How to Treat Breast Cancer Without Chemotherapy
In the United States, the most common way to treat breast cancer after surgery is with chemotherapy, a method in which doctors inject a patient with toxic chemicals to kill cancer cells. However, because the chemicals are nondiscriminating, they also kill off healthy cells in the body. But there are other methods of treatment, many of which are natural and free from devastating side effects. Keeping your intake of toxins to an absolute minimum, strengthening your immune system, specific supplementation, proper nutrition and exercise, and avoiding stress are key factors in treating and avoiding cancer.

Take supplements. Some supplements that help treat breast cancer are Modifilan, an all-natural seaweed supplement with powerful anti-cancer elements; calcium D-glucarate, which helps the body eliminate harmful carcinogens and supports healthy cells and the immune system; and Indolplex (with DIM), which supports healthy estrogen metabolism and hormonal balance.

Boost your immune system. Cut out sugar, which depresses the immune system and feeds cancer cells. Drain the lymphatic system, which is involved in the elimination of toxic waste from tissues, with full-body lymph massages and/or bouncing on a small trampoline. Get plenty of rest--lack of sleep causes the stress hormone cortisol to remain elevated, which suppresses the action of our natural killer cells. In addition, love, humor and support from your loved ones have been shown to positively affect the immune system.

Maintain proper nutrition, because the endocrine and digestive systems are intimately connected to each other. Eliminate processed foods and simple carbohydrates, such as white pasta, rice and flour. Eat whole, natural, organic foods that include a balance of protein (fresh-water fish, grass-fed beef, free-range poultry and eggs), complex carbohydrates (vegetables, fruits, legumes and nuts) and good fats (coconut, palm and sesame oils and cold-pressed olive oil). Consume fresh-ground flax seed daily--flax seed contains lignans, which remove excess estrogen and inhibit the growth of cancer tumors. Eat raw garlic, which is antifungal, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and has anticancer properties.

4
Exercise. Move at least 30 minutes every day. When you exercise, even moderately, your body takes in more oxygen, which weakens cancer cells. Include a combination of cardiovascular, strength training and stretching.

5
Detoxify. Regular cleansing of the liver helps rid our bodies of harmful toxins, including excess estrogen, which is stored in the liver. Take liver-supporting herbs, such as milk thistle, dandelion root and artichoke leaf, daily, and do a full-body cleanse four times a year.

6
Meditate and visualize your way to good health. The mind/emotion-body connection is often overlooked, but meditation reduces stress, anxiety and other negative emotions, and boosts the immune system.
