🌿 Overview
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. More than 100 types exist. Natural approaches focus on rebuilding the immune systemYour body's built-in defense team that fights off germs and helps you heal. More →, eliminating the dietary and environmental causes, and creating a body environment hostile to cancer growth. These measures complement — and significantly affect the outcome of — medical treatment.
Dr. Otto Warburg (Nobel Prize) noted: 'More is known about the cause and prevention of cancer than most any other disease.' Up to 80% of cancers are lifestyle-related. Cancer cells live primarily on glucose fermentation rather than oxygen — meaning that an oxygenated, alkaline, low-sugar body environment is inherently hostile to cancer. Diet, exercise, and elimination of toxins address the root cause; nutrition and herbal support strengthen immune function.
