Your Nutritional
Health and Cancer
Vitamin,
mineral, enzyme imbalances and other nutritional deficiencies accumulate
in our bodies over a long period of time and are usually the result
of many years of abuses such as eating too many refined foods, fats,
sugars, etc. and consuming too few fresh foods and too little fiber.
These
deficiencies can eventually change body chemistry and cause a weakening
of the immune system. Since a weak immune system cannot defend you
properly, you become more susceptible to all kinds of degenerative
diseases, including cancer, a disease that is characterized by uncontrolled
cell growth and by immune system weakness. Conversely, strengthening
your immune system nutritionally is a good way to lessen your chances
of contracting serious illnesses such as cancer.
If
you already have cancer, nutritional improvements can make a difference
to your recovery. Sadly, traditional methods of treating
cancer (surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, etc.) are less than
50% effective when they are the only treatment utilized. By complementing
your conventional treatment with diet and lifestyle changes which
will help bring your body into nutritional balance, you can begin
to create an internal environment where cancer and other degenerative
diseases are more vigorously repelled by a rejuvenated, nutritionally
strong immune system.
Restoring
nutritional balance is a very individual problem. Because we are
each biochemically unique, our needs for specific nutrients vary
greatly. Also, as we age our body chemistry changes and requires
that we take a very different approach to nutrition in our
middle and later years. Nutritional analysis, such as my symptomatology
questionnaire provides, is an important first step in determining
the status of your nutritional health and beginning a customized
program to correct your unique nutritional deficiencies.
Diet
should be the prime focus of any changes you make. As well, there
are vitamin, mineral and herbal supplements and concentrated superfoods
that can help you regain your nutritional strength. But they must
be the right ones for you -- the ones that your body needs. Please
note that I do not sell foods, vitamins or any other nutritional
products -- I provide nutritional analysis and counseling. My recommendations
usually include specific foods, vitamins and nutritional supplements
that are available from your local suppliers.
