Siberian Chaga Used in Russia as Cancer Drug

By Dr. Markho Rafael

Chaga grows as a black cankerous mass on birch, dead or living. It may rarely be found on beech, elm, ash or hornbeam as well.

Eurasians have used it for centuries to treat tuberculosis, digestion, and cancers of the heart and liver. [121]

Traditionally, the black "skin" of the mushroom was removed and the light inside boiled into tea. As a naturally compact remedy, it was conveniently portable to ancient healers.

Modern research on chaga has mainly focused on its potential application as an anti-cancer remedy. In Russia, this usage was already approved as early as 1955 to treat lung, stomach, breast and cervical cancers. [122]

One modern study from 1998 showed that chaga extract did in fact inhibit growth of cervical cancer cell lines under lab conditions. [123] Another study from 1995 reported that an isolate of the active compound betulin first inhibited growth of melanoma cells in a lab, and then killed them. [124, 25]

Further research has confirmed that some of the active compounds of Siberian chaga do decrease cancer cell growth. [125, 126]

The black color of chaga is caused by betulin, a medicinally active compound that makes up 30% of the skin. [127] The lighter inside of the mushroom is rich in fungal lanostanes. So chaga tea may be more effective if made with the whole mushroom, including the skin.

Even better are chaga extracts that are made with not only the whole mushroom but also the mycelium, because the mycelium contains higher levels of medicinal proteins than the fruit body of the mushroom.

Other research has found chaga to possess powerful anti-viral properties. In 1996, two studies published results of inhibitory effects on both influenza virus [127] and HIV. [128] Considering the nature of viruses, the most likely scenario is that chaga works on viruses by enhancing the body's own immune system, a theory confirmed by a paper published in 2002 and another in 2005. [25, 129] The same mechanism may explain the reported anti-inflammatory effect of chaga. [130]

Furthermore, alcohol extract of chaga mushroom has been found to lower blood sugar levels. [131] Chaga also demonstrates significant antioxidant properties that help protect the genetic integrity of the cells. [132, 133]

As an interesting anecdote that does not relate to human health but demonstrates the curative power of the Chaga mushroom, Paul Stamets mentions a Quebec arborist who uses a chaga poultice to cure chestnut blight. It not only cures the infection but the tree even becomes blight resistant after treatment. [134]

In his book Mycelium Running, Stamets also lists the following areas where research has shown chaga extract to have a beneficial effect: Bacteria; liver conditions; uterine cancer. [134]

Antioxidant Therapies - DMSO Infusions

By markus highland

The Origin

DMSO is dimethyl sulfoxide and A. Saytzeff, a Russian scientist, developed this in the year 1866. This DMSO to an all-natural lumber industry bi-product. Since 1866 many uses have been found for this substance.

The first thing to understand about DMSO is that it binds itself to free radicals. When this happens they become neutralized. In today's world we know that these radicals cause numerous diseases and can actually speed up the aging process in the blink of an eye. What it comes down to is that DMSO tries to destroy free radicals which help the diseases take shape.

This DMSO has been utilized by Dr. Revici in therapies since the year 1960 and has had a lot of success with it. Patients are searching out the therapy offered by Dr. Revici for any number of health conditions because the traditional treatments have not worked. Over the year people suffering with different types of cancer, HIV, Hepatitis and other viral diseases, allergies, autoimmune problems, addictions, asthma and many more chronic-type diseases have been able to have better health through the therapy he gives. Dr Revici died in the year 1998 but luckily for patients Dr Kramer, his grand nephew, took over his business and today is still treating people.

How DMSO Works to Improve Certain Health Issues

Since DMSO does neutralize the free radicals in the body, it can help improves many health issues. As we have said these free radicals do cause health issues to occur such as cancer, problems with kidneys and the liver, arthritis, Parkinson's disease, autoimmune diseases, Alzheimer's and different types of inflammatory type diseases.

The whole idea behind DMSO is to increase the blood circulation to the body's organs. While you may think of just your major organs, this process works throughout the entire body. Even people who experience swelling problems and issues that come along with it (carpal tunnel), can benefit from using DMSO.

The process is one of the most intriguing things you will learn about DMSO. The way it works is DMSO will mix into the water each cell holds. When this happens, the majority of the toxins will be flushed out and allow your body to heal at a faster rate.

Anyone who has issues with their immune system will enjoy the benefits of DMSO. Thanks to proper blood circulation and the DMSO blending with the water in cells, you will find the healing process works for bacterial and viral type diseases as well. Ridding yourself of all these things will help slow down the aging process.

DMSO infusions are being used by doctors along with traditional-type treatments to get more improved results fighting against the conditions talked about in this article.

While DMSO by itself is helpful, mixing it with other substances can be very affective against cancer. It actually attacks the cancer cells and literally kills them. Just keep in mind that DMSO isn't used by itself in the fight against cancer, but is most often mixed with Vitamin C or Cesium Chloride during the process.

Conclusion

In the end if you are suffering from anything that doctor's haven't been able to heal, you should look into DMSO. Even if it means asking your family physician about it and getting all the material needed to make a strong case for yourself. There are millions of people who use alternative medicine to combat diseases effectively. Why wouldn't you want to be apart of it?

Alternative Cancer Cure Teatment Options are Gaining Popularity and Trust

Medical science has taken great strides forward. However, the vulnerability to many diseases like cancer, remain. Thus, billions of dollars are spent on researching alternative cancer cure treatments every year through out the world. Alternative cancer cure encompasses methods, natural and otherwise, that go beyond the traditional realm of surgery, radiation or chemotherapy. Some of them are:

Physical Touch method
Amidst the varied alternative cancer cure methods, Manual Healing or the Physical Touch method is widely known. In its arsenal, you have the age-old Chinese practice of Acupuncture. Here needles are put in the skin into specific energy flow ways in order to balance it. Though it is a debatable point whether Acupuncture can actually cure cancer, it has been to be a definite pain alleviator.

