Modern Medicine versus Nature in Cancer Treatment Posted by: " Tony "

Western medicine, in contrast to at least 6000 years of natural

medicine, treats the body as a collection of parts instead of as a

synergistic organism. When it comes to treating broken bones and injured

body parts, mainstream Western medicine is unequaled. When this same

approach is used to treat illness and disease - fixing or repairing the

parts where the symptoms of underlying illnesses manifest themselves,

modern medicine fails miserably.

In the instance of cancer, instead of addressing the causes of cancer -

toxins and a weakened immune system - we see instead treatments that

either slash, burn or poison away the tumors and cancer cells, which

further weakens an immune system cancer has already defeated and only

worsens the conditions that led to cancer to begin with.

Even if initially successful at getting rid of existing cancer cells and

tumors, the end result is a weakened body which may have major organ

damage and which is more susceptible to the reappearance of the original

cancer, as well as other forms of cancer and diseases.

For half a century or more, we have been told that a breakthrough or

cure for cancer is just around the corner, yet the death rates for

cancer remain virtually unchanged. Meanwhile, effective natural and

alternative treatments which address and correct the actual causes of

cancer continue to enjoy much greater success than the largely failed

mainstream treatments, even as they are suppressed and come under

increasing attack by the medical establishment.

Profit plays a huge role in Western medicine and because nature cannot

be patented, there is no profit in conducting studies on natural

remedies for cancer and illness - and. In fact, if studies were to prove

the effectiveness of natural alternatives and those alternatives were to

be approved for use in treating cancer and other illnesses, the result

would be to admit cheaper, safer and more effective competition into a

fiercely guarded market. Instead, such alternatives are heavily

suppressed, discredited passed off as " snake oil " and " voodoo medicine " .

The cold, hard fact is that cancer and other degenerative and chronic

illnesses are big business - hundreds of billions of dollars a year big

business. When their only market place is our bodies, the vested

interests of the trillion dollar world pharmaceutical empire, mainstream

medicine and the institutions which depend on maintaining the status quo

are not likely to allow such natural competition, even though the cost

is millions of needless deaths and untold suffering.

A better plan for maintaining and increasing profit is to continue to

bring new drugs into the market place which treat only symptoms and have

serious side effects that lead to still more drugs in a never ending

cycle so that by the time a male American reaches 65 years of age, he

takes an average of 15 prescribed and over the counter medications -

when it all started out with one or two conditions that could have been

treated safely and effectively by natural means. A good model for

profit, but a horrible one for humanity.

We now have over 15,000 patented and approved drugs, 95% of which have

significant side effects. It is no accident that our doctors have been

taught for generations, just as we have been, that the way to treat

illness and disease is to prescribe approved medications – medications

that are made by the single largest source by far of funding for medical

education: the world pharmaceutical companies. What exactly has this

mountain of medicine actually cured in the past half century? Certainly

not cancer!

By far the most effective way to beat and avoid cancer is to remove the

causes of cancer and to make your body as inhospitable to cancer and

illness as possible. To understand what steps we should and can take, we

should understand what we know about cancer:

We know that:

* The development of cancer indicate

that our natural first line of defense, our immune system, has

been defeated and that the presence of either toxins and pathogens, o

some imbalance in our bodies have led to the development of cancer and

enabled it to gain an upper hand.

* Cancer cannot develop without an

impaired liver.

* Cancer cannot survive in an alkaline

environment, nor can it survive in a highly oxygenated environment.

* Detoxing and cleansing our colons and

liver helps restore balance, prepares our bodies to better be

able utilize natural immune boosters and cancer fighters and paves the

way to rebuilding our livers and immune systems.

* Cancer cells are diseased, impaired

and/or beset by pathogens and have lost the ability to to be die

naturally via cellular apoptosis and be replaced by healthy cells. These

cancerous cells simply become abnormal and outlive the other cells in

their normal cell life/replacement cycle and end up crowding out a

territory over time.

* Iodine, vitamin D, and potassium are

all vital to beat and

ward off cancer.

* Fresh air, pure water and sunshine are

also vital to maintain healthy bodies which can fight off and

beat conditions like cancer.

* A natural diet of uncontaminated raw

vegetables and raw fruits, with plenty of omega-3's and balanced

nutrition has been proven to be effective in numerous natural

anti-cancer protocols.

