New Hope
Breast cancer awareness month gives us an opportunity to learn more about breast cancer and what we can do to prevent it, or increase the chance of overcoming the disease. Conventional treatment has far to go if we are to have acceptable survival statistics for women diagnosed with breast cancer. However, if we combine conventional treatment with a complementary approach, we may see a new path of hope, for women diagnosed with breast cancer.
In any complementary regimen, it is essential that you know its goals and methodologies, including a realistic timeline. Is the goal more symptom and comfort oriented? How long will it take—weeks, months, longer? Is this something that can be started right away, previous to, or concurrent with chemotherapy and other conventional methods? What kind of lifestyle change will you have to make? Will there be any signs that you are on the right path? How soon can those signs be expected?
We all know that nutrients are critical to your health. Which nutritional regimen would be good for you? Are antioxidants all that you need? Should you take a Shitake mushroom extract because of its known anticancer components? Should you avoid white sugar, or take iodine (Lugol's, Iodoral)? How Can You Know? If toxicity, or vitamin D deficiency might be part of your problem when is that addressed? These are some of the answers your alternative specialist should know.
There is a method of complementary analysis that can be used to find some answers to the above questions. It is very well structured and has a long track record for helping women who have experienced many types of illnesses—even such as breast cancer—even though it is not a “treatment” for disease. The key point about this method is that it is a way to bring proper attention to the whole body; not just a way of focusing only on the breasts. Focusing on only one region of the body is something that conventional medicine already does very well. The purpose of this method—called Nutrition Response Testing—is to bring the rest of the body into the picture, and wherever necessary, strengthen what might need to be strengthened—with natural medicine / nutrition, or detoxification ("detox").
The concept that breast cancer is a problem of only the breasts is a big assumption—and a very limiting assumption at that—which has never been proven. Cancer has a systemic component—the whole body is affected in one way or another. Analogously, if a metal chain were to get rusty and break at its weakest link when it were stressed, do you think all the other rusty links that didn't break yet are really much stronger, and unaffected by the rust? The rust and the broken link are signs that something has affected the entire chain—like an illness affecting your entire body. Our goal in Nutrition Response Testing is to uncover all of the weakest links of your body—ultimately to make the whole body stronger.
Women can experience a better quality of life, and be strong enough to survive through—and have a better recovery after—some very destructive, but often necessary conventional medicine. To tip the scales more in your favor of better prevention, recovery, and sucessful remission, the key is the right complement to this medicine. This is the new hope for women diagnosed with breast cancer.
