Chemotherapy will never be the cure of cancer. Cancer will only heal when the toxic load is decreased, an internal biochemical environment is achieved that only produces health and not disease and the mental and emotional toxins are released. When you get the chemicals and toxins (physical as well as mental and emotional) out of the body and the proper nutrients in, along with living a lifestyle of seven basic steps to total health (which include proper oxygen, water, food, sleep, exercise, fasting/detoxification and learning to live fully in the moment), then cancer and all disease can heal.

Is chemotherapy the best choice when you are diagnosed with cancer? To answer this you must look at what chemotherapy’s success rate has been. In an Australian study, researchers stated: “in lung cancer, the median survival has increased by only 2 months during the past 20 years and an overall survival benefit of less than 5 percent has been achieved in the treatment of breast, colon and head and neck cancers.” This study showed that chemotherapy’s 5-year survival in adults was 2.1 percent in the USA.

So if chemotherapy is not the cancer cure, what is? The answer is not found in curing the disease but in increasing the level of health in the body, so it can do what it was designed by God to do, which is heal. To heal cancer you must treat the cause and not the effect. You must balance all the systems of the body naturally instead of targeting one organ or gland with toxic medication that negatively affects all other systems of the body. Most importantly you must release the stored mental and emotional toxins that manifest as disease in the body.

According to the toxicology model of cancer formation, cancer is the end result of toxic buildup in the cells which causes them to dedifferentiate into cancer stem cells in order to survive in a toxic environment. The nucleus of the cell is where the DNA and genetic material are made. When toxins enter into the nucleus, the cell has one final attempt to survive: it dedifferentiates into a stem cell to try to adapt to this toxic environment. The stem cell can change into any cell type and grow very rapidly.

Toxic chemotherapy cannot heal cancer, but instead it only increases the toxic load in the cells more, which causes the cells to produce even more resistant cancer stem cells. The term in cancer therapy is MDR or multiple drug resistance. When these cancer stem cells are exposed to chemotherapy, they become resistant and even more aggressive in order to survive.

The dilemma arises when you keep putting more chemicals in the body to try to cure cancer and these very same chemicals cause cancer stem cells to become more aggressive. This is seen repeatedly with people that undergo chemotherapy; they see tumor shrinkage, but then the tumors grow back even more aggressively later. The reason this occurs is because chemotherapy does not kill cancer stem cells but only the outer core of the tumor, which is made of non-stem cell cancer cells. When cancer stem cells are exposed to these toxic chemicals, it simply makes them more aggressive and they produce more cancer cells, and the cancer will spread.

The only answer to cancer is found in bringing balance and homeostasis to each system of the body along with balancing the biochemical and mental/emotional states. When this is achieved, then healing will naturally occur, and the cancer stem cells will no longer have to produce more cancer cells because there will no longer be any toxicity in the body causing the cells to dedifferentiate into cancer stem cells. Alternative cancer treatment must focus on changing the internal and mental/emotional environment instead of trying to kill cancer cells. Focus on health and health will come. Focus on getting rid of a disease and you will always be magnifying the disease.

Thyroid cancer is a growing problem in the United States. Unlike other types of cancer, where the annual statistics have leveled off or even started to decline, new instances of thyroid cancer continue to rise. Last year more than 62,000 people were diagnosed with some form of thyroid cancer. That’s more than twice the number of cases diagnosed in 1990. The reasons for the steady increase in cases of thyroid cancer is unclear, but what is clear is that more and more people every year are undergoing treatment for the disease. Conventional medicine treats thyroid cancer with surgery and radiation, both of which are highly invasive and potentially harmful to the patient. Understandably, many people who have been diagnosed with this disease are looking for alternative therapies to combat the cancer and restore their thyroid gland to its optimal health.

