These methods of detox include: Enemas: The administration of enemas, particularly those comprised of coffee, decrease pain and make for faster healing. They stimulate gut wall and liver enzymes. They also improve bile flow. Enemas help your body get rid of toxic residues from drugs and eliminate any diseased tissue. Castor oil: Helps stimulate bile flow and boost the liver’s ability to filter blood. It can be administered as an enema or taken orally. Digestive enzymes: Aid in digestion and help the body absorb nutrients and excrete waste products. Raw foods are rich in natural enzymes. There are digestive supplements that you can use as well. Exercise: A health discussion can’t conclude without talking about the benefits of exercise. Regular exercise boosts the immune system and reduces inflammation. A strong immune system helps prevent cancer cells from forming. It also attacks cells that have turned cancerous. Exercise can help boost lymphatic circulation. The lymphatic system is responsible for carrying waste products out and away from your tissues. Improving lymphatic circulation supports the immune system. Exercise can also help reduce stress. Stress is yet another undermining influence on the health of the immune response. It will wear your body’s defenses down if left unchecked. We’ll look at managing stress separately. But exercise helps release all‐important “feel good” endorphins that work to reduce the effects of stress. People who exercise have a lower incidence of cancer. Very active postmenopausal women who engaged in vigorous activity for at least six hours a week lowered their risk of breast cancer by 30 percent. xviii The risk of colorectal cancer for both men and women was found to be reduced 40–50 percent for those who exercised vigorously on a regular basis. xix A Finnish study followed a group of middle‐aged men for almost two decades. None of the study participants had cancer at the start. By the end, 181 died from cancer. Researchers found that those men who exercised strenuously at least 30 minutes a day were the least likely to develop cancer. They reduced their risk of dying from cancer by 50 percent. xx Exercise isn’t just for people trying to prevent cancer. People who are currently coping with it can also benefit from incorporating exercise into their daily regimen. Exercise is recommended to keep up physical functioning and combat the loss of muscle strength. About 70 percent of cancer patients who are receiving conventional means of treatment report experiencing fatigue. xxi This may require that a patient reduce their normal exercise efforts. But scaling back should not make patients feel like they’re getting any less benefit from exercise. Women receiving radiation treatment for breast cancer commonly experience a decrease in erythrocyte levels following treatment. This leads to fatigue, depression, and reduced physical functioning. Erythrocyte levels actually increased for those who participated in a program of moderate‐level aerobic exercise. xxii Exercise can also help promote energy levels. It may also cut the risk of dying from cancer. For men with prostate cancer, a vigorous exercise regimen can reduce their risk of dying by 12 percent. xxiii VISIT US ONLINE AT WWW.INHRESEARCH.COM Page 10
Supplement Your Diet A healthy diet supplies the body with nutrients to help it fight disease. But even your diet may need a little support from supplements. There’s a wide range to choose from. Antioxidants may be the most important. They’re strong anti‐cancer weapons. They’re responsible for eliminating free radicals that can cause cellular damage and oxidation. Antioxidants also protect DNA and cellular membranes from carcinogens. They rein in the reproduction of altered cells. And they fight the efforts of cancer‐promoting agents. Antioxidants also boost immune system function. One well‐known antioxidant is vitamin C. High vitamin C intake has been linked to a lower risk of several of cancers. A 40 percent reduction in cancer risk was found for people with the highest intakes of both vitamin C and beta carotene, another antioxidant. xxiv Vitamin C also treats cancer. The vitamin can administered via IV with very promising results. One study found that tumors shrunk from this treatment. Vitamin C worked to selectively target and kill cancer cells while leaving healthy cells alone. xxv Vitamin E is another antioxidant. Low levels of vitamin E have been linked to the development of cancers. Gammatocopherol is one form of vitamin E. It’s a powerful anti‐inflammatory that may help prevent cancer. xxvi Use a supplement that contains mixed tocopherols. Take up to 400 IU per day. Selenium is a mineral and antioxidant that many are deficient in. It’s been found to have cancer‐preventing properties. It also stops the chemical process that creates cell‐damaging free radicals. It prevents tumors from developing. It helps prevent damaged DNA from replicating. In addition, it’s been linked to the prevention of several types of cancer. xxvii The current recommended dose is 200 micrograms per day. Vitamin A is another antioxidant that can help. It boosts immune system function. Adult males should aim for 3,000 IU per day. Adult females should get 2,333 IU per day. Curcumin, in addition to being in turmeric, is also available in supplement form. It helps regulate the functioning of tumor‐suppressing genes. A study found that curcumin can halt cancer cell invasion and metastasis in the lung by activating a tumor‐suppressor. xxviii In INH Health Watch, we featured an article about how turmeric can cure prostate cancer. Use Stress Management Therapies It’s impossible to avoid every form of stress. What is possible is to learn how to manage your body’s response to stressful situations. This is a very important part of preventing and fighting cancer. Stress can have a negative effect on your immune system’s ability to function. Many illnesses can develop in part as a result of stress. Your body is wired to respond to every threat that you face. A natural disaster can cause the same stress response as finding out you have a late fee on a missed bill. Your body doesn’t physically know the difference. The protective fightor‐flight mechanism goes into action in both situations. The body releases cortisol, which boosts the immune system’s ability to respond to a threat. It’s good to have cortisol in your system. But a stress response can actually wear down the system over time. Your body can become stuck in a heightened state of alert. That fight‐or‐flight response can turn on and never shut off. Instead of a survival response, it’s an everyday response. That’s when it becomes detrimental to your health. High levels of cortisol can interfere with your moods and your sleep. Lack of sleep weakens immune response, further eroding your health. VISIT US ONLINE AT WWW.INHRESEARCH.COM Page 11
