Plants cure cancer, not chemicals
Most people don’t know this (including most doctors), but there has been a complete change in research thinking about treating cancer.
The accumulated amount of scientific evidence has now moved to show that using plants and not chemicals is the solution to reversing the present global cancer epidemic. It really is a “Back to the Future” reality.
Understanding the causes of cancer in the last decade has made us realise that cancer is preventable and even reversible.
That knowledge still hasn’t filtered down to the doctors and surgeons, who still insist the only way of “fighting” cancer is with a knife and chemical weapons of mass destruction.
Since the 1940’s it was believed that people got cancer because of the “bad genes” they inherited from their parents and it was impossible to reverse. With this idea firmly entrenched into the minds of the medical establishment, no effort was made to find out what caused some people to get cancer, and others not to get cancer. This lack of interest in the root cause of cancer enables the medical establishment to continue on its merry way with their collective head in the sand, bombarding the luckless patient with radiation and chemicals that mostly makes the situation worse.
Today though, there are some enlightened (and brave) researchers and doctors who have shown that most cancers are caused by outside influences such as the environment, stress, over processed foods, foods with no or little nutritional values, and other lifestyle based factors that we are able to control. Because we can exert control over many of these things, cancer has now been shown to be reversible to a degree that cutting, irradiating and poisoning hasn’t worked.
Effectively, cancer has been shown to be a direct response to the cancer inducing and toxic environment that surrounds us on a daily basis, coupled with the eating of the fake food that food manufacturers have produced from chemicals and laboratories. Both of these factors have combined to produce the ideal environment in the human body for cancer to grow. The body’s immune system is being overwhelmed by the number of attacks it must deal with on a growing basis.
The authors of a study entitled “The use of plant-derived bioactive compounds to target cancer stem cells and modulate tumor microenvironment” published in Food and Chemical Toxicology in Volume 75, January 2015, Pages 58–70, said
“In particular, plant-derived bioactive nutrients have been seen to positively affect normal cell growth, proliferation and differentiation and also to reverse cancer related epigenetic dysfunctions, reducing tumorigenesis, preventing metastasis and/or increasing chemo and radiotherapy efficacy.”
They also note that after thousands of years of prior use (before the 1940’s) the use of natural plant-based products has moved to the front of medical intervention – the herbalists, shamans, wise women, etc., knowledge is finally being vindicated by those who wanted (and are still trying) to outlaw the use of herbs and plants to heal themselves. Plants cure cancer, not the chemicals we are constantly being fed.
“Virtually, all dietary compounds have the ability to act at the epigenetic level in cancer cells thus influencing the epigenome in a positive or negative way. Particularly, plant derived compounds, such as polyphenols, have the capacity to reverse adverse epigenetic mutations in cancer cells, to inhibit tumorigenesis progression, to prevent the metastatic process or to sensitize cancer cells to chemo and radiotherapy (Vanden Berghe, 2012).”
Shortened version – we are what we eat and surround ourselves with!
This new study highlighted the following points;
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are chemo-radiotherapy resistant, causing tumor relapse.
CSCs are known to reside within specific hypoxic and acidic tumor niches.
Phytocompounds affect CSC self-renewal, metabolism and microenvironment.
Phytocompounds might be exploited for cancer prevention and treatment.
The implications for the future of cancer treatment can be truly revolutionary if these points are followed up and acting upon, without being swept under the carpet and hidden.
The discovery of a sub-population within tumors of cells which are known as cancer stem cells, reveals that our half-century old war on cancer was extremely misguided in its implementation and understanding.
The idea that cancer is simply a byproduct of cells within the body going rogue due to DNA damage, and replicating itself through fundamentally chaotic processes, has now been called into question by the discovery that cancer tumors are actually sophisticated, highly organized communities that express intelligent, survival-based behaviors, even though these behaviors are a throwback to our ancient past.
The medical establishment views cancer as something ‘you have or don’t have,’ and the equivalent of being infected by ‘terrorist-like’ cancer cells that must be treated as an enemy and obliterated by any means necessary. This “necessary” treatment carries on regardless of the collateral damage to the patient.
The emerging and far more specific cancer stem-cell based idea, where cancer is caused primarily by chemical exposure, and dietary incompatibilities which changes the internal cell environment offers a far more promising view of prevention and treatment than is the current norm.
If cancer is not something that just ‘happens to the body,’ due to ‘bad’ inherited genes passed down from distant ancestors, but is something the body does to survive then the current global cancer epidemic starts to make some sense. The world we currently live in is not the world that the body developed in over the last million years or so. The changes in our environment since the 1940’s (when cancer cases were noted to start increasing) have been massive and fast, and the body cannot adapt fast enough.
This is what is causing cancer, we don’t get sick because we have cancer; we get cancer because we are already sick.
I anticipate a time in the not too distant future when the conventional medical establishment freely acknowledges that cancer is a natural response to decades of cumulative exposures to unnatural, evolutionarily unprecedented chemical, stressful and electromagnetic exposures and conditions. Instead of vilifying and violently suppressing the symptom of this perfect storm of toxicity — cancer — enlightened practitioners will learn to address, remove and fix the root causes, focusing on reproducing the conditions that support our genetic blueprint of health and wellness.
Wasabia japonica has been found to be one of the most powerful plants to eat in order to selectively kill cancer stem cells. It must be genuine 100% Wasabia japonica rhizome to have maximum effectiveness and potency. It can be eaten as a paste or taken as capsules.
