The worst part about it is that cancer is very debilitating and those that do die from it pass slowly and often painfully. However, some others are able to beat cancer naturally without having to undergo painful radiation therapy.
Most of the patients who are able to beat cancer are able to do so by eating the right organic, healthy diet, which brings their body back to a natural alkaline state. They also use the juice from these fruits and vegetables to cleanse their bodies. Cancer and disease can only thrive in an acidic body, or a body full of harmful toxins.
What is Acidic and alkaline? Think of it this way, a swamp (which is home to bugs, reptiles, dirty, muggy water) is an acidic environment, while a field of flowers (hosting bees and butterflies) is an alkaline environment.
Your body can become acidic for many reasons, and actually most people's bodies are acidic because they don't live a healthy lifestyle. Chemicals, processed food, food choices, poor air quality, and your environment all play a role in making your body acidic.
You can test yourself with acid/alkaline ph strips you can find at your local health food store. They are inexpensive and easy to use. If you would like more information on this or have any question regarding the topic of this article consult a doctor who practices natural, or eastern medicine.
How To Eat To Get Your Body Alkaline
It is important to note, however, that some cancer patients, who are very sick, or are far along with their illness should consult their doctor about what they should eat for nutrition. Sometimes being extremely sick with cancer or other illnesses can cause your body to react poorly to certain foods, even if they are healthy for you normally.
How Do Fruits and Vegetables Fend Off Cancer?
Organic fruits and vegetables are high in antioxidants, which help fight off the cancer cells and make your body alkaline. Making fresh juice from organic fruit and vegetables can be even better because they are concentrated and your body can absorb them faster. Try watermelon juice, it is very cleansing and tastes great.
Fruits that are purple or dark colored are especially recommended for a cancer patient's nutrition. Dark colored fruits contain more antioxidants. To get the maximum nutrition, you may juice up different types of fruits and vegetables to create a single concoction. Some of these fruit and vegetable juices may taste good, others not so much, but you are drinking these juices to save your life, not make your taste buds happy.
Moreover, a fiber rich diet may also help the body fight off the free radicals in its system, therefore you may want to consider taking a fiber supplement if you are a cancer patient. Also you need to stay away from sugar. This is one of the most acidic things you can put into your body and will increase any amount of pain you are having as a result of the cancer. Obviously, don't drink alcohol or smoke if you are a cancer patient.
Aside from giving a cancer patient the right nutrition, you also need to give a cancer patient plenty of liquids. A well hydrated body is better able to cope with the stress of being sick so make sure a patient drinks plenty of water. I would suggest a gallon of water a day (but not all at once) because it will help flush out your body and keep you as hydrated as you need to be.
If you have cancer and are sick and tired of being sick and tired from chemotherapy hopefully you can try some of the above recommendations to make your body alkaline and hopefully rid your body of the cancer. Just make sure that you do this with the supervision and guidance of some type of natural health doctor or expert.
And finally, think positively about beating cancer. The mind is a very powerful tool, but it can make you or break you. There are patients who claim to have gotten rid of cancer only from truly believing that they were going to get better and staying in a joyous, positive frame of mind.
Insurance For Cancer Patient
On January 18, 2004, Carol H was gearing up for a 40-mile ultra-marathon. Her boyfriend wanted her to wear a water pouch that straps on like a back pack. She felt the pack pinching and started to wrestle with it, only to find a lump in her upper right chest.
"It was really high near my shoulder, but I knew exactly what it was," Carol said.
Her mother died of breast cancer when Carol was 35. Eight months later, her father died of cancer. Carol knew all too well what cancer meant, but she wouldn't go there.
"I thought I might be in for a lot of suffering, I might be in for a lot of challenges, but I wasn't going to give in," Carol said.
And she hasn't. Despite five painful surgeries that have left her with limited mobility in her right arm and hand, Carol is determined to continue teaching, running, and fighting.
Part of that fight includes art.
While her two shelter dogs chase squirrels and birds around the many fruit trees that dot her property, Carol threads beads, small pieces of glass and a little metal angel into a bracelet.
"My mom collected angels and since she passed we've all worn angels every single day," Carol said.
Carol's mother is represented in other works of art. So is some of her anger, some of her fear, and some of her hope.
Her pieces include sculpture, watercolor and weaving. They are all the result of Carol's time with the Cancer Center's art therapy program.
"It's (art) relieved anxiety and hidden anger and hidden fears I didn't know I had," Carol said.
When she meets with her fellow cancer patients and she begins an art project she gets to escape her cancer, or gets to confront it head on.
"I had been focusing on everybody else and trying to be positive, so it was essential to my healing to get rid of these negative emotions," Carol said.
There are ways to fight cancer and they don't all involve poisonous chemotherapy and cancer-causing radiation. You have choices. Read this column to find more articles to bring you hope in these times of despair. You have options that don't have to compromise your way of living.
