Cancer

Cancer, as well as most human illnesses are due to a defiency of vital nutrients. When you supply your body with the proper nutrients, in a form that your body can use, it knows how to repair itself. Diet is very important. Increasing the amount of raw food in the diet can be lifesaving. Why raw food? Because from thirty to eight-five percent of the nutrition in foods is destroyed in cooking. That is an average fifty percent loss! Common sense tells us that a cancer patient can not afford to eat anything that is not health giving. There are two more reasons for eating raw foods. Cancer cells proliferate only where there is not enough oxygen for cells to be healthy. Give the area and the whole body optimal oxygen and cancer can't proliferate. Raw foods contain an abundance of oxygen. In cooked foods, oxygen is destroyed. This is a fact. Another reason to eat raw foods is that they give more energy. They contain all the nutrients. They digest easily; only ten percent of one's total energy is used. Most cooked and processed foods take up to 65% of one's total energy for digestion. Immunologists say that we all have cancer cells in our bodies but a healthy body doesn't develop cancer because it has a defense system with specialized cells that can recognize cancer cells and destroy them. Cancer can only develop in a body whose immune system is not functioning properly. The immune system is your body's major line of defense against cancer and infection. Alternative cancer therapies, which use nutritional and herbal remedies aim at boosting the efficiency of the immune system. These are some of the products recommended by alternative healers.
