(The bottom half of this document outlines holistic and alternative treatments for cancer of various types)
Cancer is taking a little too big of a bite out of my family and friends. Katy fought the good fight and stunned the medical community with the 10 years she battled AFTER they told her she wouldn’t make it through till Christmas (less than 3 months) but Cancer never met Katy before and Katy was a fierce opponent! The one question everyone used to ask was what can we gift her with? So the list began…
Here is a handy list of ideas to gift to anyone battling cancer:
Hypoallergenic, unscented hand lotion, Unscented hand sanitizer (chemotherapy can weaken the immune system, so hand sanitizer comes in handy), Tissue travel packs, Mints, Popsicles, Chapstick, Microwaveable heat/ice bag,
Neck pillow, Eye mask (he or she may want to take a nap or take a break from the bright lights), Calming essential oils, like lavender, jasmine, bergamot and ylang-ylang, Energizing citrus oils, such as orange or grapefruit,
Reusable plastic cutlery (chemotherapy can impact taste receptors and cause a metallic taste, so many people undergoing treatment prefer plastic utensils)
Fleece blanket (thin, easy to transport, machine washable) Hat or scarf,
Journal (“We do a lot of journaling in our community at Cancer Wellness,” she says. “There is a lot of research to support the notion that journaling has a positive impact on physical well-being. University of Texas at Austin psychologist and researcher James Pennebaker contends that regular journaling strengthens immune cells, called T-lymphocytes.”) It also gives you a place to write down the names of doctors and nurses who come into your room and make notes about what they say and even how you feel about them.
Coloring or activity book for adults to promote mindfulness, stress relief and relaxation, Pens and colored pencils,
Earpods to listen to an audio book or movie.
Personal note, even if it just says, “I care about you.”
Coconut water (helps with hydration and maintaining healthy pH levels) Ginger candy (great natural remedy for nausea), Decaffeinated herbal teas.
Caster Oil: You can use it to clear the glands..use packs under your arms and on your chest or abdomen…to clear cancer cells.
Celtic Sea Salt (NOT TABLE SALT)(Remember, CANCER feeds off of sugar and bacteria that sits in the gut… but is neutralized by Celtic Sea Salt.) Quercetin Supplement (great cancer fighting properties)
Pineapple (Anti-cancerous, cell regeneration, anti inflammatory, good for sinuses, digestion, dirreah, swelling, and more.)
Rosemary Tea & Dandelion Tea (Studies have also investigated the effects of rosmary and carnosic acid on cancer. They have found that the two acids may have antitumor properties and even slow the growth of leukemia, breast, and prostate cancer cells )
Best book ever written on fighting disease: “The China Study”. Seriously, every person in AMerica should read this book. It is a bit older but it is life changing. In the China Study it details how each country eats and what they eat then compares it to the sickness that are prevalent in that country. Then they compare that data to all the data from every country. USA has the most cancer..and we also have the most processed foods and sugar in our diets. After reading this book you will change the way you eat. Although, to be fair, it is a tedious read and you probably would do well to commit to just a few pages at a time.
Baking Soda because Cancer loves acid and cannot survive in an alkaline environment…so adding baking soda to teas, soups, beans, or whatever you can get it into helps.
Money to pay for parking. Door Dash Gift Card, Cleaning Service for when they are too weak to do it, Daily parking in the medical center really adds up fast.
A glass version of a Stanley Cup, (because chemo patients are struggling with a metallic taste in everything) try switching to deep well water and not city water for full even better cleansing effects.
Extension cord and/or battery pack to recharge phone. In treatment rooms the outlet is seldom convenient.
