										</div><p></p><p>Hysterectomies have come into vogue in the last decade or so. Uterines are being removed left and right, <em>even if they are not causing risk to the woman&#8217;s life.</em></p>
<p>But what if you have uterine cancer? Isn&#8217;t a hysterectomy the only option?</p>
<p>Far from it. There are natural and effective ways to deal with this and any kind of cancer, and one of the best means is by <a href="http://freetoliveyourdreams.com/where-to-buy-essential-oils">use of essential oils</a>. (See the disclaimer in the sidebar before you continue reading this post.)</p>
<p>The essential oil remedy for uterine cancer is as follows:</p>
<p>Combine:</p>
<ul>
<li>25 drops of frankincense</li>
<li>20 drops lavender</li>
<li>15 drops myrrh</li>
<li>10 drops helichrysum</li>
<li>10 drops cypress</li>
<li>3 drops peppermint</li>
<li>Add 5 drops rosemary if infection is a concern.</li>
</ul>
<p>Put ten drops of the above mixture into one ounce of a carrier oil and use a clean douche container to implant into the vaginal area. Or, take a tampon and soak it in this mixture with the carrier oil. Insert the tampon at bedtime and leave it in overnight.</p>
<p>Do this every day for the first five days. Then, do it four times a week. When the symptoms diminish and/or the cancer starts shrinking, go down to three times a week. Then twice a week, and once a week. Taking a marine phytoplankton supplement also supports in the healing of all cancers.</p>
<p>Essential oils can kill cancer. Although I can make no guarantees, if you would like to avoid surgery, this may be the place to start. <a href="http://freetoliveyourdreams.com/where-to-buy-essential-oils">Click here</a> to read about why not all essential oil brands are created equal, and where you can buy the best.</p>

But when you find out that such simple, inexpensive remedies as using <a href="http://thecrunchycoach.com/blog/baking-soda-cure">baking soda for colds</a> actually work for many people, you can&#8217;t help but wonder why there can&#8217;t be a natural and simple Alzheimer&#8217;s disease treatment.</p>
<p>Actually, there is strong evidence that certain nutrients and lifestyle choices can greatly reduce one’s risk of developing Alzheimer’s – even if it’s in your genes. So, why couldn’t those same changes and choices help someone who already has symptoms?</p>
<p>Some people say from experience: They <em>can</em>.<br />
<script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
google_ad_client = "ca-pub-7686985911098192";/* crunchycontent */google_ad_slot = "1070416109";google_ad_width = 336;google_ad_height = 280;
// ]]&gt;</script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"></script></p>
<p>The following protocol is based on a mix of the studies of the habits of the longest-lived people in the world, research results, and common sense. It is not guaranteed to either prevent or effectively treat the disease, but since Alzheimer cures are as yet non-existent it provides a good starting point.</p>
<h1>Steps for treating Alzheimer’s Disease</h1>
<h2>1. Cut out all processed food.</h2>
<p>It is not only lacking in nutrients vital for brain function, but also much of it contains chemicals that disturb brain chemistry.</p>
<h2>2. Add coconut oil to the diet.</h2>
<p>Coconut oil is a healthy form of saturated fat with some anti-Alzheimer’s anecdotal evidence behind it. For example, some have given several tablespoons of coconut oil per day to the patient they were caring for, and actually saw a regression in the symptoms. This is largely due to the fact that saturated fat is essential for proper brain function.</p>
<h2>3. Perform a heavy metal detox.</h2>
<p>This brain disease is sometimes caused by exposure to aluminum, and probably other heavy metals and toxins as well. Getting the aluminum out of the system may slow down the progression of the disease. And, of course, then stop cooking with aluminum.</p>
<h2>4. Take specific supplements.</h2>
<p>Vitamin E is strongly correlated with the prevention of Alzheimer’s because of its antioxidant effects. Find a supplement that does not contain dl-tocopherols.</p>
<p>Take a supplement, such as cod liver oil, that is high in omega-3’s. Or, consume wild-caught salmon twice a week.</p>
<p>Take a B-complex supplement. They not only generally improve brain function and mood, but also reduce homocysteine, which damages neurons.</p>
<h2>5. Use essential oils two to three times daily.</h2>
<p>Essential oils pass through the blood-brain barrier, and thus can have powerful healing effects for any kind of mental challenge. Frankincense, helichrysum and lavender are powerhouses in this arena.</p>
