Surviving Cancer

08.13.2008 · Posted in Cancer

The diagnosis of cancer for anyone is devastating. When we first hear the word cancer we are in shock and disbelief. We feel we have just been handed a death sentence.

Surviving is a strong instinct in mankind and we have the potential to overcome many challenges, beat incredible odds, and come out a survivor. With the proper attitude anything is possible. Sadly, many of us accept the diagnoses and prescribed treatment of our disease without seeking additional forms of life-saving medicines or treatments. We need to recognize that there are many paths to ridding the body of disease.

Studies have showed that people often turn to alternative therapies for chronic conditions such as back pain, anxiety, headaches or chronic pain. Often times, people seek out alternative treatment when conventional medicine has little to offer and hope is all that is left. The value of hope should not be under estimated. Where there is hope, there’s life.

Alternative Medicine and Treatments

Do you know that some medical treatments are very old? Some can be traced back 200,000 years. The Greeks were known to use aspirin which come from white willow bark and morphine from the opium poppy. Foxglove, a flower in many gardens, is a source of digitalis prescribed by doctors to strengthen the heart and regulate its beat.

Research has determined that regular consumption of flaxseed can be used as a cancer fighting agent. The LNAs (omega 3 Alpha Linolenic essential fatty acid) kill human cancer cells in tissue cultures without harming normal cells.

Cancers such as prostate, colon, breast and lung were studied and according to Dr. James Duke, an ethnobotanist with the USDA (Food and Drug Administration), flaxseed contains 27 identifiable cancer preventive compounds.

Flaxseed also helps with the following:

* Heart Disease – blood regulating capabilities prevent spontaneous blood clots caused by an excess of fatty acids.
* Diabetes – Reversal of symptoms can occur and may also lower insulin requirements.
* Skin Conditions – such as psoriasis and eczema have improved dramatically.
* Sexual Disorders – impotency in men is a blockage of blood flow in the arteries of the pelvis. Flaxseed will help unblock narrowed arteries.

Flaxseed increases the metabolic rate and the efficiency of cellular energy production. Athletes or anyone wishing to lose weight will benefit from a daily consumption of flaxseed.

Do not wait until its obvious conventional treatments are failing before trying alternative medicine. In fact, don’t wait until you have cancer!

Sherry Rogers MD, Leading National Toxicology Expert, has this to say …

“We are all a toxic cesspool of the lifetime accumulation of chemicals from our air, food, and water. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency studies of chemicals stored in the fat of humans show that 100% of people had dioxins, PCBs, dichlorobenzene, and xylene while another analysis of the exhaled breath of humans showed carcinogenic benzene in 89% and perchloroethylene in 93%. And these chemicals are just the tip of the iceberg. For now we have the proof that it is the steady silent accumulation over a lifetime that produces most diseases, including cancer. But medicine merely sees every disease as a deficiency of some drug or surgery, and tell us there is no known cause or cure.

Take charge of your cancer!
