Taking Control Of More Than Your Cancer Health

For all those interested in taking control of your health in general, whether it’s flu symptoms that you are experiencing, fungus problems, skin moles, etc., I felt that everyone should know that there are safer ways (and cheaper), to treat most common ailments without going to a physician and paying exorbitant prices.

I’ve used some of the natural remedies found on this site and can personally attest to using cayenne pepper for strep throat. My whole household went through a bout of this last winter, passing it from one member to another.

My daughter and son-in-law used prescription drugs from their physician to deal with their’s and I logged onto this site for my remedy. I’m not a big fan of extremely “hot” spices, but I can tell you that my strep throat was gone the very next day! I was amazed, and I continued to watch my daughter and son-in-law take their meds for another two or three days.

The other remedy I used was the apple cider vinegar for a sinus infection. I had never had one before, but my daughter has always been prone to get them every year. So when I came down with one, she was immediately able to tell me what I had.

Again, going to the above web site and looking up sinus infections led me to my cupboard and I pulled out the apple cider vinegar. I only had the common grocery store kind and it worked fine. Using a bowl and a large towel, I poured a mix of one part vinegar and one part water that I heated in the microwave. I proceeded to place the towel over my head and over the hot bowl so that I breathed in the steam.

Keep your eyes closed while doing this and slowly inhale and exhale for at least five minutes. I did this procedure once in the morning and once in the evening. Again…by the next day there was an immense improvement. My head was no longer stuffed up and my sinuses were draining beautifully. Exactly two days, and I was feeling my old self again.

By the way, organic apple cider vinegar added to 16 oz. of spring/distilled water (1-2 tsps.) is great for balancing your body’s pH levels. If your body is too acidic (from all the processed foods we consume), you are a good candidate for cancer! Cancer cells do not multiply in a body that has a balanced pH.

To test your pH, just pick up some pH test strips at your local health food store or pharmacy.

Clean Out The Cancer Causing Sludge!

I know it’s been a while since I posted on this blog, but a lot of things have happened.

My brother with colon cancer has not been fairing well since his operation. Although they have reconnected everything and they told him it would be six months before he would be back to normal….that hasn’t happened (surprised!….I’m not!).

He’s afraid to go too far from a bathroom for fear of having an accident! Now they have him on perscription medication to “prevent” him from going to the bathroom so that he is able to perform his job! Then he takes another pill to counteract that pill to make his bowels move. Ludicrous if you ask me!

The bottom line is the doctors lied! When we asked him when he was going to seek other advice, his response was “I want this doctor to fix it. He’s the one who told me everything would be working properly….he’s the one who needs to fix it!” The problem with that is: What if “he” doesn’t know how to?

Now….my sister who has been through breast cancer (twice), also had cancer show up on her thyroid and had to have that removed. She appears to be doing okay and her voice has changed….but at least she can talk, walk, and not need to be chained to bathroom facilities all the time.

Add to that one more: My youngest sister was diagnosed with breast cancer two months ago and underwent a lumpectomy. I, being the good sibling that I am, tried to steer her towards other options of post-surgery protocols….such as natural products that would help her rather than going through chemo (destroys the immune system) and radiation.

Of course, the medical industry put a scare in her and she went with their treatments. She is currently shopping for a wig for the hair loss and will not return to her job until all the treatments are complete (after December).

One thing I will add here is that not one of my siblings has changed their way of eating. I think it is vital that they start to learn what they are putting into their system by buying too much of the processed foods that we have in our grocery stores, along with the enviromentally bad exposures that we’ve become accustomed to.

I think it is vital in today’s world that everyone do a colon cleanse quarterly to clean out all the “junk” that gets plastered to our bowels from what has become our “normal” diets. So as to not disrupt your lifestyle too much, a three day cleanse would be the minimum.

It makes absolutely no sense to try and supplement your vitamin intake with good quality vitamins unless your body is going to be able to process what your taking. If your body is filled with old decaying matter (sorry for being blunt), it is not going to be able to assimilate any of the good stuff that you decide to put it in…that’s just the facts!

