Treat Cancer the Natural Way

By Lee Jacobs

We all know that cancer is a disease that strikes fear in the hearts of most people when they learn that they or someone else has received this diagnosis. That is because it can strike anyone at any time. Cancer is indiscriminate. It also strikes to varying degrees. Someone can discover they have cancer and die a month later. Others experience remissions for no apparent reason. There are no natural cures or treatments that have been proven beyond a shadow to rid a person of cancer, but there are treatments that can be used to help treat symptoms and perhaps provide a cure.

It has been thought that cancer begins to develop inside of the body due to several different reasons. The reasons can be hereditary and/or environmental. More obvious cases of cancer have been the result of excessive cigarette smoking and years of intense UV rays, just to name a few. Oddly enough, there are also individuals who have done their best to take care of themselves, and when they are at the height of their lives, they find out that they have developed cancer.

Research has suggested that diet may also play a role in the development and natural treatment of cancer. Meats that contain steroids should be eliminated due to their effects on the body. Instead of eating regular meat that has been injected with hormones and steroids, it is best to consume a diet that is lacking in red meat, and completely consumed of organic meat. Processed foods contain preservatives and other toxins that can pollute the body. Examples of processed foods are breakfast cereal, potato chips, cookies, crackers, t.v. Dinners, sodas, artificial juice drinks, and canned meats. It is highly recommended for individuals who have cancer, as well as those who are at risk, to avoid these types of foods altogether.

Maintaining a healthy pH level in the body is also thought to influence a person's susceptibility to cancer and their ability to fight it once they have it. Studies suggest that a pH level of 7.0 or higher should be maintained and even that cancer cannot survive in the body when the pH is 7.0 or higher. Avoiding foods that cause a rise in pH can help the body word off illness and disease. The body's pH level is influenced by such things as toxins, preservatives and sugars. Sugar increases the acidity in the body and although acid levels are raised by other foods, sugar is the one most often causing an imbalance to occur.

Daily exercise has also been shown to be beneficial to the overall health of the body. It is an accessible and easy natural treatment that should be incorporated in a cancer treatment or prevention plan whenever possible. A strong, healthy body will function better and be able to ward of illness and disease more efficiently. Even a small amount of exercise each day can make a difference. Drinking plenty of purified water should also be at the top of your list of things to do to prevent and treat cancer naturally. It cleanses the body of impurities and helps flush cancer-causing toxins. All of these things together will help us fight this deadly disease and improve our immune system so that it can ward off all illness and disease more efficiently. - 14130