Common Symptoms of Thyroid Cancer

Thyroid cancer can occur at any age, and it is three times more likely to affect women as it is to affect men. Thyroid cancer has many forms, and many different causes. The most common form, follicular thyroid cancer, is caused by a lack of iodine. This form of thyroid cancer is rare in the United States, as most Americans have a diet that provides adequate amounts of iodine. Papillary and medullary thyroid cancers are often caused by exposure to radiation or environmental toxins. The most common symptom of thyroid cancer is a lump or nodule in the thyroid gland or neck. This is often also accompanied by hoarseness, swollen lymph nodes, and difficulty breathing or swallowing.

Natural Treatment Protocols

Conventional treatments for thyroid cancer typically involve the surgical removal of all, or part, of the thyroid gland. Other conventional treatments include radiation and chemotherapy to shrink existing tumors. Due to the highly invasive nature of these treatments, many people are looking for all natural ways to prevent and treat thyroid cancer. The natural prevention and treatment, of thyroid cancer involves three basic protocols – diet, exercise, and the mind-body connection.

Diet and Lifestyle

To prevent, and treat, most forms of thyroid cancer certain lifestyle changes need to be made. First and foremost is diet. A vegan diet is recommended for people who wish to prevent and treat thyroid cancer naturally. An emphasis should be placed on organic vegetables and fruits, as this will minimize exposure to pesticides and other chemicals which may impede the body’s ability to detoxify itself. Foods rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, such as spinach, watercress, walnuts and flax seed, should be added to the diet. Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to lower the risk for a number of different diseases, including diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Vitamin supplements should also form a part of your nutritional protocol. Vitamins C, E, and B12 help to support the immune system, while selenium and lycopene have been shown to help reduce the risk of the recurrence of many cancers.

Exercise

Exercise is an important part of any natural cancer treatment. It primarily helps to strengthen and invigorate the body. Providing the body with the energy it needs to remain healthy, and to ward off potential disease. Regular exercise is also one of the easiest ways to detoxify the body. Tests have shown that many of the cancer causing toxins that we are exposed to on a daily basis can be sweated out of the body during regular, rigorous, exercise.

The Mind-Body Connection

One area that often gets overlooked in the treatment of cancer is the mind-body connection. Faith and spirituality play vital roles in the healing process. Prayer and meditation on God’s word can help cancer patients relieve stress, and increase the body’s innate healing energy. Prayer, and the mind-body connection, are vital elements in the all-natural treatment and prevention of cancer.

With thyroid cancer statistics continuing to rise, the all-natural approach to living cancer free becomes even more important. But with a healthy vegan diet, exercise, and by listening to the voice of God speak Truth to our heart, it is possible maintain the body’s total health, and to prevent or reverse thyroid cancer.

Water is essential to life. Most people know and accept this as a given. But the importance of water in our lives goes beyond simply quenching our thirst on a hot day. Water, in all of its purity, is essential to maintaining the total health of the body and in protecting it from a variety of disorders and diseases. The importance of hydration is often overlooked when people talk about natural cancer therapies. But it is one of the most important factors in the all-natural treatment and prevention of cancer, and the adverse effects of dehydration on the human body cannot be overestimated.

Water and Cancer – Causes and Effects

Two-thirds of the human body is comprised of water, and the cells and organs in our bodies depend on that water to perform a variety of vital functions. Water is necessary for the transportation of oxygen and nutrients throughout the body, and for the constant removal of waste and other dangerous toxins. When we allow our bodies to become dehydrated, we create an environment in which cancerous cells can more easily develop and replicate. Studies have demonstrated that cancer cells are unable to thrive in an oxygen rich environment, and when we allow ourselves to become dehydrated we inadvertently rob the cells and organs in our body of the oxygen they need to remain healthy and free from cancer. The effect of toxins on the proliferation of cancer is also well documented, and when a body becomes dehydrated toxic levels can build and lead to the formation of cancer cells and tumors. Another important factor to consider, is that when a body becomes even mildly dehydrated it will attempt to compensate by drawing water from less critical areas of the body, ultimately weakening the body’s defenses against a wider range of diseases and disorders.

