"A cancer cell is like a terrorist and thief of health in our bodies and the immune system is the law enforcement that needs to be efficient at arresting it," said Christiana Paul. M.S. According to Paul a cancer cell is like any criminal, there are no guarantees that it will be caught, but our chances increase if we put up many roadblocks: if we prevent it from hiding and feeding, from reproducing and multiplying and if we have a strong large police force with good weapons that are vigilant 24 hours a day. This police force is represented by our immune system, our cells and nutrition can affect it positively or negatively."
Her analogy creates the big picture on how important it is to minimize the carcinogenic load in our bodies. We have to be vigilant to avoid both environmental and dietary toxins that can affect us negatively in multiple ways. A good idea would be to limit overexposure to the harsh rays of the sun, radiation from cell phones and computers, skin care products and the water we use to drink and shower. Avoid pesticides, oxidized fats, burned or smoked foods and meats including burnt toast and roasted coffee, artificial additives, dyes , sweeteners, preservatives and cookware such as Teflon. It is also advisable to refrain from excessive aerobic exercise which tends to produce free radicals and increase DNA damage.
Neutralising and eliminating toxins in the body are necessary in order to relieve the body of its toxic load and protect yourself from disease. For a healthy liver, squeeze half of a lemon and dilute with 8 ounces of water, drink that up first thing in the morning to kick start your day. Drink lots of H2O ensuring you drink the pure kind and not the water from plastic bottles, increase your intake of fibre and have adequate protein throughout your day. Stimulate your lymphatic system by the use of an elliptical machine or a trampoline which serves to get your body's drainage system to function efficiently. Make sure to sweat!
Drainage is first and detoxification is second on the list. Saunas, homeopathy, herbs, juice fasts and chelation, all help to pull the heavy metals out of the tissues, into the blood and out through the liver, kidneys and lymph system. Vitamin C helps to neutralize the toxins in the body, clean and stimulate the liver and immune system. Mistletoe or Iscador is a powerful anticancer treatment which also builds up the immune system. For an extra boost to your immune system, use herbs like Echinacea and Goldenseal or various mushroom extracts and do add Glutathione, the body's master antioxidant to your supplements. Glutathione protects against cancer by supporting the body's immune system, neutralizes free radicals and moves cancer causing toxins out of the body.
