When I keep going over n’ over in my head, the sure keys to cancer prevention it’s about eliminating the need for treatment and NOT bad mouthing professionals in the medical profession. Heaven knows I have considerable links in Solitarius.org pin – pointing the best and brightest. However, taking a look at one of the popular alternative or complimentary lifestyle recovery approaches to cancer.
One only needs to look no further than macrobiotics philosophy to see the benefits and results of the past. One needs only begin with one of it earliest pioneers, George Ohsawa (1893 – 1966) whom based his research on the practice of Sagen Ishizuka’s The theory of balancing mineral salts… Yin & Yang. Relying on diet alone for the treatment of cancer maybe a mistake, however, like aloe vera juice as a preventive measure to boost your overall health may indeed be warranted
The center piece of macrobiotics is the substantial evidence that many dietary factors recommended are associated with decreased cancer risk. Women consuming macrobiotic diets generally have low estrogen levels which suggest a lower risk of breast cancer and for those that have breast cancer… like Katie Engst higher survival rates.
Published in 1982, Recalled By Life: Story of My Recovery from Cancer, recounts the autobiographical of a physician Dr. Anthony Sattilaro who was diagnosed at age 49 years with prostate cancer and multiple bone metastases. Given a poor prognosis and feeling he had nothing to lose, Dr. Sattilaro adopted a macrobiotic, predominate vegetarian, whole food diet soon after diagnosis.
Follow up examines at 1 and 4 years revealed complete resolution of metastatic bone lesions. Publications of Dr. Sattilaro’s story was also preceeded in 1979, by another autobiographical which described the recovery of Dr. Jean Kohler: Healing Miracles from Macrobiotics that details her recovery from pancreatic cancer.
Another publication in 1983 Michio Kushi’s The Cancer Prevention Diet, detailing the macrobiotic approach to cancer, including an emphasis on physical activity, the avoidance of exposure to pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and other chemicals, as well as electromagnetic radiation and stress reduction.
Macrobiotics philosophy promotes the concept that phenomena are universal and inter related, and this practice of macrobiotics engenders the respect of the spiritual nature to life. While eating macrobiotically to prevent cancer treatment, on the other hand, that are inherently disempowering because the patient is the recipient of therapy that can, therefore, be over whelming painful, debilitating and completely out of the patients control.
