on cancer cells by identifying their wave frequency of vibration being different to normal cells... The universal microscope could then be used to send beams of a specific frequency from a ray tube which zapped and killed the cancer cells. This Rife called the mortal oscillatory rate which was very successful in destroying cancer in patients. So successful, in fact, Rife's machine cured 16 out of 16 cancer patients and some had been hopeless cases.

However, into the 1940's and 50's well into the manufacture of the cancer machines, having established treatment clinics, Rife found himself caught up in a legal wrangle with the establishment's big boys such as the American Medical Association. In spite of Rife winning court cases... his equipment was finally laid to rest, seized by the authorities for illegal alternative practices in medicine.

2. Laetrile Cancer Treatment

Ernest Krebs learned that the isolated indigenous Hunsas people living at the foot of the Himalayas lived to very high ages before death. He found that apricot kernels was very much used in their diet, containing high vitamin B17 levels, which he theorised was responsible for contributing to no cancer recorded in this area. He made a refined (distilled) version of vitamin B17 and called it laetrile. It was found that laetrile or B17 destroyed the enzyme beta-glycosidase in the cancer cell's metabolic pathway and thus could cure cancer when using it as a therapy.

Bad science (deliberate?), politics, corporate greed and adverse publicity basically destroyed this great discovery from getting deserved recognition at large...

3. Harry Hoxey's Herbal Remedies

Successful businessman Harry Hoxey after curing his horse with cancer used the same paste-applied herbal remedy on people. His herbal formula had achieved 80% success over 80 years. In the 1960's his clinic in Texas was shut down for illegal practices... All for curing people of cancer. A former nurse working with Hoxey's remedy took the treatment to Mexico which still survives today.

4. Metabolic Nutritional Therapy

This is the idea that certain anti-cancer foods can be used as a strict dietary regime. Again this has been highly successful but the cancer establishment seldom mention nutrition: No money to be made there...

5. Gerson Therapy

This follows on from 4 in the respects that it is a form of metabolic nutritional therapy, using body detoxification to assist in the process. Gerson therapy originally devised by Max Gerson was fully recognised in congress from hearings in the 1920's but was later struck of the record. One can only assume because of the threat it posed to undercutting the medical/pharmaceutical's businesses and less governmental revenues... if got to the public at large.

6. Otto Warburg Oxygen Therapy

Another great individual with his pioneering work in the 1930's was biochemist Otto Warburg. He was unjustly ridiculed by the establishment for coming up with the finding that oxygen is an environment that cancer cells don't like. Warburg said that cancer cells manifest in an oxygen deprived environment. Why do you think you never hear of cancer of the heart? It's because the heart contains oxygen rich blood... This has been ignored by the establishment.

7. John Baird Proteolytic Enzyme Therapy

At the turn of the 20th century Scottish doctor Baird noticed that during early foetal development the mother's placental cells behave like cancer cells in that they show rapid growth. By pregnancy day 56, when the foetus has formed its pancreas, it produces pancreatic enzymes that switch off this rapid growth. So basically Baird theorised, given that these placental cells behave like cancer cells in that they exhibit rapid growth, like the foetal cells, could the cancer cells be switched off by pancreatic enzymes? The answer is yes! Yes, cancer could be successfully treated using pancreatic enzymes. However, in spite of its success, the treatment was laid to rest invalidated and radiation therapy was chosen by the establishment instead...

8. Tullio Simoncini Cancer Therapy

Brilliant tenacious Italian doctor Tullio Simoncini has been subjected to huge pressures from the establishment to succumb: In spite of the ridicule and attempts at legal action he continues his work today focussing on treating cancer as a fungus called Candida resulting from a poor immune system. Simoncini found that antifungal treatment did not work. The solution was not only cheap but simple. He gave patients sodium bicarbonate internally through an endoscope (tube). This allows the bicarbonate to go directly to the cancer. As mentioned above this great cancer breakthrough has however been largely ignored by the cancer establishment.

9. Stanislaw Burzynski Antineoplastons

There is a movie available to see on U-Tube called "Cancer Is a Serious Business." This award winning scandalous true story movie made my cry. It shows how a medical man &biochemist Dr Stanislaw Burzynski discovered a cancer cure using gene therapy, but had to deal with the mite of the American Food and Drug Administration who tried to criminalise him for his practices. A 14 year 60 million dollar US tax payer's money legal battle ensued... The fact that he had help saved many lives, curing sometimes even hopeless cancer cases was never the issue! The real issue was the fact that Dr Burzynski was undercutting the cancer establishment's business...

