Whenever I come across new and important health information I feel obligated to share it. I met an amazing man who had cancer and who is married to a woman now undergoing cancer treatments. I have researched a little on natural remedies in cancer, but his take really hit me hard and made me realize that there are a lot of misconceptions out there. I want to share some statistics he gave me with you.
Your chance at surviving cancer if you do nothing - 18%
Your chance at surviving if you do no modern medicine and only natural/herbal remedies - 20%
Your chance at surviving if you use modern medicine (i.e. surgery to cut out tumor, chemo, etc.) - 80%
Your chance at surviving if you use modern medicine and natural remedies at the same time - 60%
Your chances if using natural remedies for healing during intervals not on chemo - unknown (under research)
He spoke of people saying all kinds of things to do. "Drink lemon juice once a day to be healed" or "Take colloidal silver every day." He had taken the colloidal silver previous to being diagnosed but still got cancer so these comments were a joke. Then he spoke of a common remedy he had found for cancer tumors called a black salve. There are many different types of black salve, but the one he spoke of essentially burns the top layers of skin, causing new skin to grow and though people say they can see the tumor fall off, that is really just dead skin. There is no way to know if it burned deep enough to eliminate the tumor partially, completely, or not at all. It is a dangerous game to play with no diagnostic tools.
I realized many people, possibly even including myself, have had a misconception that natural remedies give a higher potential for living than chemo and medical approaches. The only misconception I think he may have had was that natural remedies could be more harmful than good. This is far from the truth. The one thing to remember to up your chances of recovery is to not mix natural remedies with chemo. Get those medical checkups and use what will help with recoveries, but hold of on using any natural remedy be it essential oils, homeopathy, or herbs, while on chemo and 2 weeks before and after. You wouldn't want to undo parts of the job the chemo needs to do. There is a lot of new research being done in this area with great results.
After listening to many doctors on the subject I am grateful to know where the boundaries are for both natural care and for modern medicine. I will say that the absolute best oils for cancer in my opinion, that have been researched the most, are wild orange oil and frankincense oil. Its been found that after 6 weeks of use tumors will stop growing and in some cases reverse in size. In the research it seemed like the reversal of the tumor was very much dependent upon the genetic DNA code, however the discontinuation of more growth was pretty standard. Even I was able to get rid of a lump on my chest that was causing me so much pain that simply lifting my arm nearly caused me to fall over in pain. Mixing certified pure wild orange and frankincense oil and putting a few drops each on the lump 3 times a day for 4 days was enough for the pain to cease and the lump to completely disappear for me. At this point maybe I would recommend getting that doctor apt for a diagnosis still, but doing this in the meantime while waiting for the appointment. That way at least you can have a greater chance at slowing any potential progress while trying to get a diagnosis (and if your lucky it will change the diagnosis before you get it).
Stories like his make me so grateful for modern medicine. It is true that if we are the absolute healthiest possible and certain factors are met that cancer cannot live in our bodies. It is also true that in general it is nearly impossible to meet every single factor in our polluted and nutrient deficient societies, not to mention the fast paced stressors and emotional states that bring more risk. That doesn't mean we can't try to be our healthiest or prevent life threatening health problems like cancer. His doctors said that care has never been more advanced and easy on people. People still get sick during chemo, but not nearly to the same degree, and their chances of living are much higher.
So here I leave you... a mixed answer. Yes, its safe most of the time, depending on the remedy used and when you use it. No, its not safe during, right before, or right after chemo or radiation treatments; actually counteracting the chemo's effectiveness. I personally think we could all nearly rid our society of cancer if we were to rid our society of stress, pollution, and ultra processed, chemical, colarant, flavorant, and other unnatural additives or types of foods. Whole foods, super foods, organic, raw, probiotic & enzyme rich, etc. These are the types of foods that will prevent our cells from going crazy and getting cancer along with reducing stress, and reducing the rest of our toxin load from our household products and all the pollution. If we all work together for cleaner environment, eating, & home products then, at the least, this world would be a much healthier place to live.
