Healing cancer

Growing up, I was exactly like you. I thought cancer was a horrible disease that had a dead-end prognosis. It was the disease everyone was too afraid to talk about.

But something changed.

During my nutrition college days, I read a book called A Time To Heal by Beata Bishop. This book changed the way I look at cancer and disease forever. It is written by a British journalist who was diagnosed with one of the most severe forms of cancer in the 1980s. She chose to ditch the medical route and went alternative. Her recovery story is an inspiration to many.

But this article is not about another 'cancer campaign' or 'cancer research'. It is about REAL prevention and healing.

First, let me bust some myths.

Cancer cells are not 'enemy' cells. We all have cancer cells in our body. Cancer cells start multiplying uncontrollably when our immune system fails at keeping them in check.

Cancer is not a disease that you develop 'suddenly', it is a disease that takes years to develop, sometimes for 10 years or more until a lump is detected.

Cancer cells don't come along because of 'bad luck', they multiply because the person is leading a lifestyle that promotes the disease. Diet, exercise, and nutritional status all play a big role in the prevention of cancer.

Contrary to common belief, it is actually very hard to get cancer. Because our bodies are made to survive, healing is always top priority for our systems. That's why you see people living happily in spite of their horrible food and lifestyle habits. Our bodies have amazing bounce-back abilities and it takes A LOT to get a disease as serious as cancer.

Cancer is the disease that tells us that this was the final straw. We caused so much damage that coping is no longer possible.

The ironic thing is that everybody is afraid of cancer but nobody is willing to do what it takes to prevent it. Consider this:

Cancer cells feed on sugar and salt. How much of those are you having?

Cancer cells thrive in an acidic environment, meaning the acidity caused by consuming meat and other animal products (including dairy products). When was the last time you considered vegetables and beans for a meal?

Cancer develops when the body is unable to efficiently remove its toxic load. An overload of toxins such as smoke, mercury from amalgam fillings, pesticides and others can burden the system and make it more susceptible to disease.

Cancer cells usually multiply in the body's weakest point. Basically, they stay where there is least resistance. For example, if you've always had weak lungs, then cancer cells are more likely to multiply there when your body gets sick.

Cancer cells also grow due to various nutrient deficiencies. If your body does not have enough nutrients to build a healthy immune and detoxification systems, it will not be able to stay on top of things. A great example is the connection between vitamin D deficiency and cancer. This simple vitamin that we get from the sun is crucial for cancer protection. How much sun did you get today?

Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Not only do we not exercise enough to get oxygen through our systems, most of us are so stressed and overworked that we tend to be constantly in a state of shallow-breathing.

And let us not forget the emotional effect on cancer. Anger, hostility, jealousy ... all these emotions increase acidity and make your cells more likely to go in the wrong direction. As Deepak Chopra says, "every cell in your body is eavesdropping on your thoughts."

What would you do if you got cancer? Most people run to their doctors. They want the cancer out as soon as possible.

And most doctors resort to harsh measures such as chemotherapy, radiation or surgery.

Very few people will have a chance to realise that their cancer cells are their own. They are not 'enemy' cells that have invaded. They are their own body cells that are screaming out for help.

When your body gets cancer, it is not deficient in chemotherapy chemicals. That's not what it wants. Nor is it trying to get rid of an organ through surgery. It is looking for healing; it is looking for a refill of nutrients; it is looking for love and care. Sadly, none of these options are offered in today's medical system.

In the book I mentioned earlier, Beata Bishop chose one of the most amazing alternative cancer treatments out there. It's called the Gerson Therapy.

They have had millions of recovered terminal cancer cases and they're still doing it. This therapy is based on detoxifying the body and giving it what it needs as it heals itself from cancer.

From juicing to enemas, visualisation, and more, this therapy is where I would go first.

Look it up. Research and educate yourself. This information is priceless if you or a loved one has cancer. Remember: you have many options other than what mainstream medicine is offering you today. Alternative therapies are great and they work!

Other than the Gerson Therapy there are various centres around the world that have had success healing cancer. I have put up the details of some alternative cancer centres on my blog, so remember to check www. AliaAlmoayedBlog.com