Book of devotions for encouragement. Try my own book from Amazon: ECHO DEVOTIONS FOR CHRISTIAN WOMEN: When the example of our lives calls out to the world, what is it we hear when the world calls back to us?: Friends, Christian: 9798373192538: Amazon.com: Books
Cooling Cap: The cooling cap may reduce or eliminate the hair loss associated with chemo by reducing or preventing the uptake of the chemo agents by the hair follicles, which is what normally kills them & leads to hair loss. The patient puts one on just before each chemo session to chill their scalp & prevent/reduce the uptake. Long chemo sessions may require two so that as one ‘thaws’ out, it can be swapped out with a fresh one. They are reusable/ refreezable. They are great for headaches too.
What not to include: Sugary snacks, processed foods, artificially scented items, processed meats and all soft cheeses. Avoid foods salted with table salt. Avoid metal drinkware and utensils.
To take it one step further, go for an in person visit. Don’t wait for them to tell you how you can help. Just jump right in and clean the dishes, start some laundry, put things away in their house. If you are not close enough for that sort of thing think about uber eats or a housekeeping service. When you are too weak to move around little things out of place across the room can really nag at you. Your loved one needs to save their energy for allowing their body to fight sickness..not for dishes and laundry and picking up the house.
If you are into holistic medicine, here are a few rough draft notes on the subject to help you begin a few information searches of your own: (I am not an expert, do not presume I know ANYTHING on the subject, my knowledge is based only on my own experience with family members who have battled cancer. Some won..some lost.
“THE CHINA STUDY”
This book is a tedious read but VERY, VERY life changing. All other books about diet, herbals, disease and similar subjects refer to this epic study. Everyone who has ever been diagnosed with any sickness or disease needs to read this.
Great video about holistic treatment of cancer: Cancer Causes and Treatment–Barbara O’Neill – YouTube
and this powerful video that shows how parasites respond to cayenne pepper: Find ‘cayenne pepper on parasites’ on TikTok | TikTok Search
Starve CANCER: Cancer loves glucose, so cut all sugar out of your diet. 6 weeks no sugar. No honey, eat beans, legumes, vegetables, and reduce acidic foods by adding baking soda. Also important to note that cancer feeds off parasites in the body, get rid of the parasites and heavy metals and you’ll cut off cancer.
Barbara O’Neil recommends “RED CLOVER” (The Herbal Scalpel) to remove benign tumors. Use 1 teaspoon of tea to 1 cup of water…drink 1 litre per day.
For SKIN CANCER use “Black Salve” (Primary ingredient: Bloodroot, aka “Canceema”) Put a TINY DOT of black salve on affect skin and cover with a bandage for 24 hours. Then remove the bandage and the area, if truly cancerous, will be red and irritated. Leave it uncovered and DO NOT add more black salve. Wait and watch. Over the course of a week it will begin to heal leaving a small pit or cavity. Over the next three month it should heal completely, if not, you can then repeat the process..but NOT SOONER. (Do NOT test it out on a healthy area like I did, that stuff is very potent)
Caster Oil 2X daily dabbed on skin for 3 months will address skin cancer..but not as quickly or as radically as the black salve.
Ted Talk about using Radio Frequencies to treat cancer: Shattering cancer with resonant frequencies: Anthony Holland at TEDxSkidmoreCollege (youtube.com)
A few notes about using sound frequency to treat cancer: In the past century, there have been many attempts to treat cancer with low levels of electric and magnetic fields. We have developed noninvasive biofeedback examination devices and techniques and discovered that patients with the same tumor type exhibit biofeedback responses to the same, precise frequencies. Intrabuccal administration of 27.12 MHz radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic fields (EMF), which are amplitude-modulated at tumor-specific frequencies, results in long-term objective responses in patients with cancer and is not associated with any significant adverse effects. Intrabuccal administration allows for therapeutic delivery of very low and safe levels of EMF throughout the body as exemplified by responses observed in the femur, liver, adrenal glands, and lungs. In vitro studies have demonstrated that tumor-specific frequencies identified in patients with various forms of cancer are capable of blocking the growth of tumor cells in a tissue- and tumor-specific fashion. Current experimental evidence suggests that tumor-specific modulation frequencies regulate the expression of genes involved in migration and invasion and disrupt the mitotic spindle. This novel targeted treatment approach is emerging as an appealing therapeutic option for patients with advanced cancer given its excellent tolerability. Dissection of the molecular mechanisms accounting for the anti-cancer effects of tumor-specific modulation frequencies is likely to lead to the discovery of novel pathways in cancer.
