The Fight against Cancer

Hello all!

Cancer is a very serious dilemma among many in the world today. Seemingly it looks as as generations move on, the Liklihood of getting cancer will go up. Just curious however, what are some methods or products that you've come across within your travels that seem to help in the fight against cancer.

My mom who just got over serious breast cancer and was just diagnosed with a cancerous tumor on her back, takes in Green Tea and Water as her normal consumption.

Green Tea and Water to me seem like the safe way to go, reducing stress I understand is a big factor (have to let your body heal, take everything softly, don't get too worried or riled up), and consuming foods that aren't as bound to be carcinogenic helps just as well. Meats with hormones etc in them is an example - the less intake of unnatural substances - the healthier you're bound to be!

I am all for the new healthy herbal thing, I guess...but there is a real danger of possibly overdosing on these fine herbal remedies, just like anything else. Moderation is key