Reiki
The Japanese observation of Reiki is another alternative cancer cure methodology, which also works along similar lines. A Reiki master can unclog your congested energy pathways to relieve you of the pain of the disease and the treatment.

Chiropractic
Chiropractic provides a remedy for musculoskeletal disorders by working on the spine and the neck. Chiropractors believe that this boosts the immune system by restoring the bodily balance that had gone haywire due to cancer.

Massages
Massages, though not proven effective as a cancer cure, provide relief from pain and discomfort.

Nutritional Therapy
Amongst the other kinds of alternative cancer remedy, Nutritional Therapy is the most widely publicized. It has been medically proved that some food prevent and can even cure some cancer forms like breast cancer. In fact, recent discoveries point out to the cancer-combating agents present in fruits like pomegranates and red berries.

Naturopathy and Homeopathy
Naturopathy and Homeopathy are grounded on similar lines. Both therapies believe in achieving bodily harmony, which in turn rouses the self-healing process, which can relieve the symptoms of many forms of cancer like prostate, colon, liver or skin. The core difference in these two cancer remedy methods lies in their modus operandi.

While Homeopathy is almost like vaccination, wherein trace amounts of cancer-inducing agents are introduced in the body in an attempt to trigger a defense mechanism to combat the disease, Naturopathy is actually an amalgamation of various methods like Homeopathy, usage of herbal substances or electrical treatment to achieve the requisite bodily balance.

Other upcoming alternative treatments include:

While many alternative cancer treatment methods agree to the use of natural processes, some like the oxygen and ozone therapies profess the injection of oxygen and ozone to retard the growth of cancer cells and even have them transmute into normal cells.

Recently gaining ground in the dominion of alternative cancer treatment methodologies is the Bristol Approach, combining physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual therapies, aimed at corporal and mental well being.

Its underlying philosophy shares ground with many holistic lines of treatment. These empower the mind to control the bodily processes. The Bristol Approach also incorporates numerous self-help techniques to aid the cancer patient during this treatment period.

The synergistic effect of these alternative cancer cure methods is far greater than when used in seclusion. The alternative treatment is doubly effective when used in conjunction with some conventional mode of cancer remedy.

Reasons Why Miso Soup Can Help Prevent Breast Cancer

By Jane Yamasaki

Miso soup is a famous Japanese soup that is not only healthy but rich in fiber, minerals, vitamins as well as protein. Miso paste is a mixture of rice, barley, soybeans, yeast, salt and water. This whole mixture is stored into wooden barrels where the process of fermentation will take place for as long as 3 years.

Miso soup is usually served as breakfast but you can serve it as a stand-alone soup course or an appetizer if you want to. This nourishing Japanese soup takes only a few minutes to prepare. You just basically cook the vegetables in dashi, which is a stock made with seaweed and dried sardines and then add in the fried tofu cubes and miso paste. There is also the instant miso soup but they are not really that delicious.

There are many types of miso soup that you can make at home and the flavor will depend on the type of miso and dashi you use including other ingredients. Many Japanese homes are not limited to only one type miso soup. In fact, there are basically 3 types of miso pastes, white, black and red where darker pastes taste saltier.

If you consume a bowl of miso soup every day, just like most Japanese do, you can reduce the risk of having breast cancer. This is attributed to the magic ingredient of fermented soy paste, used to make miso. Miso soup is also said to help regulate the hormone estrogen in women, a hormone that can cause tumors to develop.

Many health researchers also agree that miso soup can really help reduce the risk of having breast cancer. This is all based on the discovery that isoflavones which is found in miso soup, can help block out cells that can become cancerous. However, it is recommended that you drink at least three bowls of miso soup each week so that you can fully reap the benefits.

You Have The Power To Cure Cancer

By Rita Goldman

Is it possible to heal cancer by using your mind? Yes, it is a definite possibility. All of us have this innate power inside our minds to heal everything that has been ailing us, including cancer. There are a lot of cancer free people who can attest to this proven healing process. One of them is Louise Hay, the famous author of several self-help books who suffered from cervical cancer years ago.

Now at the age of 82, shes still living a happy and healthful life because she learned how to utilize her innate power to heal her cancer. Way back in 1977, she has discovered that she was inflicted with cervical cancer but she refused to undergo chemotherapy or other medical procedures that can supposedly heal cancer.

She said that her cancer manifested because she refused to let go of her troublesome childhood life when she was abused and raped. After learning the cause of her cancer, she forgave the person who abused and raped her, used self-hypnosis, meditation, proper nutrition, and other self help regimen to heal her cancer. And to this day, she is sharing this healing power of the mind through seminars, self-help books, audio recordings, and videos.

You can also live a cancer free life if you can learn how to let go of the things you resent, be it a personal experience, guilt, injustice, lack of self love, doubt, or anything negative that you still hold on to. These negative energies prohibit you from unlocking the true healing power of your mind.

If you can let go of these hindrances, you can do self-hypnosis or ask for the help from a hypnotherapist to finally heal your cancer. Always remember, you alone have the power to heal your cancer, no one else can do this for you.

Cancer Free Life Through Healthy Lymphatic System

By Rita Goldman

If we don't have a healthy lymphatic system, the risk of cancer development increases significantly. One of the ways to prevent cancer is through improving our lymphatic systems performance. We can do this by incorporating a healthy diet as well as ample exercise regimen that helps improve the circulation of our lymphatic system.

