My Alternative Healing Anti-cancer Diet Program

For the latest stage Gallbladder and lymph cancer patient like my brother, who is unable to carry on the chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery as told. This also keeping him to avoid of harmful and poisonous chemotherapy radiation side effect. His body and health condition is weakening when he first came to me, and his is seriously skinny, underweight with 46kg and his body height at 5'7" tall. He is highly fatigue, weak and worst he is in serious anemic condition....

Moreover with the prognosis to his cancer cells growth is invasion and metastasis, which may become worsen and accelerated to the patient death rapidly. Thus, use of the natural raw herb juices and anti-cancer foods as alternative remedies is just consolidating as an option at this moment.

Most of the later stage cancer patient generally has very poor appetite, vomit, bowel movement is not running smoothly, and the degree of illness may be worsen day by day. Actually, my brother still has the appetite to eat, and the anti-cancer dietary plan give direct impact with chances to improve his condition, by using of therapeutic foods and drinks naturally without hassle to his health would be more optimistic.

The palliative treatment from modern medication now has switches to alternative herbs, anti-cancer dietary and therapeutic food program, to his terminal malignancies without suffering and pains. My only hope is to alleviate his cancer with natural alternative healing really need to put in MORE TIMES, EFFORTS, WITH CARE PLUS CAUTION than by modern surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy and medicine to kill those cancerous cells. 


The raw herbs juice healing, I used of Sabah Snake Grass ~ Clinacanthus Nutans as alternative:

Although, many herbs have anti-cancer active agents in curing cancer, presently this famous cancer curing herb "Sabah Snake Grass" ~ Clinacanthus Nutans is the primary herb for him, Sabah Snake Grass may sound promising in curing cancer, but many cancer patients or non-cancer peoples had started replanting this herb plant, and taking it as "miracle herb" in treating cancer also for prevention purpose. So far, after few weeks of herbal and detox dietary in consumption, it really had shown good potential result and also with some "bad reverse effect".  This is due to the common self-healing and healing crisis stages. His skin condition is better, and less severe painful complaints.But it has shown some "Reverse Effect" due to detoxifying crisis like constipation, and insomnia.

With the uses of Sabah Snake Grass and combination with other alternative herbs as secondary healing juices for internal and external application like:

• "Yu Xing Cao" in chinese 鱼腥草 ~ Houttuynia cordata thunb, 
• "Huo tan Mu" 火炭母 ~ Polygonum chinense herb  
• "Black Face General"黑面将军 ~ Strobilanthes Crispus 
• "Bai He Ling" 白鹤灵芝 Rhinacanthus nasutus (L.) kurz
• "Guo Jiang Teng"  过江藤 ~ Phyla Nordiflora L. Greene

AND ...... 


HERBAL HEALING is not everything for him.......


MOST IMPORTANT ......

Herbs, dietary, deep breathing, changes of life style, mind, body and moral support from family...

One thing about using herbal therapy, is to keep in mind that DO NOT totally relying on "miracle herbs" or whatsoever herbs alone to treat cancer naturally, important point to holistic healing  must first starting to balance the mind and body, change of life style, healthy dietary on how to participate in "Eat the right foods and more green juices for cancer cure" e.g taking appropriate anti-cancer food and unprocessed whole foods, plus daily exercise, deep breathing or meditation if allowed. Lastly, of course the family moral support is very much inspiration to give courage to cancer patient with positive thinking in this cancer fighting journey.


As our body has the natural ability to cure by itself, this provided the self-healing immune system is strengthened. As when the cancer patient has positive thought and mind is set to determine whether be able or willingly to participate with intolerable ways, and strictly follow the whole alternative healing programs in the sense of without hurting his feeling as well as health condition. 





So, if one prefers to use of "Alternative Healing" or any "Herbal Remedies" to cure cancer, if without other option or choices. When using alternative healing with herbs, anti-cancer foods and green juices really need good knowledge and proper schedule, planning and time preparation to achieve the desirable result.  If not, use of modern medicine and always seek medical advice to further detection on the outcome of cancer grows with appropriated progressive way than taking the risk to treat all sorts of alternative healing methods by yourself. 

Due to no other option for me to choose,  my purpose and in accordance to my brother’s health condition, use of anti-cancer herbs and foods may help to starve and cause the cancer cells in necrosis to suppress its growth, eliminates the tumors’ life force which maybe possible to lengthen or prolonging his lifetime in survival. In order to strengthen his immunity system, more stronger and powerful anti-cancer foods, herbs and juices has to be increased in doses, and intake amount with careful attention, focus properly without any error as this may causes other complication to him. I guess this may need longer times to heal but at least I tried.

His case studies and what factors that caused his illnesses:

To understand more and from his case analysis, his major problem is due to malnutrition and unhealthy eating habit, it links to some other complicated serious illnesses to him too. 


My brother is one good example:

he loves eating oily, fried and greasy foods seldom drink plain water. And his working environment (As a Planter in big farm with plenty of chemicals pesticides) is the main causes. Due his daily unhealthy eating habits that’s breeding ground to acidity condition, once the immunologic function is drawback and many reasons that causes his gallbladder and lymph cancer. His is a very emotional person, quiet and unhappy person. The imbalance of diets, mind and body could be the cause illnesses and cancer grows.

From my personal point of view on his cancer case, is most probably also from environmentally. Many planters should consider using of microbe enzymes, or organically made fertilizer for planting, instead of using harmful chemical pesticides. At the end or in long term it may REVERSES in killing the person who used the pesticides first than killing those insects and parasites. The skin becomes thickening, and his skin condition is prolonged exposure to toxicity from chemical pesticides at work environmental that caused.