* A great number of natural botanicals

and supplements, such as those containing beta glucans and other

long-chain polysacharrides, the oleander remedy I have written

about, Colloidal Silver, Inositol (IP-6), the ABM mushroom,

South Africa's " Cancer Bush " sutherlandia frutescans, cat's claw, pau

d'arco, corialus versicolor mushroom, and many others have been proven

to boost the immune system, destroy pathogens, protect

our cells, and beat cancer.

* Sugar feeds cancer.

And so, when we go to an oncologist and are diagnosed with cancer what

is the prescribed treatment? Does it incorporate ANY of the above

elements? No, sadly it does not. Our doctor prescribes what he or she

has been taught: cut out, radiate or poison the symptom and do nothing

to address the underlying causes and natural imbalances that enabled led

to the symptom.

As a result, the way is paved for the return of the cancer or the

introduction of another cancer or serious condition. Even worse, the

road to further illness is often made easier due to the damage to the

immune system and major organs caused by the treatment of the symptom.

Nature, on the other hand, enables us to address virtually every area of

knowledge and concern. For example, the protocol I would recommend,

based on what nature has to offer us:

* As soon as possible, cleanse your body to get

rid of built up toxins like heavy metals and pesticides, as well as

the undigested food, fecal matter and gallstones that build up in the

body by cleansing your colon and liver and by

chelation to rid the body of heavy metals. Such contaminations are

breeding grounds for, and causes of, disease and illness. A toxic and

unclean body weakens the body's immune system that should be your first

line of defense. Plus, once cleansed, the body is much more

receptive to the good measures you take to rebuild your immune system

and fight disease.

* Cleanse your environment to the

greatest extent possible and eliminate bad habits. In an ideal world,

you would move to the country where there was plenty of fresh air and

sunshine and less stress. In the real world you may not find that

possible, so eliminate common toxins in your household, workplace and

other places you spend time.

* Immediately eliminate bad habits and

begin building build good ones so that you will make sure that

you no longer have habits that weaken your immune system and that you

will be able to build your body to fight and conquer illness.

A sedentary lifestyle with a poor diet, lack of pure water, sunshine

and fresh air, and constant exposure to toxins will in

time lead to bad health conditions. Remember, a bad health habit

is like an invitation card for illness and disease to enter your body.

* Begin and maintain a healthy

immune-boosting and cancer fighting diet. A good balanced diet, pure

water, fresh air, sunshine and exercise are some of theessentials. You

will find that a good diet does not have to be a bad tasting diet –

far from it! However, it should be noted that the very best and most

healthy diet is one that is close to the diet

our ancestors evolved to utilize: lots of fresh and uncooked vegetables,

fruits, nuts, roots and tubors, and fish and meat

uncontaminated by growth hormones, artificial fertilizers or pesticides

– and little or no grain or dairy products. It should be noted

that of all the foods, essentially only raw vegetables and fruits

contribute to an alkaline pH.

* Rebuild and strengthen the body's

natural immune system. It is very likely that a weakened immune

system contributed to your illness in the first place. It is absolutely

certain that a rebuilt and strengthened immune system will help you beat

your illness and keep it at bay. Again, good diet, nutrition and habits

are all important – they lay the

foundation for a strong and healthy immune system. However, they are not

enough by themselves. You want to build a good foundation and then make

your body a healthy fortress against

disease and illness. Quite simply, disease and illness hate healthy

hosts. The stronger your immune system is, the harder it is for disease

to survive and grow.

And, to be the very strongest you can

be, you need extra measures in the form of supplements as well as the

healthiest foods.

* Cleanse, restore and protect the liver before,

during and after your anti-cancer and -disease battle.

Cancer cannot develop unless the liver is impaired to begin with. Plus,

an effective cancer fighting regimen will result in the release of a

cascade of toxins that are released when cancer cells die. Such a

release can overwhelm an already impaired liver and can even be fatal if

measures are not taken to protect and regenerate the liver. Some of the

very best anti-oxidants to used to protect and regenerate the liver are

the ones used in the Berkson Clinical Study: Milk Thistle (silymarin),

alpha lipoic acid and selenium.

* Maintain an alkaline pH and get plenty of

oxygen to the cellular level. Cancer cannot survive in the presence of

an alkaline cellular pH level, nor can it survive in the presence of

highly oxygenated cells. Dr. Johanna Budwig of Germany has shown that

for proper cellular utilization of oxygen to take place, our diets must

contain adequate amounts of unsaturated fatty acids.

* Make sure you have plenty of iodine,

potassium and Vitamin D. All have been proven to be essential in beating

and avoiding cancer. As mentioned above, cancer cells have lost the

ability to be shut off by the body in what is called cellular apoptosis.

