Unless the tumor is somehow life threatening I cannot imaging any reason for surgery on a stage 1 tumor other than that is the recommendation of the failed mainstream orthodoxy that attempts to slash, burn or poison away a symptom without addressing the underlying causes that led to the tumor.
Fortunately for your mother, the symptom (the tumor) has been found at a very early state that is telling us there is an underlying problem that must be addressed. There are many natural and alternative ways to get rid of the tumor and I have seen some good suggestions here already. My own would be to start off with something I am currently researching and have been thus far amazed to see how well it destroys cancer and tumore almost overnight: Inositol/IP6. There are many sources of this product, but the one I am researching is a product called Cell Forte (available at UtopiaSilver.com and perhaps elsewhere) which contains inositol/IP6 and also has maitake mushroom and cat's claw, themselves both potent immune boosters and cancer fighters,
Next I would take a look at what we know about cancer and what we can naturally do to address each area. Even though I have written a book about a remedy that I feel is the very best cancer fighter and immune booster on the planet, I have always advocated a multi-pronged approach since cancer comes in many forms and has many causes and I just feel that the more bullets you have in your gun, the better the odds are to win the battle. And I am sure you mother will win this battle!
Let's look then at what we know about cancer. We know that:
• The development of cancer indicates that our natural first line of defense, our immune system, has been defeated and that the presence of either toxins and pathogens, or some imbalance in our bodies have led to the development of cancer and enabled it to gain an upper hand.
• Cancer cannot develop without an impaired liver.
• Cancer cannot survive in an alkaline environment, nor can it survive in a highly oxygenated environment.
• Detoxing and cleansing our colons and liver helps restore balance, prepares our bodies to better be able utilize natural immune boosters and cancer fighters and paves the way to rebuilding our livers and immune systems.
• Cancer cells are diseased, impaired and/or beset by pathogens and have lost the ability to to be die naturally via cellular apoptosis and be replaced by healthy cells. These cancerous cells simply become abnormal and outlive the other cells in their normal cell life/replacement cycle and end up crowding out a territory over time.
• Iodine, vitamin D, and potassium are all vital to beat and ward off cancer.
• Fresh air, pure water and sunshine are also vital to maintain healthy bodies which can fight off and beat conditions like cancer.
• A natural diet of uncontaminated raw vegetables and raw fruits, with plenty of omega-3’s and balanced nutrition has been proven to be effective in numerous natural anti-cancer protocols.
• A great number of natural botanicals and supplements, such as those containing beta glucans and other long-chain polysacharrides, the
Oleander remedy I have written about,
Colloidal Silver , Inositol (IP-6), the ABM mushroom, South Africa's "Cancer Bush" sutherlandia frutescans, cat's claw, pau d'arco, corialus versicolor mushroom, and many others have been proven to boost the immune system, destroy pathogens, protect our cells, and beat cancer.
• Sugar feeds cancer.
And so, when we go to an oncologist and are diagnosed with cancer, as your mother did, what is the prescribed treatment? Does it incorporate ANY of the above elements? No, sadly it does not. Our doctor prescribes what he or she has been taught: cut out, radiate or poison the symptom and do nothing to address the underlying causes and natural imbalances that led to the symptom.
As a result, the way is paved for the return of the cancer or the introduction of another cancer or serious condition. Even worse, the road to further illness is often made easier due to the damage to the immune system and major organs caused by the treatment of the symptom.
Nature, on the other hand, enables us to address virtually every area of knowledge and concern. Here is my suggested protocol based on what nature has to offer:
• As soon as possible, cleanse the body to get rid of built up toxins like heavy metals and pesticides, as well as the undigested food, fecal matter and
Gallstones that build up in the body by cleansing your colon and liver and by chelation to rid the body of heavy metals. Such contaminations are breeding grounds for, and causes of, disease and illness. A toxic and unclean body weakens the body's immune system that should be your first line of defense. Plus, once cleansed, the body is much more receptive to the good measures you take to rebuild your immune system and fight disease.
• Cleanse your environment to the greatest extent possible and eliminate bad habits. In an ideal world, you would move to the country where there was plenty of fresh air and sunshine and less stress. In the real world you may not find that possible, so eliminate common toxins in your household, workplace and other places you spend time.
