Can we prevent cancer? Sure we can. With just enough knowledge and healthy life style, we can do it! So learn as much as you can about this life threatening illness. Your time and effort will be well compensated when your body does not get affected by cancer.

Irregular cell division is the main culprit when it comes to cancer. Our body cells divide to help it function is normal and healthy way. But when we get affected by cancer, our cells divide in an irregular way, resulting to a growth or tumor that may be benign or malignant.

The common way to treat this is by chemotherapy which targets both the abnormal and healthy normal cells of the body. To attack this cancer, all our body cells will be attacked. Ouch! But for those cancer patients they have to endure it to get well.

So the big question is how do we prevent all this from happening? If you inherited the genes of your relative who has cancer, you are at a high risk. But you can live healthy.

With this day and age when a lot of deadly disease surfacing, some of them no symptoms or few, you don’t really know. Cancer specifically, today you might be healthy but the next you may be not. It attacks unexpectedly.

All of us, when we think of having cancer, we want to yell out that we want to live longer. We wanted to treat this disease enjoy our live more. Well, for prostate cancer and other types of cancer, the most commonly done treatment is chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is where we take drugs in our body to help fight the cancer cells but unfortunately the normal cells are also attacked by the chemotherapeutic drugs. Doesn’t sound great right? I’m not so keen of doing that to my body. But what can we do?

The best we can do is to focus more in the prevention part. We can adopt a healthy lifestyle by getting enough rest and exercise. Our diets can also help prevent prostate cancer. Like tomatoes which are rich in lycopene which helps to prevent cancer. You can also include salmon in your diet. It is said to have essential oils that will help prevent certain illnesses like heart diseases and cancer.

Yes cancer can be prevented. We just have to arm ourselves with enough knowledge about the disease and how to prevent it to save our lives and the lives of the people we care about.

Liver Cancer Treatment

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

The organ that cleanses the bloodstream by flushing out the toxins from our body is the liver.

For treating liver cancer, the traditional method would be for the patient to undergo chemotherapy. However, some disagree to chemotherapy as they believe that the patient is already very ill and it stops the body from healing itself in the natural way.

In line with that thought, there are now alternative ways to treat liver cancer. Holistic medicine’s approach to disease is that the entire body must be nourished first then nutrients and other medicine plants can attack the liver cancer.

Here are some examples of alternative methods to treat liver cancer:

  • Drink at least 1/2 – 1 gallon of pure water every day to help flush the liver toxins.
  • A combination of herbs developed by a nurse in 1935 is the Essaic tea. The nurse treated her mother who has liver cancer and the mother has fully recovered after 10 days treatment. An herbalist can help you find your correct dosage as these herbs are very potent.
  • Said to target the liver cells and produce cleansing effects on the liver is the Dandelion Root.
  • Eating raw organic fruits and vegetables can help fight cancer as they contain antioxidants. Grapes are very much recommended because they are good detoxifiers.
  • Bee pollen are claimed to help a patient recover from untreatable liver cancer.
  • Vitamin D3 are said to stop liver cancer spread. The recommend dose is 4000-600 IU a day.
  • Coffee enemas are powerful detoxifiers in addition to other treatments.

If you plan to pursue the use of alternative methods, it would still be best to consult your doctor to help evaluate whether they can be used or not.
