Don’t Get Cancer!

51 Ways to Protect Your Family;

A Homeopathic, Nutritional and Common Sense Perspective

 

Joette Calabrese, HMC,CCH,RSHom(NA)

The best way to beat cancer and other chronic illness is to prevent it in the first place.  And the methods aren’t that difficult to accomplish if we stay within reasonable guidelines that have been followed throughout the ages.  At first some of these proposals may seem daunting, but once you analyze them, you’ll surely find that many of the suggestions are already a part of your daily habit.  Take on a few new ones right away and resolve to complete the rest of the list over a period of a few months or so.  

In my work as a homeopath, I speak to many folks with cancer and those who have it in their family.  In fact, my family has a high incidence of cancer as well.  I hail from a large family and there are far too many members we’ve lost to this modern scourge.  In every case, the illness might have been predicted. One died after using Nutri-sweet in his daily coffee over many years, another after many years of birth control pills and other suppressive methods to deal with hormonal problems, another after decades of  steroids for asthma and still another after repeated invasive surgeries .  Far too many times I see folks who have and are taking many drugs for a myriad of illnesses.  They believe there are no choices, when in fact there are many.  We need to step outside the arena of a drug-for-every-ill mentality and search authentic wellness.  Actually, what I propose here is creeping into the prevailing thought as we enter an era where Americans have reached the saturation point with the pharma-cartel’s campaigns.

And understandably so.  The body needs the opportunity to complete and resolve illness. Symptoms are the overt manifestation of an illness. If every time we experience a symptom we cover it up with drugs, the body will eventually give up and allow that disease and a deeper disease to manifest.  In fact, the word “symptom” means “sign” in Latin. To disengage a sign that is only representative of what is happening on a deeper level; is tantamount to disconnecting a smoke alarm from the kitchen ceiling while the fire is ablaze on the stove.  It aborts the important information and allows the flame to blaze on the stove and possibly take over the house.  Instead, in homeopathy we don’t subdue the messenger; we stimulate the body to right itself.  In doing so, we consider symptoms to be like gifts because they are the signs that need to be paid attention to - to determine the best chosen remedy.   That is, symptoms give us pertinent information that leads us to the answers we need to resolve the illness. Homeopathy doesn’t treat the symptoms, or even the illness.  Instead, it treats the totality of symptoms, or the person in entirety. This is done without side effects or synergistic effects.   And very politely I would add.   Want to learn more?

 Can we say a medicine is polite?  Why yes!  Homeopathy’s effects are gentle, profound and without consequence. The only result is efficiency.  Homeopathy is noble in its cause.  Its goal is not to have one return time after time for wellness checks, another round of meds or a series of invasive procedures.  Instead, it’s the medicine capable of restoring wellness - that is respectful of humanity.

Here are the 51 ways I’ve gleaned as a mother, homeopathic educator and consultant for over two decades.  If you find these difficult to integrate, know that it has indeed taken over 25 years for me to incorporate all of them in my routine. The following suggestions are not necessarily in order of importance.  I leave that up to you.

1)  Use homeopathy for colds, flu’s, ear infections, fevers, injuries, after tooth extractions, etc.  Any place you’d use antibiotics, analgesics or any over-the-counter meds or prescription drugs. Learn as much as you can about this vital medical discipline.  It can be applied at home with a few books, CD’s and manuals.  If this seems too daunting, schedule a FREE 15 minute phone conversation with me to see if Homeopathy is a fit for your new health strategy   

2)  Get homeopathic care for chronic conditions.  Clean up allergies, resolve blood pressure issues, remove eating disorders, depression and anxiety and put yourself in balance.  The only way to do this is to find a reputable homeopath and meet every two months until the body is fully poised. 

3)  See your alternative health care provider.  Use medical doctors for diagnoses and surgery only when your alternative health care provider (or you) can’t find a solution and surgery is the only way.  Modern medicine has a stellar ability in surgery, diagnosis and emergency care. Everything else they offer is drug laden.  That’s when you head to your alternative practitioner such as your homeopath, chiropractor, acupuncturist, herbalist, etc.

