Cancer Natural Treatment

Cancer: Natural Treatment

You have pre-cancerous cells in your body right now. All of us do. Fortunately, our bodies usually do a good job of regulating these cells. Cancer develops when our body"s natural ability to regulate itself breaks down. Nutrient deficiencies, free radical build-up, toxic overload, hyperacidity and infections are just some of the factors that block our body"s natural regulation.

Conventional medicine"s approach to cancer is to cut out or kill these unregulated cells with radiation or chemotherapy. This may be a beneficial reactionary approach for some; however it does not address the process that lead to and initiated the cancer to grow in the first place. Natural medicine has the ability to address the underlying causes, which is why it can be an excellent preventative and/or complementary cancer treatment.

Holistic health care can have a role in treating patients with cancer. There is a difference between treating cancer and treating patients who have cancer. This is an important distinction. Patients with cancer need balancing of the muscloskeletal system for neck and back pain, just like anyone else. They need good nutrition, exercise and adequate rest.

When the body is fighting any disease process, anything that benefits health will help it in its fight. Good nutrition will help the immune system and protect healthy tissues. For example, scientists from Cornell University and Seoul National University have written in the medical journal, The Lancet, to explain the anti-cancer activity of vitamin C. Researchers found that vitamin C blocks the carcinogenic effects of hydrogen peroxide on intercellular communication. Other antioxidants, vitamin D, calcium and fish oils have all been shown to be beneficial for cancer patients.
