World Cancer Day, which occurs every year on February 4th, helps unite people around the world to raise awareness via education about this life-threatening disease. The main objective is to get as many people as possible talking about cancer on February 4th. Spread the word to keep the search for a cure alive.
Cancer is a disease that kills 8.2 million people worldwide every year. Roughly half of those cancer cases die prematurely (ages 39-69). Characterized by out-of-control cell growth and abnormal cells that damage regular bodily tissues, cancer makes it difficult for the body to function properly. Cancer is not a singular disease, rather, there are many types of cancer, but how fast each type spreads and grows will differ. The most common types of cancer include prostate cancer, colon cancer, breast cancer, testicular cancer, lung cancer, lymphoma, ovarian cancer, and bone cancer, among many others.
To spread awareness, we have compiled a list of herbal remedies that can help fight cancer naturally. These remedies may be more effective certain types of cancer and how early the cancer is caught.
Dietary Change
It is best to start eating organic, plant-based foods and drinking raw, fresh juices after being diagnosed with cancer. Eliminating processed foods, fried foods, meats, dairy products, junk foods, soy products, and genetically modified foods from your diet can greatly benefit your health. Additionally, you can drink alkaline water, which helps establish a neutral pH balance in the body.
Cleanse Your System
Keeping the body free of toxins is paramount for cancer patients, which is why it may be beneficial to participate in a cleanse. Our Full Body Cleanse can help you naturally get rid of toxins through your major eliminative channels, as well as cleanse your major organs and systems. Depending on the type of Cancer you have, you may need to look into our other cleanses to target the affected area.
Frankincense Oil Treatment
When it comes to patients with breast cancer, brain cancer, colon cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, and stomach cancer, Frankincense oil therapy has been known to be very effective because of its cancer-killing properties that promote healing. To administer this therapy, rub a few drops of Frankincense essential oil on your neck three times a day. You should also mix 3 drops of Frankincense with 8oz of water and drink that mixture three times a day as well.
Eat More Turmeric
The benefits of curcumin have been widely examined for their anticancer properties. Curcumin is most commonly present in turmeric, and this herb has been known to have the most positive effects on patients with breast cancer, stomach cancer, bowel cancer, and skin cancer. Recent studies have shown that fresh turmeric can help reduce the size of tumors and even kill cancer cells.
Improve Your Digestion
It can be beneficial to eat probiotic foods, or natural probiotic supplements promote healthy gut flora. Since 80% of your immune system is located in your gut, probiotics can boost your immune system, thus helping to reduce tumors. Additionally, probiotics help establish better digestive function and help promote healthy bowel movements. Great probiotic foods include sauerkraut, fermented pickles, fermented vegetables, kimchi, and kefir.
Meditation
People with cancer sometimes incorporate meditation or prayer into their lives. Making peace with yourself and the cancer in your body can sometimes help you have a more positive outlook on life and it can even help with the healing process. Try to practice stress-reducing exercises like yoga, Tai Chi, meditation, and even schedule massages or acupuncture to relieve stress and pain.
Oxygen Therapy
Oxygen therapy and hyperbaric chambers are options you may consider exploring if you have cancer. Oxygen deficiency is one of the root causes of cancer, and that causes the body to be more acidic. Dr. Warburg noted that cancer cells do not breathe oxygen and cannot survive in the presence of high oxygen levels, i.e. an alkaline state. A hyperbaric chamber contains air pressure that is 2.5 times greater than the normal pressure in our atmosphere. When your body is in this chamber, your blood carries more oxygen to the many organs and tissues in the body. It isn’t very mainstream, but it may be a natural remedy worth exploring.