These cancerous cells simply become abnormal and outlive the other cells

in their normal cell life/replacement cycle and end up crowding out a

territory over time. Iodine goes in and both does away with the

surrounding cyst where cancer has set up residence and then also goes in

and allows the specific shut down of the individual cells that are

abnormal, diseased, or beset w/ pathogens to make room for new cells.

* Drink plenty of pure water and get plenty of

fresh air and sunshine. Water is essential for all healthy life;

however, regular tap water contains trace amounts of hundreds to

thousands of pesticides, carcinogens and other industrial pollutants.

For that reason, the author recommends only the purest drinking water,

such as reverse osmosis filtered water. Don't overdo the sunshine, but

sunshine is essential to the production of vitamin D, and, strange as it

may sound, has been found to be essential in warding off melanoma as

well as other cancers..

* Exercise in moderation.

Regular exercise does not have to be grueling, but it is essential.

Exercise stimulates the immune system, stimulates the production of

natural human growth hormone, stimulates the production of hormones and

pheromones that make us happier and healthier, and simply leads to a

longer and happier life period. It is not a coincidence that studies

have shown up that those who exercise only a few hours each week have up

to 50% less chance of developing many different kinds of cancer.

* The next element of beating your

disease and keeping it at bay is to go on the attack. As a matter of

fact, all of the elements of the this anti-cancer and -disease protocol

are elements of attack, because they make the body strong and

inhospitable to disease. What I am talking about here is more than

just making the body inhospitable to your disease – I am talking

about going on the attack and wiping it out! In the case of cancer,

there are many very potent anti-cancer supplements. such as the ones

listed above and several others.

One such supplement, the OPC product which is mostly oleander extract

along with Sutherlandia Frutescans, cat's claw and pau d'aro, has been

used for the past three years in South Africa to treat HIV and cancer.

Of approximately 350 HIV patients, all are still alive and well with

their symptoms either reversed or stabilized. Of 80 cancer patients,

some in very late stages, 72 are alive and well and either cancer free

or with their cancers in remission and tumors shrinking. Of the 8 that

did not survive, 5 were in their very final days and could not hold down

the supplement. Another three succumbed to organ failure as a likely

result of prior traditional Western treatment via chemo.

* Avoid sugar to the greatest extent

possible. Sugar feeds cancer and other illnesses and causes a myriad of

other health problems. Refined sugar is also the number one single cause

of health problems in the entire world!

* The final key to winning your battle is your

mental attitude. Remove as much stress from your life as you can and

believe that you are going to win. Stress and worry accomplish nothing

– worse, they are actually allies of illness and disease. You have

surely heard the term " stress, the silent killer " ? It's true! So you

must do whatever it takes to remove stress from your life and make your

mental attitude your ally. Meditate, take yoga, change jobs, retire, go

fishing, find a pleasant hobby – do whatever you must to remove

stress and have a positive mental outlook. Just remember, anyone who

introduces or keeps worry and stress in your life is neither a friend

nor an ally during this fight. And make no mistake, it is a fight -

likely the biggest one of your life. But it is a fight you can and will

win. Think it, believe it and live it!

Some in the field of natural health will tell you that you can beat

cancer through diet alone, or through diet and de-toxing. In many

instances that is true, and some of the most effective and popular

natural anti-cancer protocols, such as the Budwig Diet, are based on

such a premise.

However, in my opinion, the more weapons you have in your natural

arsenal, the greater your chances of success will be. That is why I

advocate including one or more of the powerful natural supplements that

have been proven to beat cancer and boost the immunes system, and which

address what we know about cancer.

Our depleted soils and the introduction of modern industrial toxins and

contaminants makes it hard to build a strong enough immune system

through diet alone - and our immune systems were not designed to handle

the modern toxins they face, which is why cancer is largely a modern

disease.

And for those of you who believe the big lie that the harsh and

ineffective options offered by the mainstream medical establishment that

has a half century record of broken promises to deliver a cure or

significant breakthrough are superior to nature, I ask: When did God

become a quack?

Live long, live healthy, live happy!

" The war on cancer is largely a fraud "

- Linus ing, two time Nobel laureate

" The FDA 'protects' the big drug companies and are subsequently

rewarded, and using the government's police powers they attack those who

threaten the big drug companies. People think that the FDA is protecting

them. It isn't. What the FDA is doing and what the public thinks it is

doing are as

different as night and day. "
