The merely diagnosis of cancer is one of the scariest things one can experience, let alone the allopathic cancer treatments following diagnosis.One of the most important action cancer survivors should take is have a family meeting and discuss risk concerns with all their loved ones.Having one family member diagnosed with cancer, places all the other family members in a high risk zone.

Luckily, naturopathic medicine offers a lot of insight and knowledge into the area of cancer prevention; it is actually one of its strengths.Since cancer operates in an oxygen-poor environment, the well-exercised body is far more likely to repel cancer cells or keep them from propagating.People who are under a high level of stress or who are sick, whether from cancer or some other disease, have a much higher requirement for vitamin C than those not under such stress or illness.

Antioxidants protect the cell's DNA and membranes from free- radical damage, thus preserving normal cell reproduction and overall functioning.recent study of workers at Chernobyl nuclear power station in Russia found that Gingko biloba, taken over a 2-month period, caused a two-thirds decrease in their chromosome damage. Such damage can eventually lead to the development of cancer.Breast cancer patients who underwent supportive/ expressive group therapy lived on average twice as long as those who did not ( control group).

In another study, patients with malignant patients with malignant melanoma assigned to a series of six 90- minute support group meetings were less anxious and depressed than controls, and had significantly lower rates of recurrence and mortality a full 6 years later.A good prevention protocol for your loved ones would have to include good antioxidants-at least vitamin C.Protecting your loved ones is paramount for cancer survivors.
