Overcome Cancer Naturally By Christine E. Maguire, DC
Read that last line again. You have the inborn potential to heal yourself. You do it every day. If you cut yourself, bruise yourself, break a bone, what happens? Your body heals it. You don’t even have to think about that. Have you ever thought of the magnitude of physiological changes that have to happen for you to heal a paper cut? And imagine a broken bone? Your body is amazing. That being said, sometimes it breaks down, doesn’t it? Do you think it does that from random chance? Or do you think it may be from the stressful lives we are living?
M Let’s take a look at what determines our health. Even conser-
vative estimates are that less than five percent of chronic illness, including cancer, is attributable to genes. The other 95% of our health then is determined by our lifestyle. Our lifestyle; or how we eat, move and think, determines our health. When it comes to can- cer or any other chronic illness like heart disease, diabetes, obesity, etc., the better we eat, move and think, the healthier we will be. If I were told I had cancer today, I would absolutely make sure I am doing my best to eat right, move right and think right. Let’s take a look at the top ten things that in my opinion would help.
1. Cut out sugar immediately. Cancer feeds on sugar. It uses sugar as fuel to grow and thrive. Sugar includes simple carbs and grains, not just the obvious, like candy. It includes soda, breads, rice, cookies, pasta, ice cream, crackers, etc. A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that higher fasting blood glucose levels were associated with an increase in cancer incidence and cancer-related deaths. Don’t just take my word for it, search “Cancer and sugar” to read the research.
ost of us have cancer cells at some point and don’t know it. And most of us have healed our cancer without know- ing it. You may be healing cancer now as you read this.
2. Eat more raw food: fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. Intake of fruits and vegetables is inversely proportionate to the rate of can- cer. The more fruits and vegetables you eat, the less your chance of cancer, and the less fruits and vegetables you eat, the greater your chance of cancer. All plant foods contain nutrients, which aid healing.
3. Check your Vitamin D levels and take a supplement if your levels are below 60ng/ml. When Vitamin D levels are between 60-90ng/ml, it has been found to reduce the spread and repro- duction of cancer cells.
4. Drink more water. Water brings oxygen to cancer cells. The more hydrated your body is, the better your body can fight can- cer. Adding lemon to your water also provides a different flavor while acting as a cleanser for your liver.
5. Keep your body free of as many chemicals as possible. That means drink the cleanest water, breathe the freshest air whenev- er possible and use organic soaps, detergents, shampoos, tooth- paste, deodorant and cleaning products in your home. Elimi- nate all chemicals in your food as well. This includes artificial sweeteners, artificial flavors (especially MSG), artificial colors, soda, caffeine, coffee, high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated/ partially hydrogenated oils/trans fats (especially margarine), alcohol, processed meat, dairy and sugar. Along with sugar, I would recommend eliminating other white foods like potatoes, rice, bread and pasta.
6. Do some sort of exercise every day. Exercise is essential. Give your cells oxygen! Exercise also improves your body’s immune response, which is what helps us kill cancer cells every day. There are plenty of studies that show exercise helps fight cancer.
7. Get 8-9 hours of quality sleep each night. The body rebuilds and heals while you sleep so it is very important to get rest.
