Natural Treatments and Remedies for Cancer

Have you ever wondered how effective natural cancer treatments can be? Here are some effective home remedies to help treat and prevent cancer.

Home Remedies For Cancer

garlic

Garlic

This superfood has certain antibiotic properties that can be used to get rid of various infectious agents like bacteria, yeast, and fungi. According to the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM), the presence of alkyl sulfur compounds makes it a very good anti-cancer agent. This superfood causes malignant cells to undergo natural cell death (apoptosis). Garlic also activates the immune cells against cancerous cells. It should be eaten in raw form as an oil, clove or powdered substance, rather than consuming it in a cooked form.

broccoli

Broccoli

This vegetable contains the linamarase gene that when present inside cancer cells can break down into cyanide and effectively kill tumorous cells.

Grapes

Grapes contain a compound called proanthocyanidins that reduces the body’s estrogen production. This results in the effective treatment of breast cancer, as is evident from the clinical trials performed on several breast cancer patients. The study showed that the extract of grapes affects breast cancer tumors that are hormone-sensitive. A drug called doxorubicin was also found to enhance its anti-tumor activity by consuming grapes juice or extract every day as a supplemental treatment.

Wheatgrass

This food, when taken in the form of juice or raw is shown to regress cancer cells’ growth as demonstrated by the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Centre. Wheatgrass has the ability to enhance the immune system and rid toxins and waste products from the body.

green tea

Green Tea

Prepare herbal green tea by boiling some amount of tea leaves in a glass of water till it reduces to half. Green tea has anti-inflammatory properties and can help prevent breast cancer formation.

Lignans

Lignans are present in the seeds of sunflower, cashews, strawberries, flaxseed, and peanuts. These compounds prevent estrogen-dependent tumors by slowing down their rate of growth and progression. These foods should be consumed regularly.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D can lower the risk of breast cancer. It can be found in:

  • Milk
  • Eggs
  • Cod liver oil

However, it cannot be found in cheese and yogurt.

Exercise

Research suggests that exercising an hour daily reduces the risk of contracting breast cancer in women of any age and any weight. Research also suggests that physical activity and a healthy diet may help to reduce the risk of cancer.

Low-calorie diet

Research suggests that a low-calorie diet may slow down the spread of breast cancer.

Soybean

This food is considered a must for breast cancer patients. According to the MD Anderson Cancer Center, it contains phytoestrogens and several other entities that block cancerous cells from using estrogen. It also contains isoflavones needed for the prevention of cancer at early stages. It can be taken either as sprouts or as a cooked vegetable.

Olive-oil

Olive Oil

Olive oil has many health benefits and it can also reduce the risk of cancer. A recent research study suggests that hydroxytyrosol, a major component of olive oil may help prevent breast cancer in postmenopausal women.

Calcium

This mineral is important to consume, especially in the pre-menopausal period for women. Calcium has reduced breast cancer risks in a number of different studies.

Foods rich in calcium are:

Beneficial Diet

According to a recent study, intake of vegetable protein, vegetable fat, dietary fiber, and nuts during adolescence may help to reduce the risk of breast cancer. A cancer patient should eat …

  • Cucumbers
  • Carrots
  • Bananas
  • Corn
  • Spinach
  • Peas
  • Lentils

These foods can be consumed in soups. Lentils can also be eaten as sprouts as they are rich in protein.

Harmful Diet – Avoid

  • Hot dogs
  • Beef
  • Lamb
  • Pork

They contain a high amount of saturated fats. Eating less of these types of red meat will reduce the risk of prostate and colon cancer.
