Fasting to cure, prevent cancer?

[Mercedes]

This is news to me, and if someone has some more or better information on the subject, please do jump in. To me it is very intriguing/interesting, I would have never guessed it, but somehow sounds reasonable. Apparently this has been researched by a few scientists. I need to do more research myself but couldn't wait to tell you all about it.

I bet not drinking soda pop helps "slow cancer" too!!!

Thanks for finding this.

p.s. who was it that was talking about soda and slower healing/more infections??

[Mercedes]

I don't know who was talking about it but, I believe Dr. Mercola has been saying for some time now that sugar causes inflammation in the body, and inflammation is a precursor to cancer.

Yes fasting is one way to clear cancer. I have an acquaintance who was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer years ago. He went into the woods and fasted for 42 days on distilled water . Guess what happened? Yes, his cancer cleared. He then went onto a raw foods Hippocrates style diet and became a colon hydrotherapist and remains a live foodist and colon hydrotherapist to this day. He went on to write this book http://www.amazon.com/Heal-Inside-Out-Reuel-Ari-ebook/dp/B009JJQXWW/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1398881896&sr=1-1
half mI find it beneficial to fast once every now then (water fasts should be supervised- I would go to True North for a medically supervised water fast) but find the practice of IF (intermittent fasting) daily to be so highly beneficial that my oldest and I often do a 23/1 window split (we fast for 23 hours and then have a 1 hour eating window) but most often it's a 20-21 hour fast.

Love it. Glad to see this.

Great Thread OP, and if i may interject i would consider this tea for cancer patients and or cleansing as well. An interesting read to say the least.
You can purchase Essiac anywhere on the internet and its highly affordable. Read On!!!!

Asquali - W.f.

What if we told you that a miracle concoction exists? And we have the recipe. It’s an herbal tea from native Canadian Ojibway Indians. And it could eliminate cancer. But old government threats kept the research under wraps. Now we’re giving you the whole story…

Dr. Jessica Ottenweller led a recent study on the tea. She graduated from Indiana University School of Medicine. She now practices at Lutheran Health Network in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The study was a joint effort. The Department of Biology, Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne partnered with the Department of Chemistry, Indiana University. It was published in The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine.

The goal of the study: “to assess the ability of [the tea] extracts to modulate cancer cell proliferation and immune responsiveness.”

The Story Behind the Tea

A Canadian nurse rediscovered the formula in 1922. And she treated patients with it at her clinic for free. She claimed to heal hundreds of people with cancer and other chronic diseases. Her name was Rene Caisse.

She’d heard about the tea from an old woman who’d been cured of breast cancer. This woman told Caisse that an Ojibway medicine man had shown her herbs to make a special tea. He told her to drink it every day. And that’s what cured her. The woman was 80… and had been cancer-free for years.

Caisse worked with a major Boston hospital to conduct testing on the tea. This led to a meeting with Dr. Charles A. Brusch. He was John F. Kennedy’s personal physician. He’s received many awards for excellence in the medical field. He started the Brusch Medical Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts. And he staffed it with physicians from Harvard, Tufts, and Boston University.

After working with Caisse, Dr. Brusch was diagnosed with colon cancer. He treated himself with the tea alone. And it worked.

The tea is called Essiac. And it bears the Caisse name… in reverse.

Essiac vs. Prostate Cancer Cells

Essiac has many variations. Dr. Ottenweller focused on Canadian Essiac tea extracts.

Her study compared a noncancerous cell line to a cancerous cell line. The cells were isolated “to examine proliferation responses mediated by the addition of an Essiac preparation.”

When Essiac was present, cell production decreased for both noncancerous and cancerous groups. But even more happened in the cancerous cell group. The inhibition of the prostate cancer cell lines was higher than in the noncancerous group.

These results suggest “that Essiac may have a more selective effect on cancer cells than transformed cells.”

Essiac can also enhance immune response. So it stops tumor cell growth and fights back… at the same time.

Cancer Cure Suppressed by the Government?

Dr. Brusch was the first doctor to treat patients with Essiac. And he began studying it in depth. He put 10 years into research.

He concluded, “The results we obtained with thousands of patients of various races, sexes, and ages, with all types of cancer, definitely proves Essiac to be a cure for cancer. Studies done in laboratories in the United States and Canada also fortify this claim.”

Yet despite the extensive research performed by Dr. Brusch and others, the tea is not officially recognized as a cancer treatment.

Why would such a promising natural therapy be kept from the public?

Dr. Gary Glum worked with many professional and Olympic athletes. He developed a Neuromuscular Reeducation technique to heal soft tissue injuries. Glum discovered Caisse’s work through a friend. He wrote a book about her titled Calling of an Angel.

In an interview with Wildfire Magazine, he explained why Essiac isn’t recognized by the government as a cancer cure: “The information is withheld because cancer is the second largest revenue producing business in the world.”

Glum tells how the federal government issued a gag order on Dr. Brusch. That’s why his research never became public knowledge. He claims they told Dr. Brusch, “You’ve got one of two choices, either you keep quiet about this or we’ll haul you off to a military prison and you’ll never be heard of again.”

Dr. Glum concluded, “Harvard, Temple, Tufts, Northwestern University, Chicago – all of these institutions have tested Essiac with the right stuff, and they all came to the same conclusions as Rene Caisse. But all that information has been buried.”

