Active Cancer Tips
Here are some general guidelines for active cancer patients.
Whether you have taken the plunge into Chemo/Radiation or if you are going solely with all Natural Treatments, these tips will hopefully help you to gain health and energy. Below you will find suggestions to help your body cleanse with herbs and supplements as well as other important steps to beat this deadly disease called Cancer.
One website that I found for general information for the newly diagnosed cancer patient is: http://www.blochcancer.org Some information at that site may be helpful, it is a bit more for those who are medically minded.
A site which I find much more helpful and put together by someone whose opinions I respect very much you can find here http://www.russtanner.com/Cancer/index.html
Russ Tanner has done a lot of research prior to putting this page together. You must have an open mind when searching for answers. Research.... research.... research..... and then research some more!
Active Cancer
Suggestions for Improving your Health – Please consult with a health care professional for information specific to your type of cancer.
1) Reduce Stress: In everyway you can.
a. Listen to spiritual and uplifting music.
b. Limit TV viewing, listen to positive messages instead.
c. Cancel or postpone as many outside commitments as possible.
d. Cease use of alcohol and smoking, reduce or eliminate caffeine and make dietary changes (see below).
e. Laugh as much as possible.
f. Enjoy fresh clean outside air - whether you are up for a short walk or just sitting on the porch for a short time each day.
g. Practice deep breathing - move that oxygen through your body, and help your Lymphatic system cleanse you with each deep breath.
h. Massage is very theraputic.
2) Get support:
a. Contact people for prayer and assistance.
b. Let others know you are going to be in a health care situation.
c. Accept help from Friends and families when they offer. Ask for help when you need it.
d. Research your cancer and options.
e. Make sure your health and financial records are up to date and accessible.
3) Diet changes (generic – consult with a health care professional if there are any special conditions for your situation.)
a. Know or find out your blood type. Get a copy of 4 Blood Types, 4 Diets, Eat Right for your Type ~ By Dr. Peter J.D'Adamo and select beneficial foods for your blood type.
b. Drink Pure clean water. Purchase or use a water filter (see our specials section for the Reverse Osmosis unit on sale) and drink half your body weight in ounces daily.
c. Buy organic or wash fruits and vegetables in Nature’s Sunshine Concentrate or salt water and lemon juice bath. I can not stress enough how important increasing your fruit and vegetable intake is. Eat them in their uncooked form as much as possible, or just slightly steamed.
d. Juicing: Optimize nutrition by juicing vegetables and drinking alone or with a green drink such as Ultimate Greenzone for easy to assimilate nutrition.
e. Balance acids by choosing alkalizing foods. Use pH strips to test if necessary. NSP has a great pH balancing brochure Stock #2836-1 explaining the necessity to balance your pH.
See http://www.herbsplus4health.com/page_phbalancing.html for more info on pH balancing. The food chart at the bottom of the page can help you with food choices to balance your pH)
4) Nutritional and Herbal Supplements - The most recommended protocol for cancer patients I have found are Paw Paw Cell Regulator, Immune Stimulator and Protease in combination with each other. If you wish to use these, order four bottles of each for the first month, then adjust your order as needed.
a. Paw Paw Cell Reg
For those with diagnosed cancer only. Please read fact sheet for full program (email me for a product sheet specific to this product or any others mentioned in this article)
• Selective for Abnormal Cells.
• The Only Standardized Acetogenin Product Available.
• Slows the Production of ATP in Mitochondria of Abnormal Cells.
• May Help Modulate the Growth of Blood Vessels Near Abnormal Cells
Note: Paw paw works through oxidative activity which may be slowed or stopped by strong antioxidants.
b. Immune Stimulator
• Stimulates Immune Defense System
• Activates Macrophages, T-Cells, and Natural Killer Cells
• Sets off Chain Reaction of Protective Effects
c. High Potency Protease or Protease Plus
• Provides supplemental protease enzymes that break down proteins into smaller proteins and amino acids, maximizing digestion.
• Activates Macrophages and Natural Killer Cells
• Digests Protein Compounds
• Full Spectrum of Plant-Derived Trace Minerals; Minerals Activate Enzymes 3X More Potent
Additional products which others have reported using successfully :
The following are products that are compatible with Paw Paw Cell-Reg, working synergistically with it, and which provide nutritional support to bodies under stress. As with all supplements, you may wish to consult with your health care provider for advice on their use. Many use the protocol mentioned above and then add other products as needed for their particular circumstances.
(Note: use of antioxidants is discouraged while using the paw paw. Other supplements are encouraged. Please email me if you would like me to email you the Paw Paw fact sheet.)
a. Pau D’Arco Tea: Drink several glasses daily
Related Products
PAU D'ARCO (270)
PAU D'ARCO/TAHEEBO TEA (70Z)
PAU D'ARCO LOTION (4 FL OZ)
PAU D'ARCO EXTRACT (2 FL OZ)
b. E-Tea (Essiac Tea formula) by Nature’s Sunshine
E-TEA - This is NSP's encapsulated form of traditional Essiac Tea.