4)  Eat grass fed meat and as rare as you find palatable.  The FDA tells us that meat that’s been frozen for 2 weeks is free from live pathogens, so steak tartar can be enjoyed without concern.  If you find rare meat unpleasant, then at least follow the dairy suggestions in #16.

5)  Eat organic and as much local as possible.  Support small farmers.  They need us and we need them….  ‘Sounds like a match.   Folks are trustworthy when they meet you face to face and the quality of fresh and organic products are far superior.   

6)   Get lots of sunshine.  That is; lay out at noon and without sunscreen.  In fact throw the bottle in the garbage.   Just be prudent and cover up if it’s your first day out in a long time.  Skin cancer can be caused by the sun if the sun has damaged the skin, just as an injury to the breast can cause cancer later. Sun injured skin is caused by a fairly serious burn; the kind that’s memorable.  Instead, allow the sun to give you that nice feel of a tingle on the skin.  Know your skin well enough to recognize when it would be prudent to remove yourself from its rays.  Before a burn can develop, cover up, or head for the shade.  Isn’t that what we did before sunscreen?  The true cause of skin cancer has much more to do with what’s going on inside, not outside.

7)  Honor the family.  Pope Benedict said, “Pray for the integrity of the family”.  The family is the basis of your team for life.   If you’re not married yet; choose well.  The trauma from poor marital choices can put one in harm’s way for many chronic illnesses due to significant stresses.  If you’re married, remember that love is a choice.

8)   Prepare your own meals.  This means nothing from a box.   If you’re reading labels, you’ve already made the wrong selection.   Buy plain chicken, fresh broccoli, a head of lettuce, fresh eggs, and butter.   At least start by making your own salad dressings.  I have been helping Moms to prepare healthy foods with my CD Secret Spoonfuls – Confessions of a Sneaky Mom 

9)   Make your pro-biotic edible.  No need to buy expensive pro-biotics in capsules.  Instead, eat food with live enzymes daily….delicious fermented vegetables.  Make them yourself…they’re easy to assemble!  Or buy from your local health food store.  Probiotics are also found in real yogurt, raw milk, raw vinegar, old fashioned styled pickles, sauerkraut and raw egg yolks.

10)  Eat a diet in high fat: butter, lard, coconut oil, chicken    fat, whole fat dairy products and do so in abundance. Forget moderation; we’ve eaten a low fat paradigm for decades.  It’s time to compensate for those faulty years. Animal and tropical fats are what our bodies need and crave.  Eschew the “olas”…..canolas, Mazola….they’re manufactured names for made up products.

11)   Don’t use deodorant.  Instead, shower and rub coconut oil in well.  Then use baking soda and French clay.  One of my favorite ways to do this is to mix in small container one half baking soda with one half French or edible clay. If you want a fragrance, stir in a drop or two of lavender, tangerine or lemon oil.  Keep this on your bathroom counter in a lovely container.  Lightly dab it on the skin, wipe off any residue, too much can cause a mild irritation because of the salt in the baking soda.  

12)  No chemical hair dyes. The most sophisticated look in older women is a flattering hair style with natural grey tresses.  Most dyes look peculiar anyway.

13)  No mammograms.  The information they offer is not definitive.   And multiple exposures to the scanning rays can cause damage to the sensitive tissues. Trauma to the breast is a documented cause of breast cancer.  Instead, consider the new high-tech diagnostic tool called thermography. It can help detect cancer and disease anywhere in the body.  It’s non-invasive, painless and reliable.  Ask your alternative practitioner for references.

14)  Get gentle exercise, such as a walk in fresh air at least every few days with a friend or your spouse.  A second good choice if you’re not into athletics is to bounce your way to light exercise with a rebounder.  Inexpensive and fun with the music playing.

