Cancer is a group of diseases with several possible causes. One of the major causes is carcinogenic substances that can be found in cigarette smoke, artificial sweetener, analgesic and many others. Cancer is also an effect of environmental factors like the sun, natural and man-made radiation and work place hazards. Such are contributing factors to causing cancers that are unavoidable. Viruses also can be factor to the existence of cancer cells. Together with viruses, some bacteria also are cancer- causing agents.

Another cause is the person's genetic predisposition. There are people born with some genetic mutations that tend to be cancerous. The immune system of an individual is also a factor. A person who has problems with his/her immune systems is more prone to get some types of cancer. Furthermore, lack of alkaline or base in one's body could be a cause of cancer because cancer attacks those people whose body are acidic in nature.

Human bodies have a natural pH balance, which is the balance between acid and base or otherwise called alkaline. If the pH of the blood remains high, it means that the blood is capable of carrying more oxygen. If the blood carries more oxygen, each cell in the body will remain at maximum efficiency. Because of this, elimination of waste products is easier. On the other hand, an acid pH body is more prone to illness. If blood pH falls below 6.8 or above 7.8, one's body cells will stop functioning

According to experts, cancerous tissues are acidic while healthy tissues are alkaline. Cancer tends to develop in a highly acid environment. Therefore it highly recommended to get pH above 7.4. It is a must to alkalize your body in order to be healthy. Alkalizing your body means you're going to add some alkaline or base. In this way, you can maintain physical fitness. This process is also proven to cure cancer.

In order to sustain proper amount of alkaline, you should ensure that you maintain a proper diet which is high in alkaline content and low in acidic content. Fruits like apples, avocados, bananas, blackberries, grapes, lemons, oranges, pears, pineapple, raspberries, strawberries and watermelon can keep the body alkaline. Vegetables like beans, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, celery, green peas, lettuce, lima beans-dried, mushrooms, potatoes-sweet, potatoes, radishes, raisins, spinach-raw, tomatoes and watercress also regulate the body alkaline.

Furthermore, alkaline ionized water also maintain right amount of alkaline and help cure cancer. Alkaline ionized water is a life-giving substance that aids the body in neutralizing the acid produced by chemicals, pesticides and polluted air around you. It is conducive to good health because first, its pH is alkaline. The water you drink is full of alkaline because the ionization process splits the alkaline minerals from the acidic minerals. In short, you are guaranteed that you drink 10 to 1000 times more alkaline than your original tap.

Another reason why alkaline ionized water can cure cancer is its Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP). Human body oxidizes when it does not have sufficient anti-oxidants because it steals electrons from healthy tissue to fight off disease and aging. Abundant anti-oxidants cures cancer.

Cancer is curable if only the cancer patient is patient. According to Benjamin Franklin, "he that can have patience can have what he will."

Cancer, as a class of diseases typified by out-of-control cell growth is very prevalent nowadays. It is one of the top killers around the world. According to World Health Organization, different forms of cancer were responsible for 6.72 million deaths worldwide in the year 2000. It accounted for 7.4 million deaths in 2004. Cancer, as we all know is the uncontrollable formation of abnormal cells in the body.

Dealing with cancer is very complicated. The modern treatment of cancer like chemotherapy can be as frightening as the disease itself. Chemotherapy destroys cancerous cells, but the side effects that include nausea, loss of appetite, and hair loss side effects of chemotherapy are serious medical conditions that also need prevention. Because of this, cancer patients keep on looking for alternative forms of treating such disease.

One alternative medicine for treating cancer is capsaicin. Capsaicin is an active compound found in chili, chili pepper and cayenne pepper. It is an odorless, tasteless antioxidant. This component gives chili its unique hotness. Because of this exceptional attribute, it is used as a flavoring agent to many cuisines around the globe. In addition, it was also discovered that it can be a good ingredient in weight loss pills, treatment of inflammatory diseases, sinusitis and nasal congestion relief and others.

The greatest discovery regarding capsaicin is that it can cure cancer. A research published by American Association for Cancer Research (2006) found that capsaicin inhibits the growth of Androgen-Independent, p53 Mutant Prostate Cancer Cells. Another study conducted by researchers at Nottingham University in the UK Nottingham University in the UK led by Dr. Timothy Bates discovered that capsaicin is able to attack tumor cells' source of energy and initiates cell-suicide but leave the healthy cells in its good condition.

The above study of Dr. Bates and colleagues learned that capsaicin attacked the tumor cells' mitochondria and this leads to the production of ATP, the activated carrier which gives energy to organisms. According to Dr. Bates, countries like Mexico and India whose people are accustomed to very spicy food end have lower number of cancer patients because of the healing feature of Capsaicin found in chili, chili pepper and cayenne pepper.

The research by Samuel Oschin Comprehensive Cancer Institute together with The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) discovered that Capsaicin destroy a significant amount of the developed cancer cells and can hinder the development of the cancer infected tumors. They used mice in proving this. According to them, Capsaicin destroyed about 80 percent of the developed cancer cells growing inside mice. After the treatment with Capsaicin, they learned that there is 20 % significantly decrease of tumors in mice.

It was confirmed by above researches that Capsaicin targets cancerous cells and does nothing with the healthy ones. It is important to bear in mind that while Capsaicin does show promise in treating cancer, eating too much of it can be harmful. Thus, knowing that it contains multiple health benefits, it is always safe to consume chili peppers from mild to fiery.