10. Anti-Oxidants

The late great scientist twice Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling was turned down when he tried to get funding with his colleagues for further research on vitamin C and its role in fighting cancer: He found that leukaemia sufferers had low levels of vitamin C. When these sufferers were given frequently high doses of vitamin C they went into remission (recovery)... Pauling also discovered that frequent vitamin C high dosing stops the migratory pathways that cancer cells use to metastasise (spread). It is inconceivable to me that this could be ignored but has been (and still is).

In summary

The above clearly shows that the medical/pharmaceutical establishment has the upper hand in controlling cancer. Power, political gain and profit are indeed the ulterior motives. I would encourage the reader to do his/her own study and learn to discern: For example, look at the mass media reports on cancer and ask yourself does this have vested interest. Ask yourself who stands to gain..?

7 Breast Cancer Triggers And How To Avoid Them

Statistically, 1:3 women and 1:2 men will be diagnosed with some form of cancer in their lifetime. Those statistics are compelling reasons to be very proactive with your health and to understand the triggers that can lead to Breast Cancer, or any type of cancer.

Cancer cannot grow in a healthy body. Plain and simple. Your mission, therefore, is to make conscious choices that can help you prevent cancer. Here are 7 Breast Cancer Triggers that you can avoid:

1.) Inflammation

Inflammation occurs when your Immune System becomes over active and creates an environment of high oxidation. Think of oxidation as rust or when an apple slice turns brown after a few hours. A similar process occurs on a cellular level. inflammation is present at all 3 stages of tumor development: initiation, progression and metastasis.

You can reduce inflammation by increasing your green veggies with juicing and blending and adding fish oils to your diet. Remove all processed and artificial foods from your diet. Regular physical activity and refreshing sleep also reduce the inflammatory markers.

2.) Excess Insulin

Sugar feeds cancer. After years of sugar consumption from refined carbohydrates and simple sugars, an acidic environment is created, which cancer cells also love. Insulin and IGF (Insulin Growth Factor) are powerful messengers that promote cellular growth. Sugar also depresses your Immune System.

Eliminate sugar in all forms from your diet. Granny Smith apples, lemons and limes, and occasional berries are beneficial. Limit your grain consumption and replace them with quinoa and millet, which are classified as seeds.

3.) Methylation

This is a biological cycle that manages a variety of bodily functions. Problems with methylation occur if there is specific gene mutation that prevents the production of a specific enzyme. This can cause issues with detoxification, immune function, DNA repair, and energy production.

If you have high Homocysteine blood levels or if you would like to know if you have a methylation problem, I suggest you get tested to see if you have the gene mutation. If you do, there are nutritional supplements that will help reduce the effect of the mutation.

4.) Hormone Imbalance

Hormones are messengers that speak to each other and to all systems of the body. If there is too little estriol and too much estradiol, the more aggressive estradiol can cause cellular damage and increase your risk of Breast Cancer. If you are not metabolizing your estrogen properly, this can also increase your risk.

Determine Estrogen Quotient and the levels of your other hormones with a simple home testing saliva kit. (See Resources)

5.) Immune Dysfunction

The average person has over 200 foreign chemicals circulating in their body. These chemicals stress and exhaust the Immune System, distracting it from more important functions. As DNA mutations occur because of these chemicals, it is important that your Immune System be on the alert to capture any circulating cancer stem cells.

Keep your Immune System functioning at its peak by adopting a healthy lifestyle and being proactive with The 7 Essentials. There are specific supplements and foods that can help boost your Immune System as well.

6.) Insufficient Sleep

Stress and lack of sleep can turn off cancer-protective genes. Insufficient sleep prevents the body from healing and repairing. It slows down the detoxification pathways which puts your body at greater risk.

If you are not getting restful, relaxing and refreshing 7-8 hours of sleep, consider having your brain hormones tested to see what neuro-transmitters may be out of balance.

7.) Emotional and Mental Stress

Psycho-Neuro-Immunology (PNI) has taught us that the Nerve System, the Immune System and our mental health are all closely related. Think dark thoughts and your white blood cell count is reduced. Think happy thoughts of joy and gratitude and even your DNA responds in a positive way. Thoughts are energy and energy is transmitted by chemical and electrical pathways.

Practice being grateful for everything that is in your life. Focus on peaceful loving thoughts. Take time to meditate and pray every day. Visualize your body feeling healthy and strong. Visualize your perfect life and move towards it. If you find it difficult to mediate, there are many programs that can teach you to calm your mind and your body.

These 7 triggers are workable issues that can be prevented. Make a conscious effort to gain knowledge about the factors that you can control when it comes to your health. Be proactive with prevention by following The 7 Essentials. -Veronique D Desaulniers