The normal circulation of the lymph fluid containing the white blood cells follow the upward motion which is in contrast to the earths pull of gravity. If we don't have a healthy circulation of the lymphatic system, chances are gravity will have a stronger pull on the lymph fluid. When this happens, there wont be enough supply of white blood cells all over your body, making you more vulnerable to diseases, including cancer. This kind of problem also diminishes the natural process of filtration by your spleen and liver because there is no ample supply of lymph fluids to be filtered.

A healthy intake of natural foods helps promote healthy bodily systems which also include lymphatic system. We should avoid foods that can cause blockage in the small lymph tubes where the clear lymph fluid passes through. This kind of impurity is quite similar to the cholesterol blockage in our blood vessels which is caused by eating foods high in fat. If you wanted to be cancer free, start taking care of your lymphatic system.

There are some forms of exercises you can do as well to promote healthy circulation of the lymphatic system. One of them is by incorporating inverted yoga poses. These inverted poses bring about faster circulation of the lymph fluid carrying the healthy antibodies that combats viruses, bacteria, and even cancer cells.

Another kind of fun exercise you can do is by jumping up and down on a trampoline. This exercise opposes the pull of gravity thus promoting a significant increase in the lymphatic systems circulation.

Heal Your Cancer Through Faith

By Rita Goldman

You have been diagnosed with cancer recently and you found yourself asking whether or not God loves you. You have been seeking the answer to your question, Why did this happen to me? Cancer may be the most devastating ailment that can inflict any person of any age. But this shouldn't hinder you from healing yourself. So how are you going to start walking on the road to wellness?

Always remember that there wont be any recovery taking place without your utmost strong belief that you will be healed. Even if you are undergoing chemotherapy, taking in medications, therapies and other possible cancer healing medical procedures, you wont be healed if you dont have faith.

What is faith anyway? Faith is defined as fully trusting the Supreme Power we all know of, God. It doesn't matter what kind of religion you have, whether you are Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Mormon, Hindu, or Jew, we all have our beliefs but we only believe in one Supreme Being.

Don't listen to your doctors who may not believe in faith healing your cancer but this shouldn't stop you from doing it. If you have no doubt that you will be healed, you will be. All of the accounts written in the Bible depicting the sickly people being healed during Jesus time were all healed because they have faith. Jesus even exclaimed, Your faith has healed you.

In the process of faith healing, no matter how painful your cancer symptoms might be and how bad you feel, never doubt on the power of God to heal your ailment. Never give up trusting Him, just offer all of your burdens to Him and pray. If you ever get the feeling of doubt, start praying. This will rid you off the negative doubt and will renew your faith. Always remember that all prayers are answered when you have the utmost faith in God.

Cure And Prevent Cancer Through Alternative Medicine

By Rita Goldman

What is alternative medicine? Alternative medicine is said to be the holistic approach to cure various diseases. Alternative medicine doesn't use any conventional means, or clinical procedures like surgery, radiation, chemotherapy and other medical procedures, to heal these diseases, including cancer. It also comes in many forms of healing such as electromagnetic therapy, essiac or mixture of herbs therapy, iscador or using the mistletoe extract, gerson therapy, and a few others more.

There had been little studies conducted about the effectiveness of alternative medicine but some people diagnosed with cancer who have undergone therapies like Ayurveda, an ancient Indian medical science, have sworn of the holistic approaches efficiency over the conventional forms of the medical world.

Why is this so? Well, we all know that people who have been undergoing chemotherapy, surgery, and other medical procedures also suffer from the aftermath symptoms of the medical procedures, which mostly include weakening of the body and unimaginable pain. The holistic approach through alternative medicine doesn't give any discomfort to the cancer patient. Instead, it provides an uplifting self discovery aside from the healing process immediately felt by the patient.

Most of the time, these various holistic therapies don't only cure cancer but also get rid of other forms of diseases already present in the body and even prevent someone to acquire new kinds of diseases. How do they do accomplish this? Well, its simple " therapists and alternative doctors teach their patients to practice a healthier lifestyle in order to balance their body channels from negative energies. They often believe that illnesses are caused by the body's imbalance of emotional, physical, and spiritual factors.

Some people who have been cured from cancer through alternative medicine didn't regain the cancer disease because they followed a healthier and balanced lifestyle. Because of this, alternative medicine can also be used for cancer prevention since patients learn how to evade the negative energies that alternative doctors believe to cause cancer.

Avoid Dairy Products To Prevent Cancer

By Rita Goldman

Prof. Jane Plant, PhD, CBE is one of the many women who battled against breast cancer and survived to tell the tale. She has endured five cases of breast cancer and has surpassed all of them. This happened because she used her keen observation as a scientist to discover what has been causing her cancer.

By the way, Prof. Jane is Chinese but has been living in the UK ever since she moved. What did she discover in her observation from her own breast cancer case? She discovered that dairy products have a direct link in causing her cancer. How did she do this? Well, she closely studied the differences between the Western countries and the Asian countries regular kind of foods.

She noticed that most foods found in the Western hemisphere are mostly composed of dairy products. Cheese and milk are two of the most common dairy products but these are also used as ingredients in various kinds of food like pasta sauces, yogurts, ice creams, coffee creamers, and a whole lot more. This entails that most Americans and Europeans take in dairy products as part of their daily diet because even their simplest foods contain these products from cows.

She compared this discovery with her native Chinese cultures usual eating habits. According to her, traditional Chinese do not take in any form of dairy products. When a mother has a baby and she doesnt have enough milk to feed her baby, she uses the services of a wet nurse, who is lactating mother, to feed her child. They do not feed their children with cows milk. The statistics of breast cancer in China is very low even if they are the most populous country in the world.

