Healing Cervical Cancer Naturally


8: Healing cervical cancer naturally

September 5, 2015
Can you heal cancer naturally with a raw vegan diet, meditation and yoga? Amanda did!
Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer among women and almost 4,000 cases were fatal just last year. Conventional treatments for cervical cancer include chemotherapy, radiation, surgeries, hysterectomies, or the removal of lymph nodes and ovaries. Treatments like this often leave the woman infertile.
When Amanda Deming was diagnosed with cervical cancer she was determined to cure herself naturally through a raw vegan diet, meditation, and yoga. Without any conventional treatment she is now cancer-free.
Amanda stopped by The Food Heals Podcast to share her healing story, give her tips for what to do if you or a loved one is diagnosed with cancer and why it is just as important to read your wine labels as it is to read you food labels!

6 Reasons Why I Run My Holistic Blog




  1. My Brother Maurice
  2. My Brother Cedric
  3. My wife Linda
  4. My mother
  5. Me
  6. My love for people and distrust for traditional medicine

When my brother collapsed from cancer spreading to his spine in 2005 from the prostate, I first learned of a family history of cancer.

My older brother went and got checked, he had cancer too.

They both selected radiation and surgery. One brother died after 15 months, the other, became incontinent and impotent. 

I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2008. I decided to pursue holistic treatments. I had seen what happened to others.

I learned about cleansing, poisons in our food and environment. I changed my diet. I started taking Poly-MVA. My PSA has gone as high as 29 and down as low as 6. Soon, the doctors were not able to see any tumors.

My mother thought I was crazy. She was a nurse and believed in conventional medicine. 

My wife was diagnosed in 2005 and died in 2014 following a terrible treatment regimine with chemo, radiation and surgery. She drowned in her own body fluid. I believe in holistic treatments with all my heart and would rather die than suffer the side effects of chemo and radiation.  

There are so many alternatives. That is why I created this blog. To provide others with the information I have gathered and still gather, to make informed decisions. 

I truely believe that had it not been for Poly MVA, I would not be alive today.

Please do your dilligence on this and visit http://www.PolyMVA.com 

I have also done:

  • Sonic Treatment
  • Accupuncture
  • Infrared Treatment
  • Colonics
  • Liver Cleanse
  • Diet Change (eliminate sugar, high fructose corn syrup, white flower, white rice, most breads, corn, soy beans). 
  • Supplements to fortify the immune system
  • Manage emotional stress
Do not hesitate to contact me to discuss my treatment regimine. Check out the blog. Consider telling your story on my radio and TV shows.

14 Cancer-Causing Foods You Should Never Put In Your Mouth Again


015-09-03T21:07:20+00:00



On their cite, The American Institute for Cancer states that “Exploration has demonstrated that most cancers can be avoided. Researchers now guessed that 60 percent to 70 percent of tumors are all preventable through as of now accessible data and straightforward changes in eating regimen and way of life.”

This is an empowering explanation, so this article will point at those cancer- causing foods that should be avoided in your regular dietary way of life, in order to discard toxins that can expand your possibility of cancer and thus enhance your wellbeing.


1. Sugar

For the individuals who are facing up with cancer, the key is to eliminate the sugar. Cancer cells advance in sugar and any nourishment that changes over to sugar, for example, grains, pastas, carbs, bread and most organic products. For the individuals who want to maintain wellbeing, having balanced eating routine that incorporates organic products is the best alternative.


2. Non-organic fruit and vegetables

Non- organic fruits and vegetables are developed with GMO seeds, pesticides and herbicides. All of these are dangerous to your health.


3. Hydrogenated oils

Hydrogenated oils, otherwise called trans-fats, are in fact, a man-made product. The Harvard School of Public Health states that trans-fats advance immune system over-action and inflammations are connected to coronary illness, stroke and diabetes, among other endless infections. Their synthetic structure has been

adjusted to keep the item from going rancid with a specific end goal to expand their timeframe of life. Chemicals are likewise used to mask the smell and change the essence of the oil.


4. Processed foods

Nitrites and nitrates which are in high amounts present in cured meats, which are additives that can, in vast sums, conceivably expand your danger of stomach and different tumors. Prepared foods are brimming with sugars, oils, colors, white flours, flavorings  and other horrible ingredients.


5. Soy protein isolate

The American Dietetic Association indicates that soy protein isolates are known to consist of anti-nutrient that can create or delay the body’s capacity to process food and absorb the supplements into the circulatory system. 90-95 percent of U.S. – developed soybeans, used to make soy protein separate, are “roundup prepared,” which means that they have been hereditarily changed to withstand herbicides. Soy undergoes acid washing in aluminum tanks industrially, and 

aluminum is profoundly poisonous to the nervous system and kidneys.