Dehydration and Cancer Formation

Dehydration contributes to the formation of cancer in a variety of different ways:

• It Suppresses the Immune System – When a body becomes dehydrated, histamine production is increased. This can lead to an increase in vasopressin, a chemical that inhibits the normal function of the immune system. Increased histamine levels also affects the ability of bone marrow to produce the white blood cells which are instrumental in destroying cancerous, and precancerous, cells.
• It Can Lead to Critical DNA Damage – Proper hydration allows the body to expel waste and toxins. When toxins build up in the body, they can inhibit the normal flow of oxygen and nutrients to the cells. When this happens, the cell’s natural DNA structure can be damaged, leading to the proliferation of mutant, and/or cancerous, cells. Long term dehydration can lead to permanent damage to the DNA structure of the cells, allowing mutant cells to grow and colonize into tumorous growths.
• It Disrupts the Body’s Natural pH Balance – A healthy body has a pH level of between 7.3 and 7.4. When a body becomes dehydrated over a long period of time, the kidneys are unable to properly eliminate acidic waste. When this happens, the body’s pH level becomes unbalanced, causing acid levels to increase and alkaline levels to decrease. Studies have shown that cancer thrives in an acidic environment, so it is vital to stay properly hydrated in order to maintain the body’s optimal pH levels.

It you have cancer your water intake is even more important as a part of an alternative cancer treatment program. This is an absolute necessity making sure you drink at least 32 ounces per 50 pounds per day.

Hydrating for Health – How Much is Enough

If we accept that hydration is a key component in the natural prevention and treatment of cancer, we must then learn the best ways to keep our bodies hydrated. Water is the natural choice, but not all water is created equal. Unfortunately, tap water today contains a variety of contaminants that can prove to be harmful to our health. Consequently, distilled water, or water that has been filtered using a reverse osmosis method, is the preferred alternative to regular tap water. As to how much water a person should drink each day to prevent chronic dehydration, the amounts vary by individual according to lifestyle and certain health factors. A general rule of thumb however is roughly 16-32 ounces per each 50 pounds of body weight.

Chronic dehydration can lead to a number of adverse health conditions, not the least of which is cancer. Often, people may not even realize that their bodies are dehydrated. But to maintain the body’s total health, and to protect it from potential cancers, it is vital to keep the body hydrated through the regular intake of pure clean water.

Managing the chronic pain that accompanies cancer can be difficult for many patients. Typically, conventional medicine treats cancer pain with morphine, codeine, and other narcotics. These drug therapies do offer relief from the chronic pain associated with cancer, but that relief comes at a price. Pain relieving narcotics often come with dangerous side effects which can be injurious to the patient’s health, and in many cases can actually suppress the body’s natural healing abilities. Most of these narcotics are also extremely addictive, and many cancer sufferers are rightfully concerned about becoming dependent upon their pain medication. Consequently, an ever growing number of cancer sufferers are looking for alternative, all natural, techniques for managing their chronic pain.

The Importance of Natural Pain Management

Natural pain management is about more than simply finding relief from the chronic pain associated with cancer. Extended periods of chronic pain can lead to anxiety, sleeplessness, and depression, all of which can seriously detract from the body’s natural healing process. By utilizing the following all natural pain management techniques, cancer sufferers can find relief from their chronic pain without resorting to the often dangerous narcotics used by conventional medical practitioners. These techniques also allow patients to realize a sense of control over their personal health, which promotes a positive mind body interface that is so important to natural healing.

Natural Supplements to Combat Chronic Pain

There are many all natural herbal supplements that can be taken to combat the chronic pain associated with cancer. These substances provide the pain relief cancer sufferers need, without the harmful side effects of conventional drug regimens.