So remove the old junk with a colon cleanse followed by a liver cleanse. Add some digestive enzymes to get your digestive track working properly, and you’re on your way to correcting a lot of your health problems.

Another suggestion would be to make sure you get all and any of the bright colored fruits and vegetables into your diet. If you’re unable to get fresh, unadulterated produce from your supermarket, the next best thing is buying the numerous dried formulas they have available at most health-food stores.

Most of these formulas, with one serving, give you the equivalent of six servings of fruits or vegetables and come in flavors that make them easy to swallow. Just be sure that they are all natural with no additives.

I will be making recommendations in future posts of the best places to get these formulas at the best price.

And You Thought They Had Your Best Interest At Heart!

Nothing makes me angrier than to find “proof” that the conventional medical society will treat people with cancer….not by what’s best for their condition…..but by what’s best for the good ol’ wallet!

Read the information posted here…..it is just incredible that it can be proven that the oncologists are selecting treatments based on what’s going to get them more money….not on what’s going to work the best for this particular patient and this particular cancer!

I keep preaching….make sure you are the one taking your health decisions in your own hands…..and don’t let them sway you if, through your own research, you don’t go with the treatment they want to give you. It is your life and it’s up to you to do the research. They obviously know more answers through their studies, but they obviously can decide to have you go through a treatment based on their pocketbook only!!

With having two siblings going through recent cancer treatments…this has just got my goat really bad!!

CANCER Is In The Mind!

Although my brother is not someone who has any amount of “faith” for his own healing….I believe it is within each and everyone of us to change an outcome/diagnosis to other than what the conventional medical society
has presented.

Those of little faith, would call this “hokey”, and give no more thought to it. Those of us with faith….will continue to send our energy to help heal our loved one. It has worked…and some mainstream medical physicians are beginning to give some credence to the process.

Most integrative medicine practices are now not only relying on conventional medicine therapies to address cancer issues, but also relaxation/self-healing techniques to ensure a successful recovery.

The theory, as in any business development, is that “If you believe you can….you can. If you believe you can’t….you can’t.” Each suggestion is correct.

How many times have doctors been unable to explain why or how a patient has recovered from a terminal diagnosis? Many patients are unable/unwilling to explain to the conventional medicine physician that they simply “believed” they would be healed because these physicians just would not be able to accept that as part of what they were taught.

We are all becoming more and more aware of the “fact” that all things are created from energy. Why is it so hard to then believe that based on that fact, that simply by applying your own energy towards healing your body….that it can’t be done?

You don’t have to take hours of classes on learning how to apply this energy….simply visualize the healing process in your own body and have faith that it is happening just as you visualized it.

The only requirement is that you spend a few minutes each day (preferably three times a day if you have an impending illness) doing this visualization and your “energy field” will take care of the healing process. At the end of each visualization session, mentally proclaim your gratitude for the healing process that is taking place.

If the medical profession is now accepting that your attitude towards your own healing has a lot to do with the results of their therapies….maybe it’s because there’s something to the science of it all and there’s absolutely no reason to not add it to your repertoire of therapies for the healing process.

For further study of this phenomenon, do a search on “self-healing”. Some of the sites that will appear are by Jose Silva, The Secret, The Science of Getting Rich, Depak Chopra, and many others. Most proclaim that using your mind to heal yourself is a very viable procedure….but due to the FDA, FTC, and boat loads of other government agencies…..cannot claim that you can help heal yourself….just read their testimonials. It’s all about expanding the mind (which we use to little of).

Got Milk?….S/B Got Cancer!

How many of you are constantly telling your children to finish their milk? I know I did it when raising my daughter. I also became a big milk drinker myself….just love the stuff.

Fortunately for me, having grown up in a family of ten, we couldn’t afford to drink milk all the time…most of the time, we just received it with our free school lunch. Now I’m almost glad that was the case.