Chinese who first moved in to Western countries are also not at risk of developing breast cancer because they still stick to their traditional diet. The succeeding generations after them are likely to have breast cancer risk because they are adapting the Western form of diet. This shows that breast cancer risk doesnt run in the genes alone but also in the kind of foods we take in everyday.

After all of these observations, Prof. Jane Plant, PhD, CBE totally eliminated dairy products from her daily diet. She started reading food labels when she shops for food in the grocery to check whether the product she is buying contains any dairy produce in it. She noticed that the five lumps of her breast cancer started to shrink significantly after cutting off her dairy products intake.

Her doctors and colleagues are astonished by the miraculous healing she is undergoing. She shared her secret to one of her doctor friends but he was somewhat skeptical with the idea at first. However, the same doctor is now teaching his medical students and even his patients about the negative effects of dairy products in breast cancer development.

We salute Prof. Jane for this kind of discovery because of her willpower to continue living and eliminate her breast cancer for good. The National Cancer Institute hasnt released official information about the effects of dairy products in breast cancer development. But surely enough, the real life experience of a woman, one that belongs to the highly educated people, who once battled cancer, tells us that her discovery about dairy products is one of the best breast cancer prevention and healing you can learn from.

Cancer Patient Survivor's Nutrition Secrets

Cancer slowly seems to be eating away at our population. It is if everyone either knows someone who has passed from cancer or know someone who currently has cancer.

The worst part about it is that cancer is very debilitating and those that do die from it pass slowly and often painfully. However, some others are able to beat cancer naturally without having to undergo painful radiation therapy.

Most of the patients who are able to beat cancer are able to do so by eating the right organic, healthy diet, which brings their body back to a natural alkaline state. They also use the juice from these fruits and vegetables to cleanse their bodies. Cancer and disease can only thrive in an acidic body, or a body full of harmful toxins.

What is Acidic and alkaline? Think of it this way, a swamp (which is home to bugs, reptiles, dirty, muggy water) is an acidic environment, while a field of flowers (hosting bees and butterflies) is an alkaline environment.

Your body can become acidic for many reasons, and actually most people's bodies are acidic because they don't live a healthy lifestyle. Chemicals, processed food, food choices, poor air quality, and your environment all play a role in making your body acidic.

You can test yourself with acid/alkaline ph strips you can find at your local health food store. They are inexpensive and easy to use. If you would like more information on this or have any question regarding the topic of this article consult a doctor who practices natural, or eastern medicine.

How To Eat To Get Your Body Alkaline

It is important to note, however, that some cancer patients, who are very sick, or are far along with their illness should consult their doctor about what they should eat for nutrition. Sometimes being extremely sick with cancer or other illnesses can cause your body to react poorly to certain foods, even if they are healthy for you normally.

How Do Fruits and Vegetables Fend Off Cancer?

Organic fruits and vegetables are high in antioxidants, which help fight off the cancer cells and make your body alkaline. Making fresh juice from organic fruit and vegetables can be even better because they are concentrated and your body can absorb them faster. Try watermelon juice, it is very cleansing and tastes great.

Fruits that are purple or dark colored are especially recommended for a cancer patient's nutrition. Dark colored fruits contain more antioxidants. To get the maximum nutrition, you may juice up different types of fruits and vegetables to create a single concoction. Some of these fruit and vegetable juices may taste good, others not so much, but you are drinking these juices to save your life, not make your taste buds happy.

Moreover, a fiber rich diet may also help the body fight off the free radicals in its system, therefore you may want to consider taking a fiber supplement if you are a cancer patient. Also you need to stay away from sugar. This is one of the most acidic things you can put into your body and will increase any amount of pain you are having as a result of the cancer. Obviously, don't drink alcohol or smoke if you are a cancer patient.

Aside from giving a cancer patient the right nutrition, you also need to give a cancer patient plenty of liquids. A well hydrated body is better able to cope with the stress of being sick so make sure a patient drinks plenty of water. I would suggest a gallon of water a day (but not all at once) because it will help flush out your body and keep you as hydrated as you need to be.

If you have cancer and are sick and tired of being sick and tired from chemotherapy hopefully you can try some of the above recommendations to make your body alkaline and hopefully rid your body of the cancer. Just make sure that you do this with the supervision and guidance of some type of natural health doctor or expert.

And finally, think positively about beating cancer. The mind is a very powerful tool, but it can make you or break you. There are patients who claim to have gotten rid of cancer only from truly believing that they were going to get better and staying in a joyous, positive frame of mind.

What The Medical Establishment Doesn't Want You To Know

You or someone you love may have been diagnosed with cancer, and you are very much afraid. You have been taught by the disease establishment that you have a life threatening condition, and you had better sign on for the "standard of care" treatments before it is too late. Your doctors have thrown all sorts of frightening statistics at you about what will happen if you don't have immediate surgery followed by radiation, chemotherapy, and probably a lifetime of debilitating drug use. You are being pressured to make an immediate commitment to these toxic treatments.

Your mind is in a whirl, you can't think straight, and you're scared out of your wits. Now the cancer industry has you right where it wants you. You are in no condition to investigate alternatives. If you could gather your wits enough to start investigating what cancer really is and how it should be treated, your doctors know that you would run from them and their poisons. That's why the pressure on you is so intense.

So what is cancer really? Does a person get cancer because he is suffering from a deficiency of surgery, radiation, chemotherapy and drugs? Once you realize that the answer to this question is obviously 'no', you will see that traditional "standard of care" treatments, even if administered at state of the art cancer clinics, have no cure to offer you. So there is no rush to sign up for those treatments. You really can afford to take the time to relax and regain your composure, and then decide on a rational approach based on alternatives that do offer you the potential for complete cure. Whether you have a lot of money or not, and even if you have no health insurance, you really can make a complete recovery from cancer.

