The word "cancer" is probably the scariest word in the English language. The word itself brings on a sensation of helplessness or powerless to do something about it. But for someone newly diagnosed with cancer they can do something about it and that is with a little knowledge. To successfully survive cancer you need to identify its causes and remove them and allow the body to heal which it will do. It works for everyone and for all cancers no matter where they are.

What people don’t realize is that the human body is a powerful self healing living item and strives to heal itself automatically every single day. We have a built in repair system that you can’t even turn off if you wanted to. All you have to do to assist this system is to removing the barriers that have been stopping it from healing.

The system I’m talking about is your body’s immune system which has cared for you right through life and will continue to do so if you look after it. The trouble is that with cancer we are subjected to so much influence and misinformation by drug company advertisements and our mainstream medical system that we mistakenly believe the only way to treat the disease is to use toxic treatments.

You may wonder why these treatments are in place and unfortunately it’s because of their ability to return a profit. It’s a sad testimony to the society we live in today that we care more about profit than caring for someone’s life.

The reasons why our current treatments often don’t work is they only focus on removing cancer growths and never address the all important reason why the cancer first grew. The root cause of the problem should be the focal point of any cancer treatment yet most oncologists typically ignore them. All cancers, no matter where they appear in the body appear for a reason and to survive the disease it is necessary to address these reasons.

For cancer to appear in the first place there has to be a breakdown with the immune system which would normally hunt out and destroy wayward cancer cells. A cancer growth is only a sign that the cells of the body didn’t stop dividing when they were supposed to. That is cancer is a disease brought on by a violation of our natural laws.

We are part of nature and nature is so complex we will never figure it out. But we don’t have to, nature produces the perfect food for human beings and all you have to do is to eat it and the cure will come from within. The food I’m talking about is freshly grown fruit and vegetables, not processed and with minimal interference by man. Of course in the modern world we live in most of our food is available in supermarkets and has been processed and in the course of processing has lost its nutritional value. We are what we eat and many of our modern day health problems are related to our poor food choices.

While cancer is also influenced by other factors as well it’s our wrong food intake that’s the main reason why there is so much of it today. In strengthening the immune system we also need to respect the laws of Mother Nature and live as we were intended to, that is a little exercise, some sunshine and be watchful of the chemicals we surround ourselves with as all of these have contributed to the onset of cancer. To survive a cancer diagnosis it is common sense and not toxic treatments that are sorely needed.