How many animals do you see in the animal kingdom, that continue to drink milk once they are past the suckling stage? Heck, even your vet will tell you not to give your adult cat milk on a regular basis. Yet we get bombarded all the time in TV commercials and newspaper/magazine ads, on the benefits of drinking three glasses of milk a day for life!

What is all of this leading to:
There’s a bovine growth hormone (BGH) that they’ve been injecting into cows so that the cows’ milk production increases. Great for the dairy farmer….but what of the hormone that gets passed into the milk supply that you and I and our kids drink every day?

Dr. Samuel Epstein, Scientist, University of Illinois: “…there are highly suggestive if not persuasive lines of evidence showing that consumption of this milk poses risks of breast and colon cancer.”

And to top it all off…..the reporters that uncovered this information, were dismissed from their jobs because they refused to “skew” the report.

Now add on top of that the fact that no one is able to label their milk or dairy product BGH (the hormone) free….(Ben & Gerry’s ice cream wanted to put it on their label, but was told that they couldn’t), and you have yourself a nice big cover-up of what you, I, and everyone else who consumes dairy, is putting in their body.

Don’t forget the part that Monsanto, the makers of BGH, is also the same company that years ago said PCBs were safe! Just goes to show you where their interests really are!

You can read all about the court battle that the reporters have been going through at this link:
BGH Suit

So unless you know the farmer that your milk is coming from….you have no way of knowing what milk at the grocery store has BGH in it and what milk doesn’t!

I keep saying…..get back to organic! Just add this to the list of reasons why. It definitely is going to be of greater benefit for you to get your level of daily calcium from other than milk!

Hidden Cancer Treatments

The more and more information I uncover about therapies that are out there but not available to the patient that need it…..the more upset I get with our society.

Stop and keep asking yourself….why are we being “contained” this way. Why is this information not given to us freely for us to decide what to do with it? Only through your own research will you find and “believe” that there is a method to this madness! As the saying goes “Follow the money.”, and therein, lies your answer.

Here is a helpful site that not only discusses the cancer information that is being buried that was reported in the Australia news, but many other issues that affect you. Understand that this site is maintained by someone who has worked for the government and has first hand experience on the lengths that are taken to stop you from receiving this information and why.

"Participating" In Your Cancer Recovery

I’m happy to say my brother finally went for a second opinion on his cancer therapy treatments for his colon cancer….although I feel it would have been more beneficial had he gone for a second and third opinion prior to having the surgery to remove part of his colon.

His main reason for taking this step was the inconsistencies he was receiving at each step of his treatment from his current medical team. First off, prior to surgery he was told that he had a 20% chance of having a colostomy bag and if he did, it would be 2-3 months only. Well as soon as he got out of surgery, he was told that he would have to have the colostomy but still just for 2-3 months. Once released from the hospital, he was then told he would have to have it for at least 6 months!

Then he was told for his chemotherapy treatments that he would have a little box belted on that he could hide under his shirt, and would have to wear for 2-3 days while the chemo was being pumped into his body. When he went in for his appointment to have this contraption “installed”….well….now it’s not a little box that he’ll wear under his shirt, but a “fanny pack”!

To say he’s getting discouraged with the conventional medical physicians, is an understatement. He lost his cool a little with this last change and actually decided that they weren’t going to tell him what he could and couldn’t do. He told them he would only go with the smaller container….period!

I read an article written by an M.D. who is Medical Director of The Miro Center for Integrative Medicine in Evanston, Illinois and Professional Advisory Board Member, NOHA., that hit the nail on the head when she stated that all doctors should be treated as “consultants” in your quest to cure any disease or injury. They know only what they’ve been taught in medical school, which in the United States, is usually limited to whatever specialty they’ve studied….period. It does not encompass other methodologies that could also enhance the standard medical treatments because that is not included in their studies!

