Cancer Prevention - Part Four

by Dr. Robert Swain

We have finally come to the last part of the cancer prevention series.

Strategy #11

Cancer Strategy #11:  Psychological Stress Leads To Cancer... Resolving Stressful Issues Vital For Success Against Cancer

Cancer has many more causes beyond being initiated by stressful events. But it does look like they are much more important in initiating cancer than anyone had previously thought. What is undoubtedly true is that stress knocks down the immune system significantly, which could certainly translate into accelerated growth of cancer cells. Continued stress from unresolved traumatic events must inhibit your body's ability to fight cancer.

What The Medical Industry Won't Tell You About Treating Cancer

Chemotherapy and other treatments damage cells and tear down and weaken the immune system. But the problem in the first place is that your immune system is already weak, and that your cells are already damaged.

Even if tumors do go into remission, these treatments will have damaged other cells, which are more likely to turn cancerous. The immune system, unless it is supported by supplements and diet to help it recover, will be in worse shape then ever.

While it may have taken decades for cancer to develop the first time around, the second time usually takes a year or two.

A Doctor's Shocking Closed-Door Confession  . . .

In a survey of 79 oncologists from McGill University Cancer Center in Canada, 64 said they would not consent to treatment with Cisplatin, a common chemotherapy drug, while 58 oncologists said they would reject all the current trials being carried out by their establishment. Why? "The ineffectiveness of chemotherapy and its unacceptable degree of toxicity." Philip Day, Cancer: Why We're Still Dying to Know the Truth

It makes sense, doesn't it, to supplement your chemotherapy or radiation treatments with other options that support your body and actually help it be much more effective in fighting cancer.

Many people only do chemotherapy and radiation therapy, and do not also support their body's fight against cancer in other ways. All too often, the cancer is not destroyed, or comes back a short while later. And no wonder . . .

If the immune system has been wiped out by chemotherapy or radiation, cancer is bound to overrun the body even faster than before. Hit cancer hard. This is one fight you don't want to lose.


There you have it.  Eleven great ways you can help to reduce the risk of getting cancer.

You see, just making some simple lifestyle changes can dramatically improve your health and reduce your chances of developing one of those dreaded diseases that plague our nation today.  That's a win, win.
