Holistic Cancer Cure

It`s unpredictable, it`s uncanny. It may be lurking within a body and the body wouldn`t know. Many a minor ache, quietly ignored and quickly discarded in the past, may be the begetter of that which is pernicious, lethal and detrimental to life. It shrouds itself in dubious obscurity till the time comes for it to reveal the first symptoms. All this while, the fatal cell stealthily multiplies and spreads. It disseminates its devastating influence till it aborts the very functional mechanism of the human body. Such is the effect of cancer.

Cancer is not a single disease. It is a large and complex family of malignancies that can affect virtually every organ in the body. Cancer kills one out of every four Americans, surpassed only byheart disease as the leading cause of death in this country. Over 1.2 million

Herbal Remedies For Prostate Cancer

Over the centuries, man has gone from a simple diet consisting of meats, fruits, vegetables, and grains, to a diet that often consists of foods rich in fats, oils, and complex carbohydrates. Nutritional excess and nutritional deficiency have become problems in today's society - both contributing to several chronic diseases. Many dietary and herbal approaches attempt to balance the body's nutritional well-being. Dietary and herbal approaches may include: dietary supplements and herbal medicine.

Herbal medicine or "herbal remedies" for treatment of prostate cancer have not been studied scientifically (in a randomized clinical trial, a highly regarded approach). In particular, combination herbal remedies currently on the market should be approached with caution,

Garlic and Cancer

Garlic is a potent antibiotic and inhibitor of many germs. It also has powerful anticancer properties.

In 1957, researchers at Western Reserve University had used raw garlic enzyme (alliinase) to prevent the growth of sarcoma in Swiss mice by inactivating certain chemical components of these tumor cells called sulfhydryl compounds. (13)

A remarkable study on garlic in China involved eleven patients suffering from cryptococcal meningitis, which is usually fatal. All eleven patients were successfully treated and recovered after several weeks of garlic therapy. (14) Doctors concluded that garlic is the best therapy for

Dandelion Treatment

The humble little Dandelion has remarkable nutritional value, being very high in vitamins A and C, with more beta carotine than carrots and more potassium than broccoli or spinach, not to mention healthy doses of iron and copper for good measure. Medicinally, Dandelions are considered very safe and effective as a general tonic that helps strengthen the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, stomach, and intestines, improving bile flow and reducing inflammation in cases of hepatitis and cirrhosis. Dandelions also help to dissipate gallstones and are believed to improve kidney function, thereby improving overall health and clearing skin problems.

Dandelion tea is the perfect choice for those with the above problems or those who lead relatively sedentary lifestyles and who experience discomfort associated with this, such as

Safety of herbal medicines

Many people assume that because a product is marketed as ‘natural ‘ or ‘herbal’, this means it’s safe to use. Some herbal medicines are safe but others can have serious and dangerous side effects

Some herbal medicines may interact with treatments from your doctor, including chemotherapy,radiotherapy, biological therapy or hormonal therapy.. A review published by the American Journal of Clinical Oncology found that some common herbal remedies, such as garlic, ginkgo, echinacea, ginseng, kava and St John’s Wort, can interact with cancer treatments.

Some herbal treatments may affect the way drugs are

Using green tea safely

As green tea is a herbal product it won’t necessarily have been thoroughly tested for interactions with foods, drugs or other supplements. This means it is difficult to know for sure how safe it is. Like any other herbal product or drug, it may affect how you absorb drugs and change the way some drugs work.

Recent research has raised concerns about a possible interaction between green tea and the drugbortezomib (Velcade). Animal research has suggested that green tea may stop Velcade from working. Do remember that we'd need much more research to find out if green tea has the same effect in humans. But it is a concern. If you are on Velcade, you may want to avoid green tea and its extract EGCG, which some people take as a supplement in liquid or capsules. If you have any worries, talk it over with your cancer specialist.

Evidence about green tea and cancer

Some laboratory studies have shown that extracts from green tea can stop cancer cells from growing. Green tea contains substances called polyphenols, which scientists think give it antioxidantproperties. But while these lab results are encouraging, we need evidence from human studies to prove them.

The evidence we have at the moment from human studies is mixed. A meta-analysis published in 2006 suggested that green tea may lower the risk of breast cancer. But an earlier meta-analysis could not find any significant evidence to support a reduction in risk of breast cancer.

Other studies are also conflicting. A meta analysis in 2006 concluded there was not
