Cancer Factsheet

Cancer Factsheet

This factsheet contains information on our approach to cancer support.

One in three people will develop cancer during their lifetime, and this number is likely to increase to one in two in the near future.

There are a number of important elements that should be considered when dealing with cancer:

Strengthen resistance and enhance vitality
Boost the immune system
Remove blood / lymphatic / energy stagnation, or cleansing the system
Detoxification
Anti-inflammatory therapy
Anti-oxidant nutrients
Liver support / detoxification
Reduce stress / support nervous system
Specific organ support for the site of the cancer

Various approaches are helpful in achieving the above.

Diet and Nutrition

Dietary approaches include the following:

Dietary Changes

Many approaches to cancer agree on certain fundamental dietary changes, and these include:

the use of wholesome, nutritious, organic food generally, with the main emphasis on vegetables and fruit.
the avoidance generally of meat, especially pork
the avoidance generally of additives, including flavourings and colourings and E-numbers
the avoidance of alcohol, and sometimes vinegar
the avoidance of sugar, particularly refined sugar
limiting salt intake
limiting dairy intake

Other approaches that should be considered:

juicing - with vegetables in addition to fruit.
eat a little raw vegetables every day
water - at least 2 - 3 litres daily - filtered tap water ideally

Nutritional supplements

The following supplements are considered essential:

vitamin C - high dose - at least 2 - 3g daily, and preferably more
vitamin E - high dose - at least 1000IU daily

These are the main anti-oxidant vitamins, and should be combined with Selenium (200mcg). Selenium is recommended as an ionic preparation.

The following supplements are highly recommended:

Green Barley powder - use to make into a drink - tastes like grass, but is excellent as a detoxifier, contains many important nutrients and enzymes, and chlorophyll, which has been shown to have some anti-cancer effects.
Better Balance - a balanced blend of important essential fatty acids, Omega-3 and Omega-6.

Other supplements should be considered:

Cantamil 2001 - strong multi-vitamin and mineral
Ener-B - strong B vitamin complex, with Co-enzyme Q10, helps to build up energy in the cells

Herbal Medicines

Many individual herbs and herbal formulations have traditional use, or anecdotal evidence supporting their usefulness in cancer.

The following herbal medicines are considered essential:

J-CC - a specialised herbal preparation by Better Health to encompass a wide variety of support for the individual, including enhancing vitality, boost immune system, cleanse blood and lymph, detoxify, reduce inflammation, anti-oxidant properties, liver detoxification, and support nervous system to relieve stress. To be used in conjunction with:
J-COS - organ support, according to the site of the cancer

Other herbal preparations to be considered:

Essiac - a remedy discovered by a nurse known as Rene Caisse. (Essiac is her surname spelt backwards.) This has traditional use in many cancers, particularly those involving the digestive system, such as stomach, oesophagus, intestine.
Jones Life Drops - a formulation used by Eli Jones, an eminent herbalist in America. It appears to be particularly useful in cancerous lumps or bumps, including lymph glands. We have had personal success in using this herbal formulation in a number of patients with lymph enlargement in cancer.

Therapies that may be helpful

A number of therapies can be helpful in supporting the individual at a very difficult and emotional time.

Those that may be particularly helpful include:

Acupuncture
Aromatherapy / Massage
Counselling
Healing
Hypnotherapy
Reflexology

Hypnotherapy, particularly if used in conjunction with positive visualisation, can be particularly useful.

The following therapies have particular use in cancer support and should seriously be considered:

Colonic Hydrotherapy - helps in removing toxins from the system, encourages elimination through the intestines, supports the lymphatic system and liver.
Coffee Enemas - has particular relevance for the liver and the removal of toxins. It should be avoided in certain types of liver or pancreatic tumours.

Other therapies

A number of alternative therapies or products should also be considered.

The following are considered essential in many patients:

Shark Cartilage - this has important benefits for many types of cancer, and would be advised in most cancers.
Melatonin - this has important benefits for those embarking upon chemo or radiotherapy, in addition to being useful in itself.
Hoxsey Therapy - this is an approach based upon a formulation including a number of herbs in addition to a certain nutritional element. It has shown particularly usefulness in cancers such as melanoma, breast, and many others.
Laetrile / Vitamin B17 therapy – this is a nutritional approach which is initially undertaken by the administration of injections of Laetrile, following a tried and tested protocol. There is strong anecdotal evidence supporting its usefulness, and we have personally seen some success with its use over the years.

Practical support and information

With our experience in dealing with cancer and cancer patients, we have a wealth of knowledge and understanding, not only regarding our own Complementary and Alternative Medical approach, but in understanding the conventional approach.

We can offer support with, and help you understand any conventional treatment you are receiving, and are available at the end of the telephone if you need us.

A note about Conventional treatments

Conventional cancer treatment has advanced considerably over the years.

However, most treatments remain toxic and dangerous, and take their toll on the individual, and often cause many side-effects.

We can help support the individual as they receive conventional treatments, often helping patients recover quickly between courses of treatment, reducing the negative impact of the treatment upon the immune system and the body in general. It may be possible to avoid some of the adverse effects completely.

All our treatments will work alongside chemo or radiotherapy, and any individual treatment you receive will be taken into consideration when building an individual treatment programme.

What next?

The approaches discussed above are general and not specific to any individual.

Following a FREE INITIAL CONSULTATION we will be able to recommend an individual programme specific for your needs.

This will undoubtedly include a number of investigations or tests, and the ones usually recommended are either the Full Body Screening test or the Organix test.

There is no obligation for you to have either, but will help individualise your treatment programme and prioritise any approaches we recommend.