<p>An Alzheimer’s cure is as yet unknown, but taking the above steps may result in noticeable positive effects within just a few months. (Just remember: <strong>RESULTS ARE NOT GUARANTEED.)</strong><br />

<p>Before I get too far into this article, I have to tell you that I use the word &#8220;cures&#8221; with caution. The fact is, there is no cure for cancer. There is no cure for <em>anything</em>. Rather, there are ways to give the body the support it needs to bring out its own natural healing powers.</p>
<p>So the techniques I am about to mention should be considered in that light. Also, always be sure to consult with a licensed healthcare practitioner before giving up medications and/or trying something new to heal your body.</p>
<h2>Alternative Cancer Cures</h2>
<ol>
<li>Asparagus treatment: cook and puree asparagus and store in refrigerator. Patient takes 4 tablespoons twice a day, morning and evening. Reports generally are that improvement begins within a month.</li>
<li>Mineral treatment: use functional medicine or hair analysis to find out which minerals you are deficient in. Begin taking the necessary mineral supplements.</li>
<li>Budwig diet: German physician Johanna Budwig developed an effective diet that focuses on flaxseed oil, cottage cheese and raw fruits and vegetables.</li>
<li>Gerson therapy: consume only fresh juices, focusing on vegetables, and cleanse regularly with enemas.</li>
<li>Sunlight: cancer is often caused by a lack of vitamin D. While I wouldn&#8217;t count on using sunlight all by itself to treat cancer, I would recommend anyone healing from the disease to get out in the sun for at least an hour a day.</li>
<li>Ozonated water: ozonate the water you drink with an ozone generator. You can also buy appliances that put ozone into the air of your bedroom while you sleep. Some people have actually found healing from cancer in this way.</li>
</ol>
<h2>Prevention is the best alternative cancer cure</h2>
<p>Create a lifestyle that includes the following principles, and you are likely never to have to worry about cancer showing up in your body.</p>
<ul>
<li>Eat a diet high in raw foods.</li>
<li>Limit meat to 4 ounces once a day, or less frequently.</li>
<li>Stay away from all processed foods, including pastuerized dairy.</li>
<li>Use high-quality essential oils on a daily basis.</li>
<li>Reduce stress. As much as you can.</li>
<li>Exercise for at least thirty minutes a day, at least four days a week.</li>
<li>Drink at least 8 eight-ounce glasses of purified water every day. More if it&#8217;s hot.</li>
<li>Avoid man-made chemicals like the plague: conventional personal hygiene products, tap water (use a shower filter), conventional household cleaners, etc.</li>
</ul>
<div>The treatments described above give only a partial list of possible alternative cancer cures. Do your due diligence in the area, and I am confident you will find a natural mode of healing that fits your body to a T.</div>

<blockquote>
<div>
<p>Hello, I was reading your article on <a href="http://thecrunchycoach.com/blog/essential-oils">essential oils</a> for women. I was wondering what will dissolve a cyst. I have 1 that is really acting up again. It can really hurt so bad! do I rub it on, ingest it, insert it vaginally? Please help! Also, what brand of oils do you use and recommend? I have a cousin who has cyst and fibroids&#8230;I will be passing this on to her!Thank you so much for your time! <img src='http://thecrunchycoach.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
</div>
</blockquote>
<div>My response:</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div>Hi, [name withheld privacy's sake],</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div>Thank you for visiting my blog and taking the time to make a contact!</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div>I once had a concern about what I thought might be an abnormal growth on my son&#8217;s upper thigh, and e-mailed the staff at Be Young Essential Oils about it. They recommended e.o. of bay laurel rubbed topically 2X/day for benign tumors or growths.</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div>However, since you mentioned possibly vaginally inserting something, I&#8217;m guessing you have something like ovarian cysts or endometriosis?</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div>In that case, allow me to copy to you exactly what is recommended in the Be Young E.O. Desk Reference book:</div>
<h2>Cysts on ovary</h2>
<div>Combine the following oils in one ounce carrier oil [preferably organic olive, grapeseed or almond oil] and mix well.</div>
<div>     10 drops <em>Venus for Women </em>blend</div>
<div>      4 drops <em>Cyprus</em></div>
<div><em><br />
</em></div>
<div>&#8211;Do vaginal implant with a bulb syringe or whatever will work. Leave in oils overnight, using a tampon to retain as much oil overnight as possible.</div>
