Welcome to this part 6 of treatments for cancer, hope you all enjoyed last weeks article on apricot kernels (laetrile), can you believe that something so natural can be so powerful?….well yes!!!  there are no chemicals or drugs made by man as powerful as one made by mother nature, every cure known to man ultimately comes from the earth. Did you know that we have living proof right here in Inishowen that wheat-grass successfully treats cancer?  After reading a recent Sunday World report on how “wheatgrass” cured an Inishowen man with cancer, I just had to do an article about this wonderful plant.

What is Wheat Grass

Although wheatgrass comes from the same plant that produces the wheat grain used to make flour, wheat-grass is harvested before the plant matures and refers to the young grass before the grain is produced. The Latin botanical plant name for wheat and wheatgrass is called Triticum Aestivum, which is part of the Poaceae family of grasses. The roots and underground stems may be used in herbal remedies. Wheatgrass is, without a doubt, a powerful healing agent – both for the body as a whole, and when applied to the skin.

History tells us that the grasses, in general, have been known to have healing properties going back several thousand years. Ann Wigmore in the ’70s cured many with terminal cancer and other chronic illnesses using freshly juiced wheatgrass. In the late 1930s, an agricultural scientist, Dr. George Kohler, and his colleagues found that cereal grasses greatly enhanced fertility, growth and the general health of laboratory animals. Wheatgrass is easily grown at home in pots, but it does take a really good juicer to properly extract all the juice. Search on youtube how to grow and juice wheat-grass, there are a lot of videos on there.

Studies into anti-cancer properties of Wheat-Grass

In 2001, the National Institute of Health in the United States funded a large double-blind trial of 180 individuals in Quidong, China(Egner. A. et. al.)

This province has the highest incidence of liver cancer in the world that is most often caused by aflatoxin, a type of fungus. Some proponents of wheat-grass therapy equate chlorophyll (the component that makes wheatgrass and other plants green) with hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood, saying that wheatgrass raises the body’s oxygen levels. Using modern assay techniques, researchers were able to demonstrate a doubling of the induction period (the time taken for cancer to develop) from twenty to forty years in participants who took a daily dose of Chlorophylls. Chlorophylls are constituents of the human diet and have been found to be effective anticarcinogens in several animal models. Read the full study here-http://www.pnas.org/content/98/25/14601.full.pdf

Astonishing results indeed, but the medical community still remains silent. Why this silence one might ask? well as we know there is no profit in wellness, pharmaceutical companies are just not interested in mother nature cures. In another study (Peryt. B. et al. 1992) it is shown that it is not just the chlorophyll that treats cancer, in this study wheatgrass extract significantly reduced the production of benzo-pyrene metabolites in rats. In other words, cell mutation was reduced causing a reduction in the likelihood of cancer developing. So wheatgrass appears to be natural cancer prophylactic. Read study here-http://tinyurl.com/m9ddu4l

Wheat-Grass cures Inishowen Man!

Danny Mc Donald from Dunaff in Urris had been suffering from chronic cancer of the stomach and was told by doctors he would be “dead in a matter of weeks”.As Danny says in his own words;-“I know a lot of doctors think wheatgrass doesn’t have the qualities to kill cancer, but I am living proof that it does. And although many doctors won’t admit it publicly, gradually they are coming round to see the benefits of wheatgrass.”It is over four years now since 74-year-old Danny was first diagnosed with chronic cancer of the stomach. Today Danny McDonald stands a healthy 12 stone and cancer, which was killing him, has completely disappeared. In a recent phone conversation with Danny, he tells me thousands have flocked from all over the country to his home in Urris ( some as far away as Cork) in order to get familiar with the wheatgrass protocol that he uses. People have come to see for themselves at first hand a living testimony to the remarkable effects of wheat-grass.

This is part 5 of the natural treatment and prevention of cancer, I bet you never thought there would be so much information and that there would be so many effective alternative treatments for cancer in existence? If you missed the other 4 parts then you can read them on our blog

Last week we spoke about Sodium Bicarbonate (baking soda) and its many medicinal uses including its great effect upon cancer. Please also check out the adverse effects of taking too much bicarb., and its interactions with some drugs, see here-http://drsircus.com/medicine/sodium-bicarbonate-baking-soda/side-effects-contraindications

Apricot Kernels (bitter almonds)

This week we will examine a substance called Laetrile which is found naturally in rich quantities in apricot kernels. Apricot kernels are also commonly known as “bitter almonds”

Most people take laetrile in the form of apricot kernels. In the middle of an apricot is a hard shell. If you break open the hard shell with a “nut cracker”, pliers or hammer, you will find a small seed/kernel in the middle that looks like an almond. It is this seed that is rich in natural laetrile. Apricot kernels are also not that hard to get hold of, most health food stores will supply them, but you can easily purchase them online as well.

Laetrile

Laetrile (i.e. amygdalin or Vitamin B17) therapy is one of the most popular and best-known alternative cancer treatments. It is very simple to use and is very effective if used in high enough doses, if the product is of high quality, and is combined with an effective cancer diet and key supplements. All alternative cancer treatments need to be combined with food therapy and also paying particular attention to healthy eating and exercise to increase its effectiveness. Laetrile works by targeting and killing cancer cells and building the immune system to fend off future outbreaks of cancer. It uses two different methods of killing cancer cells. It involves a strict diet (as do all cancer treatments) and several supplements. Foods that also contain laetrile include apricot kernels, peach kernels, grape seeds, blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, bean sprouts, lima beans and macadamia nuts (to name but a few).

How does Laetrile kill cancer cells?

When the laetrile compound molecule comes across a cancer cell, it is broken down into two molecules of glucose, 1 molecule of hydrogen cyanide and 1 molecule of benzaldehyde. In the early days of laetrile research, it was assumed that the hydrogen cyanide molecule was the major cancer cell killing molecule, but now it is known that it is the benzaldehyde molecule that is by far the major reason the cancer cell is killed.

You have to take enough laetrile molecules, over a long enough period of time, so that enough laetrile molecules coincidently hit all of the cancer cells first. Too much apricot kernel consumption could leak some cyanide into healthy cells. But the warning signs are early and clear. Any nausea, dizziness, or headaches indicate it`s time to slow down on the amount taken or cut out the sugar. Having said all that an Australian mainstream newspaper the “Sydney Morning Herald”, told the story of a man, who cured himself of cancer by consuming 30 apricot kernels a day. Jill Stark opened her March 10, 2010 article with, “Paul Reid should be dead. Diagnosed with a rare, incurable lymphoma, he was given five years, seven tops, by his oncologist.” The article included a photo of a healthy Reid, smiling with a platter full of fresh foods at age 68, 13 years after his prognosis. His cancer curing protocol consisted of consuming 30 apricot kernels per day.
Despite official warnings regarding cyanide poisoning from Laetrile, Reid did not suffer cyanide poisoning from eating 30 kernels a day!

Share Information

As I always say; I would never encourage anyone with cancer not to visit their doctor or to seek medical advice, but do make them aware of the many amazing alternative treatments available, most good doctors will welcome the info. Those that don’t or won’t, are simply then just agents for the pharmaceutical companies, otherwise, they would have your best interests at heart. I always say to anyone reading my articles to always do your own research, there are mountains of information on the internet, too much in fact for a small article such as this. The amount of info. I had to leave out is quite astonishing. Please share this info with your family and friends. Sharing this info may save many many lives.

Please note: This article is for informational purposed, the natural health centre does not supply any of the products or treatments listed.
