Can I Choose Alternative Healing for Cancer?

So, you have been to the doctor and got the dreaded diagnosis - the Big C! The world as you knew it just ended and a new chapter has started, but how do you deal with it?

At the doctors office we are only given three choices, surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. What if that does not suit and you feel deep down that it is not the way for you to go. Some feel comfortable going along with conventional methods such as surgery, radiation and chemotherapy and some, like me, needed to find something else. All of us are different and what suits one does not necessarily suit another. Most doctors know nothing about alternative healing for cancer and have little patience for people who want to do it that way, so basically we are on our own and have to educate ourselves by researching the options available to us. We need to feel comfortable so that we can choose our preferred treatment without threats or criticism.

I chose alternative healing for cancer and I am glad I did because it was successful. It is a very personal thing having cancer and deciding on what is the best way to tackle it. The protocol I used suited me well but my protocol may not suit someone else.
I will outline the protocol I used but also other successful alternative healing protocols to show that there are choices and there is something to suit everyone and we can confidently take control.

FIND OUT THE TRUTH

"Over the past decades, hundreds of caring, concerned, and conscientious alternative healers have been jailed and abused like common criminals for the "crime" of curing people of life-threatening diseases in an "unapproved" manner by heavy-handed government agents who swoop down on clinics with drawn guns, flax jackets, and Gestapo manners. All the while, these same agents and agencies posture themselves before TV cameras and the public under the ludicrous pretense of being servants of the people and protectors of the common good.

The medico-drug cartel was summed up by J.W Hodge, M.D., of Niagara Falls, N.Y., in these words: 'The medical monopoly or medical trust, euphemistically called the American Medical Association, is not merely the meanest monopoly ever organized, but the most arrogant, dangerous and despotic organization which ever managed a free people in this or any other age.

Any and all methods of healing the sick by means of safe, simple and natural remedies are sure to be assailed and denounced by the arrogant leaders of the AMA doctors' trust as fakes, frauds and humbugs
Every practioner of the healing art who does not ally himself with the medical trust is denounced as a 'dangerous quack' and impostor by the predatory trust doctors. Every sanitarian who attempts to restore the sick to a state of health by natural means without resort to the knife or poisonous drugs, disease imparting serums, deadly toxins or vaccines, is at once pounced upon by these medical tyrants and fanatics, bitterly denounced, vilified and persecuted to the fullest extent.'

At long last, however, the public's consciousness seems to have finally reached a critical mass and is now beginning to seriously question the efficacy and appropriateness of using orthodox therapies and allopathic medicine in general. Thank God. It's been too long overdue."

The Alternative Healing Cancer Diet

"Many people have cured their cancer using nothing but a massive change in their diet!! And I will add now that a bad diet during a cancer treatment has destroyed many alternative cancer treatments!! Something as simple as adding refined salt to your foods may destroy an entire cancer treatment!!"
"Hear this: THE CANCER DIET IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS THE CANCER TREATMENT. IF THE CANCER DIET IS NOT, IN AND OF ITSELF, TREATING THE CANCER, THEN IT IS INTERFERING WITH THE CANCER TREATMENT!!! " www.cancertutor.com

The cancer diet is a huge lifestyle and diet change and it is extremely strict. It is important to know which are the cancer fighting foods because they are the only foods permitted. It is essential to know what not to eat as it can destroy the effect of the cancer diet. No-one can or should embark on such a serious lifechanging journey without the support and guidance of a professional natural remedies expert.
It is the single most satisfying and rewarding undertaking anyone could do. It could save your life as it has saved many thousands.

Why Not Surgery?

Credit: Free photos from acobox.com
The first rule of orthodox medicine is to surgically remove the parts of the body with the most cancer. They do this even if the cancer has spread further and is beyond their ability to remove it all. The body's immune system then goes to work to repair the damage done by the surgery leaving the remaining cancer cells under less attack and free to keep dividing and proliferating.

Normally alternative medicine methods would never recommend surgery for cancer unless the tumour is interfering with some vital function or causing pain or presenting psychological problems for the patient.

