Basic Holistic
Steps to Address CANCER
by Sangeeta Pati MD, FACOG W
hether you have cancer, had cancer or you don’t want cancer, the questions that
you fi nd yourself asking are: Is cancer preventable? What can I do to prevent a recurrence? What are the holistic options available for cancer? What evidence supports these options? Will these options compliment or contradict my current treatments?
As I see more cancer cases, I fi nd
myself looking for these answers and I have acknowledged the importance of having some understanding of factors that contribute to cancer in the fi rst place. In Part I of this series, I will discuss some basic holistic steps that address these contributing factors that apply to everyone. In Part II, I will
discuss therapies that may compliment traditional cancer treatments. You can change your entire experience with cancer simply by knowing that there are many things you can do to infl uence a great outcome. Most cancers are preventable. It is great news that most cancers are not genetic. Only 9 out of 100 breast cancer cases are accounted for by identifi able genetics. Only 6 out of 100 prostate cancers are accounted for by genetics. Thus, over 90% of cancers cases are accounted for by correctable factors that weaken the immune system. A weak immune system allows
cancer cells to grow. Every day cancer cells form in the body, and every day the healthy immune system identifi es
and eliminates these abnormally-dividing cells. When the immune system is weak, a cancer cell can multiply from one cell to two cells, then to four cells and eventually to masses at detectable sizes of 0.5 to 1.0 cm. This process can take from 5 to 20 years depending on the aggressiveness of the cancer and the strength of the immune system. Even if a cancer grows, a weak immune system can regain strength and shrink—or even completely eliminate—a growing cancer. This is referred to as a spontaneous regression. So what can you do to strengthen your immune system? Most importantly, set your
intention to be well. There is currently a growing body of literature supporting the effect of our thoughts on the immune system. Believing “My cells are healthy and happy.” releases neurotransmitters that stimulate the immune system. The belief “I fear I am sick.” releases an entirely different set of neurotransmitters that depress the immune system. Once you decide to be well, there are fi ve main areas you can address:
1) Reduce stress to the mind and
the body. Mental and physical stressors deplete the body’s reserve of immune-protective nutrients and hormones. Whether it is a painful knee, bad news, a fl at tire, a sick family member, a buzzing phone, drama or a commitment, neurons fi re and deplete the body’s reserve. Of
Is your head on straight?
Upper Cervical doctors focus on the top two bones in your neck. The brain stem passes through these bones and is responsible for transmitting the nerve impulses from the brain to every part of the body. If one of the top two bones becomes misaligned, even slightly, it can affect the nerve transmission to
multiple parts of the body which can cause a variety of health conditions. Upper Cervical care has helped people who suffer from a variety of health conditions including: Fibromyalgia, Migraine Headaches, Concussion/Whiplash Injuries, Neurologi- cal Disorders and More!