6. Cured and smoked foods

Apart from being used as additives to keep food from rotting, nitrates and nitrites are also used to add color to meats. When cooked, nitrites and nitrates change into by-items called N-nitroso mixes, for example, nitrosamines and nitrosamides. N-nitroso mixes are connected with an expanded danger of cancer.


7. GMOs

GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms) food ought to be avoided. However, these harmful food items have penetrated our nourishment supply at a dangerous rate.


8. Grilled meat

PAHs, or polycyclic scented hydrocarbons, are delivered through specific sorts of burning, for instance, the burning of coal or wood. The danger for cancer-causing presentation is expanded by the extra issue which is created when fat from meat trickles onto a flame. Then, in case of a sudden outbreak and smoke, the PAHs join themselves to the nourishment you are cooking.


9. BPA lined cans

Laboratory studies in cells and animals have connected BPA to cancer, impotence, diabetes and obesity. This component found in hard plastics and sticky substance is used to coat metal cans. It can also be found in various plastic items and dental composites. Unless a canned thing is named BPA free, it most probably contains bisphenol-A (BPA).


10. Farmed fish

Farmed fish contain more prominent levels of chemical pollutants than wild fish, including PCB’s a known cancer-causing agent, according to Food and Water Watch. Fish are more likely to be influenced by sickness expanding the utilization of anti-infection utilization, as a result of overcrowding in fish ranches. Moreover, they are more vulnerable to sea lice, which implies they are additionally treated with pesticides.


11. White flour

The seeds from which are developed the commercial grains are treated with fungicide. The plants are then splashed with pesticides, and collected and put away in bins covered with bug sprays. Grains are then prepared in high temperature speed rollers. Chlorine oxide as a chlorine gas shower is used as a whitener, and in addition as a maturing agent. In the end, the starch we are buying has no supplements and is brimming with poisons.


12. Microwave popcorn

Microwave popcorn are lined with perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), Perfluoroalkyls and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) to keep oil from dousing through the packing. When warmed, these chemicals filter into the popcorn and act as blood contaminants when ingested. PFOA has been linked to tumors in animal organs (liver, pancreas, testicles and mammary organs in rats), and grows in prostate cancer in PFOA plant specialists.


13.Soda- sports drinks

Drinking soda or sports d rinks possess no dietary quality. In contrary, these beverages contain brominated vegetable oil (a fire resistant), aspartame, high fructose corn syrup, sugar, colors, and different chemicals.


14.Refined sugars

The link between sugar and various issues has been scientifically discovered, for example, sugar is related to low HDL levels, corpulence, immune suppression, expanded danger for coronary illness, undesirable levels of blood fats, higher blood triglyceride levels, joint inflammation and a large group of different ills. As mentioned, tumor cells advance in sugar.

CANCER CO-MANAGEMENT THERAPIES



Despite what you may hear, there are many safe, nontoxic therapies for patients with cancer. This gentler, more humane approach is based on an entirely different paradigm and that is to strengthen the body and give it the tools needed to fight disease.

Every year, nearly 560,000 Americans die of cancer, and it is perhaps the most-feared of all diseases. But why is cancer so terrifying? Far more people die of heart problems and stroke, yet we don't fear them like we do cancer. The answer is simple. It's because we know that conventional cancer treatments can be toxic and debilitating. Patients often suffer more from treatment than they do from the disease itself. We've spent hundreds of billions of dollars on the "war on cancer" in the past 40 years, yet we've made no significant progress. The death rate from cancer has not changed appreciably since 1950, and the survival gains attributed to blockbuster drugs—which often cost more than $100,000 per year—are measured in months rather than years.

Our Integrative Approach
Our therapies enhance immune function and the body's ability to help put the brakes on the undisciplined, rapid cell division that is characteristic of cancer. They improve overall health and protect against cachexia, or wasting, which is a serious concern for cancer patients and can have direct anti-tumor or anti-metastasis effects. None of these therapies ravage the body or further deteriorate quality of life. In fact, in virtually all cases, they improve it. To complement any surgeries or drug treatments that may be recommended, our integrative physicians can also help devise therapies that can improve your prognosis. 

Nutrition and Cancer
Nutrition is a powerful therapy for patients who desperately need to keep up with the malnutrition brought on by cancer. At The Center for Natural and Integrative Medicine, we counsel patients in an appropriate diet that emphasizes nutrient-dense vegetables, fruit and lean protein and omits sugar, unhealthy fats, and processed foods.