<p><script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">// <![CDATA[</p>
<p>// ]]&gt;</script></p>
<h2>Endometriosis</h2>
<div>Combine the following oils in the order listed:</div>
<div>      10 drops <em>Frankincense</em></div>
<div><em>      </em>10 drops <em>Lavender</em></div>
<div><em>      5</em> drops <em>Cypress</em></div>
<div>      5 drops <em>Tea Tree </em>(for sensitive uterus)</div>
<div>                  or <em>Rosemary </em>(for higher tolerance to pain)</div>
<div>      1-3 drops <em>Helichrysum</em></div>
<div>       2 drops <em>Geranium </em>(for emotions)</div>
<div>&#8211;Mix 10 drops of the above blend in 1 ounce carrier oil.</div>
<div>&#8211;Do vaginal implant with a bulb syringe or whatever will work. Leave in oils overnight, using a tampon to retain as much oil as possible.</div>
<div>You should experience results within one week, keep the process going for three weeks.</div>
<h2>Endometriosis and cysts</h2>
<div> Combine the following oils:</div>
<div>     50 drops <em>lavender</em></div>
<div>     20 drops<em> rosemary</em></div>
<div>     10 drops<em> tea tree</em></div>
<div>     10 drops <em>basil</em></div>
<div>      5 drops <em>helichrysum</em></div>
<div>      5 drops <em>peppermint</em></div>
<div>&#8211;Mix 10 drops of the above blend in one ounce carrier oil.</div>
<div>&#8211;Implant before retiring for the night, on the odd days of your cycle, using a tampon to retain as much oil overnight as possible.</div>
<h2>Endometriosis and uterine fibroids</h2>
<div>     14 drops <em>tea tree</em></div>
<div>     15 drops <em>lavender</em></div>
<div>     10 drops <em>cypress</em></div>
<div>      5 drops <em>helichrysum</em></div>
<div>      2 drops <em>frankincense</em></div>
<div>&#8211;Take 15 drops of this mixture in an ounce of carrier oil for the vaginal implantation and maintain it overnight with a tampon.</div>
<div>&#8211;Do this every night for the first week and then twice a week thereafter.</div>
<div>Always do maintenance once/month, typically a few days after your flow.</div>
<h2>Fibroid Cyst</h2>
<div>&#8211;Rub, in succession, 10 drops frankincense, 8 drops lavender, 5 drops cypress, 5 drops geranium, 2 drops helichrysum, and 1 drop peppermint on the abdomen.</div>
<div>&#8211;Be sure to drink at least 128 ounces of water daily, otherwise a healing crisis could occur.</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div>Okay,The Crunchy Coach here again, done quoting from the e-mail. If you&#8217;ve been around this blog for any period of time, you know that I believe that the best natural treatment for ovarian cysts &#8211; in fact, the best natural treatment for almost <em>anything </em>(read my disclaimer in the sidebar==&gt;) - is essential oils. Check out <a href="http://thecrunchycoach.com/blog/essential-oils">this page</a> to read which brand is the best, and why.</div>

										</div><p></p><p>What is the <a href="http://thecrunchycoach.com/blog/cinnamon-and-honey-the-secret-cure-all">truth about honey and cinnamon</a>? You may have heard, as I wrote in a previous post, about the many healing power claims of the combination of these two foods. And in that post, I give few of those claims very much credence.  The main reason is that I believe that the curative properties either of these foods may have are likely to bring only short-term results. Long-term results come from long-term lifestyle changes, such as changing your eating habits or exercising more.</p>
<p>But all skepticism aside, I want to take a look at each food separately, so we can get a clear picture about what health benefits it may or may not bring to the body.</p>
<h2>Honey</h2>
<p>There is evidence to the claims that honey contains antioxidants and is anti-bacterial. As for the latter, raw honey has been used for centuries as an anti-septic on minor wounds. The application of honey to a cut seems to reduce the likelihood of infection as well as promote faster healing.</p>
<p>Understanding the healing power of plants in general, I can certainly see how the honey made from flower nectar can also contain some kind of anti-microbial constituent. However, so do a lot of herbs, spices and essential oils which bring many more health benefits to the body than does honey.</p>
<p>If we want to get down to the nitty-gritty truth about honey and cinnamon, we can’t ignore the claim that raw honey contains antioxidant properties. While this does bear out in scientific research as fact, we have to ask why <em>anything </em>contains antioxidant properties.</p>
<p>I recently read an article which revealed that the reason that sweet foods such as fruits and honey are so high in antioxidants is because if they weren’t, free radicals would run rampant in the food and cause it to rot at a much quicker rate.</p>
