Juice Therapy to prevent Cancer
 Studies indicate that beta-carotene has potent anti-cancer
properties and may actually reverse precancerous conditions such as oral
leukoplakia, a pattern of abnormal cell growth that often leads to mouth cancer
in people who chew tobacco. Additional studies indicate that other members of
the carotene family may
have similar cancer-fighting potential.
Human body is such a complete, but symptom-less and mind-boggling an entity,
that it is, and still remains a mystery to medical world. Despite
continuous research and relentless efforts by many scientists, diseases like
cancer,
hypertension,
AIDS,
stress/strain still continue to resists treatment. It is
not that lines and modes of treatment are inadequate to meet the challenge posed
by killer diseases. But, the real problem and misfortune lies in their late
detection and when those are detected (and such detection comes per chance only)
by that time, the disease had already wrought damage of irreparable/irreversible
nature. In such sorry and painful state of affairs the doctors and patients are
required to fight a lost battle, to salvage and protect what has been left
behind and how to stop further damage. It is difficult to rectify and make up
for the damage already done but further damage can be arrested, even though for
some time only.
Like
diabetes, cancer has many hypothetical theories, host of causes,
contributory and precipitating factors, and still evades complete treatment,
what to speak of cure. Any growth, of malignant nature, is termed as cancer or
cancerous growth. Contributory factors can be stress,
diet, heredity, virus
infection, drug-use, hormonal imbalance, overuse of
spices, astringents,
alcohol, tobacco, other intoxicants, chronic irritation, professional hazards
and inhalation of poisonous pollutants, atmospheric and chemical carcinogens.
Seat of cancerous growth in a human organ generally determines the causes which
caused cancer. For instance in ladies, chronic leucorrhoeal discharge, uterine
cancerous growths, repeated pregnancies, tumors in
breast give rise to
cancerous malignant growths. Nose, throat, mouth, lips, tongue, larynx, pharynx, oesophagus can have cancer due to tobacco-use, too hot and too pungent
foodstuff. Cancer in liver, intestines, stomach, spleen can be caused by use of
alcohol, drugs or certain medicines and foods. Cancer in brain, eyes, bones and
other organs owes its origin to many of the above and some other factors. Any
wound which discharges pus and has assumed malignant appearance may also turn
out in the form of cancer.
Nature is so kind to all human beings that it continues to send warning
signals of the body to mind. But, when such warning signals use ignored and
neglected, overtly or covertly, the patient is in for greater danger of a
serious disorder. At the very onset of an unusual or recurring symptom(s), at
once seek help of your doctor and once the symptoms have been understood and
disorder deduced, then no time should be wasted to go all out for a specific
line of treatment. Delay will only complicate matters.
First step should be to palliate
pain and restrict further spread of
disease to adjoining tissues and organs. Next step should be to treat the actual
disorder. True and honest rapport between the patient and his doctor cannot be
denied or overlooked. It has been seen that, even after so-called excision
(removal) of cancerous growth, the adjoining tissues continue to be affected and
invaded by post-operative latent growth which often remains dormant and
undetected. So, proper caution, due and necessary treatment and follow up
measures are very necessary to contain the disease. Effort must always be
directed towards further spill over of disease to other healthy organs of the
body.
Juice Therapy
 Surgical interference, radiation, chemotherapy are responsible for weakening
general resistance and immune system of body. Strong and healthy immune system
will help the body to fight out with cancer. Howsoever, expensive or foolproof
the treatment may be, if it fails to sustain and preserve immune system of the
body, no kind of treatment shall be able to take hold of the disease. Switch
over to dietary modification is very imperative for treatment of cancer. Diets,
rich in proteins,
fats,
sugar, meat, should be dispensed with and substituted
with natural nutrients, which are present in fruit and vegetable diets. First
requisite to scavenge the body from toxic elements and also halt production of
such toxins in future. Beta-Carotene is said to prevent cancer and also
stop further advance of this disorder. Green and red fruits and vegetables do
contain, in plenty, beta-carotene and body-system converts beta-carotene into
vitamin 'A'. Take a glassful of
juice of carrot, at least 1-2 times daily, as it
is a protective shield against cancer. Take daily cabbage, kale, cauliflower,
turnips (also sprouted foods), broccoli juice to have carcinogens excreted.
Pungent vegetables like garlic, ginger and garlic have qualities to fight
cancer. Tumors in breasts can be fully cured by the use of oils of fish.
 Strong-flavored onions can be harsh on your social life, but they're
potentially great for fighting cancer. Researchers at Cornell University have
found, in preliminary lab studies, that members of the onion family with the
strongest flavor — particularly New York Bold, Western Yellow and shallots — are
the best varieties for inhibiting the growth of liver and
colon cancer cells.
Iron, Beta-carotene,
selenium,
vitamin
'C',
calcium,
potassium,
vitamin
'E'
can be easily obtained from juice of apple, spinach, green pepper, parsley,
garlic, turnip, kale, orange, broccoli, carrot, collard greens and all the said
nutrients are preventive and curative of cancer. They arrest further spread of
cancerous growth.
Nutrients, such as
zinc,
iron,
vitamin B-6, vegetables that supplement fibre,
selenium are all essential ingredients to provide immunity and also help in
restoration thereof, protect
liver from toxins and malfunctioning, promote free
movement of bowels and also promotion elimination process of body, to keep it
free from toxins and rubbish foreign bodies. Food regulation should serve to
eliminate toxins, retard further progress of disease and finally cure.
Food to avoid
Patients should avoid, as far as possible, yeast rich foods; all
confectionery stuff, frozen and canned food, crystal (refined) sugar or, for
that matter, sugar in any from (even sucrose and fructose). Use sparingly dried
meats, poultry, fish, peanuts, milk-products (excepting yoghurt or butter, but
that also in limited and moderate quantity only).
Fresh Is Best
 It's important to note that when experts recommend
juices, they're not talking about the prepackaged
juices sold in supermarkets. Processed
juices bear very little resemblance to fresh juice, either nutritionally
or aesthetically.
While fresh
juices and prepackaged ones may start out equal, all store-bought
juices are pasteurized, a process that involves heating the juice at
very high temperatures to maximize shelf life. While pasteurization is necessary
to prevent spoiling, it destroys many of the juice's fragile vitamins and
enzymes. While store-bought
juices are better for you than cola, coffee or alcohol, they aren’t
considered to have much therapeutic value.
For maximum benefit, drink your juice immediately after
you make it; within a half-hour is best.
Juices stored in the refrigerator lose their nutritional value rather
quickly. As soon as a fruit or vegetable is processed in your juicer, the
natural
enzymes in the juice begin to break down the other nutrients. Because
vegetables contain more
enzymes than fruits, their nutrients are depleted faster.
The National Cancer Institute recommends eating at least
five servings of fruits and vegetables a day.