• If one has mercury
Amalgam fillings in their teeth, have them replaced. In many instances, this step alone has led to elimination of cancer.
• Immediately eliminate bad habits and begin building build good ones so that you will make sure that you no longer have habits that weaken your immune system and that you will be able to build your body to fight and conquer illness. A sedentary lifestyle with a poor diet, lack of pure water, sunshine and fresh air, and constant exposure to toxins will in time lead to bad health conditions. Remember, bad health habits are open invitations for illness and disease to enter your body.
• Begin and maintain a healthy immune-boosting and cancer fighting diet. A good balanced diet, pure water, fresh air, sunshine and exercise are some of the essentials. You will find that a good diet does not have to be a bad tasting diet – far from it! However, it should be noted that the very best and most
healthy Diet is one that is close to the diet our ancestors evolved to utilize: lots of fresh and uncooked vegetables, fruits, nuts, roots and tubers, and fish and meat uncontaminated by growth hormones, artificial fertilizers or pesticides – and little or no grain or dairy products. It should be noted that of all the foods, essentially only raw vegetables and fruits contribute to an alkaline pH.
• Rebuild and strengthen the body's natural immune system. It is very likely that a weakened immune system contributed to your illness in the first place. It is absolutely certain that a rebuilt and strengthened immune system will help you beat your illness and keep it at bay. Again, good diet, nutrition and habits are all important – they lay the foundation for a strong and healthy immune system. However, they are not enough by themselves. You should build a good foundation and then make your body a healthy fortress against disease and illness. Quite simply, disease and illness hate healthy hosts. The stronger your immune system is, the harder it is for disease to survive and grow. And, to be the very strongest you can be, you need extra measures in the form of supplements as well as the healthiest foods.
• Cleanse, restore and protect the liver before, during and after your anti-cancer and disease battle. Cancer cannot develop unless the liver is impaired to begin with. Plus, an effective cancer fighting regimen will result in the release of a cascade of toxins that are released when cancer cells die. Such a release can overwhelm an already impaired liver and can even be fatal if measures are not taken to protect and regenerate the liver. Some of the very best anti-oxidants to used to protect and regenerate the liver are the ones used in the Berkson Clinical Study: Milk Thistle (silymarin), alpha lipoic acid and selenium.
• Maintain an alkaline pH and get plenty of oxygen to the cellular level. Cancer cannot survive in the presence of an alkaline cellular pH level, nor can it survive in the presence of highly oxygenated cells. Dr. Johanna Budwig of Germany has shown that for proper cellular utilization of oxygen to take place, our diets must contain adequate amounts of unsaturated fatty acids.
• Make sure you have plenty of iodine, potassium and Vitamin D. All have been proven to be essential in beating and avoiding cancer. As mentioned above, cancer cells have lost the ability to be shut off by the body in what is called cellular apoptosis. These cancerous cells simply become abnormal and outlive the other cells in their normal cell life/replacement cycle and end up crowding out a territory over time.
Iodine goes in and both does away with the surrounding cyst where cancer has set up residence and then also goes in and allows the specific shut down of the individual cells that are abnormal, diseased, or beset w/ pathogens to make room for new cells.
• Drink plenty of pure water and get plenty of fresh air and sunshine. Water is essential for all healthy life; however, regular tap water contains trace amounts of hundreds to thousands of pesticides, carcinogens and other industrial pollutants. For that reason, the author recommends only the purest drinking water, such as reverse osmosis filtered water. Don't overdo the sunshine, but sunshine is essential to the production of vitamin D, and, strange as it may sound, has been found to be essential in warding off melanoma as well as other cancers..
• Exercise in moderation. Regular exercise does not have to be grueling, but it is essential. Exercise stimulates the immune system, stimulates the production of natural human growth hormone, stimulates the production of hormones and pheromones that make us happier and healthier, and simply leads to a longer and happier life period. Innumerable studies have demonstrated the overall health benefits of exercise and the negative effects of a sedentary lifestyle lacking in exercise. It is not a coincidence that studies have shown up that those who exercise only a few hours each week have up to 50% less chance of developing many different kinds of cancer.
