Diet, Nutrition & Energy Healing

Diet and cancer are associated. While it is not yet possible to provide quantitative estimates of the overall risks, it has been estimated that 35 percent of cancer deaths may be related to dietary factors. Almost all cancers (80–90%) are caused by environmental factors, and of these, 30–40% of cancers are directly linked to the diet.

Several books have been written to emphasize on the importance of adapting to a new diet to live a disease-free life and to beat cancer. The general thought is that 'this won't happen to me' but cancer can happen to anyone at anytime. However, it has been noted that the tumor growth is slow and sometimes stopped among people who have abandoned meat and dairy product. Following are some very informative books that are widely recommended and have been known to make a difference in people's health.

QI GONG

Qigong (pronounced chee gong or chee kung) is a Chinese healing practice using movement, affirmations, breath work, visualizations and meditation, to improve the flow of the vital energy or life force called qi (pronounced chee).

In China there’s a hospital that routinely dissolves cancerous tumors using the 5,000-year-old healing practice, called Qigong. In fact, there is a stunning videotape showing hospital practitioners dissolving a cancer patient’s orange-sized tumor in 40 seconds! The Huaxia Zhineng Qigong Center is the world’s largest medicineless hospital. Four Qigong masters from the hospital dissolved the tumor described above while 2 doctors monitored the procedure via real-time CT scan.
Since it opened its doors in 1980, the Center has treated more than 135,000 patients with 180 different diseases — and has achieved an overall success rate of 95 percent! Read here for more information on the practice.

In Houston, the Shaolin temple on Bellaire is the place where Grandmaster Shi de Shan, a 31st Generation Shaolin kung fu monk, has brought genuine Shaolin mastery and treats patients with the art of Qi Gong. For more info, visit the website here.

FORKS OVER KNIVES

Forks over Knives is a 2011 American documentary film directed by American independent filmmaker Lee Fulkerson. Through an examination of the  careers of American physician Caldwell Esselstyn and professor of nutritional biochemistry T. Colin Campbell, the film advocates a whole foods, plant-based (vegan) diet as a means of combating a number of diseases. It suggests that "most, if not all, of the degenerative diseases that afflict us can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting our present menu of animal-based and processed foods." The film also provides an overview of the 20-year China-Cornell-Oxford Project that led to Professor Campbell's findings, outlined in his book, The China Study (2005) in which he suggests that coronary disease, diabetes, obesity, and cancer can be linked to the Western diet of processed and animal-based foods (including all dairy products).

THE CHINA STUDY

The China Study offers conclusive evidence that a change of diet can dramatically reduce the risks of heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. The book is based on the most comprehensive study of nutrition ever conducted, a 20-year joint project between Cornell University, Oxford University, and the Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine. The study surveyed the eating habits of 6,500 adults from all over China and Taiwan and found a direct correlation between diet and disease. Author T. Colin Campbell, the study's project director, provides an intelligent, well-documented analysis of the study's results, an analysis that explodes the most common American dietary myths. In addressing the dietary sources of the most common diseases, including cancer, Campbell unleashes a no-holds-barred attack on the commercial interests that profit by selling the American public unhealthy food. He also shows how readers can use the study's results to change their diets and improve their health.

FIGHT CANCER NATURALLY

 
 

CURCUMIN

Curcumin, a substance found in the spice turmeric, may help prevent or treat cancer. Curcumin is thought to have antioxidant properties, which means it may decrease swelling and inflammation, that appears to play a role in cancer. Laboratory and animal research suggests that curcumin may prevent cancer, slow the spread of cancer, make chemotherapy more effective and protect healthy cells from damage by radiation therapy. Curcumin is being studied for use in many types of cancer.As always, talk with your doctor before using any herbal supplement.

Used in the ancient Chinese and Indian systems of medicine, curcumin is a naturally powerful anticancer compound that has been found to decrease brain tumor size in animals by 81 percent in more than 9 studies. A derivative of turmeric, curcumin is the pigment responsible for turmeric’s yellow-orange color. Each 100 grams of turmeric contains around 3 to 5 grams of curcumin, though turmeric is a also very powerful on its own. New studies are shedding light on curcumin, and illuminating its numerous benefits on cancer and other diseases.

