This will be a long post, but worth the read if you are considering cancer treatment naturally.
Our body is created intelligent – it can heal itself! Given the right nutrients, it can function optimally naturally. We need to preserve it from neglect and abuse. We owe it to ourselves because we only have one chance at a quality life so take the responsibility to make it count!
After a near-death experience while overseas last December (I was breathless despite no history of asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia, tuberculosis and was wheel-chaired to the hospital to get nebulized; a chest x-ray was done; I was diagnosed with having acute bronchitis and prescribed a cough mixture, antibiotics, and nebulizer).
Flew back and was hospitalized in January (a first for me!) because I developed high fever (natural reflex of the body when it is healing itself), had jaundice (symptoms of impending organ failure) and oedema (swelling of the feet, symptoms of toxin build-up). Doctors ran tests after tests (as tests for Covid and Mers came back negative) as they could not pin-point what was wrong with me (it was a traumatic experience as they treated me like a ‘lab rat’!).
I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in February based on results from the CT scan, MRI, and biopsy (histology test). I requested for time to read up (process the information) and seek second opinion before making an informed decision in March on the required follow-up treatment scheduled from April onwards.
Due to anaemia, I declined chemotherapy and radioactive therapy, the default first-line treatment protocol (standard of care). Why? Scientific studies (it was simple logic, if you ask me) have shown that injecting the body with toxins would harm and kill the good/healthy cells needed for the self-healing process. Hence, I did not want to introduce so much stress to my already 'battered body' and be a burden to my caregivers, which could lead to psychological issues in the long run.
Instead, I resolved to understand and rectify it. Clinical data showed that starving the cancer cells of sugar and glutamine will prevent them from growing, surviving, multiplying, and spreading. This metabolic therapy is non-toxic, related to naturopathy, a holistic approach to wellness.
To prepare the body, I did detoxification as prescribed by my hijama therapist to remove toxin build up (due to past ‘abuse’ – my immunity took a beating firstly due to the lack of quality sleep and irregular meals as I was heading towards burnout from work in the past year and the recent radiation from the CT scan, MRIs, Ultrasound, and X-rays done intensively back-to-back from December to January) so my body could heal and progressively function optimally again. This is an essential step (not to be skipped) so that whatever nutrition I take, in the process or thereafter, could be effectively absorbed at the cellular level and help in the healing process.
To aid the process, I did a few sessions of craniosacral therapy (enabling the cerebrospinal fluid in the Central Nervous System to assist in the removal of any hindrance), lymphatic drainage therapy (enabling the lymphatic fluid to flow out of the congested zones), and osteopathy (improving the musculoskeletal functions, neuromuscular and biomechanical balance) by the good people (therapists) at Integrated Body Therapy.
Concurrently, I fasted consistently over a period of time, sticking to a healthy diet (eating anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer food recommended by medical experts and friends who were cancer survivors or had a family member who survived it), taking supplements (mixture oil of black seed oil, carvacrol oil, early harvest extra virgin olive oil, milk thistle provided by Sade Trading; EBC-46 Aus+ Blushwood Berry Tincture, Curcumin/Tumeric root extract, and Turkish Tail Mushroom), and drinking Butterfly tea, Green tea, Hibiscus flower tea (for my anemia), MCT Wellness, and Soursop leave tea bought online or provided generously by dear friends (thank you for your support and love!).
The holistic healing also included being cognizant (recognizing and acknowledging) that past trauma could contribute to cell mutation and thereafter becoming cancerous. The immune system and the nervous system work closely to keep the body safe (they have the natural defense mechanism).
Suppressed or unresolved emotions or resentment, left to fester, could lead to emotional stagnation and affect you emotionally, psychologically and ultimately metaphysically (physiologically). That means the nervous system does not feel ‘safe enough’ or ‘feels unsafe’ to function optimally – it breaks down or shuts down, and could not be the default defense mechanism for the body. This directly impacts the immune system, making the body susceptible to attacks and subsequently cell mutation because the body is in an ‘ailing' state.
I needed to address the safety that was lost, resolve my emotional state from past traumas (and I have a handful!). Emotion and trauma healing therapy would be needed so that the body could feel ‘safe’ again to function normally at its optimum. I spoke to SJ, a Transformation coach, from Furaha Mastery (initially to understand the immunotherapy antibody, Keytruda, because as a Bio-Chemist by profession, he did his Master thesis about it, but subsequently he shared the need for emotional healing as well). As a result, I took the first step to retrace and recognize past traumas and ‘let them go’.
The more I read about cancer and ‘could connect the dots’, the more I understood that it is not a ‘death sentence’ as many claim it to be. I firmly believe in the Prophetic saying that, “Every disease has its cure, except death”. So, do not give up trying to heal. You (and your body) deserve the best treatment, naturally. I leave you with reliable sources of reference that I found useful as I work towards healing myself. Wish me luck! ❤
