Know your cancer curing options

There are many alternative treatments that actually cure cancer without side effects. Some of them are offered at alternative clinics in Mexico, the Caribbean, Cuba, Europe, Russia, and Indonesia.

But there are some major proven effective treatments that can be done at home with very little expense. Experienced alternative cancer researchers recommend using two or three different protocols if one does not attend a clinic.

A Common Foundation

Common to all treatments is what some call the cancer diet. Some cancer survivors have cured themselves by solely going vegan or vegetarian with slow speed juicing and super foods. However, there are certain individuals whose body type requires some meat. Grass fed non-factory farm produced meat is required for them.

All cancer diets exclude sugar, coffee, alcohol, and processed or junk foods. They produce acidity in the body. Cancer patients have pH readings of 4 to 5. Citrus, though acidic, tends to produce alkalinity as it`s metabolized. Good health occurs with a more alkaline reading of 7.

Accepting cancer as an indicator for lifestyle changes with a positive willingness to change is a common theme. Letting go of emotional wounds with acceptance and forgiveness is often part of the healing process as well.

Some Inexpensive, Safe, and Efficacious Therapies

Otto Warburg discovered that cancer cells thrive by fermenting glucose. They cannot survive with oxygen, as normal cells do. Avoiding sugar with the cancer diet and getting oxygen into cancer cells is a primary cancer solution.

The Budwig Diet uses a deceptively simple technique for getting oxygen into cancer cells by consuming the right fats with sulfuric proteins. The core of Budwig`s diet is cold pressed flaxseed oil with cottage cheese, and lots of sunshine.

An herbal remedy passed on to a Canadian nurse by a Native American healer decades ago is highly recommended by holistic healers in North America. It can be used with any other therapy. It`s called Essiac Tea.

Cesium chloride creates a sudden surge in alkalinity that weakens cancer cells and promotes oxygenation. This can leech potassium from the body. It`s best to use a cesium provider that will assist your cesium treatment by phone to ensure your potassium levels remain constant.

Apricot kernels are proven cancer cell killers. The kernels contain amygdalin, which is the source of laetrile or B17. Laetrile was banned in the 1970s because it was so effective! Nevertheless, inexpensive apricot kernels can be ordered from several sources.



Bicarbonate of soda creates a sudden alkaline surge that destroys cancer cells. An internationally renowned Italian oncologist, Dr. Tulio Simoncini, has a very high cure rate applying baking soda with glucose by catheter or IV. The glucose tricks the cancer cells into opening wide for the baking soda.

Mark Sircus, OMD, asserts that some cancers can be cured by ingesting the baking soda with molasses, the way Vernon Johnstone did.

The Gerson Therapy is available at their Mexico clinic. However, certain basic aspects, such as slow speed juicing and coffee enemas to purify the liver can be applied along with any other therapy. Healing herb formulas can be obtained with a long enough visit at Hoxsey`s Bio-Medical Clinic. (Sources below)

Ozone therapy is a very direct way of oxygenating cancer cells to death. But it`s best to go to a clinic for that, especially for lung cancer. Even so, there are those who use food grade H202 in conjunction with other therapies. Ozone therapy is legal throughout the regions described at the beginning of this article.

Added sugars linked to risk of heart disease in teenagers

Although most people still believe that eating saturated fats and cholesterol is the greatest risk factor in developing heart disease, the real threat comes from refined sugars in the diet. A new study finds that even teenagers who consume too many added sugars in soft drinks and foods develop high cholesterol and may have higher risk of heart disease as adults.

The research, published in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association, followed 2,157 teenagers aged 12 to 18 as part of the National Health and Nutrition Survey (NHANES). The teenagersadded sugar daily which equates to over 28 teaspoons or 476 calories, and represented over 21 percent of their diet.

Researchers found that teens consuming the most added sugars (more than 30 percent of total calories) had lower levels of high density lipoprotein (HDL), the good cholesterol, and higher levels of both triglycerides and low density lipoproteins (LDL), the bad cholesterol.

"Added sugars" were defined by the researchers as any caloric sweeteners added to foods or beverages by the manufacturer during processing or by the consumer. According to the researchers, previous studies have indicated that the largest contributors of added sugars to the diet are sugary beverages such as sodas, fruit

Teenagers with the highest levels of added sugar had good HDL cholesterol levels that were nine percent lower than those with the lowest sugar consumption. Their bad LDL levels were also nine percent higher. In addition, triglyceride levels of the highest users were 10 percent higher than those using the least amount of added sugars. Finally, overweight or obese adolescents with the highest levels of added sugar consumption

The researchers expressed the concern that with long-term exposure, the unfavorable cholesterol profiles of these adolescents would place them at risk for heart disease later in adulthood. Previous research had only focused on adults.

