A healthy lifestyle helps diminish the probability of developing
breast cancer. Having a child before the age of 30 offers some
protection because of the estrogen-free time period during pregnancy
and lactation.
If you have no control over the above, the next factor might be more
controllable: Read the rest of this entry »

Many, if not most, cancer deaths come as a result of
infection by bacteria, viruses, and fungi- microbes that
normally would be destroyed by the immune system.

In the case of cancer, the immune system becomes severely
suppressed, partly because of the systemic weakening brought
on by the cancer process and partly because of the negative,
toxic effects of conventional cancer treatment – essentially
chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation. Read the rest of this entry »

When President Richard Nixon launched the war on cancer  in his
January 1971 State of the Union, he called for “the same kind of
concentrated effort that split the atom and took man to the moon.”
Yet nearly 40 years and $100 billion in federally funded cancer
research later, it seems the lunar landing was a much less daunting
task.

With spring here, changing in temperature, schedule and
certain habits, our body has you, yet again, adapt to all
this;  which means it all could be a little stressful for
some of us, as the body perceives stress as any change:  in
the outer environment or inner world.

HOW THE BODY DETOXIFIES

Normally, the body has its own internal de-cluttering system, continually detoxifying, pollutants, cellular by- products, harmful chemicals and toxic waste. Here’s how.

LIVER

The liver is our most important detoxifier, as it neutralizes poisons. What it cannot render harmless, it stores – protecting the rest of the body from harm.

KIDNEYS

The kidneys eliminate fluid wastes, maintain electrolyte balance and purify the bloodstream by detoxifying medications, free radicals and toxins found in the blood.

COLON

The colon eliminates solid wastes and absorbs water from foods.

LUNGS

The lungs act as a site of blood filtration and eliminate toxic gases with each respiration.

SKIN

As the largest eliminative organ, every pore of the skin is an escape route for waste material.

GENERAL CLEANSING GUIDELINES

Our bodies are naturally equipped to eliminate toxins. However, as our environment becomes more polluted with an ever-increasing number of synthetic chemicals, our bodies are exposed to a growing number of toxins from food, water, air, household chemicals and even our workplaces. This leads to a gradual accumulation of toxins that can cause symptoms ranging from fatigue, headaches, mood changes, pains, coughs and gastrointestinal problems. Long-term toxic exposure can weaken our systems, increase our susceptibility to infection and eventually lead to chronic illness. To thrive in this environment, our bodies need extra support to detoxify themselves. Read the rest of this entry »

.. it often isn’t always  clear what stress is really about. Many people consider stress to be something that happens to them:   an event such as an injury or a promotion. Others think that stress is what happens to our bodies, minds and behaviours in response to an event (e.g. heart pounding, anxiety, or nail biting). While stress does involve events and our response to them, these are not the most important factors. Our thoughts about the situations in which we find ourselves are the critical factor.
