How Can I Make Myself Well?

Good Question!

This is the information age you can learn a lot online. Study your illness, the treatments the survival rates with and without treatment.  What are the possible side effects?  Is there a Cure? 

Choose treatments that are the most successful and the least harmful. Some treatments are worse than the illness!  Will the increased survival time be enjoyed if you are sick from the treatment?

Start with non-invasive natural treatments before switching to the “big guns.”  Many people with serious health conditions have been cured with alternative methods!  If they don’t cure you at least they haven't ruined your quality of life. 

Safe and Natural Treatments

Detoxify

Toxins are in every thing we eat, drink, breathe, and use.  Chemicals are in everything and many are toxic.  Crops are fertilized, and sprayed with chemicals.  Animals are given medicines and hormones; our water is treated with chlorine and fluoride.  Soda is made of chemicals and diet soda has aspartame, a deadly toxin.  Air pollution is full of toxic chemicals from all over the world.  It lands in the oceans and streams contaminating the seafood.  Cleaners, and hygiene products are made up of chemicals many of which can harm us.

Cut out chemicals by using steam cleaners, finding chemical free cleaners, eating organic foods, using crystal deodorants instead of aluminum based antiperspirants, and using mineral makeup.

Find a detox product that can pull toxins out of your body.  I use NCD a liquid zeolite mineral that naturally pulls out harmful heavy metals and toxins.  It also helps restore an optimal pH level.  All illness thrives in acidic environments.  It has helped my stepfather with neuralgia (pain and numbness) caused from chemotherapy.  Find out more about liquid zeolite at: www.liquidzeolite.org.  There are many testimonials of people with all types of health problems improved by detoxification. You can purchase liquid zeolite at: www.detoxnurse.com

Alkalizing for Health

Most of us eat processed and fast foods and Junk food daily.  All of these foods produce acid.  That is why many people have acid reflux problems.  All illnesses thrive in acidic environments.

If you are sick it is very important to avoid processed foods, fast food, and junk food especially Colas, Beer and Coffee (which are very acidic and easily enter the blood stream).

Minerals such as Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, and Sodium are alkalizing and very good things to take to fight illness. (Table salt has been striped of minerals and is not good for you I suggest looking for Sea Salt or REAL SALT.)

For more information on alkalizing you can check out the food charts available online at: http://www.essence-oflife.com/moreinfo/foodcharts.htm

General Diet

Restrict Carbohydrates

Braking down sugar produces lactic acid.  This gives illnesses the environment they need to thrive. History shows that Cancer increased dramatically after sugar became popular.  Studies have shown that the more carbohydrates you eat the higher risk of cancer you have.  Cancer cells use 8 times as much glucose as normal cells to divide and grow.  Higher glucose levels contribute to many health conditions such as diabetes and hardening of the arteries.  Plaque forms as a protective barrier to all of the acid in the body.

Cut Trans Fats 

Reducing the amount of trans fats and partially hydrogenated oils in your diet can help prevent cancer.  These oils invade cell walls and destroy the electrical charge of the cell.  Without the charge, our cells have difficulty oxygenating.  Without oxygen healthy cells become cancer cells.  Trans fats also harden the cell wall and make it difficult for insulin to enter leading to type II Diabetes.  Cutting out all trans fats is difficult.  Eliminating margarine, shortening and peanut butter is a MUST!  Butter is natural, tastes better, and is not harmful.

Avoid MSG

MSG is a flavor additive.  It is in many processed foods and can be called many things like natural flavors etc.  It is an excitotoxin. Research shows that MSG causes food addiction and weight gain, migraines, throat swelling, diarrhea, vomiting, irregular heartbeats, and even cancer.  Think of it as cancer fertilizer!

Avoid Aspartame

Aspartame is another excitotoxin that kills normal cells and has been linked to numerous health problems such as migraines, brain tumors, MS, leukemia etc.  It makes us crave carbohydrates and gain weight.

Avoid all Unhealthy Substances

Alcohol, drugs, tobacco, coffee, and tea are unhealthy substances that only add a greater burden on unhealthy bodies.