• Turmeric – Turmeric is a spice commonly used in many Indonesian and East Indian dishes. It is rich in Curcumin, which is both a natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. Curcumin’s anti-inflammatory properties help to block enzymes that cause swelling and pain. In addition, its antioxidant properties help to destroy free radicals, thereby inhibiting the reproduction of cancerous cells and the growth of tumors.
• Ginger – Ginger has been used for centuries as a natural treatment for nausea. Cancer patients often suffer from a lack of appetite caused by frequent bouts of nausea, and ginger can help to settle the stomach. Like Turmeric/Curcumin, Ginger is also an anti-inflammatory, and can help with general pain relief.
• Oregano Oil – Oregano Oil is rich in Carvacrol, and has an effect on the body similar to Morphine, but without the side effects. Oregano Oil should only be taken on a full stomach, and should be certified organic.
• Cayenne Pepper – Hot Chili Pepper powder, taken in water, has been shown to reduce the chronic pain associated with cancer by as much as 80%. The pepper powder and water mixture should be taken three to four times daily for best results. This mixture has also been shown to increase appetite and relieve depression, both of which are vital for cancer patients.

The Mind-Body Approach to Chronic Pain

In addition to herbal supplements, there are a wide range of mental exercises that can help to relieve the chronic pain associated with cancer. The mind-body interface is a powerful tool in coping with, and managing, chronic pain. Even conventional medicine is beginning to acknowledge the power of the mind-body connection.

• Living fully in the moment – If you were to be in tremendous pain and I said to you can you stand in this pain one second, your response would be yes but not much more than that. So that is the answer. Live one moment at a time trusting in God to be your answer to every question, problem or pain that is present.
• Prayer – The spiritual path to being pain free cannot be overestimated. Prayer, and meditation on God’s word, can bring about an inner sense of calm and well-being that allows patients to free themselves from the chronic pain associated with cancer. Cancer sufferers should set aside time each day to meditate on God’s word. Prayer is listening to God speak Truth to your heart. Once the Truth has been revealed then balance between the spirit, mind and the body can occur. This sense of calm and well-being will inevitably lead to relief of physical and mental/emotional pain.

Cancer sufferers must all come to terms with the chronic pain that accompanies the disease. An all natural approach to pain management offers the relief cancer patients are looking for, without the dangerous and often debilitating effects of conventional drug therapies.

The liver filters the blood stream, removing toxins and waste for excretion, and converting nutrients into fuel for the body. This process makes it especially susceptible to the growth of cancerous cells. There are two primary types of liver cancer, one that develops within the liver itself, and a secondary form that is caused by the movement of cancerous cells from other organs as the liver filters the blood stream.

For years, liver cancer has been more prevalent in the developing world than in the western world, but that is beginning to change. Recently, the diagnosis rates of liver cancer in the United States in particular, and the western world in general, have begun to rise. Conventional treatments for liver cancer rely heavily on surgery and chemotherapy. These assaults on the patient’s body seek to cure the disease by destroying the cancerous cells. Unfortunately, these techniques tend to damage the healthy tissue as well, and patients often find the cure as debilitating as the disease. Consequently, more and more people are looking to natural holistic therapies as a way of beating liver cancer and restoring their health.

Causes and Symptoms of Liver Cancer

The primary causes of liver cancer are over exposure to environmental toxins, alcohol abuse, and chronic disorders such as Hepatitis-B and diabetes. Smoking is also a major contributing factor to the occurrence of liver cancer in otherwise healthy patients. In some cases, liver cancer develops as the result of the metastasizing of a primary cancer in another part of the body.

The most common symptoms associated with cancer of the liver are:

• unexplained weight loss
• loss of appetite
• abdominal swelling and pain
• swelling of the legs
• an enlargement of the liver
• chalky, light colored stools

Herbal Treatments for the Cause of Liver Cancer

Cancers develop due to an abnormal functioning of the cells and tissues within the body. Many herbal supplements have been shown to help the body protect itself from abnormal cell growth, by both preventing the initialization of cancer cells and by destroying the abnormal cells that do develop. One of the most effective herbal treatments for the cause of liver cancer is Essiac tea. Made from a variety of herbs, including burdock, Indian rhubarb, blessed thistle, red clover and kelp, Essiac tea contains vital antioxidants that help to prevent the growth of cancerous cells. Recent studies have also indicated that Essiac tea may help to prevent the mutation of cells at the DNA level.