Cancer is an indication that something is drastically wrong with what you are putting into your body. If you have a family with a high incidence of cancer, maybe you think cancer is in your genes and you really can't do anything about it. This is not true. No matter what your genetic makeup, it is the choices you make that determine whether genes that induce cancer will get switched on. Cancer is not a deadly disease. Cancer is a life saving wake up call.

Unheated and unprocessed flaxseed oil can provide the body with the essential fatty acids that would replenish the loss of critically needed phosphatides and lipoproteins missing from the diets of many people of her time and are missing to an even greater degree in the diets of Americans today.

Through blood analysis of many cancer patients, it has been determined that cancer patients were always grossly deficient in these critical nutrients. Blood samples from all patients with later stage cancer revealed a greenish yellow substance in place of normal, healthy red oxygen carrying hemoglobin indicating an inability of the blood to transport oxygen to the cells. After being treated for a few months with daily doses of flaxseed oil, their cancer tumors gradually receded and the unhealthy blood color was replaced by healthy red blood cells. This change in blood color signaled the rise of phosphatide and lipoprotein levels.

Don't know if your familar with Dr. Johanna Budwig and the Budwig diet but she devoted her life to cancer research and was often referred to as the top cancer research scientist in Europe. She was also a biochemist and physicist who was a leading authority on fats, oils and nutrition.

Her discovery of how to make the fats water soluble was her crowning moment. She realized that fats become water soluble and able to pass through the cell membrane only when they are bound to protein. This is where the cottage cheese comes in. It is the binding of the electron rich fats from the flax oil with the sulphurated protein from the cottage cheese that ushers these electrons in through the cell membranes and into the cell walls.

Johanna was adamantly against the use of hydrogenated, partially hydrogenated, and polyunsaturated fats. She saw the chemical processing of these fats as damaging to every organ in the body. The heart rejects these fats and they end up as inorganic fatty deposits on the heart muscle, blocking circulation, damaging heart action, inhibiting cell renewal and disrupting the normal flow of blood and lymph fluids.

Johanna's patients were those so terminally ill that traditional medical practitioners had given up on them, with many having been given only days or hours to live. She treated these patients with a simple diet based on a combination of flax oil and quark, the European version of cottage cheese. Her published research is full of testimonials from people around the world that were diagnosed with terminal cancer and were completely cured by the Budwig diet. The benefits of Johanna's research extend to the healing of anyone with any of the major debilitating diseases.

There are thousands of documented cases of recovery from cancer using the Budwig protocol. For her research and practice, Johanna was nominated for seven Nobel Prizes, but was kept from receiving any of them by the German pharmaceutical and medical industries that subjected her to endless vilification and harassment and blocked the publication of her writings and clinical studies.

A Cupboard Cure For Cancer

"Extensive research over the last fifty years has indicated (this substance) can both prevent and treat cancer" - University of Texas.

What is this substance? This is not some dicey miracle cure that sets you back thousands of dollars and probably won't work. This amazing stuff costs nearly nothing and you probably already own some.

Ever wonder why hot dogs taste so good covered with mustard? Hot dog mustard contains no less that 3 cutting-edge cancer enemies. Maybe nature's trying to tell us something. I am not a big fan of hot dogs and as you may know, hot dogs contain chemicals called nitrates that may encourage cancer. But the mustard you slap on your franks is something else, an anti-cancer arsenal.

Yellow mustard contains these three cancer fighters, selenium, isothiocyanates and curcumin. All by itself, selenium may cut your prostate cancer risk nearly in half. Isothiocyanates, mustard seeds are packed with these good guys and they can stop the formation and growth of cancer cells. They could save your gut from big, bad trouble.

The big kahuna is curcumin, this is what gives ballpark mustard its vivid yellow hue. It halts the spread of breast cancer and makes chemotherapy less toxic. Researchers at the University of Leicester in England say it could even be a powerful weapon against hormone-resistant prostate cancer.

The research has a way to go and so far it's been mostly on lab animals. The point is that you can do plenty to curb cancer without ever leaving your kitchen. There are many other ways to get curcumin in your diet. Hot dog mustard doesn't contain nearly as much as Indian curry, and if curry is not your thing, curcumin supplements are available. Adhere to the recommended dosages though and don't over do it.

It may even help save you from Alzheimer's, colitis, Crohn's or even cystic fibrosis. Scientists are saying curcumin could help with all of these.

Some other bits of information, men, watch your calcium consumption. New studies show that men who consume lots of dairy have a 32% higher risk of prostate cancer, and calcium could be the culprit.

If you ever go for a cancer screening, there are few things to be aware of. You need to protect yourself with the facts, and one of the facts is that not all health professionals are created equal. There are the good and the not so good. Some health professionals are greedy and have exploited cancer fears and made billions of dollars in the bargain. They do this by using disease mongering, creating diseases that just aren't there. And cancer screenings are one way to do it. Lets not be naive.

For instance, cancers that will not kill you or will disappear are extremely common. Yet when caught on sophisticated medical screening scans, they will most often be treated aggressively, often resulting in expensive and dangerous treatments.

Another for instance, false positives, "spots" and cancers that will never harm you are extremely common. One prime example is thyroid cancer. Very few people die from thyroid cancer.

For years, a breast mass called lobular carcinoma in situ was treated aggressively, often with single or double mastectomy. Today, according to the Annals of Surgical Oncology, it is considered simply an "incidental finding." I wonder how many women have lost their breasts when there was no need for that to happen.

The best way to survive cancer is to use a phytonutrient therapy that treats the whole body, because cancer is always systemic, i.e.,
throughout the system.

