Emotional/mental factors in disease development
Physical causes (toxicity, lack of nutrients, supporting the body to naturally self-heal as it is “designed” to do).
Cancer Is Healable - Naturally!!!
Healing Cancer Naturally is based on three fundamental “credos” and commitments:
1 The human body is designed to be self-healing and will beautifully do its assigned task if we properly support and/or don’t hinder it in the performance of this basic function. This is why the overwhelming majority of Healing Cancer Naturally’s pages is devoted to diet, detoxification, and mental, energetic and spiritual factors in healing and health.
2 Information and help should be made available to anyone afflicted with cancer or other illness, regardless of the size of their pocketbook. This is why Healing Cancer Naturally provides all its potentially life-saving information for free rather than selling part of it in book form, and asks for donations and other support involving no extra costs instead. That's also the reason why simple and inexpensive “DIY” ways people have used to heal from cancer get top priority while expensive “alternatives” to conventional treatment (and there are some very expensive ones indeed) will either be ignored, mentioned only "on the side" or subjected to much higher standards (such as proof of effectiveness via double-blind placebo-controlled peer-reviewed human studies).
3. Healing Cancer Naturally believes that any challenge, be it in the area of health, relationships and/or finances, can (and optimally perhaps should) be used as a personal growth experience, allowing the person undergoing and eventually victoriously overcoming the challenge to arise from it not only healthier but also wiser and a better person than ever before.
Why would anyone choose to consider curing cancer alternatively?*
or, for that matter, to look for a natural cure for cancer, either in the place of (or as a complement to) the officially recommended (and sometimes enforced) chemotherapy, radiation and surgery?

Cancer over-diagnosis and over-treatment Misdiagnoses abound - do be aware!
The main reason may be that conventional cancer treatment is still far from reaching its long sought-after victory over cancer, even after decades of intensive research into which billions of dollars have been poured. On the contrary, cancer incidence and mortality have continued to steadily and dramatically rise in the Westernized world, with no end to this tendency in sight.
This has led many to think that the conventional approach (more drugs and surgery) may not be the answer since it clearly doesn’t address the root causes, which, when unaddressed, may (even in the relatively rare event of a temporary healing being achieved as shown in cancer statistics) lead to a recurrence and exacerbation of previous symptoms and even the creation of new similarly serious ones.
One of the most important reasons for preferably avoiding conventional treatment can be found out by asking your doctor two simple questions: see After A Cancer Diagnosis and before choosing any conventional treatment (chemo, radiation, surgery), ask your oncologists two basic questions.
Why is cancer on the rise?
There are many suspected root causes: e. g. there is strong evidence that the depletion of our soils due to intensive farming beginning with the industrial revolution has led to widespread mineral and trace element deficiencies leading to (or promoting) in their turn numerous ailments incl. cancer.

“Should I Be Tested for Cancer? Maybe Not and Here's Why".
Another cause is likely to be found in the dangerous harsh chemicals present in our polluted food, air and water supply, ranging from pesticides to artificial hormones (present in meat and dairy from non-organic husbandry), as well as in the ubiquitous electro-magnetic fields from appliances, cell phones, computers, TVs, microwaves etc. All of these are assaultive, unnatural substances and influences our bodies have to contend with on a daily basis without, and this may be a crucial point, having had the evolutionary time to adapt to them.
In tandem with this onslaught of toxins works the widespread intake of devitalized, demineralized, industrially produced food low in nutrition and high in calories, far removed from what more naturally-living and much healthier peoples consume, another major suspect in the genesis of cancer. And many seem to compound the problem by the intake of medicinal drugs and noxious substances, themselves all too often the contributing cause of disease and worse, even death (compare On Drugs).
There is also reason for the contention that all disease has a psychosomatic causative agent if not root cause, in other words stress and inner wounding in all of their multiple forms. A similar idea has been expressed by those (such as Traditional Chinese Medicine [TCM]) who claim that all or most disease is due to or based upon a blockage of “energy”, leading to a corresponding weakness in the organ and/or system affected by such undersupply of “vital energy”. Healing Cancer Naturally is indeed a proponent of the “energetic” viewpoint of disease and healing.