• The next element of beating one's disease and keeping it at bay is to go on the attack. As a matter of fact, all of the elements of the this anti-cancer and disease protocol are elements of attack, because they make the body strong and inhospitable to disease. What I am talking about here is more than just making the body inhospitable to your disease – I am talking about going on the attack and wiping it out! In the case of cancer, there are many very potent anti-cancer supplements. such as the ones listed above and several others. One such supplement, named
OPC herbal cancer cure (not to be confused with the European anti-oxidant of the same name), based on a remedy I have researched and written about, has been used for the past three years in South Africa to treat HIV and cancer. Of approximately 350 HIV patients, all are still alive and well with their symptoms either reversed or stabilized. Of 80 cancer patients, some in very late stages, 72 are alive and well and either cancer free or with their cancers in remission and tumors shrinking. Of the 8 that did not survive, 5 were in their very final days and could not hold down the supplement. Another three succumbed to organ failure as a likely result of prior traditional Western treatment via chemo. Compare that with the results of any mainstream medicine or treatment!
• Remember, what you avoid can be just as important as what you consume: Avoid
Sugar to the greatest extent possible.
Sugar feeds cancer and other illnesses and causes a myriad of other health problems. Refined
Sugar is also the number one single cause of health problems in the entire world! Likewise avoid bread and other items containing bleached white flour, which is essentially empty and harmful calories that convert to sugar once ingested. Other items to avoid include non-fermented soy, pork, MSG, ALL charred foods and foods cooked at high temperature, aluminum and coated cookware, micro-waved food, food in plastic containers and styrofoam.
• The final key to winning your battle is your mental attitude. Remove as much stress from your life as you can and believe that you are going to win. Stress and worry accomplish nothing – worse, they are actually allies of illness and disease. You have surely heard the term "stress, the silent killer"? It's true! So you must do whatever it takes to remove stress from your life and make your mental attitude your ally. Meditate, take yoga, change jobs, retire, go fishing, find a pleasant hobby – do whatever you must to remove stress and have a positive mental outlook. Just remember, anyone who introduces or keeps worry and stress in your life is neither a friend nor an ally during this fight. And make no mistake, it is a fight - likely the most important one of your life. But it is a fight you can and will win. Think it, believe it and live it!
Some in the field of natural health will tell you that you can beat cancer through diet alone, or through diet and de-toxing. In many instances that is true, and some of the most effective and popular natural anti-cancer protocols, such as the Budwig Diet, are based on such a premise.
However, in my opinion, the more weapons you have in your natural arsenal, the greater your chances of success will be. That is why I advocate including one or more of the powerful natural supplements that have been proven to beat cancer and boost the immunes system, and which address what we know about cancer.
Our depleted soils and the introduction of modern industrial toxins and contaminants makes it hard to build a strong enough immune system through diet alone. Our immune systems were not designed to handle the multitude of modern toxins they now face, which is why cancer is largely a modern disease.
Some final notes:
First, the
Oleander remedy I have written about has been extremely effective against stomach cancers. You can make the remedy at home for only pennies but you must be careful and follow directions since
Oleander is a highly toxic plant in raw form. Although the directions are in my book, you do not have to purchase it to find them. They are posted freely on the net at the International Wellness Directory
http://www.mnwelldir.org/docs/cancer1/altthrpy3.htm
as well as at the non-commercial "oleandersoup" Yahoo Health Forum I moderate
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/oleandersoup/
which I invite you to join if you want to know more about oleander and visit with some of the people who have used it successfully.
More than one poster recommended my friend Webster Kehr's excellent site
http://www,cancertutor.com
On that site you will find the oleander remedy rated as a "Strong Stage 3 Treatment" and Webster will tell you that he would give it his highest rating if it had a 24/7 support group, which he requires to give a Stage 4 rating. I urge you to visit his site, it is one of the very best and most informative around.
Next, regardless of what else one might do, I would be sure to include
Colloidal Silver in any treatment plan. It has a long history of success in helping beat cancer and it is quite deadly to viruses and single celled pathogens.
And finally, I want to reiterate and emphasize that surgery does nothing to address the root causes of the cancer. In fact, it often hastens the spread of a cancer that otherwise could have been contained and conquered. Only when the tumor is life threatening or there is a need to buy more time in order to correct the underlying imbalances in the body would surgery ever be a consideration for me, and that does not appear to be the case for your mother.
It is a blessing that she has been diagnosed so early and I wish her the very best.
Live long, live healthy, live happy!
