(NaturalNews) Pomegranate juice is already known to be active against several cancers, but a new study out of California has just shown for the first time that it potently inhibits three key processes involved in breast cancer metastasis. The researchers were so impressed, they remarked that pomegranate juice is "potentially a very effective treatment to prevent cancer…

Lymphedema diagnosis

Hey Survivor Sisters. I've been going to physical therapy for my recently diagnosed lymphedema and it's been great. I'm 5 years cancer free and I wish I had had this physical therapy 4 years ago. I thought I would get relief for, what I've been told is incurable lymphedema, and at least keep the slight swelling in check. The swelling in my hand has actually been reduced by 10 cm so far. 



The best part is the…

Iron Girl

I was asked by a friend at work to join their Iron Girl team, she asked if I would be willing to do the swimming of the Iron Girl.  I thought to myself I can swim sure I'll do it.  What was I thinking!

I started training the 1st week in January.  Another friend of mine is doing the Iron Girl but not as a team all of it.  I thought she would be a great help with the swimming.  We got to the pool at 8am on a cold Wednesday morning.  Water was cold!  Judi my friend went over how many…

LIFE....

Is full of surprises. Some surprises lead to happiness and are more exciting than we could ever dream. Some surprises are not what we pictured or ever wanted. Thirteen years ago stage IV colon cancer was the terrible surprise that forever changed my LIFE. With a grim prognosis and few treatment options, Ronnie and I prepared for the worst and were too afraid to even imagine the best.

 

We were lucky. We discovered strength from the support and experience of other survivors. We…

Watch Out For GMO's In Foods -- Even In Health Food Stores

This from natural news:  Beware of so-called "natural" foods that claim to be vegetarian or "all natural." If they're made with corn, soy or canola and they're not ORGANIC, then they are almost certainly made with GMOs.

Many of these "natural" foods are sold at apparently healthy stores. But that doesn't mean they don't contain GMOs! The shelves contain a plethora of products with genetically engineered food ingredients, so read the labels and buy USDA organic, which is reliably… Continue

My Favorites From Natural Products Expo East - Penta Water

Penta Water is in my top two (along with Fiji).  I'm glad to see that they have lowered their pricing, which I believe had put it out of reach for many people.  It's still hard to find, but it's worth the effort. Penta is pure water that has no additives, sweeteners, chemicals or anything else.  It tastes pure,…

Cancer breakthrough: scientists discover harmless bacteria in soil kills cancer tumors

Monday, September 05, 2011 by: S. L. Baker, features writer



(NaturalNews) Cancer remains one of the most feared diseases on the planet -- and cancer patients being treated by mainstream medicine are usually bombarded with radiation and subjected to toxic chemotherapy that destroys healthy cells and weakens the body while trying to kill tumors.



Thankfully, as NaturalNews readers are aware, a growing body of research is revealing that many natural…

Yoga for Survivors' to Celebrate!

Restorative Yoga is becoming more well-known and is widely used for cancer patients and survivorship.

The word yoga means 'union' and restorative yoga is an extremely gentle yoga, done with blankets,

props, and can be done in bed!  The slow, deep breathing is the heart of restorative yoga and the

'asana's' or postures are done by supporting every joint with many blankets, so that our muscles relax

into position and we can focus on 'feeling' our bodies,…

Miracles All Around

I walked through the woods this morning before heading to the hospital...savoring the wonder of the crisp air. The leaves filled with color, drifting slowly around me in the breeze. The distant sound of a hoot owl and the crunch of leaves beneath my steps were all that broke the peaceful silence of my thoughts. I doubled back behind the pasture and watched as Boo, who blessedly made it through the summer, tossed his head and made a quick trek around the paddock. I knew in that instant that…

Just Believe!

Don't be afraid; just believe.

-- Mark 5:36



We are all experiencing effects from the economy and some of us are dealing with health issues right now. But, we don't have to fear the state of the economy and we don't have to fear sickness. That simple verse in Mark that says "don't be afraid, just believe" really says it all.…