Yes! There are many medicines both in modern as well as alternative medicine which can cure different types of cancer. It should be however remembered that cancer does not refer to any one disease, but implies irregular and uncontrollable growth of body cells. Different types of cancer behave differently, and therefore have a different prognosis, that is, the end result can be strikingly different.

Some types of cancer like lung cancer usually are very aggressive and have a serious outcome, while other types like prostate cancer may have a much slower growth, and may have a much better outcome. The important rule of thumb for successful treatment of any type of cancer is to detect it at the earliest possible, and treat it aggressively right from the start.

Cure rates for any type of cancer can be dramatically improved if a combination of treatment modalities is utilized right from the start. Unfortunately, this happens very rarely, at least in current times. Each system of treatment has its own advantages and limitations. Modern treatment of cancer mainly includes surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Radiation therapy and chemotherapy can target cancer cells and destroy a fair amount of the tumor in a short time. However, there are numerous side-effects to these treatments, and they may not be very effective on a long-term basis. In addition, they reduce body immunity drastically, thereby resulting in further strengthening the cancer growth.

Alternative treatment, especially Ayurvedic treatment, is good at improving the general immunity of the body as well as strengthening specific anti-cancer activity of the body. However, this can be a slow process, and may not be very useful in situations where the individual's life is at an immediate risk. The ideal therapy would be a judicious combination of modern and Ayurvedic treatment. For example, surgery or short courses of radiation therapy and chemotherapy could be utilized to reduce the tumor size quickly, so as to improve short term survival of the patient. Ayurvedic treatment could then be utilized to give long-term treatment, so as to treat the remaining cancer growth, as well as the microscopic growth and spread of the cancer. In order for this to happen, the general public needs to have a strong awareness of the benefits of different treatment modalities, and aggressively exercise their right to be treated well. The medical fraternity too needs to be open-minded enough to accept and provide a judicious integration of different treatment modalities, including conservative as well as alternative treatment.

Another scenario where integration of treatment systems could be life-saving is in the treatment of serious complications of advanced cancer. Advanced life-support facilities are currently available only with the modern medical fraternity, and practitioners of alternative systems of therapy do not have access to these facilities. The overall success rate in saving life can be further improved dramatically if Ayurvedic medicines could be given along with modern intensive medical care. Some Ayurvedic medicines have proved to demonstrate life-saving potential in critical medical situations such as heavy internal bleeding, non-healing wounds, acute respiratory distress syndrome, multiple system failure, and failure of critical organs. Such medicines can be powdered and administered to severely ill patients through feeding tubes.

Admittedly, the reluctance of hospitals to allow alternative treatment in serious medical conditions arises mainly due to medico-legal implications, especially since the hospital is considered to be primarily responsible for the patient's treatment. Concerns about future medico-legal litigation can be addressed if the patient's relatives are prepared to give a written, legal waiver of responsibility to the hospital and the treating doctors. Such unorthodox steps, if implemented, can pioneer the way for a dramatic new line of integrated treatment, which can revolutionize the treatment both for patients with advanced cancer, as well as seriously ill patients requiring intensive medical care.

Cancer is one such disease that people are normally scared of. The general idea about cancer is that it is not curable and premature death is certain. If you practically see, it is not so. There are some treatments available in the market among which natural remedies to cure cancer is gaining tremendous popularity.

There are different stages of cancer which can attack various parts of your body. Most often the symptoms of this disease are different. Nonetheless, the symptoms can be different for different parts of the body. It even depends on the type of cancer you have. Places like mouth, throat, breast, uterus, bladder, liver, prostate and skin are most vulnerable to cancer. It is seen that the excessive growth of abnormal cells, damaged cells and lack of oxygen causes cancer in our body.

Normally in the first stage people go to oncologist. Probably, most doctors will suggest chemotherapy, surgery, radiation which will ruin the immunity of the body. But, it is better to undergo the natural treatment to cancer cure. If you go for fruits you will find that there are some important elements like phyto-nutrients, antispasmodic, astringent and antioxidant contained in them which help to improve the immune system. Mostly yellow colored fruits contain these properties which help in fighting cancer. These help to cure the damaged cells in patients suffering from cancer.

Fruits like black raspberries constitute properties like vitamin B and C, fibers, folic acid, iron, copper and magnesium. These elements help in making healthy tissues and cells which in turn help in developing a strong immunity against the diseases. When the body lacks oxygen and these vital nutrients, cancer starts to attack the body. Hence, black raspberries must be included in the diet plan. It can be taken in any form like juice, fruit and mixing with honey. These help to improve our tissue condition thereby providing protection from cancer.

The potency of black raspberries does not get damaged after freezing, heating and processing. From recent results, it is evident that black raspberries can protect prostate, oral cancer growth. It is widely used for killing leukemia cells. The best part of treating with raspberries is that it does not damage the healthy cells while treating the damaged ones. You should never consume carcinogens through diet, water and air which cause damage to our body tissues.

Broccoli is an extremely useful vegetable to treat breast cancer. Similarly carrots, ginger, garlic and onion are also useful to prevent cancer and tumors. Sometimes turmeric is also used for curing the cancer affected ulceration of the body.

Hence, we must be very sincere in adopting natural remedies to cure cancer. The natural remedies to cancer cure are free from side effects and are easily affordable.
