Drug causes tumour cells to self-destruct

[Guest guest]

That makes two of us! Lack or oxygen or abundance of oxygen?

 

Either way, providing more oxygen appears to be an important

consideration.

 

Don't you just love all these studies that trumpet major

breakthroughs in new hugely expensive treatments when the fine print

says that they only give you at best a couple of more months?

Amen, brother... tis only the beginning of many of the proper things

to address in fighting not only cancer but overall optimal wellness in

general including but not limited to... proper elimation channels

through periodic cleansing (colon cleansing,liver, blood), juicing,

lymphatic enhancement (love the rebounder^^), heavy metal removal (via

a variety of methods.. cilantro + chlorrera, various " healing " clays,

stress reduction, avoidance of a wide range of toxins as best as

possible, optimal clean water consumption, intake of a good source of

plant derived trace minerals, periodic fasting, laughter, etc... oh

yea, and awide variety of wholesome raw foods (fruits, veggies,

pasture fed GH free antibiotic free lean meats, seeds, nuts, teas such

as white,green, kombachi, pau de arco, yerba mate, detox teas etc..)

and powerful therapuetic supplementation such as Oleander extract +

IP6, not to mention a variety of beneficial detoxification therapies

such as hydrotherapy (Hot/Cold showers/Cold Sheet Treatment)which can

all help to promote optimal health and wellness and put the body back

in its natural state of health. It is of my firm belief that the body

WANTS to be healthy, but the way most people live is not at all

conducive to the bodies innate natural desire to be healthy.