<p>Therefore, if you don’t consume many foods with sugar – including honey and fruit – you don’t have to worry so much about antioxidants.</p>
<p>In other words, it may be better to skip the honey than to eat it for its antioxidants.</p>
<h2>Cinnamon</h2>
<p>When digging into the truth about honey and cinnamon, the claims given to the spice have much more credence to me. It has been proven to be anti-fungal, reduce cancer cells, be anti-clotting, improve cognitive function, and – yes, in combination with honey – reduce arthritis pain.</p>
<p>If you are going to use cinnamon for its healing properties, however, I would recommend the essential oil of cinnamon bark, as essential oils tend to be much more powerful than the dried herb when it comes to medicinal properties.</p>
<p>This oil, in addition to having all the properties of the dried spice, is anti-viral and anti-bacterial – and therefore helps to get rid of colds and flus- controls blood sugar, is an astringent, and diminishes digestive problems.</p>
<p>So what is the truth about honey and cinnamon? Take it easy on the honey, and count on a healthy lifestyle to keep you from the maladies that the combination of foods claim to heal. And when you’re sick, cinnamon – especially the essential oil – is probably your better bet.</p>

										</div><p></p><p>Treatment for manic depression, or bipolar disorder, does not have to mean toxic drugs or expensive psychiatric sessions. This mental illness, affecting an estimated seventeen million people in the United States, is characterized by bouts of clinical depression followed by a period when the person feels elated and over-confident. This leads to behaviors like overspending, high-risk investing, gambling and even drug abuse, fighting or sexual promiscuity.</p>
<p>While a few cases may be purely psychological, the general consensus is that the problem stems from an imbalance of the person&#8217;s brains chemistry. Whether caused by a nutritional deficiency or a hormonal imbalance, brain chemistry can be easily set aright by natural means.</p>
<p>Following are five effective treatments for manic depression.</p>
<h2>1. B vitamins</h2>
<p>B vitamins are essential in regulating a variety of hormones that affect mood, particularly endorphines. Since the foods with the highest amount of B vitamins &#8211; animal organs such as liver and brain &#8211; are avoided by most Americans today, a deficiency in the B vitamins is easy to develop.</p>
<p>Probably the best source of B vitamins available in stores today is the Garden of Life Vitamin Code Raw B-Complex, available in many stores.</p>
<h2>2. Whole food diet</h2>
<p>Some find their treatment for manic depression solely consists in adopting a <a href="http://thecrunchycoach.com/blog/healthy-diet">healthy diet</a>. Monosodium glutamate and the myriad of chemicals used to color, flavor and preserve processed foods can alter one&#8217;s brain chemistry. In addition, a whole-foods based diet is much higher in nutrients, which helps the body to be generally healthier.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>**************************</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>Reduce your risk of developing mental illness and degenerative disease! Learn the principles of living in optimum health with my  e-book, <em><a href="http://weirdisgreat.com/weird-health">Weird Health</a>. </em>Download the first few pages for FREE.</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>**************************</strong></span><br />
</em></p>
<h2>3. Daily exercise</h2>
<p>Getting the blood circulating and muscles moving also help the body to release the stress-busting endorphins. While strength training is being more emphasized lately, those with bipolar disorder should not neglect aerobic exercise, as it does more to release those precious hormones.</p>
<h2>4. Time outdoors</h2>
<p>Taking a walk around the block or even hiking a nature trail will not cure manic depression all by itself. However, spending some time every day in the fresh air and enjoying the trees and flowers does wonders to reduce stress levels. And when stress levels go down, so does your risk of mental illness.</p>
<h2>5. Frankincense essential oil</h2>
<p>This oil &#8211; in its completely undiluted, unadulterated form &#8211; is proven to effectively treat mental issues, especially depression. Like the B vitamins, it works on the brain chemistry to get everything into balance. <a href="http://beyoungeo.com/crunchycoach">Be Young Essential Oils</a> also sells a blend called Brain Gem, which contains frankincense, that is specifically formulated to bring the brain back into balance.</p>