In 1922, Canadian nurse Rene Caisse received a recipe for a special tea from a hospital patient that had consulted an Ojibwa Indian medicine man. This woman had been dealing with cellular abnormalities, and the tea helped her recover her strength and vitality. Rene used the same tea recipe to help her aunt who had a similar health challenge. Its popularity caught on, and eventually thousands were using it. It became known as Essiac tea, Caisse’s name spelled backwards. E-Tea contains burdock root, sheep sorrel herb, slippery elm bark and Turkey rhubarb root. It supports immunity and helps detoxify and purify the blood.
c. Golden Salve - This is a soothing ointment containing extracts of comfrey leaf, golden seal root, yarrow flower, white oak bark, black walnut hulls, marshmallow root, lobelia herb, scullcap herb, myrrh gum, mullein herb, wheat germ and chickweed herb in a base of olive oil, beeswax, vitamin E and eucalyptus oil. Use externally to soothe and moisturize rough, chafed or chapped skin and lips. Apply liberally as often as needed.
d. Lymphatic Drainage
• Helps Body Perform Natural Lymphatic Drainage Function
• A natural and pure extract composed of the finest cleavers herb (Galium aparine), red clover tops (Trifolium pratense), stillingia herb (Stillingia sylvatica), and prickly ash bark (Zanthoxylum clava-herculis) in vegetable glycerin.
e. Cordyceps
• Glandular, Circulatory, Respiratory, and Immune System Support
• Nature's Sunshine uses a proprietary process in cultivating Cordyceps sinensis, providing a premium quality and standard of this rare, wild-crafted botanical harvested from the high plateau of Tibet.
• Cordyceps is a unique dietary supplement purported to have more pronounced benefits than ginseng in energizing the body's systems. This supplement helps support the body when experiencing symptoms of fatigue, promoting stamina and healthy lung function.
f. L-Carnitine - Amino Acid supplement utilized by the body for proper energy and fat metabolism.
g. Astragalus Root
• Helps Stimulate Immune Response
• Adaptogenic Herb - Helps the Body Cope with Stress
• Helps Stimulate the Body's Natural Production of Interferon
h. Aloe Vera juice
• A nutritional storehouse, naturally rich with several vitamins plus 18 amino acids, in addition to many other nutritional substances. It benefits the intestinal system.
• Nature's Sunshine's Aloe Vera Juice can also be taken internally plain or with juice or water. 2-6 oz. daily. Can sooth swallowing discomforts problems, thrush and increased yeast problems in the mouth, help alievate constipation and heal intestinal areas.
• Used externally, it is known for its hydrating and moisturizing properties and can be very healing to irritated skin.
i. Flax Seed Oil - Nature's Sunshine's Flaxseed oil is of the purest form you can purchase on the market. Many have used flaxseed oil for cancer treatment and prevention (see testimony below). This is something I strongly believe should be added to everyone's diet regardless as it can also help in the following conditions: High Cholesterol Levels, Prevention of Strokes and Heart Attacks, Angina, High Blood Pressure, Arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis, Psoriasis and Eczema, Cancer Prevention and Treatment, Allergies, Asthma, Calmness Under Stress & Vitality
• The human body cannot function properly without two polyunsaturated fats - linoleic and alpha-linolenic acid. These fatty acids, which are found in Flaxseed Oil are truly essential to normal cell structure and body function. These acids found in omega-3 oils such as Flax Oil have been extensively studied for their beneficial effects on the human body.
• Here is a testimony shared on how adding Flaxseed oil and cottage cheese to the diet helped one man who was diagnosed with Advanced Prostate cancer. http://www.beckwithfamily.com/Flax1.html
In this article Clifford Beckwith gives testimoney on ideas of a Dr. Johanna Budwig in Germany. She is a Biochemist and blood specialist who has been treating cancer of all kinds with nothing but cottage cheese and Flaxseed Oil for over 16 years. Depending on the severity of the condition Dr. Budwig recommends between 3 to 6 Tbsps. of Flaxseed oil a day, with at least 4 oz or 1/2 cup of cottage cheese per day.
5) Environmental Helps
a. Consider an eco-friendly source of laundry detergent, fabric softeners and cleaning products. Nature's Sunshine Concentrate works well here.
b. Reduce exposure to air pollution. Use an air cleaner or diffuse essential oils in your home.Search for your favorite E.O.'s here. Don’t use artificial air sprays or perfumes. Use natural products for teeth and deodorant (Lavender Essential Oil neat or Nature's Fresh or add a few drops the Lavender E.O to Nature's fresh), facial and skin cleaning. Search Personal Care products here.
c. Take a detoxifying Non-toxic warm bath. Use products such as Nature's Sunshine Concentrate as your bath bubble, Natria Body Wash as a mild soap, & Herbal Shampoo. You can also add a little of your favorite essential oils as well. Let yourself soak at least 20 minutes, and allow your body to detoxify. After bathing or showering do an all over body spray using the Nature's Fresh and let it air dry.
This information is intended for educational purposes. If you desire to purchase any mentioned products. Please go to www.mynsp.com/herbsplus Most importantly, make sure you are getting good amounts of nourishment as you are trying rebuild your body systems. Also you want your body to cleanse slowly. You do not want to deplete your system by cleansing too quickly. Many have had success using products mentioned in this article but unfortunately cancer is such a terrible disease and there are no guarantees that they will work on everyone. So much depends on each individual and I just pray that some of these ideas will help you regain health and energy. My Prayers are with you.
A personal note: In 1991 I lost my brother David (age 35) to a brain cancer called Astrocytoma Glioma. I wish I knew then what I know now. Since his passing I have been very focused on my quest to find answers to possibly help someone out there. I hope that something contained in this article and others which I post will help those who have been diagnosed with cancer (and other diseases) and happen to land on this web blog. If these things help you I hope you will commit to continuing lifestyle/dietary changes for life so to lessen your chances of having these cancers return. Take the extra step to help others you love make changes to their diet and lifestyle so they will never have to find my web site or others like it in their future. Walk with God and Pray often!
