Artificial Health and Cancer

Artificial health is the opposite of Natural Health.

It is dependent on Unnatural Substances to Live.

What is Artificial Health?

I define "artificial-health" as "health that is sustained by artificial means."

It is the opposite of natural health. Like I said, "Human Beings are Natural Creatures, requiring Natural Nourishment to live Natural Lives in perfect Natural Health."

It is not the will of our Creator to make us born naturally into this world, and to be dependent upon unnatural means (artificial health) to survive.

Only robots and machines depend on unnatural means for survival. Humans need to depend on natural means to survive.

Humans have destroyed much of the natural environment needed for our survival that now we need artificial means to live.

The advancement of science and technology has made great strides to provide many artificial means for humans to survive. This is commendable and actually it is necessary to preserve the lives of the recipients.

But this does not solve the problem of humanity i.e. the enormous burden that mankind can only survive with artificial health.

To solve this problem, we need to rebuild Nature and the environment, and stop destroying them in the name of "progress".

I believe that as we make an effort to stop destroying Nature, then Nature can actually heal itself. The ideal would be to live as close to Nature as possible. This is the essence of life.

We were not created to live artificially. We were created to live naturally.

The first choice is natural health. The second choice is artificial health.

For a cancer patient, the ultimate aim is to have a treatment that will rebuild you to achieve natural health (not artificial health) - to be dependent on natural means for survival.

That means your purpose of the treatment must be beyond seeing yourself healed of the tumor, but to be able to live in vitality, and in natural health in future.

The choice of the treatment is dependent on "what is your goal?"

Do you want to see the cancer tumor gone BUT totally dependent on artificial health for survival for the rest of your life (which may be short); or do you want to see the tumor gone AND living in health, full of energy and in natural vitality?

That may mean giving up some of your products of artificial health and to live natural lives with natural health.

Is artificial health necessary?

Sad to say, some products of artificial health have become necessary, while some are not.

Mankind has evolved into such inhumane creatures, that without products of artificial health, we would have self-destructed.

For example, a patient that has his kidneys damaged will require blood dialysis for life, just to stay alive. I can assure you that the kidneys were not born damaged.

Or someone who has lost their legs in a war may require prosthetic limbs to jump again.

In cancer treatment, your oncologist may not inform you (because you didn't ask) but some of the chemo drugs are so toxic, that they will damage your organs for life. You will only be able to live with artificial health for your survival.

I have loved ones who had radiation therapy and lost their salivary glands, teeth, nails and some mental functions. Many of these cannot be replaced with products of artificial health.

If you had surgery done to remove body parts (such as breast or lungs) you may be able to replace some of them, but not all.

Below I have listed some areas of our present day living where products of artificial health had made inroads.

I have given my opinion on why some of them are necessary and why some of them are not.

Especially for a cancer patient, you need to walk the pathway for your healing and health by going the natural way.

If you choose to follow after artificial health, there are bound to be side effects or even a total rejection of them by your body systems.

Which part of your world is artificial?

The following tips are of interest to those who want to prevent cancer, those who are undergoing cancer treatment (both conventional and natural) and those who have gone through conventional cancer treatment.

I have suggested alternatives to these products of artificial health as well.

Instead of having all the "thou shall not", it is good to recommend to you what are the "thou shalls".

You see, there is ALWAYS an alternative way to better health and more natural lifestyle.

Artificial food: The food that is produced for human consumption must be as natural as possible.

That means it must not be genetically modified (GM) foods. GM foods come from genetically modified organisms.

These organisms have their DNA changed by reengineering their gene structure. They are subjected to mutation by radiation or chemical action to create new food species.

In an effort to solve world hunger, GM foods have been grown en mass, but with the new product came new sicknesses that humans have never experienced before. Genetic mutations of food have led to new biological enemies.

To overcome cancer, one must eat natural foods and not GM foods.

Do you know reports have shown Cancer linked to GM potatoes?

There are many alternatives to GM foods available. If you want to be self assured, grow your own organic garden.

A small raised bed organic garden of size 4 feet by 12 feet, can supplement your daily vegetables by one third. If you have three of these raised beds, you do not need to buy any veggies from the market anymore.

Artificial sweeteners: Our food laboratories have invented artificial sweeteners such as aspartame, saccharin, sucralose, neotame, acesulfame potassium, and stevia; to be a sugar substitute for taste.

These products are cancer causing compounds and to say they are not, is equivalent to saying smoking does not cause lung cancer.