What does zinc have to do with BPH, cancer and other prostate disease

Did you know that more than 60% of male Americans have a deficiency of zinc? Male semen has 100 times more zinc than the blood! Here is another the fact: You might have read somewhere that DHT (dihydrotestosterone) causes the prostate to grow.

WAIT! Maybe I am getting ahead of myself, let's start again.

The prostate gland is highly unusual because it undergoes an increase in size at several stages during most of a man's life.

* The first growth phase is completed before or at birth, when the average prostate weighs about 1.5 grams.

* The second growth phase occurs early during puberty, when the weight of the prostate gland increases to around 11 grams.

* The third growth phase occurs during the mid-20s, when the weight of the prostate gland increases to approximately 18 grams.

* There is another apparent growth phase that begins when a man is in his 50s. Size varies depending on the males health.

* By the time a man is in his 70s, the prostate gland has reached a maximum weight of 31 grams.

Although the prostate gland grows during much of a man's life, urinary flow problems Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH) and/or cancer usually appears only after the age of 50 as a consequence of the final growth phase.

The medical researchers don't really know yet why the prostate gland enlarges during multiple growth spurts. However, there are two theories that attempt to explain this pheomenon. Both theories believe
hormonal changes over time are responsible.

(1) Changes in the normal balance of sex hormones. With advancing age, the amount of the male hormone testosterone The primary male reproductive hormone. Made in the testes, it is responsible for the growth and maturation of the primary male reproductive organs and the development of characteristics such as a low-pitched voice, the male's unique distribution of body hair, the relative lack of fat below the skin, and bigger bone structure. , decreases relative to the amount of circulating estrogen

A female hormone that is also normally found in small quantities in a man's bloodstream., the main female reproductive hormone which also circulates in the male.

There is some evidence to suggest that this relative increase in circulating estrogen may strengthen the effect of the testosterone derivative DHT, which promotes cell growth in the prostate gland and is formed when testosterone is acted upon by a specific enzyme. As a consequence of estrogen and DHT acting together, cell growth and glandular enlargement are promoted.

NOTE: Ah-ha, DHT seems to get out of control and may be the cause of BPH. Every wonder exactly what DHT is? Well here you go. DHT is a biologically active metabolite of the hormone testosterone, formed primarily in the prostate gland, testes, hair follicles, and adrenal glands by the enzyme 5a-reductase by means of reducing the 4,5 double-bond. DHT belongs to the class of compounds called androgens, also commonly called androgenic hormones or testoids. Androgens are part of the biology of gender by stimulating and controlling the development and maintenance of masculine characteristics. DHT is 3 times more potent than testosterone; testosterone is 5-10 times more potent than adrenal androgens.

(2) Now here is the 2nd theory about DHT. Prostate gland development requires the conversion of testosterone into DHT. In the presence of a specific enzyme called 5-alpha reductase. As aging occurs, the amount of DHT in the prostate gland remains high, even through the circulating testosterone level drops.

Some evidence supports the idea that this high level of prostate DHT may by itself promote cell growth and lead to enlargement.

Now after that introduction we come to zinc. The role of zinc in a wide range of cellular processes, including cell division (ah - that means getting larger - right?) and proliferation, immune function, and defense against free radicals, has been well established. Zinc is the most abundant trace element in cells, and increasing evidence emphasizes zinc's important role in both genetic stability and function.

Zinc deficiency can lead to immune dysfunction and impairments in growth, cognitive function, and hormonal function. Over 2 billion people worldwide may have a zinc deficiency, you don't need to be one of them.

Research has established a link between zinc deficiency and cancer is now established by human, animal, and cell culture studies. We also know that zinc status is compromised in cancer patients compared to healthy people.

Zinc also appears to play an important role in maintaining prostate health. Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in American men, and most elderly men have some abnormal prostate cells. BPH may or may not be a precursor to prostate cancer. The normal human prostate ccumulates the highest level of zinc of any soft tissue in the body, but we don't know why. However, cancerous prostates have much less zinc than normal rostates, and several studies have implicated impaired zinc status in the development and progression of prostate malignancy. There is also some evidence that ncreased dietary zinc is associated with a decrease in the incidence of prostate cancer.

Zinc supplementation strategies may not only aid in the prevention of ancer, but could also play an important role in limiting its malignancy. As an antioxidant and a component of many DNA repair proteins, zinc plays an important role in protecting DNA from damage. The current tolerable upper intake level for zinc is 40 mg/day, established by the U.S. Institute of Medicine. Thus, it is possible that the subjects in the epidemiological study could have been in the toxic range of zinc intake. As with most therapeutics, higher doses do not always equate with an increase in
efficacy.

Just as a final note, zinc has some positive side effects such as: effective in shortening cold symptoms, reduce the severity of cold sores, increase energy levels, treat ADHD in children, fighting hair loss and managing conditions such as hypoglycemia and diabetes.The negative side effect of zine could include: A decrease your copper, iron and magnesium levels, reduce your body's immune function, and reduce your HDL (good cholesterol) level. Additional rare side effects could include: stomach upset, heartburn and nausea, fever, sore throat, mouth sores, weakness and fatigue.

There is some hope in clinical trials. Irving Bush, M.D., professor of urology at the University of Health Sciences/Chicago Medical School, senior consultant at the Center for Study of Genitourinary Diseases in West Dundee, Illinois, and former chairman of the Food and Drug Administration panels on gastroenterology, urology and dialysis, did a small study of the use of zinc in treating BPH. The men in the study took 150 milligrams of inc sulfate every day for two months, followed by 50 to 100 milligrams a day as a maintenance dose. Dr. Bush found that 14 of the 19 men experienced shrinkage of the prostate.

Black Listed Cancer Treatment - Revealed!

