Cancer Newsletter - Rosha's Remedies, Herbal remedies for you and your pet

I have had many requests from my readers to write about this and what can be done to help either with prevention, during therapies and/or recovering. This could be an extremely long subject matter so to keep it short. I will cover the basics and you may want to see or contact me about your specific needs. The main cause of cancer is the presence of poisons or toxins in the bloodstream. The cancer growth acts as a dumping encasement for the poisons. The cancer indicates that the blood is overloaded and is unable to eliminate in the normal way because of constipation and autointoxication. (See column about Health Maintaince.)

Cancer is more common today because there are more toxins in our food, water, and air. The body was designed to eliminate a certain amount of poisons, but when junk food is eaten along with bad living habits, it accumulates. Good nutrition and detoxification will speed the elimination of toxins, which destroy the organs that build and clean the blood. Your diet may reduce the risk of breast, cervical and colon cancers. Fresh juice fasting and wheatgrass juice inhibits and destroys cancer cells. Sprouts and seeds are beneficial. Sprouted grains are rich in vitamins and minerals. Cruciferous vegetables protect against cancer (cabbage, broccoli, kale, brussel sprouts, and cauliflower), and encourage indole formation in the intestines that prevent the formation of cancer.

There are many herbs that help with cancer. These herbs listed are recommended for ALL types of cancer.

Astragalus: A Chinese herb, that studies have found that it increases the activity of lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells, an immune-system component. In certain drug therapies astragulas increases the drug’s effectiveness. This allows the use of a lower, less toxic dosage. It is also effective in preventing depletion of white blood cells during chemotherapy.

Schisandra Berries: Protects the heart muscle during chemotherapy treatment with doxorubicin, but it does not interfere with doxorubicin’s action on cancer cells. This is one of my favorite herbs that I feel everyone should be taking because it is capable if increasing the body’s immune system and protecting the body against stress. It contains properties to increase energy, nourish the veins and improve vision. It is said to balance body functions, improve mental function, increase stamina and physical performance, normalize blood sugar and blood pressure, reduce high cholesterol, improve the health of the adrenal glands, and energize RNA and DNA molecules to rebuild cells. It is an adaptogen herb that increases the energy supply of cells in the brain, muscles, liver, kidneys, glands, nerves and in the entire body. It protects against free radical damage, and can protect against radiation, and speeds recovery after surgery. As far as cancers go it is very important for liver, and hepatitis.

Green Tea: A potent antioxidant and is over 200 times more powerful than the renowned antioxidant vitamin E in neutralizing free radicals. Also increases energy. Studies have shown that the polyphenols in green tea may offer significant protection against cancers of the pancreas, colon, stomach, lung and small intestine. It is believed that they can do this by blocking the formation of cancer-causing compounds such as nitroamines, suppressing the activation of carcinogens, and detoxifying cancer-causing agents. It is also suggested for breast cancer, liver cancer and colorectal cancer. (See column about Antioxidants)

Cat’s Claw: This herb supports a body affected by cancer by stimulating the immune system. This additional immune-system boost allows some people to take the full course of chemotherapy needed to prevent recurrence of the disease. As an antioxidant, it supports the body during chemotherapy and radiation treatments, and removes toxic metabolites. A preliminary study in Italy has found that the herb stops mutation of cells in long-term smokers. Cat’s Claw increases white blood cell counts if they are below 4,000 but decreases white blood cell counts if they are above 9,000. This process keeps a cadre of super-charged cancer-fighters focused on the tumor, while not stimulating the body to produce more white cells that can damage noncancerous tissues.

There are several other herbs that may go along with these depending on the type of cancer we are treating. Many people have problems with anemia following chemotherapy. We have a formula "Anemia Helper" to rebuild these vital vitamins and minerals. Other beneficial formulas are Nature’s Antioxidants, Essiac’s Tea, Echinacea Plus (an immune builder), Lymphatic Cancer Tea, and all detoxifying formulas to help with prevention or rebuilding your system.