Fortunately, you can brew your own supply of this cancer-fighting tea.

The Essiac Recipe

Essiac tea has four components. The herbs are burdock root, slippery elm inner bark, sheep sorrel, and Indian or Turkish rhubarb root.

Burdock root reduces mucus and stimulates the immune system. It contains vitamin A. It also has selenium, an antioxidant that reduces free radicals. And chromium, which helps maintain blood sugar levels.

Slippery elm bark soothes the organs. It helps dissolve mucus deposits. And it’s rich in calcium, magnesium, and vitamins.

Sheep sorrel helps maintain healthy kidneys. It contains many vitamins and minerals. These include ascorbic acid, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, silicon, rutin, and mineral oxides. (Dr. Glum says this is the herb that destroys cancer cells.)

Rhubarb root helps remove toxic waste buildup in the liver. It neutralizes acids. It also helps carry healing oxygen through the body. It balances the entire digestive system.

You can brew your own Essiac tea. But you have to be careful. You need the right amount of each ingredient for it to be effective.

The suggested recipe comes from Rene Caisse’s best friend. Her name is Mary McPherson. And in a sworn affidavit, recorded in Ontario, she revealed the formula:

Essiac Tea Recipe

Burdock Root (cut) – 6 ½ cups or 24 ounces
Slippery Elm Bark (powder) – 4 ounces
Sheep Sorrel (powder) – 16 ounces
Rhubarb Root (powder) – 1 ounce

Use two gallons of water for every eight ounces of dry ingredients. Boil for 10 minutes. Leave covered on the stove for 6 to 12 hours.

Essiac extract is a registered trademark in Canada. You can find it in a bottle at health food stores.

Rene Caisse recommended one ounce of Essiac extract with two ounces of water. That’s considered a very mild dose today.

The American Cancer society won’t recognize Essiac as a cancer cure. But it does say “some of the specific herbs contained in the mixture have shown some anti-cancer effects in laboratory experiments.” They say a typical dose is one ounce, one to three times a day.

To your best health,

Ebay has many sellers of this tea combined. I purchased mine from this seller here listed. All directions in preparing this elixir is on the back of the packaging.

Check out the book "The Water of Life" by John Armstrong.

Also if you fast with urine therapy this amplifies and help wash out the body of inner issues... "The taking the piss, your own perfect medicine" (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?1793-Taking-the-piss-Your-own-best-medicine...) thread will cover this...

half mI find it beneficial to fast once every now then (water fasts should be supervised- I would go to True North for a medically supervised water fast) but find the practice of IF (intermittent fasting) daily to be so highly beneficial that my oldest and I often do a 23/1 window split (we fast for 23 hours and then have a 1 hour eating window) but most often it's a 20-21 hour fast.

i bet staying in the woods for 42 days without fasting would have done the trick just as well.

imo self-imposed fasting is an unnatural thing. no animal fasts while food is available. animals are smarter than most humans nowadays. they listen to their bodies, not their doctors. it's better to remove the cause of the cancer than to put the body under stress from starvation.

What most think as food isn't, and that is part of the problem.. If it is a wild naturally selected diet as in nature animals don't generally get ill. Animals fed with unnatural food in captivity is another thing all together.

humans have been fasting for centuries.
i also have done many days of intermitted fasting, where i would fast for about 16-24h. the longer you fast, the less you miss food.
over all i really enjoy fasting and think many can profit from fasting once a week or at least once a month.

The Hippocrates Institute has had wonderful results with diet therapy and a once a week fast with organic green juice. The premise of the program is a raw, organic food diet that emphasizes wheat grass juice, fresh sprouts, sea vegetables as well as pure water.All food intake is raw. It is a holistic program that deals with excercise , massage, and mental attitude. I have really simplified their program here but they really do get miraculous results with very severe cases of cancer, tumors, late stage diabetes and on and on. There is a three week program that people can attend to immerse themselves in the life style. There is a book written by the program director called Lifeforce that is incredible. I have adapted a part of the program into my lifestyle and could not be happier with the results.

that's because you're body starts a special program designed to help the body through longer periods where no food is available. the body also remembers fasting as periods of starvation. that's why fat people get fatter after they fasted to get thin. the body notices that less food is forthcoming, digests whatever it gets more intensely (increasing liver tissue, for instance), stores as much as possible, reduces metabolism and generally operates under a low level of permanent stress until there's enough food available again. then it fills up all stores (fat cells) and adds some more for safety.

i'm not saying intermittent fasting is bad. imo it's healthier than eating every 2-3 hours, and the body can get used to eating only once or twice per day on a regular basis. but fasting longer than 24 hours when food actually is available is simply unnatural. the body also degenerates faster during fasting because it lacks the nourishment for regeneration. it's all about balance - too little is just as bad as too much.

it's part of the problem but a lesser part. the major part is that animals in captivity, even pets, can't choose their surroundings. they're subjected to the same degenerative environment as humans and that is the main thing that causes diseases in pets and animals in captivity. i wrote about this in some other threads. the no.1 cause of pretty much all diseases of civilization for humans and animals are all the various forms of man-made electricity. electromagnetic radiation (radar, sonar, cell phone towers, radio and tv etc.) is also the main cause for the death of trees, bees, whales etc. it is also the no.1 cause for cancer.
