It is estimated that 187,600 new cancer
cases will be diagnosed in Canada not including cases involving skin cancer.
The number of new cancer cases in Canada will continue to rise steadily with
population growth and ageing. Nearly 88% of new cancer cases and 95% of cancer
related deaths in Canada will occur among people aged 50 and older.
Cancer is the leading cause of death in Canada and is responsible for about 30% of all deaths.
Cancer has become a common illness that can
be beaten and improved through Holistic ways of Ayurveda.
Cancer
cells begin to reproduce without control, it may continue to divide until a
lump or tumor(s) form. In some situations tumors which are auspicious can be
removed while other tumors can spread and become cancerous. For more
descriptive information, please refer to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer
Everything we fight weakens us & everything we support empowers us, "I am well, I am perfect health" says Dr.Wayne Dyer an internationally known author, motivational speaker & guru who is living with leukemia.
Wayne Dyer shares:
“The Leukemia is the body’s way of healing. I think we have to
live in harmony with it (cancer) and not be so terrified of it and not
be trying to kill it.”
Wayne Dyer’s cancer journey has taken him from initial disbelief to a place of acceptance & love, most incredibly at 73 he is living with cancer and feeling better than ever. After reading Wayne's stories about his journey it inspired me even more to continue writing this blog topic.
This topic has significance to me, I have lost someone to cancer, have a close friend fighting and hope to help someone overcome it, so I wanted to share some
vital information on cancer in hopes it will help people gain some faith, find a higher level of consciouness & recover. Many people may have their doubts or wonder how the natural ways of Ayurveda can be
beneficial to such a deadly illness, but if you have some hope, please continue
reading.

How Diseases Appear In Ayurveda:
In Ayurveda Cancer disease involves all 3 doshas: Kapha, Pitta & Vata mainly with one being predominant. The types of Cancer most likely to appear in the body can be different depending on your dominant dosha. For example I will describe Kapha below.
Kapha dominant cancers are related to tiredness, congestion, excessive sleeping and salivation to name a few. In most cases begin tumors appear then later on become malignant. Related Kapha cancers: Lung & Breast.
Ayurveda describes every
disease developing in four main stages:
Chayavastha(stage
one): The doshas are agitated by an unhealthy or
unnatural way of living, unfavorable climatic situations, poor digestion &
production of Ama(digestive toxins,poison), emotional imbalances such as fear,
jealousy, anger, greed, depression & mania. As a result of this, therefore
the doshas get disturbed.
Prakopavastha(stage
two): The main disturbed dosha concentrates and
grows in a certain part of the body
Prasar(stage
three): The disturbed dosha leaves
the basis & pervades the whole body
Sthana-samskriya(Stage
Four): The disturbed dosha moves towards weaker
parts of the body, settles there & therefore causes a poisoning effect
& disease.
Symptoms:
* Weak digestive fire, body weakness,
change in stool and urine, lumps or tumors forming, unusual discharge or blood
coming from any part of the body, sores that won’t heal, nagging cough, lack of
appetite, coughing up blood etc
Diagnosis Of Cancer:
·
Physical Examinations,X-rays, Ct Scan, Cat Scan,
MRI, Ultrasound, Biopsy, Lab Testing(blood,urine,cough etc), prognosis,
acupressure to name some
Ayurvedic Treatments:
Ayurveda follows two
different methods of treatment:
Panchakarma,consists of 5 detoxification processes which are Emesis, Purgation,Enema & Douching. This will cleanse the body of toxins and harmonize the unbalanced doshas.
The second method is suggesting herbs, decoctions & following a healthy diet & lifestyle. Each individual is unique, so each person would be guided differently. It is very important after a good cleansing, the body goes through revitalization to enhance the immune system and build up endurance. You may ask a health care consultant for further information.