15)  Pray and follow your faith fully by going to church or synagogue regularly.  Teach your children to do the same…it gounds us to our true purpose in life.

16)  Drink raw milk and in plentitude no matter your age.  If you’re allergic or have intolerance to even raw milk then seek homeopathic care.  Europeans, Native Americans, Africans and any culture in which milk was drunk for centuries should be capable of imbibing.  Most milk intolerances are attributable to the process of high heat that the delicate milk is subjected to.  If there is still a problem with raw milk, it means there’s a metabolic block that can be relieved by good homeopathic constitutional care.

17)   Learn about vaccines…not from the people who promote them, but from those who don’t. The science behind the vaccine theory is faulty. Learn how to protect yourself and family through homeopathy.  Homeopathy has a reputation throughout the world for protecting against the most virulent infectious diseases.  Read the testimonies my clients have sent me.

18)  Forget invasive medical procedures unless there is a warning that something is truly wrong. That is; mammograms, colonoscopies, sonograms, x-rays, amniocentesis.  Save them for when there’s a need to find out why there are unusual symptoms. Most of these methods are expensive in relationship to our well-being.  They can be justified only under pathological conditions.

19)  If you’re light skinned and freckled it’s likely you’ll have a-typical cells develop on the skin from time to time.  A-typical cells are not synonymous with cancer.  Let me repeat; a-typical cells do not mean cancer.  They are cells that perhaps could turn into cancer some day.  Big difference.  If they show up and of course, even if they don’t, then keep cancer from developing by embracing a healthier life style.  

20) No root canals.  Take care of your teeth before problems begin.  That is, eat whole fat such as butter, raw milk, eggs, cheese, yogurt and kefir.   If in spite of your efforts (after all, heredity comes into play in regards to our teeth. Well everything, for that matter) a root canal is suggested by your dentist, find a dentist who will consider pulling the tooth instead.  George Meinig, DDS the founder of the association of root canal specialists, stated in his book “Root Canal Cover-up” that after years of performing and teaching root canal procedures, he believes they are a dangerous practice, setting up the body for later chronic disease.  Cancer has frequently been linked to a smoldering inflammation.  What better place for this to occur than in a faulty root canal.  Dr.  Meinig’s book is available at Amazon.com

21)   “If you don’t want it in; don’t put it on your skin.”  I’ve said this for years particularly since I suffered with eczema as a young person and learned the hard way. What we rub into the skin is directly absorbed into the blood stream.  Hence if your skin is dry, chapped, has rashes, etc. put nothing on it unless it’s 100% edible.  Anything put on the skin is absorbed into the blood stream within minutes.  I first recognized this when I used to rub my children’s feet with olive oil and fresh garlic when they had a fever.  (By the way, this method often aids illnesses that result in fever).  Within minutes of applying the garlic, I could smell it on their breath. That’s how fast the skin absorbs anything applied to it. This doesn’t mean that we are safe to use products that include oats or aloe vera, likely these are not the only ingredients.  Preservatives, steroids, colorants and synthetic fragrances are unsafe and require the liver to work overtime.  A good skin lotion?  Try coconut oil, butter without salt, lard…even plain yogurt rubbed in well.  And no petroleum oil please.

22)  Read intelligent literature.  Listen to intelligent music. Immerse yourself with information that’s not proposed by big industry and or government. Find the answers from those with a conscience.  It will make you smarter, so you won’t be as susceptible to marketing suggestions of capricious and budget-aware medical arenas.  I can predict the health of someone by asking what they read. 

23)  Learn to live with an occasional headache, stomach ache, fever, acne, sore muscles.  Quit whining, Go to bed and sweat it out.  Not everything requires a pill.  This is another way of saying stay away from drugs.  When we remove the symptom now, we pay later.

24)  Find alternatives to chemicals for cleaning and maintaining your home.  Bon Ami is a great cleanser without chlorine, vinegar naturally disinfects the floors, countertops and makes windows sparkle.  Learn the old methods that aren’t toxic. 