The Budwig Diet is an unproven anticancer treatment developed by the German biochemist Dr. Johanna Budwig in the 1950s but MANY people today swear by its effectiveness. The diet consists of multiple daily servings of flaxseed oil and cottage cheese, as well as vegetables, fruits and juices. Processed foods, meats, most dairy products and sugar are prohibited. (25 grams a day may reduce tumor growth in breast and prostate cancer) Go check out some of the miracle stories on TikTok and Instagram..they are pretty convincing and it’s so cheap and easy why wouldn’t you at least include it in your routine?
Budwig Diet: two to one ratio of cottage cheese and flaxseed oil mixed with an immersion blender for a smooth consistency. And add a tablespoon of freshly ground flax seed stirred in.
Baking Soda for Cancer? Cancer loves acid and cannot survive in an alkaline environment, so consider neutralizing your gut periodically to squash cancer like a bug. Speaking of bugs, it is speculated that parasites living in your gut are a root cause of cancer. Look it up, it will shock you.
Parasites and the cancer connection. Cancer is a life-threatening disease that occurs as a result of the uncontrolled proliferation of cells in any organ or tissue of the body. Parasites are dangerous organisms that can cause death in some cases. Parasite and cancer cells are similar in their capacity to survive and proliferate independently of exogenous growth factors, to be resistant to apoptosis, and to evade host immune mechanisms. Therefore, it is difficult for the body to completely get rid of cancer cells and parasitic agents. In vitro studies or experimental animal studies examining the parasite-cancer relationship have shown that besides parasites that can cause cancer directly, there are also parasites that can indirectly stimulate cancer development through various mechanisms. Parasitic agents can have both tumoral and antitumoral effects through regulation of immune response, prevention of metastasis and angiogenesis, inhibition of proliferative signals, and regulation of inflammatory responses that induce cancer development. Check out this video: (31)Q&A with Barbara O’Neill. Part 58. Ways to kill parasites. #barbaraone… | Pumpkin Seeds | TikTok
FENBENDAZOL: Pet Medicine that some people say treats cancer like a miracle drug. Again, lots of info out there, just google it. I have one friend, who is the wife of a vet and she was told she had liver cancer. Opting against mainstream medicine she took Fenbendazol and 2 years later at an emergency room visit for something else a scan showed no evidence of cancer in her liver. Some might say it was misdiagnosed..but she believes the pet meds killed her cancer.
Caster Oil: You can use it to clear your glands..use packs under your arms and on your chest or abdomen. A cotton swab soaked in caster oil in your navel each morning and cleaned out each night …to clear cancer cells.
Salt & Sugar: Remember, CANCER feeds off of sugar and bacteria that sits in the gut… but is neutralized by Celtic Sea Salt.
Researchers have successfully used sodium chloride nanoparticles to DESTROY cancer cells.
Clove: Clove is a small-sized spice but has numerous health benefits. This spice provides many nutrients that help in controlling sugar, reduce cholesterol and triglycerides, improve bone, liver, and gastric health, reduce pain, reduce risks of heart disease and cancer, and is also good for oral health.
White Clover: White clover is alien and native to Europe. Leaf tea used for colds, coughs, and fevers. Flower tea used for rheumatism and gout. Like many clovers, white clover contains the estrogenic isoflavone genistein which has cancer-preventative and antioxidant activity.
Onions: Onions are full of antioxidants and quercetin. (Remember, quercetin fights cancer and heals the gut)
Pineapple: Remove the core of the pineapple, (It has Bromelade in it) boil it, (include skin if you want to) breathe in the steam…or just eat it. Anti-cancerous, cell regeneration, anti inflammatory, good for sinuses, digestion, dirreah, swelling, and more.
