How does breathing optimally lead to preventing or healing illness? Can you pass a breathing test? These are some of the questions being asked and answered here along with a few other suggestions of how a natural approach to health and wellness can help

Breathing is not just about sucking in air
now and again! And there are certainly advantages for health.

Preventing and healing of cancer

Many of us are aware of somebody who has been affected in some way by cancer
cancer now or have had it in the past or someone in their family or in their circle
of friends

At this very moment, as I write, a close member of my family has just been
diagnosed with a malignant tumor in the salivary glands leading to invasive surgery and a loss of facial muscle use. Over 20 yrs ago I had cancer of the cervix which was removed via drastic surgery and my own mother died of a cancer that had spread into the lymphatic system. One of my uncles died of skin cancer not too long ago.

So this serious illness has definitely affected myself and dear ones
ones and perhaps people you know also. The good news is that in this modern age of information, the ability to become aware of the issues and remedies avilable, make it much more possible to become an active participant in our own healing process and to be able to take early preventative steps and be able to support conventional

To this end I have drawn up a list below of some of the main areas, activities,
foods and lifestyle choices that are generally associated with an increased risk of cancer. Not all of them are directly causal but all are contributory.

What it Might Be Best To Avoid

1. Fatty foods in the diet from fatty meat. Maintaining a high protein, high fat diet
2. Too much coffee, tea and fizzy drinks
3. Aflatoxins i.e fungal products found in foods like peanuts and soya
4. A diet that doesn’t include a sufficient amount of minerals, vitamins and iodine
5. Nitrosamines and amines which can be found in food that has not been refrigerated, in processed meat and
cheese
6. Slow movement of foods through the colon
7. Overeating (associated in 35% of all cancers) and being overweight
8. Certain types of mushrooms.
9. A diet high in refined foods and sugars
10. History of having had any cancer before
11. Diabetes
12. Promiscuity and early sexual experience – especially in the case of cervical cancer
13. gene history, the family you come from, what sex you are, your occupation
14. Estrogens
15. Some hair dyes
16. Viral infections, flu, colds, diarrhea and rashes
17. Drugs such as antibiotics, aspirin, water tablets, immunosuppressants,
amphetamines or antihistamines
18. Smoking and drinking alcohol to excess
19. Overexposure to industrial toxic fumes and chemicals
solvents, asbestos and hydrocarbons
20. Stress, especially if prolonged or consistent, depression and guilt
21. Excessive exposure to radiation and hot or cold conditions.
22. contaminated and not so pure drinking water.
23. A habit of shallow or poor breathing

All of these, singly or accumulatively, can lead to an overtaxing of the sympathetic nervous system which ultimately leads to increased susceptibility to toxemia and acidosis which is the right environment for anaerobic organisms to multiply and take over.

If you are not breathing correctly this may not be directly linked to cancer but because cancer is
anerobic and is unable to thrive where there are high concentrations of oxygen, anything
that increases the oxygen in your body and blood supply is good. Breathing poorly can result in serious compromises in health as well as your
emotional and mental wellbeing.

Oxygen is in fact a natural antibiotic and so optimal breathing is one way to ensure a good supply of material with which to fight viruses and bacteria

For the best chances of success with a cancer treatment, make sure you
practice and develop your breathing.

Creeping Cancer

The term, cancer originally comes from the latin word for crab. Cancer was
described as a crab-like disease by Hippocrates, who noticed that cancer, by
nature ‘crawls’ or spreads and sprawls through the body, eventually leading to death. Now cancer is more usually defined as an uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells in the body. Cancer is actually more than one disease and is a general term used to describe over 100 different types, but what is common about them is that they all include a process whereby body cells multiply in an uncontrolled way.

because cancer is anaerobic it is unable to survive in the presence of oxygen. This explains
why the One organ that is otherwise so prone to failing under constant stress and poor diet, the heart, in fact never gets cancer. The heart absolutely thrives on a good supply of oxygen.

How breathing exercises can help

Deep breathing exercises fill the lungs with a plentiful supply of oxygen enabling the body to work at full capacity for optimal health and giving the best chances against contracting more serious diseases such as cancer

What we need to remember, however is that along with the use of oxygen the body produces a potentially lethal by-product known as free radicals which need to be dealt with by making sure you take in foods rich in antioxidants.

What antioxidants do

Antioxidants found in some foods prevent or slow the oxidative damage to our
body.They act as “free radical scavengers” and in this way prevent and repair any damage done by these free radicals.

Antioxidants are provided by taking nutrients such as Vitamin A and carotenoids, Vitamin C found mainly in citrus fruits and green leafy vegetables, Vitamin E found in nuts and grains, Selenium (in fish, red meat, eggs, garlic) and superfoods like Saw Palmetto and Acai berry.

Other common antioxidants include flavonoids from pomegranate and purple grapes, lycopene from tomatoes, lutein from dark green vegetables, and lignan from oats and rye

Natural Alternative Treatments

More alternative treatnments which can support healing from cancer include inner cleansing
parasite elimination, de-stressing and changing one’s self defeating thoughts and attitudes. Lowering stress and Changing one’s attitude has a direct bearing on theimmune system and five of the best ways to do this are laughter, daily positive affirmations, listening to relaxation music, walks in nature and various meditative practices

Being too hypervigilant, usually connected to some past trauma which puts the body on hyperalert, or thinking negatively
feelings of guilt, putting blame onto others, being over critical of self, in combination with poor
hygiene and toxic overload can create an environment that invites a flood of
unfriendly bacteria and other organisms into the body. In the end the body’s immune
system, electro-chemical and energy system and the body’s vital life flow becomes
overwhelmed by chaos, disruptions and blockages.All of this may encourage cancer
and other serious diseases to take over.

EFT and Tapping

This new and latest energy therapy is based on tapping on the acupressure points of the body to unblock any blocks in the energy flow of the body which may have come about through mental, physical, environmental and emotional upsets and stresses.

In summary

A positive attitude, good nutrition, proper breathing and body energy balancing
protects you from cancer and other serious illnesses. Remaining relaxed and calm is preferable to being angry or having consistent feelings of guilt. Optimal Breathing can contribuite to a lowered risk of cancer, healing of cancer already present and better overall health.The more you practice proper breathing, maintain an optimistic frame of mind, feel confident and empowered the more likely you are to be healthy.
