Fighting Cancer The Natural Way. 11/26/2014 (Evening Thought)

Genesis 1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

It is a sad testimony to our generation that cancer has now become on of the foremost killers amongst all age groups, and according to current statistics, it wipes out many more millions of people each year than all acts of terrorism around the world combined. It does not respect any age or gender and it is becoming more prevalent in younger people than in ages past. We are now moved to wonder why, in this age of so much enlightenment, where knowledge has been exponentially increased, that so many of us are still dying from this dreaded disease.

Much of the answer has to to with diet, and also with certain habits that are prone to induce cancer and other deadly diseases such as diabetes and sicknesses which negatively affect the proper functioning of the heart. But there are things we can do to ward off in a great measure the encroach of cancer, and a careful research and adopting of the pertinent knowledge must be executed, for as it is in all other areas of life, anything that is worth doing is done in cooperation with God.

When the earth was created The Lord had stipulated what would be the best diet for man, and even after the fall of Adam and Eve, the eating of flesh foods were not encouraged, but instead their diet now included fruits, vegetables, nuts, and grains. There are certain natural foods, herbs, fruits, and vegetables that go a long way in fighting cancer naturally, and while they may not be a "Cure all", they are at least worth our consideration.

The general principle in fighting cancer naturally is to make our bodies as hostile as possible to the formation of cancer cells, by ingesting daily those natural products of the earth that are renowned for inhibiting the growth of cancer cells. However, because of the constraints of time and space we can only mention two. It's important when we awake every day to have some lemon juice before breakfast, and even in our salads we can use lemons. These fruits are acidic, and they are very hostile to cancer cells, therefore we should incorporate them into our diet whenever and wherever possible.

Another arch-enemy of cancer is cabbage, especially the deep purple ones which can be eaten raw in salads. Cancer cells hate the very name and smell of cabbage for it is very effective in warding off the growth and development of this disease. Cabbages can also be juiced raw for maximum benefit, and they are very effective in healing stomach ailments.

It is also a good idea to do away entirely with the use of all flesh foods and animal products wherever possible, for these unnatural foods tend to encourage the growth of cancer cells in persons who partake of them on a regular basis. This is one of the reasons why The Lord withheld flesh foods from the Hebrews to a large extent, because He knew that the ingestion of animal products would have a deleterious effect on the health of man. But after several bouts of murmuring and complaining, The Lord finally allowed them to eat what He knew was not for their best good, and because the laws of cause and effect are still in place, the results of a flesh diet are telling upon us with frequent mortality, when death can be avoided in most of these instances. The history of the Hebrews sheds great light on the laws of cause and effect as it pertains to a flesh diet. Let's read:

Psalms 78:18 And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust. 19 Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness? 22 Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation: 23 Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven, 24 And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven. 27 He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea: 28 And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations. 29 So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire.

Whenever we pray to God for healing from any given disease, we should always be willing to make any necessary changes and reforms in the matter of diet and foods, for as stated before, God always works in cooperation with the human agent, by exercising His omnipotent power only after we have done all we can. Furthermore, by His own words Christ has shown us that if after healing us, we return to the bad habits that once caused our health to fail, then there isn't any more that He can do to help us in this area, and the full consequences of our bad habits can return with a vengeance. Let's read:

John 5:5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? 8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. 14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.

Let us then do all we can to fight cancer and all other diseases the natural way, trusting in God to take up the slack after we have done our very best. "Good night" and God bless!
