Cancer and What Can Be Done About It

What scares us about cancer is that it is considered a fatal disease. The pathophysiology of cancer is very simple and very complex at the same time. It is complex because it involves a number of events that occur in the body and lead to a self-sustaining and propagating condition involving gene activation and deactivation, action or inaction of the immune system, inflammation, interaction with the environment, hormonal and mineral imbalances, viral component etc. A recent article in the Toronto Star reported that only 30% of cancer risk is genetic, 70% is exposure to toxic environmental conditions and lifestyle that create inflammatory processes in the body.

It is simple because "cancer" is formed in the body every day, in other words mistakes in the DNA occur on a daily basis, the extent and the consequence of these mistakes depend on the extent of imbalance, toxicity, age, genetics and environment. If the body is in balance, the immune system is alerted and it detects cancer and encapsulates it in a fibrous tissue to prevent further spread. If the immune system is busy doing lots of house keeping, the alert signal of a DNA error can get lost in the array of other signals alerting the immune system. Once the crucial time is missed, cancer may hide the receptors by which it is identified to the immune system and start the formation of blood vessels to get proper nutrition for further development. This is when it becomes a self-sustaining condition.

Surgery, radiation and chemotherapy are the main focus of conventional medicine. All of them can either extend your life or shorten it. But none of them addresses the cause.

Not many people know that alternative, much less invasive cancer and cancer support therapies, are available for cancer treatments. One of them is intravenous vitamin C, which in high doses acts as a chemotherapy for cancer cell while being very protective for healthy cells. There are natural immune system stimulants, natural substances that block the capability of cancer to form blood vessels thus preventing the spread, there are also natural anti-metastatic agents. These alternative cancer treatments are much less toxic, more effective and improve the quality of life.

Cancer Detection

Early cancer detection is of paramount importance. At Stop the Clock Naturopathic Clinic (serving Mississauga, Oakville, Etobicoke, West Toronto), we teach patients how to do self-exams to detect signs of cancer.

Conventional medicine offers annual or biannual mammograms for early breast cancer detection. Unfortunately, frequent exposure to radiation leads to a higher risk of cancer development. Therefore, learning how to perform breast self-exams properly is essential for every woman. Both mammogram and breast self-exams can detect a tumor once it has been formed. Thermography, however, is an alternative. non-invasive, more sensitive breast screening tool. Thermography permits the assessment of the risk of cancer development at a very early stage.

Thermography - Better Cancer Detection

Thermography detects areas of increased blood supply that may be feeding a tumour, by heat emitted from the body, indicating potential risks. Thermography is non-invasive, radiation free and many times more sensitive than mammography. This additional cancer detection sensitivity gives much earlier warning signs, perhaps years more of advanced warning, than mammography. Thermography gives an option to start preventive treatment, which reduces the risks. Please check www.thermography-mw.com for more information or

In our clinic, we use thermography for breast cancer risk assessment and monitoring of treatment progress.

Cancer does not need to be a fatal or a devastating disease and cancer reoccurrence can be prevented if found and treated early enough.

At Stop the Clock Naturopathic Clinic (serving Mississauga, Oakville, Etobicoke, West Toronto), we utilize a variety of alternative, natural cancer and cancer support treatments, including intravenous vitamin C therapy, to support the natural defenses and the ability of the body to heal.
