Throughout our lives our bodies are being filled with a variety of disease and the most serious one is cancer causing pollutants. These toxins reach us through the air we breathe, the food we eat, the medicines we take and the water we drink. As more of these poisons are used every day and cancer rates continue to climb, detoxifying treatment like the Gerson Therapy is an option to maintain our healthy.

The Gerson Therapy known as natural treatment uses to rid the body of toxins and boosts our body’s immune system. It involves coffee enemas and a special diet with supplements claimed to cleanse the body and stimulate metabolism. There is no scientific evidence that Gerson therapy is effective natural cancer cure. Nevertheless there are thousands of people who have improved their health with it.

The Gerson therapy was named after a German doctor, Dr. Max B. Gerson, who first used it to treat his migraine headaches. In the 1930′s, Dr. Gerson’s therapy became known to the public as a treatment for a type of tuberculosis (TB). Dr.Gerson expanded his method to treat other conditions and managed to publish a preliminary report of his results in treating cancer in the Review of Gastroenterology in 1945.

Cancer patients who apply this therapy are required to drink large amount of juices and eat organic fruits and vegetables. Meals are vegetarian, and prepared with non-aluminum utensils and cookware. No salt or spices are allowed.

Basically, the Gerson therapy is based on the concept that cancer develops when there are changes in cell metabolism because of the buildup of toxic substances in the body. According to Dr. Gerson, the disease process makes more toxins and the liver becomes overworked. Cancer patients have too much salt in their bodies compared to the amount of potassium.

The aim of the Gerson therapy is to restore the body to health by repairing the liver and returning the metabolism to its normal state. This can be done by removing toxins from the body and building up the immune system with diet and supplements. This is the reason why supplements such as vitamins and hormones are given by pill form and by injection. Enemas are also given to remove toxins from the body.

As mentioned previously, there is no scientific evidence that Gerson therapy is effective natural cancer cure. There is no strong evidence to prove that making drastic changes to diet help to kill cancer cells. Furthermore, this type of alternative cancer treatment can be very demanding and many people find it difficult to finish the regimen. So the advice for cancer patient is talk with health care providers about an appropriate diet to follow.

There is a frequently asked question by patients who undergoing cancer treatment: How acupuncture can help me as cancer patient?

Many scientific studies have looked at the use of acupuncture. There is no evidence that acupuncture helps in cure for cancer. However, acupuncture has received many attentions as an adjunctive therapy in cancer treatments for its use in anesthesia, in post-operative pain control, and in aiding and hastening recovery from the chemotherapy side effects.

Acupuncture has been practiced in traditional Chinese medicine for over 5,000 years. It involves the insertion of very thin needles into specific points on the body. These points are located along invisible lines known as “meridians”.

Each of which meridian is believed to be linked to a different organ system. By stimulating these points, acupuncturists aim to unblock the flow of vital energy (called “qi”) through the meridians as blockages in this flow are thought to cause ill health.

The main areas of research into acupuncture for cancer are cancer-related pain and side effects cause by chemotherapy. In a 2003 study, researchers found that undergoing acupuncture helped reduce the intensity of cancer pain among 90 patients for whom pain-reducing medication was not sufficient.

Several types of clinical trials using different acupuncture methods showed acupuncture reduced nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy. In a report published in 2005, researchers reviewed 11 clinical trials and found that acupressure helped lessen the severity of post-chemotherapy nausea.

Clinical trials also showed that acupuncture improved cancer patients’ immune system response, including increasing the number of white blood cells. A strict clean needle method must be used when acupuncture treatment is given to patients who are undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy which weaken the body’s immune system.

The answer to the opening question “how acupuncture can help me as cancer patient?” is, acupuncture can be used to address many of the concerns that come up during and after chemotherapy and radiation. Unfortunately, it may cause local internal bleeding, nerve damage, or bruising around the punctured point.

Although it is very rarely acupuncture can have a serious side effect, it is strongest recommended to seek for your doctor’s advise before using acupuncture as an adjunctive therapy in cancer treatments.

Aloe Vera has been in use since ancient times for healing infections and burns due to its softening properties. Indigenous to West Africa, it is cultivated all over the world for its medicinal usefulness. Recently, research shows that Aloe Vera can also be used for cancer cure as alternative treatment.

Aloe Vera comes from an Arabic word ‘alloeh’, which means bitter. It is also known as the medicinal aloe, is a species of succulent plant that grows in arid climates. It is widely distributed in Africa and other arid areas.

As it is soothing herbal medicine, some cancer patients use Aloe Vera to heal and soothe the skin which have been burn caused by radiotherapy treatment. It also gives a soothing effect in the patients of skin cancer.

In addition to treatment of skin diseases, various research studies indicate that Aloe Vera is a general tonic for the immune system and useful to treat various diseases.

Researchers from Okinawa, Japan reported in the Japanese Journal of Cancer Research, that Aloe contained at least three anti-tumor agents, emodin, mannose, and lectin. Lectins and emodines are acts as tumor resistant chemicals which make Aloe Vera able to slow down the growth of cancerous tumors.

The researchers concluded that Aloe controls pulmonary carcinogenesis and is effective in the treatment of sarcoma and that it would prevent the development of tumors.

Aloe vera is a great detoxifier. It has been demonstrated to enhance the immune system’s response to cancer, promote the growth of new and healthy cells, and reduce the overall viral load within the body thereby revitalizing the body for cancer cure.

When radiation and chemotherapy are used, Aloe Vera helps to minimize the damage done to the body by these treatments, which destroy healthy cells – particularly immune system cells – crucial to the body’s recovery.

Aloe Vera is not always used in its direct form. For the purpose of healing, it’s used both internally and externally. Therefore, various forms available in the market, such as Aloe Vera gel, capsules, creams and drinks.

Aloe Vera cancer cure, though clinically tested, has a drawback that not all people can withstand its chemicals. There are reports of quite serious side effects. Taken internally it has been shown to cause stomach pain, diarrhoea, nausea, blood clotting and thyroid problems. Thus always check with your doctor before you start using Aloe Vera as alternative cancer treatment.