I know it is going be hard for you to believe, but an successful treatment for cancer has been know for over 30 years, but it has been blocked, banned and ignored by the American Medical Association (AMA) and the FDA, both who are supposed to be in the business of protecting your health.

In 1966, the senior oncologist at a prominent New York hospital rocked the medical world when he developed a serum that "shrank cancer tumors in 45 minutes!" Headlines hit every major newspaper on the planet. The medical and research professionals worldwide applauded. Time and again this life saving treatment worked:-miracles, but the FDA ignored the research. Ultimately the discovery was ignored and shut down. The hope that this NY Doctor brought to the world was destroyed.

You read that right. He was not only shut down-but also forced out of the country where others benefited from his discovery. Why is the United States the last to acknowledge and accept medical advances? That was 38 years ago. How many other treatments have they been allowed to hide? Just as in the case of Dr. Burton's miracle serum these too go unmentioned. Two-Nutrient Cancer Breakthrough... Decades ago, European research scientist Dr. Johanna Budwig, a six-time Nobel Award nominee, discovered a totally natural formula that not only protects against the development of cancer, but people allover the world who have been diagnosed with incurable cancer and sent home to die have actually benefited from her research and now lead normal lives.

After 30 years of study, Dr. Budwig discovered that the blood of seriously ill cancer patients was deficient in certain substances and nutrients. It was the lack of these nutrients that allowed cancer cells to grow wild and out of control.

In case after case, cancer was actually healed by simply eating a combination of two natural and delicious foods Reports state that, "Symptoms of cancer, liver dysfunction, and diabetes were completely alleviated." Remarkably, what Dr. Budwig discovered was a totally natural way for eradicating cancer. Read everything about the Budwig Diet - Go to Google and use keyword "cancer tutor", then search for the Budwig Diet.

These results are not published so that all the world can benefit. The Internet provides the means that this great information cannot be withheld from the people that can benefit from it, if only they will open their minds and accept methods that others don't want us to know.

What's more, the world is full of expert minds like Dr. Budwig who have pursued cancer remedies and come up with remarkable discoveries only to have them ignored by the FDA in the U.S.

How to Fight Cancer & Win, author William Fischer, has studied these methods and revealed their secrets for you so that you or someone you might find ways to avoid the horrors of.conventional cancer treatments.

As early as 1947, Virginia Livingston, M.D., isolated a cancer-causing microbe. She noted that every cancer sample analyzed (whether human or other animal) contained it. This microbe is a bacteria that is actually in each of us from birth to death and promotes cancer when the immune system is weakened by stress, disease or poor nutrition. Worst of all, the microbes secrete a special hormone protector that short-circuits our body's immune system allowing the microbes to grow undetected for years. No wonder so many patients are riddled with cancer by the time it is detected. But there is hope even for them.

Many opened their minds walked away from traditional cancer treatments and were healed!

Many real people who were diagnosed with cancer, suffered through harsh conventional treatments. Then they turned their backs on so called modern medicine and were healed by natural means!

The Unknown Anti-Cancer Mineral

One of the most effective naturally occurring weapons against cancer is, like most healthy things, something many of us are not getting enough of. The mineral selenium has been shown in multiple studies to be an effective tool in warding off various types of cancer, including breast, esophageal, stomach, prostate, liver and bladder cancers. Not many people get the recommended dose of 200 micrograms a day. Most Americans only get between 60 and 100 micrograms of selenium daily from dietary sources

Selenium was first used in conventional medicine as a treatment for dandruff, but our understanding of the mineral has come a long way since then. Today, research shows selenium, especially when used in conjunction with vitamin C, vitamin E and beta-carotene, works to block chemical reactions that create free radicals in the body (which can damage DNA and cause degenerative change in cells, leading to cancer).

Selenium also helps stop damaged DNA molecules from reproducing. In other words, selenium acts to prevent tumors from developing. In addition to preventing the onset of the disease, selenium has also been shown to aid in slowing cancer's progression in patients that already have it. The use of selenium during chemotherapy in combination with vitamin E and vitamin A reduces the toxicity of chemotherapy drugs. The mineral also helps enhance the effectiveness of chemo, radiation, and hyperthermia while minimizing damage to the patient's normal cells.

The mineral not only help protect against all types of cancer, it has a particularly powerful impact on prostate, colorectal and lung cancers.

If our bodies have to high an intake of selenium it can actually be toxic to our system, but the majority of us are not getting enough of this essential mineral. Since this is the case, how can we get a good balance so as not to overdo but make sure we are getting enough to help our bodies fight cancer? There are some good dietary sources of selenium such as mushrooms, egg yolks, seafood, poultry and kidney, liver and muscle meats. Vegetables like garlic, onions, broccoli, asparagus, tomatoes and others as well as whole grains and seeds can also be good sources of selenium.

The amount of selenium in vegetables and grains depends on the selenium content in the soil in which they are grown. The selenium content is largely dependent on the content of volcanic ash in the soil on which the food was grown, with higher volcanic ash content yielding higher selenium levels.

Suggestions as to part of the reason American men are five times more likely than Japanese men to die from prostate cancer could be because, in general, the Asian diet contains four times the amount of selenium as the average American diet. Another reason for lack of selenium in the American diet is the processing that many of our foods go through before it becomes available to the public. One way to get more selenium in your diet might be to eat more organically grown foods, which some studies have shown to contain more selenium as well as higher levels of beta carotene and vitamin E.

Simply adding more selenium-rich foods, such as organically grown vegetables and fruits to your diet, along with supplements, can help reduce your risk of cancer and have mood improvements.
Try implementing a couple of Brazil nuts into your day, eating just one shelled Brazil nut, grown in the selenium-rich soil of central Brazil, provides 120 micrograms of the mineral, getting you that much closer to the daily target of 200 micrograms.