Load up on Living Foods

Many fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices are cancer fighters.  Four “magic fruits” Acai, Goji, Noni, and Mangostein; credited with many health cures are all great antioxidants and cancer fighters.  Raspberries, Blackberries, blueberries, strawberries are antioxidants and cancer fighters as well.  Oranges, lemons, and limes may be particularly helpful in fighting lung cancer and colon cancer.  Lycopene in tomatoes, apricots, pink grapefruit and watermelon reduces DNA damage in white blood cells. Mushroom polysaccharides in shitake, maitake, and reishi fight tumor formation and kill cancer cells.  Dark green vegetables all fight cancer.  Garlic and onions have many health benefits.  Green Tea is an antioxidant.  Tumeric, cocoa, ginger, and capsaicin spices all have cancer-fighting properties.  “An apple a day keeps the doctor away,” and also kills cancer cells.

Some diets cure cancer!  You can find them at: www.cancertutor.com

Toxic Water

Chemicals such as chlorine and fluoride in our water cause most of our illnesses!  Chlorine kills our digestive bacteria leading to poor food absorption, diabetes, and colon cancer.  It is also corrosive which leads to high plaque buildup.  Fluoride interferes with our immune system causing autoimmune disorders, lowers thyroid function, increases tumor growth, and interferes with brain and nervous system function.  Our skin absorbs even more chemicals than we drink and the fumes from hot showers are also toxic.  Other countries use ozone to treat water not chemicals!  For you health use filters and bottled waters.  I recommend the water for life products advertised below. 

Eat Healthy

Your body and cells need nutrients to function properly.  If you are trying to get well you need to feed your cells vitamins and minerals and clean water.  These are building blocks for your immune system.

Fruits and vegetables are the best sources of vitamins and minerals.  Make sure you wash the pesticides off.  Fish has vitamins and healthy omega 3, but can also have toxic mercury.  These should be the main partof your diet.

Vitamin D

One study found that taking 1100 IU of vitamin D with 1500mg of Calcium reduced cancer rates from 60-77%.  Calcium increases vitamin D absorption.  Darker skinned people don’t produce Vitamin D as well, which could account for their higher cancer mortality rates.  Nutrition experts recommend Vitamin D3 supplements during winter and year around for darker skinned people.  Oily fish is a good source of Vitamin D.

Lab studies showed that Vitamin D inhibits abnormal cell growth, promotes normal cell death, and reduces formation of tumor blood vessels. MS is more prevalent in northern countries farther away from the sun.  Possibly related to lack of vitamin D.

20-30 minutes of sunlight exposure (without sunscreen and glasses) can produce up to 20,000 IU of vitamin D3 in our bodies.  Avoid burning.  Vitamin D is cheap and sunlight is Free!

Antioxidants

Many studies have shown that antioxidants fight infection and boost the immune system.  They are very important in prevention and treatment of major illnesses such as HIV/AIDS, Cancer, and Atherosclerosis. The main antioxidants are vitamins A, C, E, Selenium, Copper and Zinc.  The best source of antioxidants is in healthy fruits and vegetables.  Making sure you get all you need in your diet (if it were possible) would be a full time job.  Therefore I encourage healthy eating and supplementation.

(1000 mg of Vitamin C taken with the liquid zeolite increases the detoxification processes by helping to pull toxins out of the bones.)

Vitamin Supplementation

Supplementation is very important as our diets are not providing the essential nutrients to keep us healthy.  The RDA levels were developed from the minimum amount needed to prevent illness.  They are not high enough to keep our bodies at optimum performance let alone improve our health.  I like Waiora’s liquid supplement Essential Daily Nutrients as it is natural food based and easily absorbed in the liquid form.  You can learn more about EDN at: www.high5info.com, and purchase it at: www.detoxnurse.com

Healing Water

Pure water can cure many ailments.  In Asia ionized water is used in hospitals to heal wounds that otherwise would need amputation, and improve diabetes and other illnesses.  Ionized water separates acid from alkaline, which provides more oxygen.  You can learn more about the power of ionized water from clicking the water for life advertisement below.  Dr. Batmanghelidj spent most of his career studying water.  He learned that many conditions develop from chronic dehydration.  Fortunately they can also be improved by drinking lots of clean pure water, and adding some sea salt into your diet.  His many books and lots of information is available at: http://2659432965.monstercommercesites.com/AffiliateWiz/aw.aspx?A=136&Task=Click  

Increase Oxygenation

Most of our cells require oxygen to live and grow.  Cancer cells are anaerobic, they use sugar in a fermentation process. Several Doctors who won Nobel prizes for cancer research Proved that Cancer is caused by cells lack of oxygen and trans fats inhibit cellular respiration

Dr Johanna Budwig developed a diet of flax seed oil and cottage cheese that increases the oxygenation in our bodies and cures cancer!  You can learn more about it at: www.cancertutor.com.