25)  Stay away from canned, plastic and aseptic contained foods.  This harkens once again to the edict of making your own meals.  Container foods are replete with unhealthy methods and additives.

26)  No soy, no fruit juice that you don’t juice yourself, no margarine and absolutely no diet soda…..Do I really need to mention this?  No artificial ingredients.

27)  Eat at home. Then invite family and friends. What fun!  It’s less costly to your pocket book as well as your health.  No one will prepare food as lovingly and purely as you.  Well…. maybe, but who can really afford to eat a Maxim’s in Paris every night?

28)  Learn how to use homeopathy for everyday issues.  I’ve already said this earlier but it bears repeating.  Knowing how to treat your family is empowering, inexpensive and safe.  Get yourself a homeopathy kit of 50-100 of the top remedies most often used, some CD’s, books and start studying what your family suffers from most.  Then you’ll be prepared with safe and effective treatment.    Too intimidating? Then get yourself a good homeopath and count on him/ her to do it for you. Check out this great offer if you truly want be your family’s “go-to for health” Mom.

29)  Absolutely no lawn sprays.  Instead simply toss grass seed on the lawn on a regular basis and give it a neat edge cut around it.   It makes for a lush and tidy lawn. Lawn sprays are made from lethal derivatives of Agent Orange used in Viet Nam.  Just in case you’re too young to know, the use of these neuro toxins resulted in our soldiers returning with remarkable numbers of chronic illness, cancer and early deaths. 

30) In relation to pesticides, no insecticides either!  Carpenter ants are best dealt with by finding their source…wet, rotted wood.  Once you find their nest, you’ll be grateful they pointed the way.  They only live in these conditions and you need to find it anyway.  Then replace the wood, clean out the nest and pour boric acid mixed 50/50 with powdered sugar.  It will kill those that remain and the sugar will attract them to complete the job.  Fire ants and other insects can be exterminated with a pot of boiling hot water poured on the infestation.

31)  Throw out your microwave. Use your stove top, oven, toaster oven or crock pot instead. It has been shown that micro-waved foods rearrange the chemical constituents of food.  A landmark law suit in 1991 provided evidence that microwaving can cause a health threat. Norma Levitt was killed when the blood used for her transfusion, was warmed in a microwave by a nurse!

32)  Keep your organs.  I know, it seems like we don’t need the uterus after menopause, the appendix or adenoids, but God didn’t make a mistake in allowing them to sit there as useless tissue ready to make trouble. Despite modern medical-babble, each and every organ has a basis for existence even after time.  If an organ is cancerous, it could justify the removal.  Then we use homeopathy and whole nutrition to remove the incidence of its return.  Unfortunately, far too many folks submit to a gall bladder removal only to find that a few short years later, cancer appears.  This is not a coincidence.  When an organ gives you trouble, see your alternative practitioner.  Chiropractic, homeopathy, naturopathy, acupuncture and other medical paradigms have a history of addressing ills that many are unaware of.

33)  Abstain from hormones.  No birth control pills, suppressive shots or IUD’s with added hormones.  Using synthetic hormones to eliminate the possibility of pregnancy is dangerous tampering with a powerful endocrine system.  Mother Nature doesn’t like to be interfered with.  Instead, learn how your body works by becoming acquainted with the exquisite method of Natural Family Planning. Breast, liver and cervical cancers have been associated with the taking of birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy. These types of suppressive measures carry a big punch.

34)  When it’s time for menopause, enjoy a high fat traditional diet instead of submitting to hormones.  You might find that your hormones don’t really need to be replaced by synthetic drugs of commerce.  And quite possibly you won’t become a more likely candidate for cancer later in life.  Worry about bone loss? We’re not drug deficient…we’re nutrient deficient.  Instead of synthetic medicaments eat bone broths, full fat yogurt and or raw milk regularly and your bones will naturally be strong.  Logic is a beautiful thing.

35)  Here’s something you might not have yet heard.  A link has been shown between abortions and breast cancer later in life.  It’s just another form of suppression.  