Other herbal supplements have been shown to provide protection for the liver, and to increase the liver’s potential for self healing. AHCC, a mushroom extract, can be used to enhance the immune system and to protect the liver from disease. Astragalus, coptis and barberry can also be taken to help prevent the multiplication of abnormal cells within the liver.

When taking herbal supplements, patients should work closely with their holistic clinician to design a dosage plan. As everything put into the body is ultimately filtered by the liver, cancer patients will want to be careful when taking any supplements to prevent the already compromised liver from being over taxed.

Nutrition Therapy for Liver Cancer

Good nutrition is the basis of any healthy, and health restoring, lifestyle. Liver cancer patients will want to transition to a more vegetarian based diet, with an emphasis on fresh organic fruits and vegetables. Some vitamin supplements can be taken to compensate for any lack of nutrients in the patients normal diet. Vitamins C and E, as well as beta carotene and selenium, can be taken to help boost the immune system and to help prevent the development of any related disorders as the body works to defeat the cancer that is attacking the liver.

The Power of the Mind

Mind-Body medicine plays a large part in the prevention of, and recovery from, all forms of cancer. A cancer diagnosis inevitably leads to stress and anxiety, which sap the native energy the body needs to heal itself. Prayer, and meditation on the word of God, plays a vital role in centering the spiritual well-being of cancer patients, and in helping them direct much needed energies to the healing process. Daily affirmations, drawn from the word of God, can provide a sense of tranquility in patients who are battling their cancer. By meditating on God’s word and who they are in the family of God, patients can achieve an inner calm that will release the body’s innate potential to heal itself.

Scleroderma is an autoimmune disease that causes a thickening, and hardening, of skin and connective tissues. The disorder is the result of the body producing an overabundance of collagen.

There are two basic types of scleroderma, localized and systemic:

1. Localized scleroderma most typically affects the skin of the hands, feet, and face, causing dry patches which become progressively thicker and harder.
2. Systemic scleroderma is a more serious condition, and typically affects the blood vessels, heart, lungs and gastrointestinal tract.

Left unchecked, localized scleroderma can lead to pain, disfigurement and a loss of dexterity. Systemic scleroderma, untreated, can often have life threatening consequences.

What Causes Scleroderma?

Scleroderma can be difficult to diagnose, and it is often mistaken for other connective tissue disorders. Particularly in the early stages, scleroderma can be mistaken for rheumatoid arthritis, or for the early onset of lupus. Like many autoimmune disorders, the exact cause of scleroderma remains unclear. Doctors have long believed that there is a genetic component to the occurrence of scleroderma in otherwise healthy individuals. More recently, studies have pointed to environmental factors that seem to be linked to the disease. Certain environmental hazards, such as silica dust, plastics and some pharmaceutical chemicals have been linked to the rising number of patients with scleroderma.

Conventional Treatments for Scleroderma

While there is no accepted cure for scleroderma, conventional medicine treats the symptoms with a wide range of corticosteroids, antibiotics, anti-inflammatories and immunosuppressent drugs. In extreme cases, surgery will be used to remove infected fingers or toes, or to repair affected organs. Some patients with systemic scleroderma have undergone kidney, heart or lung transplants in an effort to halt the advance of the disease. These treatments are not only highly invasive; they further compromise the total health of the patient’s body.

Individuals suffering with localized, or systemic, scleroderma are beginning to look for alternative treatments for their condition. Fortunately, there are therapies based wholly on natural ingredients and holistic methods that offer scleroderma patients new hope.

Alternative Therapies for Scleroderma

Scleroderma is an autoimmune disorder, and the best therapy for sufferers begins with the natural support of the body itself. Diet, lifestyle and nutrition play a large part in supplying the body with the materials it needs to achieve, and maintain, total health. Switching to a vegan diet, rich in organic fruits and vegetables, has proven to be effective in relieving the symptoms of scleroderma, and in slowing the advance of the disease. Meat, dairy, and other animal byproducts, are full of hormones, chemicals and antibiotics which force an otherwise healthy system out of balance. By eliminating exposure to these toxins, patients can restore their body’s ability to absorb and process the life giving nutrients needed to maintain its overall health. The resulting nutritional balance strengthens the body’s immune system, which can lead to a reduction in the occurrence of scleroderma symptoms.