Food is natural medicine as self-healing to immunity system.

The whole wide spectrum of therapeutic foods as medicine, and medicinal herbs to be consumed for nourishment, detoxifies and boost the self-immune healing, this as well as to strengthen the energy “Qi” and "blood" flows. Regularly and frequently consumption of warming effect foods to support and give a good blood circulation a move, improves lymphatic flows for detoxify to poor flows and weak energy person. This help to alleviate and adjust his acidic body condition with proper move down system and good flows as to prevent of illnesses and further cancer cells grows.

Few steps to remember:

•   Intakes of  antioxidant foods and drinks could help to boost Self-healing immune system,

•   Detoxifying by Vegetable, fruit and green juice flush,

•   Adequate of exercise with Qi (Energy boost), deep breathing therapy brings in oxygenation to move down to the cells, help to avoid the lymph stagnation; keep the lymphatic system moving through the lymph vessel for detoxifying flows.

•   Uses of raw herbs or alternative herbs with caution and in moderation doses according to individual's health condition.

My alternative healing recipes ~Energy Booster healing Juice

Most of the whole grains foods like brown rice (mostly 10 grains rice is used) Brown Rice, Mung beans, Rolled Oats, Millet, Buckwheat, Whole Oats, Red Wheat, Pearl Barley, Job's Tears, is best source of energy supplement to make Energy Booster foods or drinks for cancerous patients. It can be made into porridge, energy drinks as healing booster. 

Especially in the meridian manifestation of gallbladder malfunctioning cause poor digestive system, this linking to poor absorbency and having stomach bloating, fatigue and weak to gallbladder stone or cancer patient. Mostly fiber food and wholesome unprocessed foods as his primary source being, as too much of fiber can also cause stomach bloating and constipation. To reverse sometimes I have to "Plus and Minus" method in measurement on food source, that's mean is to use less fiber a while, drinking more water to flush out the toxins.

How to cook the 10 grains cereal rice and making Energy super food juice:

Preparation:


1.  Wash and pre-soak 10 grains cereal rice for at least 4 - 6 hours prior to cooking it.

2.  Cook the 10 grains cereal rice with sufficient water. Keep boiling for about 15  to 20 minutes.

3.  Once the 10 grains cereal rice is cooked, and then set aside to let it cold first.

4. Mixed with high fiber and anti-cancer vegetable and fruit like Asparagus, Dragon fruit, green apple, ground Flax seed, Molasses, wheatgrass powder and mix in the cooked 10 grains rice, then blend it finely as nutrient-rich “energy Drink”.

Asparagus is good for his kidney, anemia, skin problem and bowel movement. It is rich antioxidant, detoxifying and defender against cancer for immunity boost.

Note: 

• To against the protein cells from metabolic and protect the normal cells, taking powerful anti-cancer or fighting cancer nutritional energy drink help to boost the immunity.  
• Millet is best choice that found in 10grains cereal rice, which is a nutrient-rich also easy digestion, with gluten-free grains for energy boost. 
• Selenium plays an important role to prevent of cells oxidation, to support and strengthen the cells to healthy immunity. Therefore, Ground Flax seed is content Selenium, it is easy digest and with laxative effect, added to reduce his high cholesterol, improving liver and gallbladder function, and smooth bowel movement, he has less constipation after drinking this energy booster juice in regular duration of 3 times a week in his healing menu.
• According to scientific analysis, 10 grains cereal rice and its ingredient has more than 100 kinds of beneficial and healthy nutrients to human body, like Vitamin B groups (B1, B2, B6, B9, B12), Vitamin C, A, E, K, D, and other mineral substances e.g calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, the trace element like zinc, molybdenum is an essential mineral, manganese, germanium, enzyme and oxidation resistance, amino and other biological elements content, this is especially good for malnutrition person like him.

Taking 10 grains cereal rice is considered as macrobiotic diet and natural dietary healing food, this helps in reduces of cholesterol, ease constipation to digestive tract problem, reduces hypertension, good for skin disease, anemia, insomnia, and most importantly does not have side effect. In the prevention of stomach cancer especially good for my brother’s stomachaches and digestive tract problem, it also gives superb nutrition to his malnutrition problem. It looks simple and it sounds promising…..and I believe this diet does help and has great approach to solve his digestive system. 

Other common symptoms and complication occurrences

He has many other complicated illnesses like fatty liver, high cholesterol, the most common symptom is an accompanying with stomach bloating after foods, very often with bowel obstruction, colon clogging that caused constipation to Gallbladder cancer patient.

Natural food source in aid of constipation:

1. Adding more fiber in foods, drinking more water, and foods with high magnesium as laxative to relax and smoother the muscle of the colon, Potassium is a natural diuretic.

2. Foods high in potassium to draw water into the colon, foods source like banana, orange, potato, Avocado, cereal, tomato, eggplant, spinach is given.

3. Molasses or black strap molasses, prune juice are high in magnesium which can help to smooth the colon muscle, relaxes the colon, occasionally intake of yogurt with black prune juice, black strap molasses or molasses with apple vinegar cider can help to smooth the bowel movement and digestive system. 

4. To increase the serve of cruciferous vegetables and food high in magnesium like mustard green which has contain of phytonutrients known as glucosinolates, it can convert into isothiocyanates which have anti-cancer and anti-inflammation active properties. To his cancer problem, this mustard green supports various health benefits like detoxification, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory systems.
