Health update!
It’s been about five months since I got the good news on my last MRI stating that the lump was “scar tissue” and no longer considered a threat. I have loosened some of my health regimens a bit as a result of feeling that I have beaten the threat, although I still rarely eat fast food or desserts or add sugar to things in general.
I wanted to share some other things that I did that I did not post on, during my battle to fight breast cancer. I got behind in posting updates about different things I tried so I’ll try to catch up here so that others might be able to benefit.
I will never know which thing worked, perhaps all of them are necessary. If faced with cancer again, I would employ the same methods.
Some of the more recent “therapies” I tried were:
Here are some of the effects of the lamp
- Raises the temperature in tissues
- Expands capillary vessels vRejuvenates cells
- Promotes blood circulation
- Helps move toxins from cells
- Improves Lymphatic system functions
I used it primarily because I learned that cancer cells cannot dissipate heat so I decided that this lamp might actually cause cell death for the cancer cells by heating them – this lamp penetrates very deeply. I used visualization while lying under the lamp as well – I pictured the heat killing the cancer cells. I used this lamp for about 20 minutes a day at least three times a week.
Therapeutic Massage
I also started visiting a holistic massage therapist in December of 2006 on a regular basis – at least twice a month. I also met with her in between the massages to help assess my lifestyle also and among some of the changes she helped me make (although I continue to work on these) were getting more sleep and sleeping earlier. I am a night owl so I constantly fight against staying up till the wee hours and then sleeping till mid morning. For a month or two, I actually got to bed before midnight on most nights. She helped me make it more of a habit to eat vegetables because even though I knew I *should* eat more vegetables, I often did not and instead relied on Juice Plus to tide me over. Ultimately, Juice Plus is great but not a total substitute for eating vegetables and the closer to raw the better.
Mini Trampouline aka Rebounding
I purchased a Needak mini trampouline also and started using it about three times a week. I used it simply although there are some fancy moves you can make and the one I bought provided a manual for those. I simply put on dance music and basically jogged to the music on it and occasionally did some dancing on it. I added hand and leg weights at times. The benefits of jumping on a mini trampouline are as follows:
From HealingDaily.com
| The rebounding motion stimulates all internal organs, moves the cerebral-spinal fluid, and is beneficial for the intestines. Many immune cells such as T-lymphocytes and macrophages are self-propelled through amebic action. These cells contain molecules identical to those in muscle tissue.
All cells in the body become stronger in response to the increased “G force” during rebounding, and this cellular exercise results in the self-propelled immune cells being up to 5 times more active. These immune cells are responsible for eating viruses, bacteria and even cancer cells, so it is good that they be active. Jumping on a mini-trampoline directly strengthens the immune system, so it’s a big deal! |

When the outer coating of cancer cells has been dissolved by the enzymes trypsin and chymotrypsin, the immune cells attack the cancer cells. Therefore, supplementing one’s healing diet with enzymes, combined with rebound exercise are a useful way to combat cancer.