Nutritional supplements also play a vital role in the natural treatment of scleroderma. Herbs such as Cleavers and Red Clover help to cleanse toxins from the lymphatic system and to purify the blood, allowing much needed nutrients to reach the skin and tissues. Mineral supplements can also be taken to support the health of both the skin and connective tissues of the body. These minerals help to hydrate the epidermis, and help to oxygenate the cells and tissues of the body so that they can repair themselves naturally.

Hope for Scleroderma Sufferers

Only those suffering with scleroderma truly know the pain, anxiety, and depression that can accompany the disease. Many patients feel helpless, as their bodies seem to turn against them. Anxiety and depression only exacerbate the symptoms, as vital energy is directed away from the self-healing process. Meditation on the word of God and prayer helps patients to redirect that energy, putting it to work returning their bodies to a harmonious balance. Many scleroderma patients find that a spiritual contemplation and meditation on the word of God, not only helps them deal more effectively with the symptoms of their disorder, but also allows their bodies to direct its energies to the attainment of total health.

Bladder Cancer is one of the most commonly occurring forms of cancer in the United States today. Over 75% of those diagnosed will be men, making bladder cancer the fourth most common cancer to affect the male population. The cause of bladder cancer is not entirely understood, but what is known is that smoking, alcohol consumption and exposure to certain environmental toxins all contribute to the occurrence of bladder cancer in adults. Typical symptoms of bladder cancer include blood in the urine, pain when urinating, lower back pain, loss of appetite and unexpected weight loss. Bladder cancer can be difficult to diagnose, as early symptoms can often be attributed to other conditions such as kidney stones or bladder infections. The good news is, when diagnosed early, recovery rates for bladder cancer patients are very good indeed.

Conventional Treatments for Bladder Cancer

Current conventional treatments for bladder cancer involve a series of highly invasive medical procedures. Surgery to remove tumors, tissue and whole sections of the bladder itself remain standard treatment for cancer sufferers. This is typically followed with radiation, chemotherapy and drug dependent treatments which further assault the body in an effort to cure the patient’s cancer.

For those stricken with bladder cancer, the available conventional treatments can seem daunting, adding further physical and emotional stress to an already harrowing diagnosis. Alternative treatments, based on natural and holistic therapies, can help patients fight the cause of the cancer that is attacking their systems, minimizing the need for invasive, and toxic, conventional techniques.

Nutrition and Bladder Cancer

Good nutrition remains the foundation for all naturally centered healthcare. Through good nutrition we help our bodies stave off sickness, and give our systems the tools they need to recover from any illnesses or disorders that do occur. Patients stricken with bladder cancer can do much to help resolve the cause of the imbalances in their body that triggered the disease through the application of good nutritional practices.

The first step in designing a diet for fighting cancer is to remove those foods that can exacerbate the disorder. Animal products, including red meat, poultry, cured or smoked meats, butter, cheeses and whole milk should be eliminated from the patient’s diet. Commercial meat and dairy contain large amounts of environmental pollutants, including pesticides, hormones and animal steroids. These chemicals can not only have an adverse effect on a person’s general health, they can also serve to feed and support the cancer that patients are trying to fight. Highly processed foods and foods high in refined sugars and sodium should also be avoided. These foods place an added strain on the body’s immune system, as it must work to eliminate toxins from the food. This takes vital energy away from the fight against the cancer.

Once the majority of toxic foods have been eliminated from the diet, it is important to replace them with foods that help to boost the body’s own immune system. Raw fruits and vegetables, preferably organic, should make up a large part of the new dietary regime. Fruits and vegetables that contain high amounts of quercetin and other phytochemicals that are essential to the immune system. Foods such as cranberries, blueberries, kale, broccoli, red onions and garlic, provide cancer fighting nutrients and enzymes that help to impede the further growth of cancer cells. Foods rich in the antioxidant lycopene, such as tomatoes, also help to prevent cancerous cells from damaging otherwise healthy cells within the bladder.

