Fighting Cancer The Holistic Way

Fighting The Holistic Way
By Dr Laurence Magne

Cancer starts with the mutation of the genetic materials in the
chromosome of the affected cell. It becomes a grossly abnormal
cell that continues to multiply incessantly, devoid of the
normal control mechanisms, to billions of cells which form
tumours and invade other tissues, causing much pain, and
suffering.

The key is to reverse this genetic damage. And the key to
preventing is to prevent the damage.
It is obvious that this strategy must involve removing the
predisposing factors, and to empower healing systems of the body
to do their work efficiently. results from the failure of
the prevention, and repair systems of the body that are meant to
stop cells from developing, or from surviving,
multiplying, and spreading.

The contributing factors can be hormonal (breast, ovarian,
uterine and prostate cancers), infection (hepatitis virus for
liver and HPV for cervical cancer), free radical and
chemical damage, radiation (including sun exposure), nutritional
deficiency, and others. 

To protect your genes, first, you must prevent sun damage.
Cancer patients should realise that skin free radicals add to
the total free radical load and require plenty of antioxidants
to neutralise, depriving that available for the rest of the
body. 

Next, you have to avoid getting toxins into your body,
especially through smoking, and unfortunately, some foods that
we eat (fruits and veggies that are contaminated with
pesticides, and fish and meats contaminated with chemicals and
heavy metals). You also have to get rid of as much of the toxins
that are already in you. 

Our cells have to repair their chromosomes, which are
continually damaged by free-radicals and chemicals. At the same
time, we have to make millions of new cells daily to replace the
dying cells. So the requirement for nucleic acid cannot be
ignored. It is also an important item in my anti-ageing
prescription. I use plant-derived nucleic acids as a supplement.

Free radicals are the major culprit causing genetic damage, and
antioxidants are their antidote. Fruits, veggies and green foods
are excellent sources of cancer-fighting antioxidants.  

Some hormones influence the onset and progress of certain
cancers. Breast, ovarian (most types), uterine, testicular and
prostate cancers are influenced by hormones, and so hormones and
hormone-analogues or their receptor-blockers are used in many
cases. 

We have not fully understood the roles hormones play in other
cancers, and when we do, we will discover that they are much
more important than we previously thought. For example, the
female sex hormone progesterone has long been underestimated as
a valuable tool to balance the harmful effects of oestrogen. It
is not only about having the hormones in their optimum levels,
but also balancing them as some work synergistically, some
against, and others complementary, to one another.  

Treating patients will not be complete if the hormones
that regulate metabolism and other important functions are not
looked into, as only the well-functioning body can heal itself
properly.  

There are of course certain cancerous and non-cancerous tumours
which involve the glandular cells and produce excessive
hormones, or conversely, cause severe reduction in hormone
levels.  
An effective anti-cancer diet incorporated plenty of fruits and
veggies (preferably fresh, raw, and organic) providing an
abundance of protective nutrients and fibre. 

You can eat tons of veggies without ever worrying of growing
fat, because they are loaded with nutrients

but have minimal
calories. The only exceptions are the starchy ones, which are
not actually vegetables anyway. If you take spinach, you will
lose weight while you gain nutrients (more calories are required
to chew, digest and absorb spinach than the calories it
contains).  

Fruits are excellent sources of fighting nutrients too,
even though they contain more calories. Go for variety as each
fruit has nutrients that others don’t have. An alternative way
to ingest the goodness of fruits and veggies is by juicing.
However, it takes a lot of commitment to continue doing this. If
you do, you will find much pleasure in drinking various
delicious concoctions, limited only by your creativity. With
high-power juicing, it is also possible to juice the whole fruit
and get 100% of the nutrients.

The anti-cancer diet should also include plenty of other raw,
unprocessed foods (greens, grains, legumes, nuts, etc ) with
lots of anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, co-enzymes,
fibre and probiotics (healthy bacteria). Eat more foods with
known anti-cancer nutrients, for example, carrots for
beta-carotene; tomatoes and watermelons; mushrooms; and others.
Include essential fats (fish and plant oils) and essential amino
acids (sufficient if you take a well–balanced diet) as well. 

Reduce red meat, and burnt meat (BBQ or overfried), excess
sugars and excess salt should be avoided. This diet is not only
anti-cancer, it will also protect you against most of the
chronic diseases like heart disease, stroke and diabetes, and
will slow down your ageing.
