I decided to use what I call "nutraceuticals" to aid the immune system and also do other functions. These are just off the shelf easily available anywhere (mostly...) natural analogues of well researched prescription medications and research. ALL pharmaceuticals STARTED with natural stuff first. And tested on animals including dogs first before us.
The immune system is the body’s first and last line of defense! There are many natural substances with pharmacological properties which are used to strengthen the body’s immune system in its fight against chronic disease and immune disorders such as cancer.
Our immune system is a complex system involving communication between the body’s organs, tissues, hormones and chemicals. It is an amazing protection mechanism which helps our body defend us against foreign invaders such as viruses, bacteria, microbes, parasites, and toxins which we come in contact with daily.
A compromised immune system can fail to protect the body against these foreign invaders, diseases, allergies, arthritis, infections, and can fail to stop the growth of cancer cells.
Stop feeling helpless to this disease…you or your dog still have options! I tried them and they worked on Lucy my dog.
Facts about Cancer:
- Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the US, exceeded only by heart disease. In the US, 1 of every 4 deaths is from cancer.
- Cancer obtains its protein needs from healthy cells. (EAT MORE PROTEIN SO THE BODY HAS ENOUGH)
- Cancer needs simple sugars to survive and multiply. Dietary measures low in grains and carbs can help starve cancer cells. (STOP GIVING CARBS AND GRAINS TO CARNIVORES!).
- Cancer cells need a large blood supply and they proliferate rapidly. It is important to reduce blood supply to the tumor, induce anti-angiogensis and decrease proliferation. (many of the supplements I chose do this)
- Toxins from cancer cells build up in the body, especially when the cancer cells die at a high rate from chemotherapy and radiation. It is crucial to increase detoxification in the body to restore normal regulatory functions (among others) and to restore normal programmed cell death (apoptosis). (you must have anti-oxidents and immune boosters to help remove this junk. I use anti-oxidents mostly in the morning after the nights doin's)
- The DNA in cancer cells is undifferentiated (it has lost the ability to become a certain cell, like a liver cell, and grows out of control without the programmed cell death of normal cells). Certain natural herbal substances can protect the DNA of healthy cells from mutations. They can also assist in the re-differentiation of cell DNA. This means reverting cancer cells to normal cells, whenever possible through re-establishment of cell cycle controls hereby slowing their growth. This is called differentation. It makes is easier for the immune system to identify what to kill.
- Cancer lowers the immune system. Improving the immune system and raising the activity of cancer-fighting mechanisms helps the body to fight cancer.
- Strengthening normal cells through alternative cancer treatments and appropriate nutrition and protocols improves their resistance to cancer spread.
- Cancer cells proliferate most at night while asleep. (What you eat before bed and dinner and the herbs you take at dinner and bed are critical. There must not be tons of glucose in your system. Cancer loves glucose that comes from carbs, grains, and sugars. No spikes in glucose! Eat more high protein medium fat meals with smaller portions more frequently. Cancer is proven to love glucose.)
THE IMMUNE SYTEM
Problem: Killing cancer cells is a tough business. Healthy cells are killed along with the cancer cells. Many traditional medical treatments actually degrade the body’s immune system. Many cancer patients do not die from cancer, but from the side effects from chemotherapy, radiation treatments, or from malnutrition that comes from cancer using YOUR cells protein and that toxin build up that makes one feel lousy and sick.
Solution:Your focus needs to be on building and increasing the body’s immune system.
Problem: Traditional treatment can weaken the patient’s immune system and thus lessen chances for survival. Many traditional treatments lower the immune system, lowers the patient’s blood values, thus weakening the patients overall health. The patient may become dehydrated from vomiting or diarrhea. Finding medical balance is critical when treating cancer. Early and Late Stage cancer patients need to focus on their body’s immune system to increase their chance of survival.
Cancer staging involves the process of describing the spread of cancer from the site of origin. A patient’s cancer stage is based on the primary tumor’s size and location in the body and whether the cancer has spread to other areas of the body.
Early Stage Patients: Never wait and see! Cancer cells do not take a day off or sleep when you do. Instead cancer continues to grow, whether fast or slow growing, 24 hours a day. Do not wait and see yourself go from early stage to late stage. Please be pro-active.
Late Stage: Traditional medicine has done most of what can be done. The cancer has progressed. Treatment becomes more severe and hope wanes. Or, the patient has been told “There is nothing more to offer. Go home and get your affairs in order.” BUT YOU CAN STILL GET A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE AT THE END WITH BETTER OVERALL HEALTH AT LEAST!