Cancer patients must not touch artificial sweeteners but only natural sweeteners such as natural brown sugar, natural honey, maple syrup, natural molasses and non-refined cane sugar (called sucanat).

Artificial preservatives: These are chemicals added to foods to prevent bacteria action that causes food to go bad.

Some of the common preservatives are calcium propionate, sodium nitrate, sodium nitrite, sulfur dioxide, sodium bisulfite, potassium hydrogen sulfite, formaldehyde, ethanol etc. and most of these are cancer causing compounds.

For natural preservation of food, I recommend freezing, vacuum packing or use of natural substances such as vinegar, citric and ascorbic acids from lemon or other citrus juices.

Artificial flavorings: These are artificial chemical compounds added to food to give it flavor by changing the characteristics to become sweet, sour, tangy or salty.

Go to your local supermarket and you will find that more than 95% of all your sauces, canned foods, packaged foods, and even cooked foods contain artificial flavorings such as monosodium glutamate (MSG) and disodium inosinate. Read the description before you buy.

These are known carcinogens and will cause cancer to grow and to spread.

For a cancer patient, only use natural flavorings that come from living plants such as herb, spice, fruit or fruit juice, vegetable or vegetable juice, edible yeast, bark, bud, root, or any other edible portions of a plant.

Artificial soils: In the desire to have nicer looking plants, fatter fruits and vegetables, weightier farm produce (that means more profits), commercial farmers have created artificial soils that are totally void of natural nutrients.

The soils are dependent on synthetic fertilizers seasoned with insecticides and pesticides.

The problem with this is that pests and soil organisms have become resistant to the chemicals, and the farmer has to increase the amount to highly toxic levels that have become harmful to human consumption.

I have entered such farms before where even a mosquito or a fly cannot be found! The atmosphere is so intoxicated that even butterflies stay away from our food farms.

Even the use of hydroponics for farming is artificial and the synthetic fertilizers of nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus (called NPK) used are produced artificially in factories.

Only use foods grown on natural soils. These are organically grown products without the use of synthetic chemicals.

Natural soils are enhanced with natural fertilizers obtained from aerobic composting, worm composting, or naturally occurring top-soils that are excellent sources for plant growth.

Do you know that plants that are naturally grown are healthier, sturdier, stronger and more resistant to pests and diseases? Artificially grown plants are not.

Isn't it common sense that to prevent cancer or to rebuild our body to fight cancer, we need plant food from natural soils and not artificial soils?

Artificial sunlight: The light that comes from the sun everyday is a source of life for all plants and animals.

This sunlight helps our body to produce the Vitamin D that is so important for our health (especially important for cancer patients).

In ancient days, people used to bask themselves daily in the sun for their work and yet do not have problems related to sunlight exposure.

Today, we have the destruction of the ozone layer (due to the production of industrial and other toxic gases), which was originally there for our protection.

The ozone layer acts like a filter to the harmful part of the sun's rays.

Mankind has destroyed this natural protection by his abuse of nature and environment destruction.

As a result, we have melanoma or skin cancer caused by the ultraviolet radiation from excessive sunlight exposure.

(Weather patterns have also changed resulting in global warming effects like storms, floods, droughts, and extremely high or low temperatures. Artificial rain is obtained mainly by cloud seeding, when there are unpredictable weather changes.)

So it becomes unsafe for cancer patients to stay too long in the sunlight even though we know that vitamin D reduces the risk of cancers.

In order to obtain their vitamin D or adequate sunlight, some treatments encourage artificial tanning beds, UV lamps or infrared red lamps that simulate artificial sunlight and vitamin D pills as a supplement.

Under proper supervision, this artificial sunlight is the next best to unmodified natural sunlight.

In the absence of a tanning bed, a ten minutes of daily dose of morning sunlight is beneficial for cancer patients. This is free and natural.

Alkaline water: The ongoing discussion on acidic or alkaline body, has led some to manufacture alkaline water for health benefits.

Others produce ionizers to change the water to be more alkaline

This is based on the understanding that the body needs to be alkaline (pH 7.3) and not acidic. An acidic body will encourage cancer to grow rapidly because the cancer cells thrive within an anaerobic condition, which is also an acidic condition.

The alternative to having an alkaline body pH is to eat more foods that are alkaline.

Organic fruits and vegetables are alkaline. If your diet is made up of 80% raw organic fruits and vegetables, then your body will remain alkaline and cancer cells will die.

The latest marketed water is called oxygenated water or oxygen water, for short.

This is highly debatable because experts have shown that oxygen cannot be added by dissolving into water even under pressure.

