Can Art Heal Cancer?

Yes it can. At least it's a contributing factor to healing, according to science and the Huffington Post.

The American Cancer Society recently released their projected statistics on cancer in America stating that in 2015, there will be more than 1.5 million new cancer cases diagnosed. Cancer is an ugly, stressful and life altering disease for both the patient and the caregivers. Everyone is looking for a cure and beautiful art may be just what the doctor begins to order.

Three of the most well-known causes of cancer include:

Genetics
Exposure to cancer-causing ingredients
Unrelenting stress
Four of the commonly known healing paths to cancer include:

Chemotherapy
Healthy foods
Exercise
Stress reduction - mentally, emotionally and physically
So what does beautiful art have to do with healing cancer? Stress relief.

In 2014 the online news source Huffington Post (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/07/08/how-art-changes-your-brain_n_5567050.html) reported that art improves the interaction between parts of the brain. "Essentially, if art isn't washing away the dust accumulating on your soul, it might be cleaning up your brain instead." In other words, it changes your thinking, and by changing your thinking, you can change your stress level.

The scientific website PLOS ONE (http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0101035) agrees with this insight and has proven in a study, which began in 2011 that whether we are making or viewing art, a significant ability for psychological resilience was found. What that means is our brainwaves are better able to handle stress. Less stress means healthier cells.

Cancer is always a reflection of ugliness somewhere in life. The ugliness of abuse, abandonment, resentment and yes, even hatred.

The cells of our bodies cannot reproduce properly when they are continuously bombarded with negativity. Given a long enough onslaught of drama, our cells begin to mutate and that is where cancer gets a chance to rear its ugly head.

Ongoing, unrelenting stress can't help but wear down our bodies. Something has to change in order to give our bodies the nurturing needed to restore health. And surrounding yourself in beautiful art may just be the answer.

The mind/body connection is so powerful that you, or someone you know with cancer might just want to test this yourselves. Surround yourself in beauty, art, music, dancing, or whatever form of art makes you feel good and see if your health doesn't begin to improve immediately. I'm a survivor and it worked for me.

Cancer Cures That Give You So Much More Than Just Hope

Every one of us is sure to know at least one person battling what seems to have become one of the most dreaded chronic diseases of our time - cancer. Yes, cancer. In fact the last decade seems to have only seen a rise in the amount of people affected by this disease. This in turn had led to more research - research on why cancer is caused in the first place, as well as drugs that make treatment a simpler process and could perhaps one day eliminate the disease from our bodies without chances of it coming back.

While scientists are still trying to find a complete cure for cancer in the 21st Century, a doctor by the name of Max Gerson beat them to it in the 1920s. Before you start looking, it is not some wonder drug. It is simply an all natural solution - a very effective one to restore and maintain good health. The reasoning behind this treatment is simple - chronic diseases can only affect the body when it is compromised and its defences are down. What then is this treatment all about?

Gerson's therapy works on rebuilding your damaged immune system and brings your body back to its original state, so that toxins are flushed out and the balance of good nutrients is restored. The immune system is rebuilt by infusing the body with tons of fresh organic nutrients obtained from organic produce. This replenishes an otherwise nutrient deficit body. Toxins from the cells are also eliminated simultaneously. This is done through coffee enemas - at least 5 per day. Coffee enemas seem strange to most people in the western world, but they are one of the most powerful detoxification processes known to man and as a side effect they relieve even the most intense pain.

Gerson's therapy works on a simple theory - cancer thrives when the body is acidic. Therefore the end objective here is to raise the alkalinity of the body. The therapy elevates the pH of the body at a rapid rate taking it from acidic to alkaline in no time at all. As a result the protein digesting (proteolytic) enzymes from the pancreas are reactivated. These enzymes keep cancer in check. The therapy also works on the red blood cells in the body, as a result of which these cells lose the ability to carry oxygen in an acidic environment. From here on it is pretty much a domino effect. The blood stream does not supply the disease with oxygen and the now revived immune system begins to fight back - the disease doesn't stand a chance. This body change is quite dramatic and most of the time the results can be seen quickly.