We will also design a personalized nutritional supplement program for you. The past decade has seen an explosion of research on the benefits of vitamin D, melatonin, curcumin, modified citrus pectin, indole 3 carbinol and other supplements for people with cancer. A targeted supplement program is imperative for anyone with this disease.

Intravenous Nutrition and Cancer
We also offer a number of unique therapies and safe, effective pharmaceuticals. Studies conducted at the National Institutes of Health reveal that when blood concentrations of vitamin C reach target levels—which is only possible through IV administration—it becomes a potent chemotherapeutic agent that kills cancer cells but, unlike chemo drugs, leaves healthy cells intact. Patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation find themselves completely wiped out of energy. I.V. Nutrition is invaluable in providing essential vitamins, minerals and amino acids to help heal the body, especially as most patients experience nausea or are unable to eat.
We offer:
  • Vitamin C infusions up to 100g
  • Multivitamin and mineral infusions
  • Cachexia formula (to help combat muscle wasting).
  • Glutathione
  • Alpha Lipoic acid 


Oxidative, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and Cancer
Because cancer cells thrive in the absence of oxygen, we also treat patients with hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Exposure to massive amounts of oxygen makes them less virulent and more vulnerable to other therapies.

Specific Cancer   Genetic Testing
This testing is recommended for families with a high risk of a genetic predisposition to certain cancers. A predisposition to certain cancers can be inherited via altered genes. Genetic testing aims to detect a genetic alteration, through their blood or tissue samples, that might increase the chances of a person developing a particular cancer. BRCA-1 and BRCA-2 are the two genes associated to hereditary ovarian and breast cancer. Mutations of MLH-1 and MLH-2 genes are associated with colorectal cancer.

Generally, it is necessary to test a person who has had cancer first to identify the genetic change causing cancer in the family. Blood relatives who have no signs of cancer can then choose to have testing to find out if they have inherited the altered genes that may make it more likely for them to get cancer. Patients who will be undergoing a genetic testing must not have had any recent blood transfusions.

 PREVENT CANCER


Live a Chemo preventive Lifestyle
Start by doing everything within your power to avoid environmental carcinogens. Stay away from tobacco smoke, including secondhand smoke. Make sure your home and workplace are properly ventilated, and consider using an air filtration system. Keep away from pesticides, herbicides, and radiation when you can. Also, avoid excessive sun exposure, but make sure you get at least 10 to 15 minutes of direct sunlight every day—your body's production of vitamin D, which protects against cancer, depends on it.

Exercise regularly, for there is a well-defined association between moderate exercise and reduced cancer risk.

Diet Does Make a Difference
Drink lots of purified water as well as green tea, an exceptionally potent cancer fighter. If you drink alcohol, do so in moderation. And eat right. Saturated fat in meat and trans fats in fried and processed foods are perhaps the most harmful dietary components, for they stimulate tumor growth. On the other hand, omega-3 fatty acids in cold-water fish actually suppress cancer cell proliferation.

Make sure your diet includes lots of vegetables, fruits, and legumes, and if possible, make them organic. Regular consumption of high-fiber, nutrient-rich plant foods have been shown to confer a twofold reduction in cancer risk! Foods that are particularly beneficial include soy and cruciferous vegetables (broccoli in particular, but also cabbage, kale, and brussels sprouts). Also important are carotenoid-rich leafy greens, yellow-orange vegetables, tomatoes (especially cooked), citrus fruits, berries, and garlic.

Arm Yourself With Antioxidants...
One of the best and easiest things you can do to reduce your risk of cancer is to take a good daily multivitamin and mineral supplement—but it must contain more than the current RDA levels of protective nutrients found in most supplements. Look for at least 800 IU of vitamin D, which supports the breast, prostate, and colon, and 800 mcg of folic acid, which guards against DNA damage.

Make sure you're getting enough antioxidants. Free radicals contribute to the diseases associated with aging, and cancer is no exception. The body's repair mechanisms just can't keep up with years of accumulated DNA damage, which explains why the vast majority of cancers develop in older people.
Vitamin C, vitamin A, beta-carotene, and vitamin E have all been shown to reduce the incidence of cancer, and in recent years, selenium has emerged as one of the most chemopreventive antioxidants. A clinical trial published in the Journal of the American Medical Association suggests that just 200 mcg of supplemental selenium daily could substantially reduce the death rate from cancer.

Another valuable antioxidant, one that you will not likely find in your multivitamin, is coenzyme Q10. Blood levels of this antioxidant are consistently lower in cancer patients than in healthy people, so taking 100-300 mg of CoQ10 a day may offer added protection.

