One of the most terrifying words in the English language is Cancer. Most of us know or have lost someone to the big C. Some of us may even be or have been victims to it ourselves.
Even with the Billions of dollars worldwide donated, the pharmaceutical industry still claim they haven't found a cure.
"Hmmm! not sure what I think about this?"
Although over the years I do recall hearing quite a few times the media saying that they may have found a cure for some types of cancer.
"Hello, where are they."
I've decided to do a little research on more naturopathic ways to help control this disease and would like to share the interesting information I have found.
Here are 4 naturopathic remedies to assist in the fight with cancer:
Frankinscence and Myrrh essential oil
Frankincense and Mryrrh are the dried sap from small trees that grow in the Middle East and North East of Africa.
Researchers out of Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas have discovered potential cancer-killing properties in frankincense and Myrrh. They believe the properties are due in part to the oils regulating cellular epigenetic machinery, which highlights its ability to influence genes to promote healing.
It is belived that Frankinscence and Myrrh essential oils can suppress multiple cancer growths in Ovarian cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, liver cancer and skin cancer.
Available as incense and essential oil, soap, skin lotion and body scrubs.

Honey
Many studies on breast and lung cancers have shown honey to be a good chemotherapeutic agent. It is selectively toxic to tumor or cancer cells, non-cytotoxic to normal cells, a natural anti-inflammatory agent and a natural antimicrobial agent.
Tualang Honey - Studies have shown that flavonoid rich honeys are likely to positively influence estrogenic activity in estrogen-receptor positive cancers.
Manuka honey - Diminishes tumours by inducing cell death and preventing the spread of cancerous cells.
Gelam honey - found to kill liver cancer cells
Greek honeys (thyme, pine and fir honey) for prostate cancer

Ashwagandha
Ashwagandha is a powerful herb in Ayurvedic healing. It has been used since ancient times for a wide variety of conditions.
Ashwaganda has been known to protect normal cells through Antioxidant protection, enhance the effects of chemotherapy and radiation, protect normal cells against damage from cancer therapy, stop the creation of new blood vessels that feed cancer, bind to and block proteins that cancers need to grow.
Ashwagandha root and leaf extracts have been found to prevent and reduce cancer cells for brain cancer, prostate cancer, skin cancer, renal cancer, cervicle cancer, breast cancer and more.

Turmeric is an orange-colored spice native to India and Indonesia used as a spice in Indian foods.
Turmeric’s active ingredient is called curcumin. Studies have shown that curcumin helps prevent several types of cancer including breast, lung, stomach, liver, cervical and colon.

I can't say for sure that any of the above will be of any help, but maybe its worth giving them a try. What have you got to lose? However before trying something new I do recommend you have a chat to your doctor first. Some have made claims that naturopathic remedies can interfere with conventional medicine.
If you are having surgery I highly advise you to let Your Doctor know if you are taking any alternative medicines as they have been known to have an affect on anesthesia and blood.
Be safe and get proffessional advice before starting naturopathic vitamins, oils, herbs, soaps, body rubs etc.
Thanks for reading!
