Breast Cancer Cell Apoptosis…Nature’s Chemotherapy
In a study of over 10,000 patients, those who underwent chemotherapy were 14 times more likely to develop leukemia and 6 times more likely to develop cancers of the bones, joints, and soft tissue than those who did not undergo chemotherapy. (NCI Journal 87:10) John Diamond, MD.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month history: drug giant AstraZeneca (formerly Zeneca Group PLC) launched Breast Cancer Awareness Month in 1985. It wasn’t started just to raise awareness but also to get more people talking about breast cancer as part of a national dialogue. This dialogue has served as a catalyst for generating a lot of fear in women about the possibility of developing breast cancer, which is probably a big reason that so many were convinced to get regular mammograms. So how does a drug company like AstraZeneca benefit from starting a movement such as Breast Cancer Awareness Month and partnering with many of the nation’s leading cancer groups, such as American Cancer Society, and Susan G. Komen for the Cure to push for more cancer screenings? The answer may be found in knowing what 2 of their patented breast cancer blockbuster drugs are, Arimidex and Tamoxifen. These drugs are what tens of thousands of women are given after being diagnosed with breast cancer. So were they the wolf the FDA has been letting guard our henhouse?
Ionizing radiation of the breasts (mammograms) has been pushed for many years for both the young, middle age and elderly, now suddenly it appears that an attempt at a soft back down is happening by the same organizations that pushed massive usage of this cancer-causing form of diagnostics. They are now recommending using it at an older age but are still not mentioning thermography, (a diagnostic technology that can detect unusual breast cell activity long before mammography does without doing any harm to breast tissue).
There are many approaches to cancer, whether prevention, early detection and using external methods of reducing or extracting the cancer. But what if we could strengthen the body and its discovery mechanisms, which in turn can cause cancer cell apoptosis (cell suicide) selectively to the cancer cells?
Apoptosis: there are lots of natural chemicals in our foods that cause corrupted (cancerous) cells to die. These natural foods also help regular cells become stronger and healthier. When we strengthen from within the stem cells, the cells they produce become stronger and better regulated. As the surrounding cells get healthier and stronger, so does the body’s capability to dispose of the cancerous cells and new healthy tissue can grow there instead!
In researching the best foods, seeds, teas, etc. for boosting the body’s natural capability of apoptosis of cancer cells and this is what I found.
Fruits: wild blackberry, strawberry, choke cherry, elderberry, avocado, black raspberry, jamun berry (Indian blackberry).
Seeds: apricot seed, peach seed, apple seed, cherry seed, nectarine seed, pear seed, plum seed, prune seed. These seem to be some of the biggest cancer fighters.
Nuts: bitter almond, macadamia.
Leaves: alfalfa, eucalyptus.
Herbs: marijuana (especially the tetrahydrocannabinol or THC).
Teas: Essiac tea, green tea, pine.
Note: please research Essiac Tea for many of the various cancers. This website is the one I have found that is supposedly a close match to the original formula, and is the one I personally use: GenuineEssiac.com
Roots: garlic and ginger. Ginger has been shown to selectively kill breast cancer cells. PMID: 22969274
Miscellaneous: baking soda, turmeric, vitamin D, dark chocolate, and kale.
We tend to avoid bitter tasting foods, seeds, grasses, teas etc. but I believe this is a good indicator of its effectiveness and medicinal capabilities. I also believe we should go primarily for foods, herbs, teas, spices etc. that are grown in our home area.
One of the best ways to put on a protective breast guard that will help protect against breast cancer is healthy, consistent lifestyle habits. Doing this, not only can protect us from cancer, but it can also shrink and eliminate the cancer. When we adapt healthy habits, our immune system and health can start immediately improving instead of getting slammed as most conventional (for profit) cancer treatment protocols do!
Thanks for reading articles this month from someone that that does not have female breasts, the research was a real learning curve, but also one with many health parallels that applies to both women and men in helping our bodies in their fight against cancer!
