The struggle against cancer is a daunting prospect, a life and death fight that can be overwhelming. Being delivered such unfortunate news is a devastating blow in itself, not to mention conventional methods of treatment leave something to be desired. Surgery takes a major toll on the body, while chemotherapy and radiation poison the system. In the effort to kill the disease, healthy cells are damaged as well, doing more harm than good. Many patients succumb to the ravages of cancer treatments, rather than the illness itself. Fortunately, cancer victims can take hope with natural remedies that can help them to win the battle in a holistic approach. Simple changes in diet can make a difference.
Vitamin D is crucial for building healthy cells.
Vitamin D is a hot topic in the scientific community right now. It has always been recognized as an important vitamin. Years ago, it was discovered that a lack of this vitamin resulted in Rickets and poor bone strength. Lack of exposure to the sun causes a deficiency. Cancer patients should increase vitamin D levels through the addition of foods rich in the vitamin, daily exposure to sunlight, and supplements as well.
 Load up on antioxidants to fight free radicals in the body.
Antioxidants have been the fuel behind many recent studies as well. Vitamins E, A, and C are some of the most common and they are found in many fruits and vegetables. Known as phytochemicals, these powerful vitamins attack certain molecules in the body that are commonly referred to as free radicals. These oxygen molecules damage the DNA in our cells, potentially leading to the development of cancer. Include antioxidants in fresh produce, proteins, and supplement form to counteract the negative effects of free radicals. This is a good move as a preventative measure and to slow the progress of the disease once cancer has struck.
Don’t forget ginger.
Ginger is a good addition to the diet to combat nausea. When dealing with cancer, regardless of treatment methods, the appetite is often affected. It is vital that a cancer patient gets the proper nutrition in order to maintain strength and energy levels. Consulting a Cancer Healing Center in Los Angeles or one in your local area would be a good idea when deciding whether or not natural remedies are right for you.
Plant Based Diet
As you can see from the sections above, natural or plant based foods are a great way to fight or even prevent cancer. Some experts have said that if you’re able to have a diet that is 2/3 plant based foods, you have a much better chance of not even getting cancer in the first place. With this being the case, most people would need to make some pretty big changes to their diets, so don’t feel like you’re the only one that isn’t eating properly. This does not mean you need to instantly clean out the vegetable isle at Walmart, but just be more conscious about what and how much you’re eating.
Mary says
Natural herbs have cured so many illnesses that drugs and injections can’t cure. I’ve seen the great importance of natural herbs and the wonderful work they have done in people’s lives. I read people’s testimonies online on how they were cured of herpes, HIV, diabetes, etc by Dr. Ogba Kosu herbal medicine, so I decided to contact the doctor because I know nature has the power to heal anything. I was diagnosed with HIV for the past 7 years but Dr. Ogba Kuso cured me with his herbs and I referred my aunt and her husband to him immediately because they were both suffering from herpes and they were cured too.I know is hard to believe but am a living testimony. There is no harm in trying herbs. He is also a spell caster, he cast spells to restore broken marriages and good luck spells to prosper and excel in life.