...And Other Supplements
If you eat lots of the all-star cancer-fighting foods discussed earlier, good for you. If you don't, consider supplementing with extracts from these protective foods and herbs. Not crazy about broccoli? Take indole-3-carbinol (I3C). I3C blocks tumor growth and increases your body's production of detoxifying enzymes. It is protective against tumors in the breast, ovary, and prostate. Green tea polyphenols, sulfur compounds from garlic, and lycopene and other carotenoids from tomatoes and other vegetables can also be found in concentrated form.

These are by no means the only natural substances that boost immunity and protect against cancer. There is a growing body of research supporting the benefits of curcumin, a phytonutrient in turmeric, and calcium D-glucarate, which has been shown to enhance the elimination of carcinogens.

Recommendations
  • Exercise for a minimum of 30 minutes several times a week and eat a nutrient-rich diet with lots of the cancer-preventing foods discussed above.
  • Take a high-potency multivitamin and mineral supplement as well as the other supplements mentioned above. Look for them in your health food stores and use as directed. (Isoflavones may stimulate existing breast tumors, so don't take soy if you have breast cancer.)
  • For information on receiving preventive care at The Center for Natural & Integrative Medicine, call (407) 355-9246.

What is Cancer?
Uncontrolled cell growth sometimes results in a mass of quickly dividing cells in the area where the transformation takes place.  These can form the lumps known as tumors which may either be visible or located through touch.  If the cancer is remaining confined to this one place in the body and is not invading the surrounding tissues it is considered benign.  In some cases, however, the cancerous cells promote formation of blood vessels into the tumor cells in a process known as angiogenesis.  By bringing in nutrients and oxygen through these blood vessels, it allows for more cancerous cell growth and invasion of neighboring tissues.  If the cancer becomes malignant in this fashion, the cells may break away, or metastasize, allowing them to circulate in the body and spread the cancer. 

Causes of Cancer
Some cancers are caused by mutations to the cells that transform them.  Carcinogens, for example, are a category of substances known to increase the incidence of cancer if cells are exposed to them.  Some notable carcinogens include asbestos fibers and cigarette smoke.  Some of these carcinogens actually cause permanent mutations to the DNA in the cells they transform, causing them to become cancerous.  These can be more specifically referred to as mutagens.  Ultraviolet light exposure can also cause mutations that lead to cancer.  If a person is exposed to too much UV light from the sun while outdoors, for example, they may develop skin cancers due to the damaging effects of these rays on the DNA in their cells. 

Hormones have a wide variety of effects in the body, including some that involve regulation of cell growth.  Too much of the hormone estrogen, for example, has been linked to development of breast and endometrial cancers.

Certain cancers can also be caused by bacterial and viral infections.  Chronic stomach infections with the bacteria Helicobacter pylori, for example, can lead to inflammation of the stomach lining, ulcers, and cancerous lesions.  Many different viruses have been implicated in the cancerous transformation of cells, as well, including human papillomavirus (HPV), hepatitis B and C viruses, human T-lymphotrophic virus, and Epstein-Barr virus.  Part of the life cycle of many viruses involves inserting the viral DNA into the host cell and using the host’s DNA replication and protein synthesis machineries to make new virus particles.  During this process, the viral DNA may change the way the human DNA in the cell is regulated.  In other cases, the viral DNA may actually insert itself into the human DNA, where it can continue to replicate more stably, and perhaps turn on human genes that are normally not expressed.  Some of these genes, called proto-oncogenes, can cause cancer if they are turned on.

Some cancers are caused by immune dysfunction, such as Kaposi’s sarcoma, a skin cancer that develops primarily in patients that have HIV.  Lymphomas are cancers arising in the lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell that helps the body fight off infections.  In these types of cancers, the cancerous cells travel freely through the body rather than forming tumors, allowing them to spread to all the lymph nodes quite rapidly.

Genetic variations and mutations can also increase a person’s likelihood of developing cancer.  Research scientists have been able to identify specific genes that appear to actively suppress the formation of tumors.  If a person inherits a version of any of these genes that does not suppress tumors as well, they may be at risk for developing cancer just by virtue of heredity.  Specific genes have been identified for their involvement in breast cancer, ovarian cancer, retinoblastoma (eye), colon cancer, certain types of brain tumors, and many others.