Alternative Cancer Healing aims to contribute to your awareness of the absolutely amazing range and potential of these natural and holistic healing modalities for cancer or “alternatives to chemotherapy, radiation and (often) surgery”. It offers extensive free information on alternative cancer cure and prevention protocols without overmuch duplicating the detailed information already found on other excellent sites devoted to “curing cancer naturally” (to which many links are provided), with particular stress being applied here to the emotional, energetic, mental and spiritual side of this dis-ease and its natural healing.
For those still in doubt, why choose non-conventional or alternative cancer treatment?
Why would it seem very advisable to research several or all routes to healing, including and particularly the alternative non-invasive approaches to cancer treatment, therapy, cure and healing before deciding on any one of them? Amazingly (or perhaps not so amazingly), the strongest proof comes from physicians and authoritative sources of renown themselves, such as the Journal of the American Medical Association. Here it is:
Why Alternative Cancer Treatment? - This section comprises a powerful sequence of incisive, outspoken (and often shocking) statements on health and medical treatment straight out of the mouths of illustrious MDs and cancer specialists as well as luminaries such as Linus Pauling, Mahatma Gandhi and Ralph Waldo Emerson. At the very least they strongly suggest that your safest and only bet on your way to health is indeed the natural and/or holistic (i.e. currently considered “alternative”) way.
Natural & Holistic Cancer Cure Testimonials - These form the heart of this site and are an inspirational, uplifting and thought-provoking must-read! Additionally I point to another major fact of cancer to be aware of: that of Cancer “Overdiagnosing” and “Over-Treatment”. It is a fact that many cancerous tumors, if left undisturbed / untreated and / or undiagnosed, would never evolve into any problem and only be discovered during an autopsy performed after death (from other causes), since the body in its wisdom knows how to safely encapsulate and keep such tumors apart from the rest of the body.
Nature Heals - On the “in-built” self-healing nature of the human body, with particular emphasis on a discussion of the self-contained healing system of Natural Hygiene and the cancer healing capacity of fever (hyperthermia).
Emotions and Cancer - Amazing case histories and personal reading have led me to believe that emotions and thoughts, including the power of belief, can be of crucial importance in the genesis of serious and less serious disease as well as in their healing. Very impressive real-life healing stories show this astounding link. Emotions can be healed by allowing them to flow (such as practised in Primal Therapy or Bioenergetics and other approaches based on the work of Wilhelm Reich), as well as particularly with the DIY healing tool of EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) introduced in Cancer & Energetics. Also included: links to sites offering emotional healing support and powerful techniques.
Laughter Is Medicine - Did you know Laughter Is Medicine is not just a saying, but actual fact? Laughing has a measurably positive effect on your immune system including raising the amount of natural killer cells in your blood whose role among other things consists in destroying tumour cells (read Dr. McGhee’s detailed articles) ... That’s why I’ve additionally included a few jokes in Laughter is Medicine 2...
Healing Cancer & Your Mind - I believe that generally speaking, healing from (and getting) cancer often begins in the mind. To heal from cancer, the person’s decision and firm resolve to recover their health often seems the major first step to take. Here are inspiring and practical tools to regain your health through the power of your mind, including healing affirmations, guided imagery and visualization that have helped a kidney cancer patient recover his health. In addition, you’ll find in-depth scientific discussions of the role of the mind (attitudes, feelings, thoughts, beliefs) and the mind-body interface both in the genesis and recovery from cancer.
Love & Healing - I believe love - both for others and oneself - to not only be the most important thing in life, but maybe one of the central healing factors as well.
Cancer Causes - lists and discusses both those factors which are officially recognised, for instance carcinogens, aflatoxins, radiation (incl. mammography), and those merely “suspected” or probable contributing agents including nutritional, emotional, spiritual factors, cellular oxygen deprivation, fungal pathogens, lymphatic restriction, geopathic stress, viruses, fluorescent lighting, toxic chemicals & pesticides, parasites, aspartame, cell phones, lack (or blockages) of “life force energy” etc.
Cancer & Energetics, Cancer & Spirituality - Some of the most important pages on this site featuring a growing collection of information on the vital subjects of our energetic and spiritual foundations, including the effect of sounds, prayer and the “healing stream” on cancer. Among many subjects, read about the spontaneous disappearance of a cancerous tumor thanks to “chi (life energy) treatment” monitored on-screen via ultrasound! A very special mention and large place also for EFT (Emotional Freedom DIY Technique) which aims to heal mind and body by reestablishing healthy energetic flow: the wide range of ills it has been successfully applied on, incl. cancer, already permits it to be ranked among the most promising healing avenues ever discovered by mankind.
Nutrition & Cancer Healing, Supplements & Herbs - Extensive information on the absolutely critical area of nutrition with special emphasis on harder-to-find crucial data on a vital subject riddled with contradictory lore... I currently estimate the physical (nutrition and toxin-related) factors to be the overall most decisive influence in the increasing cancer incidence in Western society. For some particularly revealing corroborating evidence of this view, see the article US - Sri Lanka Cancer Incidence Comparison outlining “what may well be a simple, supremely effective, and completely natural cancer cure”. Includes discussions of water, the largest constituent of physical life and possibly critical element in health and recovery.
