HERBS TO OVERCOME CANCER & DEGENERATIVE DISEASE

The natural healing world has concentrated intensely on cancer and degenerative diseases such as M.S., muscular dystrophy, and lupus in the past few years, and has learned much about how to deal with these often unnecessary killers. Even though today’s statistics show that 30% of all Americans will contract some kind of cancer in their lives, new evidence is indicating that 90% of all cancer, and most degenerative disease, is environmentally caused and therefore preventable.

These diseases are opportunistic, attacking when immune defenses and bloodstream health are low or toxic. Most are caused or aggravated by poor nutrition. Accumulated nutrient deficiencies develop over a long period of time – too many refined foods, fats and red meats; too little fiber, fresh foods, and food-source vitamins and minerals. These deficiencies eventually change body chemistry. The immune system cannot defend properly when biochemistry is altered. It can’t tell its own cells from invading toxic cells, and sometimes attacks everything, or nothing, in confusion. Many cancers respond well to nutritional improvement.

Degenerative diseases seem to make the body crave deficient de-mineralized foods; starving them out feels like any drug withdrawal. The fight against this isn’t easy, but as healthy cells rebuild, the cravings subside. They also seem to live and grow in the unreleased waste and mucous in the body. Avoid red meats, pork, fried foods, sugars, caffeine and preserved or colored foods of all kinds, and foods sprayed with heavy pesticides. They deprive the body of oxygen use, and provide little to no usable nutrition for building healthy cells and tissue. These foods clog the system, and vital organs cannot cleanse enough of the waste to maintain health. Also avoid continuous use of antacids! They interfere with enzyme production, and the body’s ability to carry off heavy metal toxicity.

LOVE YOUR LIVER! It is the main organ to keep clean and working well. The liver is a powerful chemical plant in the body that can keep the immune system going, healthy red blood cells forming, and oxygen in the bloodstream and tissues.

A viable answer to these conditions seems to lie in promoting and environment where cancer and degenerative disease can’t live; and where inherent immunity can remain effective. These diseases do not seem to grow or take hold where oxygen and minerals (particularly potassium) are high in vital body fluids. Vegetable proteins and amino acids in the body allow maximum use and assimilation of body oxygen and minerals. Regular exercise is almost a “cancer defense” in itself, as it also enhances oxygen use, and accelerates passage of material through the colon.

Herbs are very effective against cancer and degenerative disease, both as part of a healing and control program, and as a preventive against recurrence.

It is vitally important to follow a concentrated program when addressing these diseases, incorporating several aspects of natural healing diet, exercise, enemas, vitamin therapy and herbs all need to be coordinated for there to be remission. A concerted effort is necessary for at least six months to a year. Don’t become discouraged, no matter how many times you must return to the beginning juice and raw foods diets. Many people have beaten these “incurable” problems. Success is very possible.

Combinations in this section to overcome cancer and control degenerative disease are also effective in the following conditions:
MANY TYPES OF SYSTEMIC CANCERS ~ MELANOMA ~ LEUKEMIA ~ MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS ~ MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY ~ CEREBRAL PALSY ~ PERNICIOUS ANEMIA ~ PARKINSON’S DISEASE ~ LUPUS ~ NEUROLOGICAL LYME DISEASE ~ MALIGNANT TUMORS


Areas for formulation should include:
1) Detoxifying herbs for elimination support and cleansing acceleration
2) Liver cleansing and stimulating herbs to stabilize blood composition and deter cancer cell proliferation
3) Herbs to help rebuild healthy new blood and replace diseased tissue


Degenerative disease is often created or allowed by the accumulation and saturation of toxic matter in the body, throwing defense mechanisms and vitality out of balance. Liquid fasting for detoxification is a well-documented therapeutic method that works particularly will in reversing disease of this kind. The success of this technique acknowledges the intelligence of the human body as a self-healing entity. An elimination fast, especially with alkalizing juices and herbs allows the body in its wisdom to decompose substances and tissue that are damaged, diseased or unneeded, such as abscesses, tumors, and congestive waste, etc. Fasting also seems to release immune-stimulating hormone secretions which augment the infection and disease-fighting process.

