Mantra of the Vigilant Healer
“I do not sweeten truth to soothe the masses. I extract it raw, like honey from the golden comb, yes, but never diluted. I am the pulse between justice and mercy, the voice that names what others disguise. In every diagnosis, every decree, I humbly serve the sacred, unmasked, unbought, and unbroken.
Various Way To Combat Cancer
Immunotherapy, is also known as biological therapy, uses your body's immune system to fight cancer. Cancer can survive unchecked in your body because your immune system doesn’t recognize it as an intruder. Immunotherapy can help your immune system ‘see’ the cancer cells and attack them.
Hormone therapy, be advised some types of cancer, are fueled by your body’s hormones. Examples include breast cancer and prostate cancer. Removing those hormones from the body or blocking their effects may cause the cancer cells to stop growing.
Targeted drug therapy, this specific treatment focuses on specific abnormalities within cancer cells that allow them to survive.
Most recipients would take advantage of clinical trials. Clinical trials are studies to investigate new ways of treating cancer. Thousands of cancer clinical trials are underway.
This brings me to my medical journey, regarding chemotherapy or radiation, which would be beneficial, and in my professional opinion, why.
What Is Chemotherapy
One of the oldest treatments for cancer is chemotherapy, in which drugs are given through an intravenous (IV) injection or orally. Chemotherapy can have effects system-wide, which means it impacts your entire body.
The goal of chemotherapy is to kill the cancer cells, shrink the tumor, or destroy the tumor completely. Destroying the tumor can eliminate cancer, while shrinking it can relieve some symptoms if the tumor is causing pain or interfering with cancer; or surrounding tissues.
I would go on record to say chemotherapy should not be recommended when the potential risks outweigh the benefits. And that is only because of chemotherapy’s considerable side effects, it may not be safe for individuals who have underlying conditions.
The healthy cells that are most likely to be damaged by chemotherapy are located in the bone marrow, hair follicles, mouth, digestive tract, and reproductive system.
Just take under advisement the cells in these areas of the body also grow quickly and are thus targeted by chemotherapy. Chemotherapy may also damage cells in the heart, lungs, kidneys, bladder, and nervous system
What Is Radiation
Radiation is a high-energy invisible light wave. Because it has a lot of energy, it can be directed at cancer cells to damage their genetic material, ultimately killing them.
The radiation waves damage the cancer cells, which die over time and are removed by the body, causing the tumor to shrink. This process can continue for weeks or even months after treatment is over.
Radiation is used in many ways as a cancer treatment. The goal of radiation is usually to slow the progression, shrink, or destroy a cancerous tumor.
I would say any treatment for cancer would always be beneficial to getting to the next phrase of recovery to hear the cancer cells have been destroyed and the cancer is in remission. I am supporter and financial contributor to Susan Korman Foundation, and a marathon runner to raise funds, in addition, a supporter for St. Jude Research for Children in Philadelphia.
When Hospice Is The Last Decision To Take Into Advisement
Hospice care is mainly utilized when a disease, such as the advanced stage of cancer, gets to the point when treatment can no longer cure or control it. In general, hospice care should be used when a person is expected to live about six months or less if the illness runs its usual course.
People with advanced cancer should have a discussion with their family members and doctors and specialists to decide together when hospice care should begin. This decision to place a loved one in hospice is never an easy choice. Most people facing such a final solution for self or for a loved one is never easy. However, the hospice/palliative care given is superior and it should involve family memories, doctors, and specialists continuing nursing care throughout.
Also, take into consideration, hospice care can be rendered to a person receiving supportive care at home.
Hospice care is offered and provided for patients during their last phase of an incurable illness or near the end stage of life, such as in some people with advanced or metastatic cancer. Hospice care is provided when there is no active or curative treatment being given for serious illnesses. “treatment” during hospice care involves managing symptoms and side effects.
Palliative care can be offered and provided at any stage of a serious illness. Palliative care can be provided while the patient is receiving active treatment. In other words, it can be given at the same time as chemo, radiation, or immunotherapy for cancer.
There are several ways to deal with cancer and its treatment, some people have opted to go strictly holistic.
Integrative & Holistic Cancer Treatment Strategies (Starve The Cancer)
Cancer feeds on sugar. Starve the cancer cells off sugar by withdrawing the source of food, starting with the diet.
Special anti-cancer diet
Scientific evidence from PET scans shows most cancer cells take more sugar (glucose) than normal tissue.
Being a born and raised Vegan, I do not indulge in processed foods and try to stay away from sugar. Most will not tell you; the biggest drug is sugar, I say that, due in part, it is in every food we consume, it could be disguised under many ingredients, such as, Glucose, Fructose, Sucrose, Dextrose, Maltose, Lactose, Galactose.
Can you imagine being young and residing in France, and your father and mother did not allow any sweets in the house. Not even cereal. France is known for its fresh and delicious baked goods. I understand now.
Destroy The Cancer
Treatment is customized for each patient. Kill the cancer cells by either natural or therapeutic means such as oxygen and oxidative therapies, IV therapies and support elimination of toxic debris.
NIHA physicians (NIHA’s integrative doctors and dentists blend the best of Western medicine and safe, natural therapies for comprehensive holistic treatment to help the body heal) will actively coordinate its services with a patient’s oncologist and other treating physicians to ensure patients have an active team supporting their care.

Detoxify The Body
Cancer developed over time under the stress of accumulated toxins. Detoxification is essential for successful cancer treatment.
Laboratory testing to evaluate chemical or environmental toxicities
Detecting and eliminating food and environmental allergies.
Restoring natural flora to the bowel.
A comprehensive whole body detoxification program in order for other therapies to work.
No matter what treatment plan of care when it pertains to cancer, make sure you have the best physicians, to keep you on the road of recovering, those elements consist of giving you a referral/prescription for any medical aids, needed; walking cane, walker, bathtub bench, a hospital bed for home, and, vouchers to get you to and from your doctor’s appointments if you are devoid of transportation, then the social services if needed (to assist with paying for medication(s), shelter if needed, clothing) And a referral to a Licensed Nutritionist to make sure your eating healthy during cancer and how to maintenance that sacrifice during remission.
Stay blessed and be kind in your daily forwarding steps. Make sure smile as you give of your heart, you just might me entertaining an Angel.
