A story of a tumor reducing in size with diet alone!
Yesterday when I was treating a patient of mine at my office in Livermore, he told me about his friend who was diagnosed with cancer. His story was amazing! This guy who was in his 20’s had felt pain around his rib region and went into to his doctor to find out what was going on. They found it to be a tumor but because of it’s large size and location, the doctors did not want to surgically go in and risk injuring the ribs and the nerves around it. Chemotherapy and radiation was also not a choice that the doctors wanted to preform but they had advised him to try a special diet for cancer called the Budwig diet . The theory of this diet is to mix flax seed oil and organic cottage cheese together (protein fat blend) which is suppose to help to kill cancer cells.
As crazy as this sounds, my patient explained that after 6 weeks of his friend doing the diet religiously, the tumor was reduced by almost 50%! This story he told me reminded me of how amazing the human body’s ability is to take care of injuries and sickness by having the right ingredients.
What are these ingredients to keep the human body healthy and able to take care of the billion functions and processes it takes care of? It’s simpler than we think and it’s around us all the time but here are a few that are necessary:
- Diet-What you put into your body for fuel affects the functioning of every organ. Making sure that you have a diet full of a variety of fruits and vegetables is mandatory. Taking a multi-vitamin that is absorbed in your body will also help with keeping your body up to speed with the many vitamins and nutrients it needs
- Water-I know that everyone knows it is good to drink water, but because we are made up of 80% water, it is even more important to drink fresh water more regularly and make an extra effort to prevent dehydration from coffee, tea, energy drinks that are so popular today
- Anti-oxidants: Found in olive oil, berries, grape-leaves, fish oils and a whole list of products, anti-oxidants are vital to counteract the toxic affects of free-radicals (bi product of chemical processes in your body) that act to destroy cells in the body.
- Keep your body’s communication working: The nerves are the communication link between the brain and organs of the body. Making sure that your nerves are able to send important messages to organs to fight off cancer cell growth is just as vital as eating right. Chiropractic adjustments help to keep this communication link from breaking down.
Many serious illnesses such as cancer, heart disease and diabetes can be prevented and treated by taking care of the one precious body you have. Remember this fact the next time you reach for unhealthy foods!