Rosemary Tea: Rosemary Tea is High in antioxidants, antimicrobial, and has anti-inflammatory compounds. Antioxidants are compounds that help protect your body from oxidative damage and inflammation, which can lead to chronic diseases like cancer, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes. Studies have also investigated the effects of rosemary and carnosic acid on cancer. They have found that the two acids may have antitumor properties and even slow the growth of leukemia, breast, and prostate cancer cells.
Sea Moss: Sea moss is rich in minerals, which can help fight prostate enlargement. Additionally, sea moss contains anti-inflammatory properties which can help reduce the risk of prostate cancer. Sea moss is rich in vitamins and minerals, which can help reduce the impact of radiation poisoning. Additionally, sea moss contains anti-inflammatory properties which can help reduce the risk of cancer.
Soursop Fruit: While most research is limited to test-tube studies, soursop may be beneficial in helping to fight and prevent cancer. One study found that a soursop extract could reduce the size of breast cancer tumors and kill cancer cells. A second study found that an extract could stop the formation of leukemia cells.Fights inflammationAntioxidants fight free radicals, reducing the damage to your cells caused by oxidative stress. One of the side effects of oxidative stress is inflammation. The antioxidants in soursop may, therefore, help to reduce inflammation in the body.
Saffron: antioxidant, improve mood, treats DEPRESSION, has CANCER FIGHTING PROPERTIES, REDUCES PMS, it is an APHRODISIAC, it aids in WEIGHT LOSS AND it is an APPETITE SUPPRESANT.
Dandelion: Dandelion tea is an excellent source of potassium, a mineral and electrolyte that stimulates the heartbeat. Potassium may help the kidney filter toxins more effectively and improve blood flow. The polysaccharides in dandelion are known to reduce stress on the liver and support its ability to produce bile. (Direutic, Blood Sugar, Detox, Cholesterol, Weight Loss, Blood Pressure, Urinary Tract Infections, Anti Inflamatory, Immunity, Cancer, Flu, Skin Health and Gut Flora. (Not good is you are alergic to ragweed)
Turmeric: Turmeric Curcumin is fat soluble, which means it breaks down and dissolves in fat or oil. ..and is also a anti-inflamatory. May prevent cancer growth. (Alzheimers, Arthritis, Depression, Heart Disease)
Dr. Sebi: Read Dr. Sebi’s book about “ALKALINITY”—Alkalinity plays a huge role in how your body responds to attacks of various sicknesses and diseases including cancer. Note that while many people believe alkalinity plays a role, I have found a lot of information about parasites in the body that may be the culprit…so what they indicate is that when you destroy the environment that parasites love so much you also destroy the cancer..so its very possible that the root cause is parasites but changing the alkalinity of the body is a piece to the puzzle. Its kind of one of those “which came first” things, “the chicken or the egg”? ..”the alkalinity or the parasites”?
Vitamin D: Cancer Research suggests that vitamin D could play a role in the prevention and treatment of a number of different conditions, including type1 and type 2 diabetes, hypertension, glucose intolerance, and multiple sclerosis.
Coffee: Coffee also has compounds that help liver enzymes get rid of cancer-causing substances.
Ginger: Ginger also contributes benefits for cold and flu, nausea, stomach pain, cancer prevention, and more. While the drink is generally sweet, it is still low in calories if consumed in moderation.
This is by no means a complete list but it is a good jump start to help you begin to look at foods differently and take note of all the ways we sabotage our health with over processed, salty, sugar foods that work to destroy our bodies and our health. It is also a good jump start to researching holistic and alternatives to fighting cancer with everything youve got. Read the books, do the searches and find a combination of solutions that works for you.
I hope this will help you get a jump start on making changes to improve your life and your health with plants and prayer..not pills…and most of all I pray for your wellness, happiness and God’s grace to be with you.
