It’s October and you know what that means. You will see tons of pink everything, from soccer balls to necklaces, along with those every present fundraisers, to help us recognize the ever increasing problem of breast cancer in America. Plastic coated cards are passed out for a donation that explains how to examine yourself in the shower because, as they will tell you over and over, knowing the early signs is your best chance for survival.
Well, that’s not entirely true. This reactive approach misses the best advice anyone can offer and that is, if you truly want to avoid cancer (and who doesn’t?) then prevention is your best chance for survival, isn’t it?
Nearly two million Americans every year will be diagnosed with cancer. One in three people will have a cancer diagnosis at some point in their lives. And despite the countless hours of research and the billions of dollars spent looking for a cure, Western medicine is no closer to finding a cure, let alone a preventative. Why? Because cancer is a dream come true for Big Pharmacy and the medical profession. Cancer is big business, friends.
Think about it. Anytime you hear of anyone using some natural means to cure their cancer, Western medicine is quick to point fingers and yell “Quack!” Instead of quack, try substituting that word with “competition”, because that’s more truthful.
Currently, it’s illegal for any product, food, herb, or essential oil to say that it “cures” anything but medications are frequently advertised on television, freely stating that they “cure” all kinds of diseases or health problems, even though they might have life threatening side effects!
Mother Nature has put a cure for everything on this planet. Humans have either forgotten which plants cure certain things or the information has been suppressed by modern medicine. The medical and pharmaceutical companies will never get rich selling you herbs or pushing a healthy diet on you, so you will never hear them speak of these things. There is simply no money in it!
Imagine what would happen if a “cure” was suddenly found? For Big Pharm, it would be like shooting the goose that lays the golden eggs!
The prevention of cancer is the best tool you will ever have and there are so many simple things you can do to accomplish exactly that. When you have a strong, healthy immune system, there is nothing that can touch you for long, and that includes cancer. You can keep a strong, healthy immunes system with these four easy and completely natural methods. Don’t wait until you have cancer to start this lifestyle change, take preventative measures today!
1. Avoid Toxins
First, stop putting cancer causing toxins in your body. This means staying away from chemical cleaning products for your house, toxic beauty and personal care items, polluted water, metal dental fillings, unhealthy junk food, artificial anything, unnecessary medications, industrial machinery and their byproducts, and garden chemicals. Don’t smoke, don’t drink to excess, and eat only healthy food from Mother Nature. Avoid highly processed vegetable oils, GMO foods, and sugar.
Every day we expose ourselves to multiple layers of chemicals and toxins that accumulate in our bodies to the point that our immune system becomes overloaded and severely distressed. Soon, our cells become damaged, then they mutate, and that’s when cancer sets in. Don’t touch cancer causing poisons, don’t eat cancer causing foods, and don’t drink cancer causing liquids.

2. Reduce or Manage Stress
It’s a well-known fact that stress subdues the immune system. When your immune system is continually compromised due to ongoing stress, it paves the way for cancer to take hold. You will find many doctors now start treating your stress and emotional health with the same concern as the cancer itself.
One psychiatrist at Stanford University showed that women who suffered from breast cancer but participated in weekly support groups lived twice as long as those who did not. This clearly shows just how important interpersonal relationships are to our overall health. If deeper relationships can help cancer survivors live twice as long then perhaps having meaningful relationships can help you prevent cancer altogether.
Also be sure you get plenty of sleep. Your body repairs itself and normalizes your hormones while you are sleeping. A lack of sleep screws with hormones, which can cause certain types of cancers, especially breast cancer. Don’t let stress interfere with your sleep. Read more about dangers of sleep deprivation.
It’s almost impossible to avoid all stress in life, but you can learn to manage your stress and remove yourself from extremely stressful situations. Try using exercise or fun ways (such as swimming or bike riding with your kids) to release stress from your body. Give yoga and/or meditation a try. Avoid toxic people who make you feel stressed and angry.
Any exercise program is better than no program at all. Even if it’s just walking the dog twice a day for 20 minutes at a time, it beats sitting on the sofa channel surfing!

3. Reduce Your Exposure to EMF’s
There have been many studies done, including one conducted by the World Health Organization and the EPA ( Environmental Protection Agency) that clearly show that EMF’s should be classified as a Class B carcinogen and they suggest that people reduce their exposures.
Like stress, today’s modern world makes it impossible to avoid all EMF’s, but you can reduce your overall exposure. Avoid living near electrical generating stations and power lines. Limit your time with computers, cell phones, microwave ovens, and televisions. Avoid electric heating pads, electric blankets, or electric beds that change position.

If you find you can’t avoid things such as generating stations, consider grounding technology that will help to offset these harmful effects. Himalayan crystal salt lamps are a good example of this.

4. Nutrition
Last, but by no means least, is nutrition. With approximately 60 percent of all cancers being related to dietary issues, nutrition might just be the most important factor in any cancer fighting program. You should eat a mainly organic, locally grown diet that consists mainly of nutrient dense foods (such as vegetables), nuts and seeds, gluten free gains, and some fruits. Animal products should be limited. Cured or processed meats, and charred (sometimes referred to as blackened) meats avoided as much as possible, especially for women. Avoid anything artificial or foods that contain artificial ingredients or excessive sugar and salts.
Keep your diet focused on the following:
- Vitamin E ( almonds, eggs, avocados, liver, dark green veggies)
- Beta Carotene ( sweet potatoes, spinach, carrots, green leafy veggies)
- Vitamin C (guavas, peppers, kale, camu camu, citrus fruits)
- Vitamin D (fermented cod liver oil, natural sunlight)
- Vitamin B6 ( carrots, apples, sweet potatoes, organ meats, bananas)
- Zinc ( nuts and seeds, fish, rice cacao, avocados, dark leafy greens)
- Folic Acid ( cabbage, eggs, citrus fruits, beets, dark leafy greens)
- Coenzyme Q10 (grapeseed oil, fish, sesame seeds, spinach, walnuts, pistachios)
- Selenium ( Brazil nuts, sunflower seeds, mushrooms, seafood, beef, chicken)
- Magnesium (cacao, Brazil nuts, almonds, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds)
Don’t forget to eat plenty of broccoli and other cruciferous veggies, coconut oil, garlic, flaxseed oil, hemp, healthy spices such as turmeric and ginger, sauerkraut, mushrooms, and plenty of purified water. The higher the antioxidant content of your food, the better.
A plant based diet will heal almost any health problem and your body will fully function when it’s given the correct amounts of nutrients. Take this knowledge and free yourself! Be free to live a natural and healthy life, where you rarely get sick, have tons of energy, think critically all the time, be independent and able to take care of your family as well.
