Links Between Digestive Health and Cancer
The article discusses:
Cultivating beneficial gut bacteria is your first line of defense against cancer and many other serious diseases. It does this by boosting your immune system at the places you’re almost always hit first with − toxins, heavy metals, parasites, fungi, and harmful bacteria.
Antibiotics disrupt your gut flora in a similar way that chemotherapy affects the human body. Chemotherapy wipes out perfectly healthy, non-cancerous cells inside you along with the cancerous cells. Similarly, antibiotics wipe out all bacteria (the bad kind as well as the good kind you can’t live without).
There are three important “PILLARS” of fighting cancer… all of which help to improve gastrointestinal system health.
- Emotional Cleansing
- Detoxification
- Diet
- Phase One: Incorporate the food source that healthy gut bacteria eat to survive, in the form of pre-biotics. Jerusalem artichokes, chicory, garlic, onions, leek, shallots, asparagus, beetroot, dandelion greens, fennel, peas, cabbage, nuts, and seeds.
- Phase Two: Incorporate a variety of probiotic foods to diversify the healthy bacteria in your gut. Active-culture yogurt, kefir, kombucha tea, tempeh, kimchi, sauerkraut, pickled veggies (in brine – not vinegar), fermented meat (eg. corned beef), and fish (sardines).