So go ahead, have some Brazil nuts during the holiday season, you deserve it.

Herbal Cure For Cancer

By Shauwn P. Newton

Almost everyone is afraid of the word cancer. And they have a valid reason to be afraid because a study was done by the American Cancer Society that stated that there is a 41% probability that an individual living under the age of 85 might be diagnosed with the deadly disease. And this probability did not discriminate between male or female.

The shocking truth is that with a 41% probability that one could get cancer is scary and even more scary is that one might have it but do not know because it has not been detected or diagnosed as yet. Those numbers does not make you feel safe.

Cancer has been around for some time now but in the last decade it has just move to the forefront of all the other diseases such as heart disease and diabetes. And with so much money spent on research you would think we would have been able to stop cancer's growth.

Pharmaceutical company, however, have been able to produce medication and drugs that will help alleviate the pain and discomfort of cancer while at the same time making a hefty profit for themselves. Yet cancer continues to take lives.

The majority of person who have undergone surgery, chemotherapy and radiation have complain that though they love the fact that they are alive would prefer to have a more holistic approach to the cure for cancer.

The method to cure cancer has been used by many doctors, medical practitioners and homeopath healers for centuries and now it is available to the most average person. But what is most interesting about this cure is that it not only cures cancer.

These techniques have been used in other countries with proven results because in order for the body to become diseased, it must first be unable to resist disease thus rendering it incapable of healing itself.

If the body can be restored to heal itself then it does not need the help of the outside. In fact our bodies are designed to heal itself and do not need drugs or medication when it's performing at its optimum level.

Though both the western and eastern doctors do not always agree, the one thing they will all agree to is that the body become diseased when the immune system breaks down and can no longer fight off disease.

The founders of this new scientifically proven method is claiming that they have a natural cure for cancer that will enable the body to once again be able to do its job, and that is to keep the body free of disease. This can be done without any drug or medication.

What Is An Alternative Cancer Treatment?

Significant reassessment in recent years a of the nature and causes of cancer has taken place. Cancer was formerly believed to be a localized disease, characterized by a lesion, usually in the form of a growth, which appeared at some specific part of the body. This localized lesion was thought to be the result of an activity produced by an invading virus, carcinogenic agent, or some form of trauma.

Today, the conviction among researchers and physicians, which is a growing conviction is that cancer is a complex disease that is the end result of a disturbed metabolism (body chemistry).

It is an insidious disease that involves the entire body. The frequent reoccurrence of a malignancy after treatment with the conventional methods of surgery, radiation and/or chemotherapy is because the basic underlying metabolic cause of the cancer is rarely considered and consequently remains uncorrected.

Amygdalin, or laetrile/B17, is a relatively simple compound found in much of our food supply. It is most abundant in the seeds of non-citrus fruits. Most commercially prepared amygdalin is extracted from the seeds of the apricot.

Amygdalin is composed of:

Two molecules of glucose (a sugar), One molecule of hydrocyanic acid (an anti-neoplastic compound),ane One molecule of benzaldehyde (an analgesic).

In metabolic therapy, the amygdalin is broken down into its component parts as a result of the action of the betaglucidase. This enzyme is found in abundance in cancer cells, and is relatively deficient in normal cells.

Consequently, the cyanide is released only where there is an active cancer lesion. This liberation of cyanide under controlled and safe conditions insures that an adequate dosage can be administered without the threat of toxic side effects.

This absence of cyanide toxicity is further insured by the action of the thodanese, another enzyme. This enzyme is present in large quantities in normal cells but in very small amounts in cancer cells.

Detoxification of cyanide occurs, therefore, in normal mammalian tissue through the action of this rhodanese which, in the presence of sulfer-bearing compounds, converts free cyanide to thiocyanate, a perfectly nontoxic compound. The thiocynate is excreted in the urine.

Slow drip infusion. The most efficacious mode of administration is through the slow-drip infusion technique which was developed in Tijuana, Mexico. It became apparent that the breakdown of amygdalin and its subsequent detoxification was very rapid.

If it were to be administered over a longer period of time, this could be overcome. In addition, the amygdalin must pass through many biological membranes in order to reach its site of action. This can be accomplished by combining the amygdalin with Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO-laboratory grade).

Finally, as vitamin C is known to slow the growth of tumors, it is added to allow the amygdalin and the rest of the metabolic therapy more time to work.

The amygdalin should be added just prior to injection to insure maximum potency. This complete infusion is administered intravenously over a 2 to 3 hour period.

More rapid administration can result in a localized burning sensation due to the large amounts of vitamin C. This infusion is administered daily over the first 21 days of metabolic therapy.

In some instances where the slow drip infusion is not practical, intravenous administration of amygdalin can be used. This method provides the same high concentration in the blood as the slow drip infusion. Three vials (3 grams each) are administered daily in a slow intravenous push, usually in the brachial vein just proximate to the elbow. Preferably this administration should be between meals. The intravenous administration should be daily for 21 days.

Oral Ingestion is the most convenient and most frequently used method of amygdalin administration. The patients leaving the clinic are placed on oral amygdalin. Also, because of the difficulty for some patients in going to the physician's daily, many doctors prefer this method.

Normally for treamtment the tablet size is 500 milligrams (mg). Two of these tablets should be given 3 times a day. If patients have difficulty swallowing, the tablets may be broken up and added to soft food. The patient should take 1 tablet six times a day.

The preventive tablet size is 100mg. One or two tablets should be taken daily. This data is provided for informational purposes only by Cyto Pharma of Mexico. This company has been in the market since 1971 and are well known worldwide. They are the leader in the field of the amygdalin process and their research staff is constantly working to upgrade their products.

This is one way of an alternative cancer treatment protocol that is used by a number of naturopaths.