Omegasentials is a powdered substance of stable flax seed oil, proteins, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals you can add it to foods and juices. It is available at: http://www.mnwp.org/omega/

Some things you can do to increase the oxygen in your blood and help the cancer fighting cells include: breathe fresh clean air, increase antioxidants with juices fruits and vegetables, aerobic exercise, humming daily (it helps expel more carbon dioxide and increases nitrous oxide), using Milk of Magnesia it brakes down to magnesium and oxygen, adding a pint to a quart of hydrogen peroxide to your (chlorine free) bath water.  Skin can absorb chemicals and nutrients!

Magnetic Therapy

Most people may be skeptic of magnet therapy, but magnets can align ions.  They increase the oxygen and alkalinity in living organisms.  This can change the quality and taste of water and wine and improve our bodies.  Healthy oxygenated cells can repair themselves.  Magnets have been used to relieve pain, remove plaque and other things.  Products, information and testimonials are available at: http://www.yourcart.com/app/?af=781347.   

Therapeutic Oils

Essential oils have been used for healing since bible times.  Many skin problems caused by viruses, bacteria, or parasites, and other conditions, such as migraines and arthritis, can be treated with safe natural oils. The best part is there are no side effects and rarely if any known allergies to essential oils.  I highly recommend checking out the website advertised below they have a 60 day money back guarantee, and many testimonials.

Heat Therapy

Cancer cells are weakened and die at high temperatures around 104-105 degrees Fahrenheit.  Those not killed become more susceptible to other treatments.  This is also another way of detoxification as you sweat toxins out your pores. 

Ways you can increase your temperature include Sauna's, Hot tubs (although the chemicals in hot tubs are not good), whirlpool baths, electric blankets, hot water bottles increasing spicy foods.  Try targeting a tumor with infrared heat.

Capsaicin, found in hot chili peppers, is useful for diabetes, and kills cancer cells.  You can learn more about heat therapy or Hyperthermia treatments at: www.curezone.com  

Caution: People in weakened conditions should have supervision.

Rife Therapy

Royal Rife discovered that every simple organism could be killed by a certain radio frequency.  Just as the wine glass shatters when an opera singer holds a certain note.  He was praised for his cancer cure until the FDA and the AMA realized he could hurt their profits, and had him put in jail.

I bought a Rife machine over 3 years ago and it has helped keep my stepfather off chemotherapy ever since.  We have also used it to treat arthritis, bursitis, back pain, headaches, asthma, colds, flu, and sinusitis. You can learn more and purchase a Rife machine from the ad below.

Decrease Stress

Most people have very stressful lifestyles.  People think they have to work 2 jobs to afford the best things and keep up their lifestyle.  My question: Is all of this fast paced life worth sacrificing your health?

Maybe being poor and enjoying books and videos from the public library instead of the DVD on your new flat screen HDTV with surround sound is what you need.

I am not suggesting everyone quit his or her jobs and downsize.  Just learn their stress limits, and spend time distressing. People distress by serving others, traveling, exercise, massage, reading, praying, chanting, etc.  Find something you enjoy and do it! 

EFT

EFT is a self-help technique you can use to overcome most any emotional or physical problem.  It incorporates affirmations and acupressure to retrain your mind.  I it used to help me stick to my diet, and relieve back pain.  Testimonials and free instructions are available at www.emofree.com, or you can watch the video below to learn the basics.

Have Faith

We have all heard that the best athletes visualize winning.  In some cancer centers kids are taught to visualize pac man gobbling up their cancer cells.  If you are religious you can visualize God curing your cancer while you pray.  I have heard that people of faith are healthier.  "Whether you think you can or you think you can't your right."  Believe you can beat cancer and you can!

Humor is the Best Medicine

Scientific Proof

One psychiatric study found that people with kidney failure with the best sense of humor had a survival rate 31% higher than those who didn't.

Make sure you do things that make you laugh every day.  Spend time with happy people who make you laugh.  Go to comedies, and rent your favorite comedian’s videos.  Subscribe to joke of the day email.  Find ways to increase the laughter in your life.
