April 23, 2009 Cancer is one of the second largest dreaded diseases in the world. It refers to all tumors caused by the abnormal growth of body cells. It is derived from the Latin word “Carcinoma” which means crab.
Cancer can occur at any age group, irrespective of sex of the person affected. In men cancer is found in the lungs, intestines and prostrate glands. In women it mostly occurs in the gall bladder, breast tissues, uterus and thyroid.
The most common symptoms of cancer are change in bladder or bowel habits, a sore that does not heal thickening or lump in the breast or elsewhere, unusual discharge or bleeding, difficulty in swallowing or indigestion and a persistent nagging cough or hoarseness.
Other symptoms may include a change in skin color, unexpected loss of weight and changes in menstrual cycle, especially bleeding between periods.
The main cause of cancer is not known. However certain carcinogenous substances increase probability of getting the disease. Consumption of tobacco, betel leaf and slaked lime are linked with the cancer of mouth, tongue, lips and throat. Excessive alcohol consumption may cause stomach and liver cancers.
Overexposure to industrial pollutants such as tar, nickel, asbestos, soot and high doses of X-rays can lead to skin cancers or leukemia. Meat may also lead to cancer as during digestion, it exhibits a carcinogenic by product, ammonia.
Treatment of Cancer: The treatment of cancer should first commence with making all the necessary changes in diet and elimination of all carcinogenic substances and industrial pollutants.
Diet plays a very important role in the prevention and development of cancer. The use of natural foods contributes a lot to the treatment and prevention of cancer.
The patient should first start by cleansing the system thoroughly, by relieving constipation and by making all organs of elimination such as the liver, lungs, bowels, skin and kidneys active.
For cleansing the colon, enemas should be used. The patient should remain on fruits such as lemons, oranges, grapefruits, peaches, tomatoes, pineapples and pears for the first five days. Carrot juice can also be taken by the patient during this period.
After remaining on an exclusive diet of fruits thereafter, the patient may be given a nourishing alkaline based diet. This diet should consist of only natural foods with more emphasis on raw vegetables and fruits such as green leafy vegetables, cucumber, onion, garlic, asparagus, tomatoes, carrots and beets.
Sprouted seeds and other vegetable sources such as sesame seeds, almonds, millet and grains may also be taken along with natural foods.
The use of wheatgrass has also proved to be an effective remedy in the treatment and cure of leukemia. Many cases of cure have been reported by the consumption of fresh juice of wheatgrass. Wheatgrass juice provides all the essential and nutritive elements to the body like chlorophyll, vitamins, minerals and trace elements which helps it in repairing itself.
Grape diet is also very beneficial for cancer patients. This treatment should first commence by observing a fast for three days and prepare the system for the change of diet. After the fast the patient should have a meal of grapes every two hours throughout the day.
This grape meal therapy should be continued for a week or so, and even for a month in chronic cases of long standing. Grape cure should first be started by the patient with a small quantity at first and then increasing it twice. Normally 150 to 200gms of grapes can be taken per meal.
Use of certain vitamins can also be very effective in the fight against cancer and they can even increase the life expectancy of some of the terminal cancer patients. Vitamin C when taken in large doses can be an effective prophylactic agent. Vitamin A also proves to be helpful in boosting up the body’s defense mechanism for the prevention and treatment of cancer.
Along with this, higher consumption of vegetables such as carrots, squash, green leafy vegetables, tomatoes, fresh strawberries and dry fruits decrease the risk of cancer.
Other useful measures for the prevention of cancer are complete freedom from stress and worries, plenty of rest, physical exercises and plenty of fresh air.
Thus we can conclude that natural remedies can also prove to be immensely beneficial in the treatment of harmful diseases such as cancer by automatically increasing the body’s natural defense mechanism.