Alternative treatments rarely use surgery but treats the patient's cancer by strengthening the immune system, thereby healing the whole body without damage, thus giving it the best chance for recovery. Neither surgery, chemotherapy nor radiation stop the spreading of cancer. Only the immune system, a special alkaline diet, etc. can stop the spreading of cancer.

Dr. Hardin Jones, professor of medical physics and physiology at the University of California, Berkeley. He told an ACS panel, "My studies have proven conclusively that untreated cancer victims actually live up to four times longer than treated individuals. For a typical type of cancer, people who refused treatment lived for an average of 12-1/2 years. Those who accepted surgery or other kinds of treatment lived an average of only three years. . . . I attribute this to the traumatic effect of surgery on the body's natural defence mechanism. The body has a natural defence against every type of cancer."

Why Not Radiation ?

Credit: Free images from acobox.com
Radiation therapy is the use of high energy, penetrating radiation (x rays, gamma rays, proton rays, and neutron rays) to kill cancer cells. The primary purpose of radiation therapy is to eliminate or shrink localized cancers.

Radiation therapy comes with significant side effects, for instance in the case of prostate and rectal cancer it can cause diarrhea, bleeding, rectal pain and incontinence. In cervical and bladder cancer radiation can cause severe pain and bleeding due to inflammation of the bladder.
Radiation to the head, mouth and neck can cause bone, skin and oral tissue damage. Open wounds, mouth ulcers, increased likelihood of hemorrhages, pain on swallowing and loss of taste. Radiation to the brain can result in memory loss, impaired thinking ability, reduced sexual desire, hormonal changes, personality disturbances, sleep disruption, nausea, unsteadiness, and visual changes. These effects often show up months or years after radiation treatment.
Long term side effects include the recurrance of cancer 10 - 20 years later.

"In many instances the relative merits of different kinds of radiation treatment, the limits of its usefulness and the extent of its effectiveness have never been clearly established through clinical trials. This has led to a situation where on the one hand the treatment is almost universally available, yet on the other hand there is very little solid evidence comparing the effectiveness of radiation to various other treatment approaches." EnCognitive.com

Why Not Chemotherapy?

Chemotherapy is the use of drugs in an effort to kill cancer cells. Unfortunately chemotherapy drugs are unable to differentiate between the cancerous cell or the healthy cell and surrounding healthy tissue. In a nutshell, chemo is an intravenously administered poison that kills all rapidly dividing cells.

Worst hit by the chemo is your precious immune system. Either you, or someone you know (or knew), has experienced the side effects of chemotherapy - nausea, vomiting, mouth sores, weakness, fatigue, dizzy spells, loss of appetite, loss of hair and oftentimes a sense of
deep depression. In many cases the body cannot recuperate quickly enough to adequately protect from common illnesses. Statistics show that up to 67% of people who die during cancer treatment do so because of infections arising as a direct result of reduction of white blood cells, an integral part of the immune system. The immune system failed because of, and as a result of the aggressive and toxic nature of the drugs.

Furthermore, chemotherapy is so toxic that if a person used enough chemotherapy to kill all of their cancer cells, the patient would die long before all of their cancer cells died.

One of the great deceptions of orthodox medicine is that they can put people into "remission." You can rest assured when a person's immune system has been destroyed, and many, many cancer cells have survived the treatment, a cancer patient can never be truly in "remission." Their cancer will always come back because the balance has not been restored.

Important Information!

"The most important decision any cancer patient can make is choosing an alternative cancer treatment that is strong enough for their situation and in finding an expert to teach them what they need to know to use it! The choice of an expert is as important as the treatment itself!"

How Does Alternative Healing for Cancer Work?

Normal mainstream treatment following a cancer diagnosis is surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. Some of these treatments are successful if the cancer is caught early but the success rate for these same treatments for advanced cancer is virtually nil as statistics show that only 2-3% of people get any benefit from chemotherapy.

It puts the argument forward that advanced cancer should be treated differently.

Every human being has cancer cells in their body but these cells are easily killed as soon as they are formed if the immune system is strong. There needs to be a balance between the number of new cancer cells in the body, and the strength of the immune system to ensure the cancer cells will never grow out of control. It is when the immune system is weak that cancer fighting ability is lost.