In 2009, the American Heart Association issued a new scientific statement recommending that women limit their intake of added sugars to 100 calories per day and that men limit their daily intake to 150 calories. That equates to a maximum of 6 to 9 teaspoons daily, at 16 calories per teaspoon.

Unfortunately, food labels don't let you know how many teaspoons of sugar you're eating. First of all, they measure everything in grams rather than teaspoons. Secondly, they don't tell you how many sugar grams are added to the product versus how many are naturally occurring as, for example, lactose in dairy products and fructose in products containing fruit. That problem won't be solved until the government changes food labeling laws to require specific disclosure of added sugars.

Each 4 grams of sugar on the label is one teaspoon, or 16 calories. So your maximum 6 to 9 teaspoons will be equivalent to 24 to 36 grams on a food label.

The researchers recommended that both adolescents and adults should use the nutrition labels on drinks and food to become familiar with the amount of sugar in them, and to replace sugar laden drinks with water to substantially reduce sugar and calories.
were consuming an average of 119 grams of drinks, coffees and teas. showed increased signs of insulin resistance.

Sunscreen causes rickets - new wave of cases in England

Overprotective parents who cover their children with sunscreen even in far northern latitudes have helped bring the disease rickets back from the grave across the United Kingdom, orthopedic surgeon Nicholas Clark has warned.

Ricketts is a childhood bone-softening disease produced by deficiency of vitamin D, which the body produces upon exposure to sunlight. Children living far from the equator, where the sun is weaker, are particularly at risk if they do not get regular skin exposure to full-strength sunlight. The disease was common in the United Kingdom for centuries, until fortification of milk helped stamp it out 80 years ago.

Now doctors are warning that cases are on the rise even in the southern parts of England, where they had not been seen for decades.

"The return of
rickets in northern parts of the UK came as a surprise despite the colder climate and lower levels of sunshine in the north, but what has developed in Southampton is quite astonishing," Clark said.

"In my 22 years at Southampton General Hospital, this is a completely new occurrence ... that has evolved over the last 12 to 24 months and we are seeing cases across the board, from areas of deprivation up to the middle classes."

Clark attributes the rise in rickets in large part to a more sedentary, indoor lifestyle combined with over-application of sunscreen.

Only extreme cases of vitamin D deficiency produce rickets, but more mild cases of deficiency and insufficiency can also increase the risk of a wide variety of diseases.

"Vitamin D levels ... significantly affect the complications associated with ... a Westernized diet and lifestyle," writes Gabriel Cousens in his book There Is a Cure for Diabetes.

"Research shows that vitamin D has a variety of important benefits besides lowering blood sugar. It seems to protect against eighteen different kinds of cancers, has a significant positive impact on the immune system in fighting colds and flus, viruses, and TB, and protects against rickets and osteoporosis."


A glass of wine a day helps prevent diabetes



A single glass of red wine may be as effective at controlling blood sugar as standard diabetes drugs, according to a study conducted by researchers from the University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences in Vienna, Austria.

Previous research has shown that red wine, grape skins and red grape juice are high in plant chemicals called polyphenols. These antioxidants have been shown to help the body regulate blood sugar, and may thereby help prevent or control diabetes. In the current study, researchers studied the action of grape polyphenols on a cell receptor called PPAR-gamma, which plays an important role in blood sugar regulation, energy storage and fat storage. They found that even a small glass of wine has enough polyphenols to activate the receptor at least as effectively as the diabetes drug Avandia.

The researchers also compared the polyphenol content of 12 different wines, confirming the popular wisdom that concentrations are higher in red wine.

"This is further scientific evidence that a small amount of wine really is beneficial for health," researcher Alois Jungbauer said.

He cautioned, however, that wine can be high in calories and that moderate consumption is key.

"Moderate is the equivalent of a small glass each day for women, and two for men," he said. "Our big problem is to convey the message of a healthy lifestyle because too much wine will cause diabetes and obesity."

"If you have wine then you must reduce your intake of calories from food by the same amount."

Moderate wine consumption is a characteristic of the Mediterranean Diet, which has been shown to improve lifespan and reduce the risk of chronic disease.

"The traditional Mediterranean diet has shown tremendous benefit in fighting heart disease and cancer, as well as diabetes," write Michael Murray and Joseph Pizzorno in The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods.

"It has the following characteristics: Olive oil is the principal source of fat. The diet centers on an abundance of plant food, including fruit, vegetables, breads, pasta, potatoes, beans, nuts, and seeds. Foods are minimally processed, and there is a focus on seasonally fresh and locally grown foods."