Vitamin supplements can also be added to the patient’s dietary regime to further bolster their immune system. Vitamins C and E help the body to maintain its natural health at both the cellular and DNA levels. Regular daily doses can be added to a patient’s already improved diet to help strengthen the body’s own ability to heal. Vitamin D is also recommended, as a regular dosage diminishes the activity of enzymes necessary to the growth of cancerous cells.

Exercise and Natural Therapy

In addition to any nutritional changes, it is important to begin a regimen of exercise and physical therapy to help strengthen the body at its core. Regular exercise can help boost a patient’s immune system and increase muscle mass. An exercise routine also gives the patient a greater sense of control over their body, and can help with the management of stress and anxiety. The addition of natural therapies, such as oxygen therapy, lymphatic drainage therapy along with balancing the nervous system, hormonal system, digestive system, and elimination system can also help to reduce stress on the organs, glands and tissues. Prayer and meditation are important in the reduction of stress, and the increased sense of emotional wellbeing adds strength to the body’s fight against cancer.

A diagnosis of bladder cancer can leave patients feeling afraid, and helpless. But by learning to be still and hear the voice of Truth spoken to the heart, trusting God to reveal each step of the journey, along with the help of a holistic clinician, and the support of family, patients can make the necessary lifestyle adjustments that will help their bodies and minds address the underlying cause of bladder cancer. These natural therapies help to support the body’s own healing powers, and create an environment in which the cancer cannot thrive.

Every cell in your entire body is replaced within one year. This means you are a whole new you in one year. The problem is if you keep doing what you have always done, you will get what you have always had, a physically as well as mentally/emotionally toxic, out of balance body that is prone to symptoms, conditions and diseases including cancer.

What is detoxification? It is simply ridding the body of chemicals, toxins and waste products that will cause premature cell death if not cleared from the body. If these toxins build up to high levels and enter the cells then they can cause the cells to dedifferentiate into cancer stem cells. If this occurs alternative cancer treatment becomes vital to restore ones health.

As you fast, you eliminate these three:
1. Toxins and chemicals
2. Non-vital tissue
3. Pathogens

Once you start to fast, the garbage that has been stored in your cells for the last 30-40 years finally has a chance to be released. This begins with toxins, chemicals, and drugs stored in the tissues. Then you begin to eliminate all the non-vital tissue, the cysts, tumors, edematous fluid and finally all the harmful bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi and any other pathogens are removed by your white blood cells or they simply die because they are no longer being fed.

The old is gone, the new has come. First, you need to remove all the old cells and tissues that have been filled with chemicals, toxins and pathogens. Next the new cells and tissues are rebuilt in a pure (toxin and chemical free) state. Since every cell in the body is replaced within one year if you plant new seeds today, you will get a new harvest within one year. Stomach cells are replaced within days, liver cells within 6 weeks, blood cells within 3 months and brain cells within one year.

In fasting, all non-essential cells, tissues and fluids are broken down back into their component parts of amino acids, essential fatty acids, simple chain sugars, enzymes, vitamins and minerals. This includes tumors, cysts, scars, edematous and extraneous fluids. Then the miracle of fasting reorganizes these component building blocks and reuses them to rebuild the “new” body of health and wholeness so one does not become deficient. The body turns non-essential tissue into essential tissue.

Fasting and detoxification complement alternative cancer treatment by making an environment that pathogens (which include): bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungus, yeast and cancer cells cannot live in. What is the connection between all these pathogens? They thrive in high sugar and low oxygen environments. What does fasting and detoxification do? They make the reverse environment, one of low sugar and high oxygen. This environment promotes health and prevents disease like cancer.

Sixteen percent of women who underwent chemotherapy for breast cancer experienced serious adverse effects requiring emergency care or hospitalization, according to a new study supported by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ).

Most of the adverse events were related to serious complications caused by the toxicity of the drugs. These complications, which included anemia, dehydration, and reduced production of white blood cells, also augmented the costs of care.

