In 1971, President Nixon declared a war on cancer. In the ensuing decades, tens of billions of dollars have been spent on the cause yet a cure by orthodox means remains elusive. By any standards this campaign has been a failed endeavour; or worse, a shameful fraud. Progress is a myth, and sustaining hope for the development of a safe and effective cancer drug is pointless. It’s up to each individual to empower themselves with knowledge of the myriad ways to eradicate cancer without harming the body. Although it’s easier to prevent cancer than to reverse it once it has taken hold, it is nevertheless reversible with holistic therapies that address imbalances of the body, mind and spirit. This is not an opinion; it is a statement of fact that’s based on this author’s first-hand experience.

A comprehensive approach to healing cancer includes at least the following eight factors:

• 1. Proper nutrition and clean water
• 2. Detoxification
• 3. Immune building
• 4. Oxygen therapy
• 5. Natural chemotherapies
• 6. Lifestyle changes: adequate sleep, sunlight & exercise
• 7. A positive attitude
• 8. Spiritual cleansing

Regardless of the cancer’s aggressiveness, the body will respond to this holistic approach – the speed and degree to which it does so is commensurate with the diligence and extent to which these eight factors are applied. No cancer treatment, conventional or otherwise, comes with an iron-clad guarantee; however, it’s important to consider that orthodox treatments ravage the body and ignore the underlying causes while alternative treatments strengthen the body and address its healing requirements. Reason and logic side with alternative therapies.

These guidelines are merely an overview of what a comprehensive holistic protocol would include. The term “cancer survivor” refers to those who have been diagnosed with the disease and are still alive – whether they are in remission or not. The cancer survivor should adopt as many of these strategies as is feasible, slowly incorporating them into one’s lifestyle and working with a naturopath if necessary. A holistic healer can be located through the help of a reputable chiropractor, acupuncturist or other practitioner of the healing arts. A health food store may also provide contacts.

It’s useful to determine whether the body’s chronic stressors include specific nutritional deficiencies, absorption problems and/or the burden of toxic heavy metals. This insight is possible through analysis of hair, urine or blood, and will help determine which supplements and therapies will enhance treatment. Without addressing these conditions, optimum healing may be delayed or prevented.

Research finds that Vegans are 12 less likely to develop cancer, while red meat can increase odds by 30%.   The largest study ever conducted on diet and cancer showed that vegetarians are 45% less likely to develop  blood cancers like Lymphoma and Leukemia than those who eat meat.  The study published in the British Journal of Cancer also found that Vegetarians were 12% less likely to develop cancer overall.

The American Institute for Cancer Research recommends  not eating more than 2.5 oz or red meat each day (about the size of a deck of cards.)  Eating any more than that can increase a person’s risk of developing cancer by 30%.

Research has also found that eating processed meats, like sausage, pepperoni and hot dogs has greater health risks than fresh meat.

Nutrition can turn cancer on and off

It is a radical notion in the medical community, but research has concluded that something as simple as nutrition can turn off the growth of cancer and turn it back on again.