Distilled water: This is the closest water that you can find to natural water.

The water that comes from the heavens is distilled water.

This is the water that should be used for drinking.

Unfortunately, our rain water is also contaminated with all kinds of pollutants. Before the rain water reaches the ground, it has to pass through our contaminated atmosphere polluted with industrial gases and dirty air. After the rain water passes through the ground, it collects all kinds of impurities from the ground. By the time, this water is dammed for filtration, it is so polluted that many fishes and flora in rivers have become dead because of the polluted waters.

You can read more details on water Here.

So how do you find distilled water in our environmentally damaged world?

Well, you can find it in some remote part of the snowy mountains like Hunza (the people here lived from 120 to 140 years old on the average) where civilization has not brought its destructive "progress".

Or in this case, you have no other choice but to produce it in the home with a home distiller.

This may be a product of artificial health, but there is no other way to drink distilled or pure water in nature anymore.

Consider it as a great investment for the health of the whole family.

Artificial milk vs. natural milk: One of the greatest mistakes we have deposited with the next generation is to give our new born babies artificial milk or "milk formulas".

I deemed all canned milk formulas as artificial milk because they do not come from human beings, they have been refined and man-handled, and they are void of essential life nutrients that are naturally provided by mothers' breast.

Some may justify that the milk is nutritious cow's milk. My answer is cow's milk has already been proven to be inadequate.

Cow's milk is for calves. Mother's milk is for babies.

Natural milk or breast milk is still the best.

Artificial Body Parts. Science and technology have done the greatest amount of good in the creation of artificial body parts to extend the life span of man. Without such research and advancement, many recipients would have been dead.

In this respect, science has been able to provide a better quality of life to sick patients with damaged body parts, even though it is artificial health.

Artificial Heart: Due to the many cases of heart failures, scientists have developed artificial hearts. Young people - aged 40, 45 or 50 - are dying of massive heart attacks every day, and there are not enough of hearts donated for organ transplanting.

Artificial hearts are developed to replace natural hearts but not without their plaguing problems. In such cases, patients have no choice i.e. either to go for a heart transplant, insert an artificial heart or die.

Artificial pacemakers for heart conditions have been around for many years. It regulates the heart beat to overcome irregular heart rate that can lead to tiredness, dizziness and loss of consciousness.

Artificial immune system is the latest buzz in artificial body parts. This is still in experimenting stage.

Artificial stomachs are available to those with indigestion problems. My tip is to deal with the stomach flora and achieve a naturally stronger gastro-intestinal system.

Artificial hip are common especially for those with damaged hips, they find it difficult to walk, sit or even rest without experiencing pain. Hundreds of thousands of artificial hip replacement surgeries are being carried out yearly to provide relief to patients.

Artificial skin is being studied for the treatment of burns and skin damage, hoping to provide a less painful alternative to skin grafting and better skin complexion.

Artificial blood is now a possibility opening up a whole new resource for every branch of medicine.

Then there are artificial eyes, artificial bones, artificial lungs, artificial pancreas, artificial muscles, artificial insemination to those with erectile dysfunctional problems, and many more to come.

Artificial health supplements: If we eat right and live right, we do not need health supplements.

But there are just too many negative factors in your lifestyle that have cornered you to require health supplements in order to top up your daily intake of vitamins and minerals. Primarily, the wrong diet and lifestyle have undermined many people's health.

It has always been the natural way that all your vitamins and minerals should come from the natural foods that you consume.

But in the case of the busy executives or of those rat-racing in the urban life, then one normally do not pause to take time to eat well.

Health supplements then become a necessity. My advice is: only consume natural health supplements. Some artificial minerals like calcium can become kidney stones if they are inorganic in nature. Other synthetic vitamins A, C and E may lead to organ failure.

How do you differentiate the natural from the artificial? Read the product description.

The natural health supplements are derived from fruits, herbs, roots, flowers and plants. The artificial health supplements are synthetically produced.

Do you have a choice?

What if you have a choice - definitely you will choose natural health instead of artificial health.

But in some serious life and death cases, you may not have the choice.

Further Readings:

In addition to helping the body absorb calcium, vitamin D also helps the body keep the right amount of calcium and phosphorus in the blood.

Artificial health: Less Invasive Hip Surgeries Make Inroads

Imagine a treatment that could build bones, strengthen the immune system and lower the risks of illnesses like diabetes, heart and kidney disease, high blood pressure and cancer. Some research suggests that such a wonder treatment already exists. It's vitamin D.
