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.

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!

Researchers Finding Fruits & Veggies To Show Promise Towards Treating Cancer

More studies are proving the efficacy of a blackberry extract to be a powerful cancer fighting agent. It has now been found that black raspberries may protect against esophageal cancer. Findings are showing positive results for the reduction of oxidative stress in patients with Barrett’s esophagus (BE), which is a pre-cancerous condition that is usually due to gastroesopageal reflux disease.

Research has found that BE patients have a 30-40 fold increased risk of developing esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). This is one of the fastest growing cancer incidences in the United States today. There is currently only a 15 percent survival rate of five years for this type of cancer.

Researchers at Ohio State University, using animals that were chemically induced with oral, esophageal, and colon cancers, showed the berry extract reduced oxidative stress, slowed proliferation rates, decreased DNA damage, and reduced the amount of pre-cancerous cells in the esophagus and colon.

The greatest finding was that it doesn’t seem to matter at what stage the disease is at, benefits are the same. Not only that, there are no side affects since it’s just a food item that is being applied.

There were also findings of a blackberry gel used in a trial by Ohio State University for treating pre-cancerous oral lesions. Research has found that more than a third of pre-cancerous lesions will develop into oral squamous cell cancer. There are a reported 35,000 cases of this disease reported each year with approximately 7,500 deaths resulting per year from this type of cancer. Even if treated successfully, oftentimes the surgery required leaves a patient permanently disfigured.

After six weeks of testing on 30 participants, 35 percent of the lesions showed an improvement, and another 45 percent showed their lesions had stabilized. The gel was applied 4 times a day…once after each meal and at bedtime.

It was determined that more trials need to be implemented to determine that it was indeed the blackberry and not the gel itself or its application method that was the determining factor in the improvement of the lesions. This study was funded by the National Cancer Institute.

Either way, it certainly would not hurt anyone who has oral lesions to start implementing this berry into their diet. If they are out of season, there are resources on the internet where you can buy these berries freeze-dried to get you through the months when you can’t get them fresh.

Researchers from Rutgers University are also showing encouraging findings on the polypenols in green tea for preventing the growth of colorectal tumors. Their study was done on rats injected with human colorectal cancer cells. After 34 weeks, rats given the green tea extract developed 55 percent few tumors then the group that did not receive the green tea. The amount given to the rats on a daily basis would be an equivalent of 4-6 cups of green tea consumption. given a and other “natural” products that everyone who has cancer or knows a loved one who has cancer should be adding to their knowledge base.

Then you have the Roswell Park Cancer Institute findings that broccoli sprouts help to prevent bladder cancer. Again, using a rat model with chemically induced bladder cancer, a freeze dried extract of broccoli sprouts proved to significantly inhibit cancer cell growth. The extract from the broccoli sprouts appeared to have increased the enzymes in the bladder that are known to protect against oxidants and carcinogens.

.Anyone who reads this information should be very encouraged that the mainstream medical industry is finally taking steps to research protocols that could be added ammunition to the “cancer fight” and has the added benefit of being less harmful than many of the drugs and toxins that they use as treatments for today’s cancer patient.

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).