36)  It’s easy to follow someone else’s direction and just take an antibiotic or steroids.  It takes more effort to know when an illness is something you can handle yourself.  In fact everything worthwhile is worth our committed effort.  Learn to take care of yourself and family.  We’ve been medically and drug dependent for far too long.

37)  Drink pure water.  Have yours checked for contaminants and then rectify.  Make sure you eliminate any fluoride in your water.  This brings me to the next entry.

38)  No fluoride treatments or toothpastes with flouride as an ingredient.  Studies (and there are plenty) show that fluoride treatments have been linked to to cancer.

39)  Inflammation is the big buzz word in relation to cancer and other chronic illnesses.  So what can cause inflammation?  Think of the foods you eat.  For many, one of the most inflammatory foods is grains.  Minimize your intake of grains particularly if you already have an inflammation such as swollen joints, stools that are not well formed and/or chronic sinus drainage.  Often the foods we eat are the exciting cause.

40) Eat foods that are traditional and have been eaten by healthy folk for centuries.  No manufactured foods, low fat, sugarless gimmicks.

41)  Use glass to store your foods.  Use cast iron and enamel cookware.  Use glass or 100% lead –free ceramic dishes. 

42)  Wash your clothes in unscented laundry detergent and avoid the fabric softener.

43)  Don’t dry clean your clothes.  You might be surprised how often most clothes, even wool can be cleaned by setting outside for a few days to air out.  Many can be gently hand washed.  Then take them to the drycleaners for a professional pressing.  I’ve done this with wool skirts, pants and even wool coats.

44)  Stay away from sugar substitutes.  Sugar is implicated in many ills, but Nutri-sweet and its cousins are the true scoundrels of the sweet world.

45)  Avoid Coffee. I always hesitate to mention this, but I urge you to make whatever you do daily to be 100% towards adding value to life.  And that includes a discussion of coffee.  Coffee is not only a stimulant, but a diuretic that is implicated in many ills, particularly urinary tract and heart.  If you’re seeking optimum health, this is an important consideration.

46)  Use the Hot Water Bottle.   With the cold weather months at present, many are getting their electric blankets in the ready.  Instead, I urge you to use hot water bottles in bed instead.  There have been dangerous associations between electro-magnetic rays and developing fetuses.  The energy of electricity so close to and associated with the body can be disturbing to the body’s ability to rest properly, heal and is implicated in certain cancers.

47)    Eat fats, fats and more fats…that are traditional fats.  Enjoy them in abundance and not only for their culinary delights, but the robust health you’ll experience as a result.  Butter, coconut oil, lard, the skin on chicken, the fat that comes in the beef and lamb, cod liver oil, whole real cream, full-fat cheese, full fat yogurt.  Eat like a gourmet, like an epicurean European or an old time American farmer.   Worried about gaining weight?  Then eliminate the grains and other carbohydrates.  

48)  Make birth a simple, natural event.  No drugs and procedures please.  If you’ve already had your children, encourage the next generation to embrace natural methods of birth and then support them.

49)  Nurse your babies.  Nothing is better for baby as well as mother than to nurse for an extended time.

50) Stay away from meds.  I know I’ve mentioned this before, but I tend to repeat myself when I get excited.  Medications are increasingly implicated as cancer producing agents.  Keep your body pure.  Sweat out a fever (its curative), put up with a cold and treat the rash homeopathically.  Adjust your life to the needs of your body.  Don’t force your body to acquiesce to a drug.   The body has the ability to resolve many health issues if allowed to respond without restraint.  Every pill, ointment, or capsule is a method of concealing the body’s natural ability to right the wrong.  Suppressed symptoms equal pathology later…not always cancer, but why take the chance?  Learn to cure yourself and family.

51)  Do your homework.  Just because someone tells you that this is it, doesn’t mean it is.  Question, find the alternative and then question them as well.  There are more myths abounding than truths.