Here is another article done by scientists in California that have studied Asian herbs to find out if they would be effective against fighting breast cancer. Yes, they tested a lot of them…..and the vast majority had no affect on the cancer itself (to me…that doesn’t mean they would not help in you fight against cancer)….but they did find two that definitely attacked the cells and killed them! This was in 2001! Why was this not on every front page of every newspaper and headlined on every tv news hour? This should have been major news….yet, like me, I bet you didn’t hear about it.

Just more info for opening up your horizons in “participating” in your cancer treatment and not be just another statistic for the typical medical industry to add to their numbers. You have nothing to loose and everything to gain by adding other methods of treatment to your arsenal against cancer.

Cancer and Oxygen Therapy

Only when you start taking responsibility for educating yourself when you have cancer, will you find the information you need to make informative decisions on combining conventional medicine and alternative therapies. In the research that I have done, oxygen therapy appears to be one of the main treatments (along with a body cleanse to expel dead cancer cells and other things lurking in your body).

Although not inexpensive, then again, neither are the conventional treatments that the mainstream physician is going to put you through. The main difference is the drug companies help to finance the costs to the doctor for the treatments he uses…..and the insurance companies only cover what you’re physician prescribes. So any alternatives have to be paid for out of your pocket.

For a complete journal on alternative treatments used in his wife’s treatments for esophagus cancer and the ordeal they went through with conventional medicine, read Karl Loren’s website. Read the full synopsis of how the conventional doctors wrote her off once she decided not to expose herself to anymore chemo and radiation and they gave her a week to live (this was in 2004). Guess what? She’s still around! Not only does it have information on the dilemmas they faced, but it will also give you the much needed information you will need if you are going to approach your cancer in the same way.

I, myself, would feel sooo much better if I knew my brother was participating in his treatments, instead of just accepting them!!! But I also know, I have to respect his decision and be supportive in any other way that I can. In the meantime, I will still try to steer him into researching the alternatives….if only to make the conventional therapies more tolerable.

Back to the subject…..what does oxygen have to do with cancer? Everything! Everyone carries cancer cells in their bodies. It’s only when these cells get out of control that you have a problem. What causes them to get out of control? Many things….our environment, food, habits. Scientists already know that if they put cancer cells in a petrie dish and block off the supply of oxygen….the cells will grow. If they keep them fed with oxygen….they stay the same. So suffice it to say, if you give your cells more oxygen through proper vitamins, expulsion of chemicals, parasites, etc., from your body, and a good healthy lifestyle that should include exercise of some sort….you chances of getting or fighting cancer are going to be greater.

Now, if scientist already know this….why hasn’t this information been widely published to the mainstream population? The answer….how would the drug companies make their profits?

Do the research!

Cancer & Alternative Medicine – California

It came as a surprise to me (although I don’t know why), when I came across a site that published information on a law that was passed by California in 2002, letting that state use and run “alternative” clinics! Now I know California has had these clinics and health centers because I’ve seen them listed on the web….but I wasn’t aware that a law was passed in their state condoning them! I say, great for them, and let’s hope that more states will follow suit. Afterall, it is our bodies and we should be able to choose what we believe to be the best thing to keep them going. Hopefully, mainstream medicine will also embrace the concept that different practices, used together, could create an entirely different outcome.

Another site that I have found with a lot of information in regards to natural cancer treatments is the Cure Zone . They not only have cancer information, but information for all kinds of other health problems, with specific herbs and remedies that might just help you more than what your current physician is doing. And just as they say…..please let your doctor know of any natural course you are going to pursue, because some drugs that they prescribe and any natural remedies that you might take, might have adverse affects. Please be wise about this!

If you look under the “Cancer” link that is at the top of the page, they will give you a list of the different herbs and remedies that are being used throughout the world. My sister is using some of these in her battle, but I feel she needs to do more! I believe colon cleansing is a must first step, and many of the alternative medicine practioners also suggest this along with a herbal remedie to enhance your immune system. The good thing is, she’s at least more open to suggestion, than my brother, and is looking into the practice and it’s benefits. More people with this disease should be doing the same thing, in my humble opinion!
