Cancer is a disease in which abnormal cells divide without control and can invade nearby tissues. Cancer cells can also spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymph systems.
This may arise from numerous physical problems including the lack of oxygen to cells, a weakened immune system, excessive acidity and the toxic accumulation of carcinogens (or DNA mutating substances). Many of these problems can be treated and therefore so may cancer itself. Treating cancer naturally is possible and requires a committed approach to healthy lifestyle changes.
The following 10 treatments have been shown to naturally relieve cancer symptoms and limit the spread of tumor cells.
- Ketogenic Diet
A ketogenic diet is rich in healthy fats and low in carbohydrates. This diet stimulates the production of ketones in the body through a biological process that circumvents the use of respiration within the mitochondria. Diets which heavily burden the mitochondria with energy synthesis increase the risk of free radical formation and also increase the rate of mutations within cells. These mutations can lead to various cancers such as: Colon cancer, Lung cancer, Breast cancer.
Instead, a ketogenic diet reduces the amount of energy which must be supplied from the conversion of glucose found in both simple and complex sugars and therefore also helps alleviate symptoms of individuals with metabolic conditions. Cancer cells thrive off of the energy created from glucose fermentation. Glucose fermentation is also called anaerobic metabolism due to the lack of oxygenation, pastured beef and dairy products, organic poultry, good fats such as coconut oil and avocado, low carbohydrates fruits and vegetables such asasparagus, cabbage, lemon and limes are all ketogenic approved foods with cancer protective properties. A ketogenic diet has been shown to significantly delay the progression of tumors and increase survival rate periods by more than 50 per cent
- Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber
A synergy of health benefits further results when a ketogenic diet is coupled with hyberbaric oxygen chamber therapy. Results involve a decreased rate of tumor growth, improved state of ketosis and lower blood glucose concentration.
A hyperbaric oxygen chamber helps to remove two of the major physical problems which contribute to cancer: lack of oxygen to cells and excessive acidity. Hyperbaric oxygen treatment reduces cellular hypoxia, or the deprivation of oxygen to cells and therefore also decreases acidic conditions.
Unlike cancer cells, healthy cells cannot flourish without an adequate oxygen supply. Hyperbaric oxygen chamber therapy is an effective strategy to increase the oxygen flow to all cells and organs and also buffer PH of your body’s environment to better equip cells to maintain their normal functions.
- Juicing Greens & Eating Sprouts
Juicing is a highly effective strategy to flood a tumor ridden body with powerful nutrients and antioxidants which equip the immune system in the fight against cancer. Juicing fruits and vegetables aids the digestive tract with a plethora of phytonutrients which can be easily absorbed at a higher rate than the same raw or cooked foods when consumed.
Eating sprouts is another great way to naturally boost the anti-cancer properties of cells by supplying them with a rich abundance of natural antioxidants that inhibit cancer growth. Only a small concentration of sprouts from vegetables such as kale, broccoli and cauliflower is required daily to contribute protective properties.
Sprouts support natural enzyme processes and cellular protective properties including the fight against inflammtion, free radicals and cancer. Nutrients found in sprouts include: Vitamins such as K and C, Amino acids, Minerals, Beta-carotene, chlorophll, gluthatione, sulforaphane in particular helps stimulate the body’s natural detoxification pathways to remove toxins and prevent the accumulation of further carcinogens. Quercertin is yet another nutrient found in sprouts which has been shown to promote apoptosis, or cell death and inhibit the continued spread of cancer.
Although juice is most dense in nutrients and cancer protective properties when fresh pressed and immediately consumed, preparing juice in advance is also advantageous. Be sure to store juice in an airtight container and in a dark part of your fridge to ensure optimal nutritional benefits. Both light and air oxidize foods immediately after being cut and should be minimized.
- Fermented Foods
Fermented foods are loaded with healthy bacteria which play a major role in regulating the health of your entire body and mind. Individuals who harbor harmful microbes in their gut micro biomes are at an increased risk of metabolic disorders, disease and various cancers. Some of these cancers include: Colorectal carcinoma, pancreatic cancer; and Gallbladder cancer.
Fermented foods contain a type of bacteria known as bacteriodetes which produce a product called butyrate necessary for health. Butyrate has anti-cancer properties and also performs enzymatic responsibilities in assisting the gut in breaking down starches. Some of the best fermented foods which you should incorporate into your daily diet include grass-fed yogurt, kefir, coconut water kefir and cultured vegetables such as sauerkraut.
- Vitamin D
Vitamin D is a critical component of central nervous system responsible for both development and function. Vitamin D continues to astound researchers in its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant capabilities and is associated with reducing autoimmune complications through limiting natural killer cell secretion during certain conditions such as a woman’s pregnancy.
Perhaps one of the most important functions of vitamin D is its ability to regulate inflammatory pathways associated with cancer and is especially crucial in the proper development of an immune system regulating protein known as GcMAF.
Vitamin D is required for the body to synthesize GcMAF. GcMAF influences the ability of tumor cells to proliferate and for the very same reason also can reverse the effect of certain cancers including breast cancer. Clinical studies support the ability of GcMAF to treat symptoms of a variety of cancers including bladder, ovarian, head and neck and other lymphomas.
- Turmeric
Clinical studies have shown that herbs like curcumin which is created from turmeric are powerful anti-inflammatory agents and can treat cancer symptoms. In fact, these studies show that turmeric exhibits similar inflammation prevention control as do synthetic drugs such as ibuprofen and aspirin and over 570 research studies support the ability of curcumin to have anti-cancer properties.
This spice makes an easy addition to a meat marinade or to your favorite sauces especially those rich in good fats such as grass-fed milk which increases its absorption. Curcumin increases the concentration of other important antioxidants such as glutathione and exhibits a strong anti-inflammatory effect on cells by limiting the damage of oxidative stress to organs.
