Cancer and the Immune System, What's the Link?

Posted: Jul 06, 2009 |Comments: 0 |

 

Have you ever wondered why the immune system is so important to a person newly diagnosed with cancer? An undisputed fact is all cancers are caused because it's been weakened and has allowed cancer cells to grow out of control, but unfortunately your doctor won't tell you this.

Our immune system is our built in repair system that we were born with and is with us throughout life.  It is there to protect us from bacteria, viruses and other foreign invaders including cancer and even when we have those common medical problems like cuts, bruises or a broken bone it will heal those too. Human beings can not survive without a healthy immune system.

The immune system is a complicated and poorly understood defence mechanism. What we do know is it can naturally remove cancer unless it's been weakened by our modern way of living today with our unsuitable food, the toxic chemicals we surround ourselves with and our lack of exercise. If the body is well nourished it can and will attack cancer cells. The immune system is more complex than our circulatory system which is our heart and blood vessels.

 Proof of the importance of the immune system, a person with AIDS which is a virus that destroys the immune system and has no known cure will usually die of a disease that it would normally control. Two of the most common problems AIDS patients die of are pneumonia or a rare type of cancer called Kaposi's sarcoma.

As we age it naturally weakens and this is why cancer is prevalent in people around middle age. Pregnant women also have a naturally suppressed immune system because of their pregnancy and many women have been diagnosed with cancer soon after the birth of a child.

The human body is a miraculous living item and even as medical science slowly learn more about it they will never fully understand its inner workings completely because of its complexities. So with that in mind, doesn't it make sense to use the healing powers of the human body that we all have and allow the body to remove the cancer, which it will do. When someone is diagnosed with cancer they are already undergoing a major health challenge and what they need is gentle therapies, not treatments that suppress the natural healing ability of the body.

It's a pity there wasn't a pill to strengthen our immune system but unfortunately there isn't, there are only natural ways to do that and they are very easy to carry out. Foods that support it are freshly grown produce that hasn't been processed or interfered with by man. Some examples of super foods are garlic, onions and broccoli. Foods that depress it are refined sugar, too much fat in the diet and junk food. Other ways to boost the immune system are a little exercise everyday and rest.

A true cure for cancer will only be achieved when a patient stimulates their own bodies defence system and the only way to do that is live as Mother Nature intended us to live. The most efficient healer the human body has is a correctly functioning natural immune system.

    Zeolites are microporous, aluminosilicate minerals commonly used as commercial adsorbents.The term zeolite was originally coined in 1756 by Swedish mineralogist Axel Fredrik Cronstedt, who observed that upon rapidly heating the material stilbite, it produced large amounts of steam from water that had been adsorbed by the material. Based on this, he called the material zeolite, from the Greek (zéÅ), meaning "to boil" and (líthos), meaning "stone".

    Probably the most typical treatment for colon cancer is surgical treatment and also the adjacent lymph nodes, the tumor, a little margin with the surrounding wholesome bowel, are eliminated within the surgical treatment. The long-term prognosis relies on whether or not the cancer has spread to other organs.

    Cancer is the second leading cause of death among Americans, yet many people are unaware of the cause of this devastating disease, and that they can control the risk factors which lead to cancer initiation and development. Cancer is a disease caused largely by poor lifestyle choices and external factors. While genetics can play a role by influencing a predisposition toward cancer, disease prevention is within our control.

    Most people are ignorant why there is so much cancer now and because of our ignorance we have to rely on our health care providers, which are our doctors for information so we can make decisions on our treatment options. Unfortunately many of the facts about cancer and its treatments in use today are not true and that's why so many people are not surviving.

    Conventional treatments for cancer which focus on removing the symptoms instead of the underlying cause of the disease, is doomed to failure in most cases because the growth that has suddenly appeared is not the problem. A cancer growth anywhere in the body is just a sign that something is wrong and until that something is addressed, the problem is likely to resurface again. Healing the body of cancer means treating the whole body, not just the symptoms.

    Cancer is a wake up call; it's your body telling you that you've done something wrong so your focus has to be to correct the reasons which caused it to appear. We have been brainwashed today into believing that cancer has appeared because of chance or bad luck and must be removed quickly or it will spread. That is not true. What the body needs is to address the reasons why it grew in the first place and that can only be achieved naturally.

    It has long been known that all cancers are related to the food we choose to eat and the food we don't eat. Cancer is a disease in which lifestyle factors; especially nutrition plays a crucial role. Modern science has not solved the problem because they don't address the nutritional requirements that are necessary to permanently remove the growths. Wrong nutrition will cause cancer but the right nutrition will cure it.

    Many people still assume that the only options for treating cancer are the mainstream therapies of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy but nothing could be further from the truth. It is well known that the side effects of these treatments, which suppress the immune system, actually worsens the condition and will cause cancer cells to continue to grow. There are many other effective ways to treat the disease which are available for anyone who can make a few simple changes to the way they live.
