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

 

 

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.
