Several studies have focused on mistletoe and its potential, positive effect on cancer. Though research is inconclusive, many of the studies show that mistletoe’s anti-cancer properties work to kill various cancer cells. Further, the Christmas decor could be an alternative to toxic chemotherapy.

 

One study focuses on mistletoe and pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer is one of the most deadly forms of cancer, with a mortality rate of around 80% during the first years after diagnosis. It strikes 44,000 Americans each and every year and conventional treatments haven’t been able to do much to prolong their lives. This latest research, however, indicates it could offer assistance to those diagnosed with a deadly disease.

marijuana cannabis 263x164 Risky Healing: Making Your Own Medicinal Cannabis/Hemp Oil

The US government labels cannabis a ‘schedule one narcotic’ along with heroin and LSD; they also say it has no medicinal value. This is quite laughable considering the government itself holds US patents on cannabis constituents (namely marinol synthesized from THC), showing how it plans to capitalize on the plant’s known healing qualities just like pharmaceutical companies. In fact, one patent filed in February of 2001, #6630507, is entitled “Cannabinoids as Antioxidands & Neuroprotectants.” Sounds pretty ‘medicinal’ to me. More than 77% of American agree.

Natural killer cells are white blood cells (lymphocytes) that seek out and kill cancerous or otherwise mutating cells that can harm the body.

The Hippocrates Health Institute, situated in southern Florida, is one of the world's oldest complementary health centers. The Institute was founded by a woman named Anne Wigmore who, in 1952, was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer. Her doctors told her she had about three months left to live. “Well, thank goodness for her history,” Dr. Clement says. “In Europe, her grandmother was a village doctor. She saw her grandma, a natural doctor who used herbs and plants. She adopted that, healed herself, and reversed her cancer.” Upon her return to Boston, Massachusetts, Wigmore decided to share her experience and help others who were suffering debilitating and lethal diseases. And so the Hippocrates Health Institute was born in Boston in 1956. Today, six decades in business, the Institute is at the cutting edge in terms of using food and other lifestyle strategies as medicine.

Why Natural Therapeutic Medicine Is Needed More Today Than Ever Before

Prevent Disease, By: Eldon Dahl, 11/29/2013

First we have to start making changes in the basics, like our selection of food. Has it been processed, refined, and filled with negative-producing properties, such as saturated fats? A better choice would be to limit salt intake and non-GMO food, as well as refined sugars, which are the drug of choice. Why else would we consume an average of 72 kilos per person per year of sugar?

 

Prevention has always been the key when dealing with health, and especially mental illness. From the position of power, avoid diseases as much as possible before they begin to take a grip: diabetes, dementia and Alzheimer’s–all three have a connection. If we delay, it may be too late to reverse the damage; damage already done can be helped, but not by conventional means. There is a disease connection linked to diet, lifestyle and a positive mental approach. Like stepping stones, failure in these areas escalates from high blood pressure to high glucose, to increased need for insulin, to insulin resistance, to diabetes and mental illness.

You may have never tasted watercress, but you’ve likely heard of it. It’s a peppery tasting, delicate leaf vegetable related to broccoli, kale, and collards. And like just like those other vegetables, watercress offers some amazing health benefits. One new study from the University of Southampton indicates that watercress could even be useful in the fight against breast cancer.

 

According to the study, published in a recent edition of the British Journal of Nutrition, a compound in the cruciferous plant could work to turn off signals in the cells that are used to facilitate cancer growth, thereby starving cancer cells to death.