According to a study conducted in 2008 and published in Cancer Prevention Research, curcumin also inhibits the growth and spread of breast cancer cells by directly impacting the function of alpha6beta4 integrin, responsible for cancer progression. Another study, performed in 2010, found that curcumin also has the potential to target cancer stem cells. Following the wave of information of curcumin, researchers who posted their findings in Molecular Pharmacology classified curcumin as a pancreatic cancer cell inhibitor back in 2009. Even more interesting is the fact that in most of these studies the researchers concluded that curcumin may also aid many different types of cancer that were not included in the trials.

Researchers experimenting with curcumin in the treatment of a fatal brain cancer known as glioblastoma (GBMs) published their groundbreaking findings in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry in July. Adding scientific basis to previous findings surrounding the positive effects of curcumin, they showed that the compound dramatically decreased brain tumors in 9 out of the 11 studies examined by 81 percent. Furthermore, there was no evidence of toxicity, whereas chemotherapy and other cancer treatments often result in extreme side effects that are sometimes worse than the actual disease. Curcumin is not only effective against brain cancer, however.

According to Neil Feldman, Curcumin works best when taken with hot pepper, or chilli.



BAKING SODA

There is plenty of research showing the link between acidic pH and cancer. Cancer thrives in an acidic environment, and doesn't survive in an normal, more alkaline environment. Cancer cells make your body even more acidic as they produce lactic acid. So if you have cancer, your pH levels are low and your body is too acidic.

Taking action to make your body more alkaline is vital in the battle against cancer. Studies in respected medical journals worldwide consistently support the use of a simple dirt-cheap product for reversing acidity -- baking soda.

Baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate is safe, extremely inexpensive and unstoppably effective when it comes to cancer tissues. It's an irresistible chemical, cyanide to cancer cells for it hits the cancer cells with a shock wave of alkalinity, which allows much more oxygen into the cancer cells than they can tolerate. Cancer cells cannot survive in the presence of high levels of oxygen. Sodium bicarbonate is, for all intent and purposes, an instant killer of tumors. Full treatment takes only days, as does another cancer treatment that heats the cancer cells with laser generated heat.

Recommended use : 1/4 spoon baking soda in a spoon of honey or in water.

BASIL

The Holy Basil (tulsi) is a clinically proven antioxidant, cancer fighter, neuropathy healer, and anti-microbial. It is also a herbal remedy for a lot of common ailments including Fever, Cough, Respiratory Disorder, Sore Throat, Kidney Stones, Headache, Stress, Skin, Eye & Heart Disorder.

Basil contains numerous volatile compounds and other substances that have powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antifungal properties. Basil may help alleviate type 2 diabetes by improving insulin activity in the body. Carnosol, a component of basil, has been shown to inhibit carcinogenesis of human prostate cancer cells. While the evidence is mixed as to whether basil can retard liver tumor formation in experimental mice, it has been shown to inhibit liver cancer metastasis. Basil leaf extract has been found to be highly effective in inhibiting carcinogen-induced lung tumor incidence in experimental mice. Basil oil and its components have been shown to have significant anti-proliferative activity in the mouse leukemia and kidney cells. In addition, basil oil has been found to significantly inhibit carcinogen-induced squamous cell carcinoma in the stomachs of experimental mice.

 

PAPAYA


Papaya is a store-house of cancer fighting lycopene. The intense orangey-pink color of papaya means it is chock full of cancer fighting carotenoids. Not only beta carotene, but lycopene is found in abundance. The construction of lycopene makes it highly reactive toward oxygen and free radicals. Scientists at the University of Illinois think this anti-oxidant activity contributes to its effectiveness as a cancer fighting agent.

 

 


 

GARLIC

Garlic contains substances that are especially powerful weapons against cancer, says the American Institute for Cancer Research. So including garlic in your diet may help you treat cancer.

Livestrong.com reports that Cell culture studies have shown that garlic can help cancer cells die off, according to the American Cancer Society. The National Cancer Institute also says that garlic can induce the deaths of cancer cells and that garlic can reduce the rate at which cancer cells proliferate, thereby slowing the progression of cancer in the body. In laboratory studies, garlic has killed leukemia cells, and in animal studies, garlic has killed cancer cells in the lungs, breasts, stomach, esophagus and colon, according to the American Institute for Cancer Research.

Both animal studies and cell culture studies have revealed that garlic may reduce the growth rates of cancerous tumors, the American Cancer Society says. Garlic can either slow down or stop cancerous tumors in the tissue of various body parts, including the stomach, bladder, prostate and colon, reports the American Institute for Cancer Research.