<p><a href="http://maqui-and-friends.com">Masaji,</a> another Be Young product, not only contains frankincense essential oil but also is high in B vitamins.</p>
<p>Effective treatment for manic depression is no further than your front door or the nearest health food store. Don&#8217;t allow yourself or your loved ones to suffer with it any longer.</p>

										</div><p></p><p>We all understand the bare-bones basics of putting together a first aid kit: bandages, some kind of disinfectant, some kind of pain reliever. But for those of us who want to avoid chemicals and the toxins found in drugs, putting together first aid kits is more than a matter of picking up a little plastic box at the drug store.</p>
<p>However, thanks to <a href="http://thecrunchycoach.com/blog/essential-oils">essential oils</a>, a natural first aid kit can still be inexpensive and compact in size.</p>
<p>There are six oils that are a must for such a kit.</p>
<h2>1. Peppermint essential oil</h2>
<p>Peppermint relieves pain &#8211; <em>but do not put it on an open wound</em> &#8211; and minimizes bruises. To relieve a headache, apply to the back of the neck, on the forehead, the temples, and the nose (it works even better when used in conjunction with lavender oil).</p>
<p>Put a drop on the tongue to relieve nausea or other gastrointestinal discomfort. Relieve hot flashes by applying to the back of the neck, or drinking a drop in a glass of water.</p>
<p>Put it on a first- or second-degree burn. Relieves bee stings in an instant: drop it on the sting, then tap and blow on it.</p>
<h2>2. Eucalyptus oil</h2>
<p>Eucalyptus (<em>radiata </em>is the safest type) is a powerful anti-bacterial and anti-viral oil, so use it on cuts and scrapes. Apply it across the bridge of the nose and on the sinus area of face to relieve sinus infections.</p>
<p>For the cold or flu, put one drop on the wrist and rub back and forth between it and the forearm, every hour. You can also take it in a capsule two to three times per day.</p>
<p>Applied to the chest, clavicle and on the back it will ease viral infections. A few drops in a foot bath both soothes the feet and prevents illness.</p>
<h2>3. Tea tree oil</h2>
<p>Another must-have for an essential oil first aid kit is tea tree oil. Use it in all the same ways you would use Eucalyptus. For ear infections, apply behind and under the ear, then rub down the jawline.</p>
<p>Speed the healing of pink eye by putting one drop of tea tree oil and 1/4 tsp. salt in warm water. Put this on a compress and hold on the eyes.</p>
<p>For an abscess in the mouth, or sore gums by the molars, apply three times daily.</p>
<p>Use in place of antibiotics after wisdom teeth are removed.</p>
<p>Take a drop under the tongue at the first sign of illness.</p>
<h2>4. Geranium</h2>
<p>Geranium oil relieves pain, calms the emotions, and disinfects. It also will stop bleeding.</p>
<p>For eczema, rub a couple drops in the area a couple times a day, and in about four days it will be healed.</p>
<h2>5. Marjoram</h2>
<p>This is the anti-spasmodic part of your first aid kit. It stops muscle pain, including spasms and any kind of cramping, in its tracks. Apply it to sore leg and arm muscles after working out, and to the back of the neck before bed to support restful sleep.</p>
<p>For hacking coughs, apply to the chest and inhale.</p>
<h2>6. Lavender</h2>
<p>Lavender is anti-any kind of pathogen, helps heal burns, cuts, cysts on face, and scrapes. It relieves insomnia and shock.</p>
<p>It relaxes and soothes the nerves, provides allergy relief, and is antispasmodic. It can calm asthma, colic, whooping cough, flatulence, labor pains, sprains, strains and stress.</p>
<p>It regenerates cells and therefore helps in the healing of scars, thread veins and stretch marks.</p>
<p>It not only repels insects, but helps to heal insect bits as well as other causes of itching. Having a drying effects, it also helps balance oily skin and heal acne and dermatitis.</p>
<p><a href="http://beyoungeo.com/crunchycoach">Buy some undiluted, high-quality essential oils</a> (if a label says &#8220;pure&#8221; it means nothing), add a few bandages to the mix, and your natural first aid kit is ready to go!</p>

										</div><p></p><p>Eucalyptus oil is one of the staples for a natural health medicine cabinet. But be sure to have the <em>radiata </em>type on hand, as this is the one lowest in camphor and thus the least toxic and safest for children. (It is the <em>globolus </em>variety that is usually sold.)</p>
<p>What makes this product so great? Eucalyptus is anti-inflammatory, anti-spasmodic, anti-septic, anti-bacterial and stimulating. It is also a decongestant as well a deodorant &#8211; though I don&#8217;t recommend putting it under your arms before a date.</p>
