Living with cancer in a healthier manner


How does a tumor grow?

A tumor is rapid multiplication of cells in an abnormal way in any part of the body forming a dense mass or a lump. These cells can be restricted to a particular body part while constantly damaging it and is known as benign tumor.

But when it becomes more extensive in nature and starts expanding to other vital organs to disturb their functioning it is termed as malignant tumor or cancer. Cancer is common worldwide and is known to affect both men and women equally.

What are the predisposing factors of cancer?

  •          Rigorous farming responsible for diminution of vital minerals and trace elements from soil.
  •          Microwaves, cell phones, televisions, laptops continuously release harmful electromagnetic waves which are ever present around us.
  •          Pesticides induced food, air and water chemical irritants and artificial hormones are prime sources of cancer producing cells.
  •          Hereditary presence of cancer often seems to get worse with too much medications and intake of toxic materials.
  •          High calorie junk food containing negligible nutritive value.

Why are alternative methods more opted for?

The best of alternative therapies are imparted to the patients at different cancer treatment and wellness centers. Patients being well aware of the harmful consequences of radiation therapy and chemotherapy are turning away and also want to take fewer medications. Not only this, many patients experience excess tiredness and mental fatigue with traditional course of treatment.

Thus a holistic treatment works like a wonder to treat not only the cancer but patient’s mind and soul too. 

What are the essential components of treatment protocol?

 There are three major steps to cancer treatment. Cancer institutes implements these non invasive steps and give maximum benefits to the patients. They are: 

  •          Concentrating on spiritual and energetic sources.
  •          Removing the root cause of emotional and mental aspects during cancer development.
  •          Taking charge of the body systems by detoxifying, enhancing nutrition and promoting more and more healing naturally.