The odds of experiencing a serious adverse effect increased by 20 percent per month for each additional month of chemotherapy administered to women after their initial breast cancer diagnosis.

“The study highlights the importance of studying how drugs affect people in everyday medical care,” said AHRQ Director Carolyn M. Clancy, M.D. “It is important to know the impact of interventions such as chemotherapy so that patients can make informed decisions about the risks and benefits of their treatment options.”

The study is the first to analyze the risks of serious adverse effects from intravenous chemotherapy in women under age 65 since medications to treat the complications of chemotherapy became more available, the report’s authors said.

More than 8 percent of the women who had chemotherapy were seen in the emergency room or were hospitalized for infection and fever. The proportion of women treated for other chemotherapy-related problems included:

• Neutropenia or thrombocytopenia—disorders that reduce the production of white blood cells or platelets—5.5 percent.
• Electrolyte disorders such as dehydration—2.5 percent.
• Nausea or diarrhea—2.4 percent.
• Fatigue, dizziness and related conditions—2 percent.
• Deep venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolism—1.2 percent.
• Malnutrition—just under 1 percent.

The researchers, who were led by Michael J. Hassett, M.D., with the Harvard-affiliated Dana-Farber Cancer Institute,
– Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, Rockville, MD.

Dr. Keith and Laurie Nemec’s comments on chemotherapy treatment for cancer has greater complications.
To review, this article it is important to understand that 60% of the women who underwent chemotherapy for breast cancer experienced serious adverse effects as the studies shows requiring emergency care or hospitalization. Interesting is these women exhibited anemia and dehydration and reduced productions of white blood cells. Why? because chemotherapy is poison in the body. And when we put poison in the body, the body reacts. The white blood cell count goes down and this is vital because you need the white blood cell count to go up to fight the cancer. The odds of experiencing adverse effects increase by 20% per month for each additional month of chemotherapy administered to women after initial breast cancer diagnosis. Other interesting studies apart from this study, have shown that in 96-98% of cancers, chemotherapy does not eliminate the disease.

And in the vast majority of cancer such as breast, colon, and lung cancer, they are barely even touched by chemotherapy. Also in additional studies they showed that typically an anti-cancer drug is found to cause a response which is to find as a 50% or greater shrinkage of measurable tumors from one month or more. But this shrinkage of tumor is not the same as extending lives. In case after case, shrinkages are shown not to increase median overall survival. This shrinkage of the tumors, does increase median overall survival when the shrinkage is found in natural methods with the diet and lifestyle changes and other alternative cancer treatment methods.

Chemotherapy suppresses your immune system. Tumor shrinkage has absolutely no correlation with the cure of cancer and the extension of life according to Dr. Ralph Moss. A new study confirmed that some women with breast cancer who received chemotherapy in addition to surgery and radiation have a 28 times greater chance of developing leukemia, than those who avoid such drugs. So to sum this up, the choice is yours but you have to know the risk that is involved when we you put chemicals and toxins and chemotherapy into your body. And also you have to understand that your decisions of what therapies to do should always be lead by the faith of what God puts into the heart instead of the fear that the world system and the medical system puts into your mind.

The next is to be still and wait on God, wait until He confirms your direction of therapy whether it be alternative, whether it be standard conventional chemotherapy, radiation and surgery or whether it be a combination of the two. Again if you follow your heart, the peace will come. And usually that peace does not initially have a peace in the mind because the heart and the mind are usually opposites. So, if a person has a peace in their heart to do alternative therapies then they should do that and do it with all their being.

And if a person has a peace doing standard chemotherapy, radiation and surgery, they should at least do alternative therapies with to soften the devastation of the poisons that are being put into the body. Standard chemotherapy, radiation and surgery especially the chemotherapy destroys cancer cells but also destroys your immune system as the study showed a 28 time greater chance of developing leukemia, cancer of the blood. So if you are going to destroy the body, you need to at least build it back up. So the choices really should be either alternative therapy only, or alternative therapy and standard chemotherapy, radiation and surgery