Immune System Strength & Support

Immune System Strength & Support

The Immune system is the most complex and delicately balanced infrastructure of the body. An immune support formula must necessarily be quite intricate and diverse to effectively address its requirements. Only recently, because of the great and devastating rise in opportunistic disease in the world today, has mankind begun to focus attention on understanding its nature and comprehensive dynamics. It is an individual defense system, that can come charging to the rescue at the first sign of an alien force, such as harmful viral or bacterial invasion. It is also an autonomic, subconscious system that can fend off and/or neutralize disease toxins and allow the body to heal itself. But modern lifestyles in general, debilitate immunity. Stress and tension greatly deplete its strength. An overload of chemical antibiotics, vaccinations, immunizations, cortico-steroid drugs, and antacids can affect its balance to the point where it cannot distinguish harmful cells from healthy cells, and attacks everything (as in AIDS cases today). Most of the time, the immune system functions at its best when we can limit over-kill from drugs, and chemical anti-biotics, and just “get out of the way” by keeping the body clean, well-nourished with a natural diet, and supported with herbal nutrients. Available immune energy is then directed toward rebuilding and maintaining strength instead of constantly conducting “search and destroy” defense.

In general, an immune-enhancement program should be directed toward giving the whole body very high quality nutrients at the first sign of infection or loss of health, and should be continued for several months to insure optimum stability and disease prevention.

A formulation for immune support will also be effective in the following circumstances and conditions:

VIRAL INFECTION ~ CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME & EBV ~ COLDS, FLU & PNEUMONIA ~ BACTERIAL INFECTION ~ ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTANTS & HEAVY METAL POISONING ~ STAPH & STREP INFECTION ~ LUPUS ~ CANDIDA ALBICANS ~ HERPES ~ MENINGITIS & RHEUMATIC FEVER ~ INTERNAL PARASITES & WORMS ~ MEASLES ~ MONONUCLEOSIS ~ TOXIC SHOCK SYNDROME ~ WARTS, TUMORS, ABSCESSES & CYSTS ~ HPV VIRUS, AIDS & ARC ~ EARLY AGING ~ STRESS & TENSION ~ PRESCRIPTION OR PLEASURE DRUG OVER-USE

Areas of emphasis to be considered for formulations should include:
1) herbs for blood purification and body chemistry change
2) herbs to detoxify and cleanse the liver, organs and endocrine system
3) herbs to strengthen and rebuild liver, organs and glandular balance
4) herbs to rebuild and maintain immune defenses

Herbs for Detoxification & Body Cleansing

Environmental toxins, secondary smoke inhalation, alcohol, prescription and pleasure drug abuse, "hidden" chemicals and pollutants in many food that cause allergies and addictions, caffeine overload, and increased daily stress are all becoming more and more a part of our lives. These things greatly deplete the body and immune system. Poor immunity eventually results in debilitating disease. This has become the prime factor in allowing today's "civilization" diseases, such and Candida Albicans, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Lupus, AIDS and ARC, HPV, etc to take hold.

In the past, detoxification was used either clinically, for recovering alcoholics and drug addicts, or individually, as a once-a-year mild "spring cleaning" for health maintenance. Today detoxification is becoming necessary not only to health, but for the quality of our lives, since we are surrounded by so much involuntary toxicity. Optimally, one should detoxify two or three times a year to prevent disease and encourage health; in the Spring, Summer or early Fall, when the body can get an extra boost in this effort from sunlight and natural Vitamin D.

A good cleansing program should be in three stages: CLEANSING, REBUILDING, MAINTAINING. Herbs in their abundance of diversity, and the specific nature of their activity are optimally suited to these tasks.

Formulas for detoxification and blood cleansing are also effective in the following circumstances and conditions:

ALCOHOL & DRUG ABUSE - NICOTINE ADDICTION & WITHDRAWAL - LIVER & SPLEEN DISEASE - BACTERIAL INFECTION - ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTANTS & HEAVY METAL POISONING - STAPH & STREP INFECTION - KIDNEY STONES & KIDNEY INFECTION - ECZEMA & PSORIASIS - HERPES - MENINGITIS & RHEUMATIC FEVER - HEPATITIS - ACNE & DERMATITIS - MONONUCLEOSIS - MALIGNANT TUMORS - WARTS, TUMORS, ABSCESSES & CYSTS - HPV VIRUS, AIDS & ARC - EPILEPSY - HYPOGLYCEMIA - INTERNAL PARASITES & WORMS

Areas of emphasis to be considered for formulation should include:
1) herbs for (a) blood purification, (b) mucous and (c) bowel cleansing;
2) herbs for rebuilding liver, organ and glandular health;
3) herbs for long term rebuilding and maintenance.