Alternative cancer treatments gently kill cancer cells without toxic side effects while strengthening the immune system and alkalizing the body to create an environment in which cancer cannot survive. When the balance of the body is restored, it is cured of cancer.

There are more than 400 different natural alternative ways to kill cancer. Because alternative cancer treatments TARGET cancer cells and do no harm to non-cancerous cells, these treatments can be used in much higher doses than conventional cancer treatments which makes them far more effective.

Alternative Healing for Cancer with Dr. Johanna Budwig Protocol

This Is The Protocol I Chose To Heal My Cancer

In the 1950's, Dr. Budwig developed a cancer protocol which is touted to be one of the best alternative cancer therapies in the world today.

Dr. Budwig, a seven time Nobel Prize nominee, held a PhD in Natural Science, underwent medical training, and was schooled in pharmaceutical science, physics, botany and biology. Dr. Budwig specialized in the study of fats and oils and the benefits or harm to our bodies depending on the type of fats we eat.

Dr. Budwig is best known for her extensive research on the properties and benefits of flaxseed oil combined with sulphurated proteins in the diet and has assisted many seriously ill, even terminal people given up by their doctors, to regain their health through a simple regimen of nutrition.

The basis of Dr. Budwig's protocol is the use of flaxseed oil blended with cottage cheese/quark. The mixing of the oil and cottage cheese allows for a chemical reaction to take place between the sulfur protein in the cottage cheese and the oil, which makes the oil water soluble for easy absorption into your cells. This reaction infuses cells with oxygen, helps increase metabolism, boosts the immune system, reduces cholesterol levels and helps inhibit cancer cell growth. (Cancer cannot grow in oxygen).

This is so simple that you would be forgiven for thinking how ridiculous this is for a cancer cure but together with other strict guidelines, that is exactly what it is - a cancer cure.

Another fantastic bonus with this recipe is, even if you are having chemotherapy, the side effects of it will be drastically reduced, even where people do not even lose their hair.

"CANCER IS EASILY CURABLE, the treatment is dietary/lifestyle, the response is immediate"
-- Dr. Dan C. Roehm M.D. FACP (oncologist & former cardiologist) in "Townsend Letter for Doctors".

The Breuss Cancer Cure

42 Day Juice Fast

Rudolf Breuss was an educated man from Austria who had an innate understanding of the human body and a love for humanity. He turned his attention to finding an alternative, gentle treatment for cancer and other diseases because conventional treatments were invasive and not often successful.

Breuss believed that cancer is a disease of total toxicity and put his patients on a juice fast which effectively removes metabolic waste and frees cell membranes of the protein build-up around cells which prevents proper oxygenation. This treatment not only cures cancer but also eliminates many other problems like skin infections, obesity, infertility, kidney infections, constipation and dandruff, just to name a few.

The Breuss Cancer Cure is a 42 day juice fast. It is a program of combining particular vegetable juices with specially blended herbal teas. This treatment deals with cancer and other diseases by totally detoxifying and cleansing the whole system.

The treatment theory is to starve the cancer by deep detoxification using a combination of juices which consist of beetroot, carrot, celeriac, radish and potato. (Potato juice is one of the very best alkaline foods there is). Cancer can only exist in a sour or acid environment and this treatment makes the patient's system alkaline, providing no food for the cancer to feed on, thereby starving it. The special combination of juices and teas used in this treatment keep the body nourished as they are rich in vitamins and minerals, meanwhile allowing the metabolism to get back into balance.

The success of this treatment depends on it being followed exactly as directed.

It is absolutely essential, if you are intending to undertake a natural cancer treatment such as the Breuss juice fast, that you engage a natural therapist, like a Naturopath or Homeopath to supervise and guide you through the process.

Rudolf Breuss's organic juice recipe is made by the Biotta company of Switzerland according to his strict instructions. It is totally organic and the vegetables are pressed without heat and in a way which preserves all the live enzymes. Lactic acid is added to preserve the juice. If you are unable to juice the vegetables yourself, Biotta juice is available bottled from good health stores. His recommended herbal teas are also available at good health stores.