Conventional Treatment of Cancer
The treatment of a cancer depends on where tumors are located, whether the cancerous growth is contained (or becoming invasive or spreading), and the overall physical health of the patient.  Many times this is a balancing act between eliminating the cancer and keeping the patient strong enough to recover fully.
Cancerous tumors, even if they appear to be benign, may be removed surgically to avoid the risk of becoming invasive and spreading throughout the body.  Even if the edges of the removed tissues appear to be clear of any signs of metastasis, it is a good idea for frequent follow-ups to be performed to ensure that cancerous growths are not developing near the removed tissues or elsewhere in the body.  In some cases, much of the surrounding tissues will also be removed to reduce the risk of further cancers.  Some women elect to undergo mastectomies for breast cancer, for example, to avoid a recurrence of tumor growth.

Radiation therapy can also help assist in the killing and of cancer cells.  By exposing these cells to doses of ionizing radiation, their DNA is destroyed such that they can no longer divide. Radiation treatment may also shrink larger tumors to aid in safe removal.  Many times, the surrounding tissues are also damaged by these treatments, but are usually capable of recovering.  Chemotherapy is another common treatment, in which patients take drugs that specifically target rapidly dividing cells.  In addition to killing cancer cells, chemotherapy treatments will also target other rapidly dividing cells, such as those in the hair follicles and stomach lining.  These healthy cells will eventually replace themselves, though their loss causes some of the side effects common to chemotherapy (hair loss, vomiting, diarrhea, etc). Some tumors are also hormone sensitive, so hormone therapies may prove effective in controlling tumor growth.  Breast cancers and prostate cancers, for example, may be treated in part by blocking estrogen or testosterone.  There are also drugs designed to target angiogenesis, the process by which tumors redirect blood vessels to help nourish tumor growth.

Black Magic: The Benefits and Uses of Activated Charcoal

Black Magic: the Benefits and Uses of Activated Charcoal

Black Magic: the Benefits and Uses of Activated Charcoal One of my favorite botanical substances is Carbon, also known as Activated Charcoal.

Carbon, or it's more common name, Activated Charcoal has been around for thousands of years. It was even used by Hippocrates and Pliny in their day.

Activated Charcoal, derives it's name from the process of taking the charcoal which results from the activity of controlled charring of the starting material (usually Willow Bark, aka Salix alba), and subjecting it to an oxidizing gas, i.e. air or steam, at elevated temperatures (which enhances the absorptive power of the charcoal by developing an extensive internal network of fine pores in the material).

Carbon is 100% alkaline and is spinning with electrons making the substance highly electrical. Carbon's negative ionic charge attracts positive ionic charges (of toxins and poisons) causing them to bind and then escorts them out of the body via the eliminative channel of the intestines.

Amazing Uses of Carbon

This majestical substance helps to heal all colon diseases and greatly benefits the intestines. Carbon will greatly counteract flatulence (gas) and help to eradicate foul odors in the colon or intestinal tract.

Using Carbon to Whiten Teeth and Remove Plaque

No chemical teeth whitening solution or product on the market comes close to the whitening and brightening action and power of Carbon.

I remember a friend of mine, a Native American woman, told me one day how her teeth became and stayed so white. She told me accounts of when she was a little girl growing up, her father used to burn plant matter and after the plant burned to black ashes or became charred, the father would take the ash residue and give to his family and they would take a little on their finger and brush against their teeth. 

I used to always wonder how ancient people took care of their teeth without toothbrushes. But these people had Carbon, Miswak (or Peelu) and licorice sticks to use for oral hygiene. 

To use Carbon for your teeth, all you have to do is put a little toothpaste (a good brand of toothpaste, i.e., Peelu, Ayurveda, Nature's Gate, Tom's of Maine) on your toothbrush, then dip it in some Carbon, add just a little bit of water, and begin to brush. Your mouth will be black due to the Carbon and your sink may get messy, but one thing I can assure you, your teeth will get a good cleansing and a good shining. 

You would be wise to avoid using any and all commercial brands of toothpaste as they are all poisonous and toxic and contain harmful ingredients such as sodium fluoride (a major ingredient in rat poison),propylene glycol (used in engine degreaser), sodium laurel sulfate, saccharin (a known carcinogen), and harmful petroleum-based dyes (Red Lake and Blue Lake), also reported to be carcinogenic.     

No substance removes acidic plaque from the teeth like Carbon. It will greatly clean your teeth and help to remove stains on the teeth (especially stains derived from drinking coffee).

Using Carbon to Counteract the Ingestion of Poisons

Another good use for Carbon is in the area of accidental ingestion of poison, drugs (legal and illegal), and household chemicals. All you have to do is add a teaspoon of Carbon to a glass of water, stir it up really good, and have the person who ingested the poison to drink the glass full of Carbon water. 

No home of health conscious individuals should be without of this wonderful and great life-saving product, especially if you have small children on the scene!

Carbon is also great for people addicted to chemical substances in helping them to kick their habit.
