Essiac herbal tea review

One of the best articles I have recently read about alternative cancer treatments posits that every person has cancer cells in their body, but they ordinarily do not show up in tests until they multiply to a certain degree. The article includes advice from the highly respected Johns Hopkins newsletter about steps we all can take to avoid encouraging our cancer cells to go out of control. Here is what is said about Essiac:

Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Florescence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the body’s own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body’s normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.

I thought this was one of the most important sections that everyone should read:

An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it  with the foods it needs to multiply.

Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By  cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar  substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal,  Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better  natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in color. Better alternative is Bragg’s aminos or sea salt.

Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk cancer cells are being starved.

Cancer cells thrive in an acid  environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a  little chicken rather than beef or pork.  Meat also contains livestock  antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to  people with cancer.
