A Natural Answer to Cancer

Isn’t it strange that one hundred years ago cancer was a rare disease and now there are many types of cancers effecting an estimated one in four people? The truth is that cancer has been avoidable and curable for years. This is not just my opinion. These facts have been proven in scientific labs and more importantly, by people that have effectively removed cancer from their bodies via natural means.
Twenty years ago, Vitamin B-17 and Nitrilosides (also known as Laetrile and Amygdalin) were the subject of controversy when some top scientists claimed that consuming certain raw fruit seeds keep cancer cells from forming and kill such cells or masses. The hard-shell in the pit of the Apricot, for example, is a strong armor protecting one of the most important foods known to man and should never be thrown away. The kernal in the middle is chewable with a taste similar to a bitter almond, containing concentrated amounts of Vitamin B-17. This is a popular food source among cultures such as Hunzakuts, Abkhazians, and Navajo Native Americans. All of which have yet to report cases of cancer.
Dr. Krebs, the scientist known to discover B-17 asserts that seven apricot seeds per day will make it impossible to develop cancer in one’s lifetime. Nearly all cases where high doses of B-17 were administered reported shrinkage of tumors. This, of course, is information the FDA and companies that manufacture and sell chomotherapy don’t want you to know. I have yet to see a study by the FDA on the effects of Nitrilosides on cancerous cells. Could this be because it cannot be patented and thus, cannot produce millions of dollars? Many threats have been made to suppress this information from getting out as well as methods to force chemotherapy treatments on patients who suggest alternative methods such as Vitamin B-17. Additionally, many raids by the FDA are the reason they are not sold in grocery stores today due to this motivation.
B-17 can also be found in other fruit pits (plumbs, peaches, cherries, and apples), many grasses (i.e. wheat grass), Bitter Almonds, Millet, Lima Beans and many other foods. The Bitter Almond tree was also banned in the U.S. years ago. Are these bans justified? You be the judge. I’ve been consuming fruit seeds for three years now. Although, not in the manner Dr. Krebs suggested, but I have not been to see any doctor for at least five years.
I will conclude by listing, in addition to consuming fruit seeds and other foods with B-17 I’ve discussed here, some ways I have researched to avoid cancer tumors or unwanted growths.
- Avoid refined sugar as sugar feeds cancer.
- Cut down on caffeine intake to ensure healthy kidneys and liver.
- Avoid white flour as it turns into sugar within the body.
- Read your food labels very carefully.
- Educate yourself of the ingredients on the labels.
- Try to consume raw foods and avoid processed foods.
- Live and love life as you should and were meant to.
The preceding content in this article is derived from research and personal experience and is merely information. It is not to be taken as medical advice. Further, in addition to my distrust in pharmaceuticals, I have yet to discover research covering the interaction of nitrilosides with pharmaceutical medication(s) and strongly recommend that you do your own research and decide for yourself before adopting or applying the suggested material presented here into your life.
Radiation Therapy for Lung Cancer

Lung cancer is a serious condition which is caused by the uncontrolled multiplication of the cells in the lungs. This can spread to other parts of the body in severe condition. The choice from different treatments available like surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy and so on will depend on the extent of spread and the health conditions of the patient.
While using radiation therapy, high energy beam will be focused on the area affected by cancer. This beam has the ability to damage the DNA of the cancer cells. This will disable the cells from multiplying further. The cells will get destroyed and the possibility of them spreading and affecting other parts of the body will get nullified. This treatment can be classified as external beam radiation and internal beam radiation.
In the former, a machine outside the body will deliver the high energy beam to be focused on the tumor. In the later, a thin tube made of plastic will be inserted in to the body which will act as a passage for the transfer of radioactive material to the tumor.
Radiation therapy will be administered to the patient for an average period of six weeks on a daily basis. This treatment is painless and lasts only for a few minutes in every sitting. Different types of radiation treatment are:
• Palliative radiation: This aims at curbing the growth of cancer cells and reducing the pain associated with lung cancer. This is usually administered in the terminal stage of lung cancer when the aim is to reduce the pain than to treat the cancer. Often, this treatment is recommended if the cancer spreads to the spine or brain and causes harm on a much higher scale compared to the side-effects due to radiation therapy.
• Stereotactic radiation: This radiation therapy delivers high dosage of radiation directly to the tumor in the lung. The success rate of this surgery is more as compared to traditional surgery using incision. Elderly people or those suffering from other ailments are usually recommended this treatment.
• Proton radiation: A high dosage of radiation is delivered to the area housing the tumor. The advantage of this treatment over other radiation therapies is that it does not cause damage to the cells or tissues surrounding the tumor. Proton radiation causes fewer side effects compared to other forms of radiation treatments.
Side-effects of radiation therapy include inflammation in esophagus, radiation infections, pneumonitis, loss of hair, skin problems, radiation poisoning, vomiting, headache, nausea, and lack of appetite.
Different Types Of Liver Cancer

Liver is regarded as the power-house in human body. This is located below the diaphragm on the right hand side of the abdomen and plays an important role in the metabolism in our body. It controls blood sugar levels and filters blood. Malfunction of this organ can cause many health problems.
Cancer in the liver begins with the formation of tumor. Tumor gets formed when the liver cells called hepatocytes, cells of the bile duct or the cells lining the blood vessels in the liver multiply in an uncontrolled manner.
Liver cancer can be further classified as primary or secondary cancer. Primary liver cancer starts developing from benign tumors like hemangiomas, hepatic adenomas or focal nodular hyperplasia. This cancer can also be formed by other conditions like chronic kidney disorder, viral infection, hepatitis B or C, and other toxins in the liver. This cancer is further classified into:
• Hepatoma or hepatocellular Carcinoma: The cause is uncontrolled multiplication of hepatocyte cells of the liver. Adults, especially those suffering from liver cirrhosis, are more prone. This condition can occur in children and teens as well and is referred to as ‘hepatoblastoma’. This condition is commonly found in many Americans.
• Cholangiocarcinomas or cancer of bile duct: This cancer of the duct is more common among women.
• Hemangiosarcoma and Angiosarcoma: These two types of cancer are rare. The former commences in the blood vessels. This occurs more in children, who are less than four years of age, and the survival rate is higher than the latter type of cancer since the rate of progression of is slow. The latter starts in the blood vessels present in the liver and its rate of progression is very fast making survival rates lesser.
Secondary liver cancer occurs when the cancerous cells present outside the liver starts to spread. This type of cancer is also referred to as metastatic cancer. Mostly, primary cancer of the liver causes secondary cancer. Other causes can be colorectal cancer, advanced stage of breast cancer, kidney cancer, and lung cancer and so on. Cancer commences from organs, such as stomach, colon or pancreas, and spreads to the liver along with the blood that flows from these organs to the liver. The cancer can also get spread through the lymph system.
Symptoms in the initial stage of cancer may not be apparent. In the advanced stages, the symptoms include fever, fatigue, and weakness, loss of appetite or loss of weight. In secondary cancer, symptoms include enlargement of spleen, lethargy, and discomfort in the stomach or nausea.