"Do not be afraid of cancer. The cancer lives on solid foods only so, if you only drink my vegetable juice and herbal teas for 42 days, the cancerous growth dies and you live"
A quote by Rudolf Breuss - from the book 'The Breuss Cancer Cure'

Up until 1990 approximately 45,000 (most probably more) cancer patients and patients with seemingly incurable diseases have recovered using this fast.

Something To Think About

"Thus, newly diagnosed cancer patients have several choices when they are diagnosed with cancer:
1) They can die quickly, be in incredible pain, and go bankrupt, by using orthodox treatments,
2) They can live longer and be in less pain by doing nothing,
3) They can extend their life by 10 times or more by using 10 grams of vitamin C by I.V. daily,
4) They can cure their cancer by rebuilding their immune system and safely killing all their cancer cells."

On-Going Health Check-ups After Cancer

How To Make Sure We Stay Cancer Free

Whatever cancer treatment we have decided upon, we still have to have regular health check-ups to see how we are going.

Let us look at some of the methods of testing on offer and compare safety aspects and/or accuracy.

Generally doctors offer Ultrasounds, Mammograms, CT Scans or MRI's.

Ultrasound imaging, or sonography is a non-invasive scan and does not use ionizing radiation (X-rays). Part of the body is exposed to high-frequency sound waves in order to produce pictures of the inside of the body. These images help doctors diagnose and treat medical conditions.
Although there are no known harmful effects on humans, ultrasound, for various reasons is not suitable for testing on the bowel, or on large patients and has difficulty penetrating bone, therefore is not a definitive test for the detection of cancer.

A mammogram uses low doses of radiation to scan breasts and is a diagnostic tool that screens the breast for possible problems and for hidden lumps. This test is highly promoted for the early detection and therefore prevention of breast cancer however, there are some downsides to mammograms, apart from the radiation exposure.

If a woman has high breast density then the mammogram can appear normal even though breast cancer is present, producing a false-negative result. Mammograms miss up to approximately 20% of breast cancers that are present at screening.

On the other hand false-positive results can occur when a radiologist believes a mammogram is abnormal but no cancer is actually present.

Significant stress can result from both of these miss-diagnoses, indicating that mammograms are far from ideal as a screening tool.

With CT scanning, numerous x ray beams and a set of electronic x ray detectors rotate around you. It is often the preferred method for diagnosing many different cancers, since the image allows a physician to confirm the presence of a tumour and measure its size, precise location and the extent of the tumour's involvement with nearby tissue. This is a good test but the body is exposed to radiation with this test and it is expensive.

An MRI scan uses magnetic fields, radio waves and a computer to take pictures of the inside of your body, but does not use radiation like the other scans mentioned. This is also a good test but very expensive.

Often, mammograms, CT Scans and MRI's are used when symptoms are already there, like an unexplained lump, but what about a safe, non-invasive test for extremely early detection of breast cancer, fibrocystic disease, an infection or a vascular disease and other cancers before a lump or other symptoms appear?

Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging (DITI) is such a test. DITI detects subtle physiologic changes in your body. It uses no radiation, is painless and has no contact with the body. This test allows the practitioner to visualize changes in skin surface temperature by using an infrared scanning device which converts infrared radiation emitted from the skin's surface into electrical impulses which can be seen in colour on a computer monitor.
.
The benefit of this test is that it can alert you to breast disease (and other disorders) much earlier than the usual self examination, doctor examination or any of the aforementioned tests.

DITI can offer protection from cancer developing by detecting and monitoring abnormal physiology years before you, your doctor, mammograms, X-ray, ultrasound, CT scans or MRI's are able to pick up anything.

This 15 minute test is valuable for alerting your GP or specialist to the possibility of underlying disease, meaning that preventative measures can be taken to stop any cancer before it develops.

If we understand the options available, it will enable us to make informed decisions regarding our on-going health status which is critical following a bout with cancer.

    Thank you, Robyn, for the invaluable information. One can prevent and cure cancer and other diseases simply by eating right. I fail to see why, after years of research and probably billions of dollars spent, our conventional medicine is still 'in the search of a cure'.