<h2>Eucalyptus essential oil uses</h2>
<p>This oil is famous for fighting colds, coughs and respiratory illnesses. Here are a few specific ways to use it for such ailments:</p>
<ul>
<li>For a cough with mucous in the throat: One drop eucalyptus oil plus one drop lemon oil mixed with a few ounces of water and gargled.</li>
<li>For a decongestant: A couple drops each dill, eucalyptus and lemon oil blended and rubbed on the chest.</li>
<li>A natural cough drop: 2 drops marjoram oil, 1 drop peppermint oil, one drop eucalyptus, one teaspoon raw honey. Combine the oils and swallow, then chase with the honey.</li>
<li>If you suspect a virus in the mucous membranes, rub two or three drops on the chest and one drop behind each ear.</li>
<li>Diffuse it while you&#8217;re sleeping.</li>
<li>For stuffy noses and coughs, place 1-2 drops of Eucalyptus essential oil in the palm of your hands. Rub your hands together a couple of times, then cover your nose and mouth with your hands and inhale several times.</li>
<li>1-2 drops of Eucalyptus over the bridge of the nose will relieve sinuses. It will annoy your eyes for about five minutes, but then be fine.</li>
</ul>
<p>There are many other uses of this oil. It repels biting insects, and almost instantly heals mosquito bites. It is anti-bacterial, antiviral <em>and </em>anti-fungal, making it a perfect remedy to take daily to fend off any kind of illness.</p>
<p>It relieves hay fever, can heal asthma, and increases blood oxygen supply, providing an energy boost. It also relieves joint and muscular pain and headaches; fights fevers and urinary tract infections; generally improves immune function; and when combined with geranium and juniper oils helps to lower blood sugar.</p>
<p>It clears up acne, overcomes sluggishness, increases mental capacity, <a href="http://thecrunchycoach.com/blog/anger-management">cools the heat of anger</a>, and helps to prevent cavities, plaque and gingivitis.</p>
<p>So look at this: swish and swallow a couple drops of eucalyptus oil a couple times every day, and you will have more energy, more disease resistance, think more clearly and have healthier teeth!</p>
<p>If you do not yet have <em>Eucalyptus radiata (</em><strong>NOT</strong> <em>globulus</em>) as part of your natural first aid kit, <a href="http://beyoungeo.com/crunchycoach">buy eucalyptus oil</a> today. For all its health benefits, the price is definitely right!</p>

Will we ever have a <a href="http://thecrunchycoach.com/blog/cancer-cures">cure for cancer</a>? The fact is, we already do. Many natural cures for cancer exist.</p>
<p>If that statement surprises you, keep in mind that the mainstream media receives much of its monetary support from the pharmaceutical companies. Don&#8217;t hold your breath waiting for an announcement that something as simple as a radical change of diet can eradicate cancer from the body. Not from the major news sources.</p>
<p>Following is a list of ways that various and sundry people have used to cure themselves of cancer without resorting to chemotherapy, radiation, or drugs. (And be sure to read my <a href="http://thecrunchycoach.com/disclosure.html">disclaimer</a> before you take any action.)</p>
<ul>
<li>Raw food vegan diet. Eliminating all processed foods and increasing your intake of vegetables is key here. Since meat is the most acidic food there is, getting it out of the diet at least temporarily will help your body to fight off cancer. <strong><em>I do not promote a raw vegan diet as a lifestyle</em></strong>; however, as a short-term remedy it can be beneficial to cancer patients.</li>
<li>Gershon Therapy. This is a therapy that attacks cancer by feeding the body only alkaline foods, namely greens-based juices, and cleansing the colon via enemas.</li>
<li><a href="http://beyoungeo.com/crunchycoach">Essential oils.</a> Perhaps the most ancient natural cures for cancer! Frankincense, geranium, helichrysm and lavender oils all have incredibly powerful cancer-fighting properties. The first two in particular have been found to actually kill cancer cells in laboratory tests. <strong>WARNING: </strong>you will probably highly disappointed by the effectiveness of essential oils found in health food stores.  I explain why <a href="http://beyoungessentialoils.wordpress.com">here. </a></li>
<li>Marine phytoplankton (which <a href="http://maqui-and-friends.com">Masaji</a> contains <img src='http://thecrunchycoach.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  ) In the video I explain how powerfully this superfood from the sea can help with healing from cancer.</li>
</ul>
<p>Natural cures for cancer are out there, and they are all safe and effective.
