Natural and Home Remedies for Breast Cancer, Inflammation and Hypothyroidism...

QUESTION:

Hello,


I am only 40 years old and went through chemo and radiation including a full mastectomy for breast cancer.

I have been taking an anti-estrogen blocker, clonidine, efixer for side effects. Plus synthroid. After only having worse side effects I have weaned myself off of all medication. My hands continue to be swollen and all wadded up.

I have read great articles on ACV & Baking Soda as well as info on hypothyroidism. It seems that the ACV combo tends to be a little different depending on what you are trying to treat.

Could you please advise me how I may be able to prevent my breast cancer from coming back (it was in my lymph nodes) and help me attempt to cure the inflammation in my hips, hands and elbows, along with helping my hypothyroidism? I do take a multivitamin that includes the following, twice daily:

ANSWER:

Hi Joann, and thank you for question(s) regarding breast cancer, inflammation and hypothyroidism.

Firstly, I have to say that the information given here is only my personal opinion and I'm not a medical doctor (I always like to include this for ethical as well as legal reasons).

Now with that said, I think you are on the right path. You're taking alot of supplements which is a very good thing. The first thing I would suggest is you have a read of our cancer article here... The Super Cheap Natural Cancer Treatment and Prevention Formula. This is definitely one of the strongest and best cancer prevention and treatment protocols there is. You are already taking alot of the foods and supplements recommended so that's a good start.

I would suggest using this formula and starting from the beginning (using the baking soda for the first 3 weeks before switching to wheat grass). You can still take all of the supplements you are currently taking while doing this as well. They will compliment the treatment nicely in fact (and don't worry about "overdosing" on any of these foods or supplements either. Your body will use what it needs and safely discard the rest, that's the way it works!).

Now with your inflammation, we suggest in this protocol that you take lots and lots of cayenne pepper. The reason this becomes extra important for you is two fold. Not only is cayenne pepper a powerful immune booster (boosting the immune system is crucial for preventing and treating cancer), it's also one of the strongest anti-inflammatories in existence! So this will definitely help with your inflammation problems, along with the ginger and tumeric (both of which are also strong anti-inflammatories).

To finish off, the ACV would be a great inclusion because it's also an anti-inflammatory and helps to build up the good bacteria in your gut (which is also crucial for cancer patients). Just make sure the ACV you buy is organic and still contains the "mother" apple. In addition, I would recommend you get good at fermenting and culturing your own foods for an extra supply of healthy bacteria. A healthy gut is absolutely vital for the correct absorption of nutrients. Here's some tips on how to go about doing this... Cultures for Health.

One final point I would also make is maybe looking at upping the amount of iodine for your hypothyroidism. It needs to be higher, so take some liquid iodine as well if you can. And of course, make sure you eat healthy (no refined or processed foods, fried foods, takeaway foods, hydrogenated oils, etc, and eat lots of fruits, vegetables, herbs, nuts and seeds).

If you have any more questions or enquires Joann then please don't hesitate to contact us further.


Hope this helps you.


All the very best to you,
