Prevent Cancer With Chiropractic Care

By Michelle Caron


Cancer is a disease comprised of the sporadic and rapid division of abnormal cells sometimes causing a malignant growth or tumor. The part of the body this cell division takes place in usually determines or labels the type of cancer. There are many risk factors believed to cause cancer, and everyone has cancer cells growing in their body. It is when harmful substances or other forms of abuse to the body cause these cells to multiply that a person is said to have cancer.

Cancer is multifactorial, meaning there is no one cause, but many factors that may contribute to a person developing cancer. Factors believed to cause cancer are called cancer cell "carcinogens". Some people have a predisposition to certain types of cancer, meaning that your genetic make-up makes it more likely you will develop cancer. Other factors include: sun or tanning bed exposure, smoking cigarettes, drinking an excess of alcohol or taking illegal drugs, consuming an unhealthy diet, leading a sedentary lifestyle, exposing yourself to toxic substances in your work, leisure or home environment (for example microwaving in plastic), and simply aging (the longer we live, the more likely we are to create and accumulate enough genetic damage to develop cancer).

The chiropractic philosophy involves treating people with natural means, and this goes for cancer treatments and prevention as well. Developing a strong, healthy body and immune system are key to preventing cancer. In addition, identifying and avoiding toxic substances can prevent cancer cells from growing in the body. Avoiding preservatives and chemicals from lawn and weed sprays, non-organic foods, and vaccines can also decrease cancer risk. Identifying these potential risks, and finding safe alternatives are part of the chiropractic treatment plan.

Chiropractic care to treat and prevent cancer is comprised of many types of treatments. Nutrition is looked at, and healthy food choices for fighting cancer are recommended. For example, certain nutrients, vitamins and minerals have been found effective for fighting and preventing cancer, and can be identified and sold at many chiropractic clinics. Preventing cancer and even reversing tumors is possible with certain, strict nutrition guidelines.

Chiropractors can also recommend a healthy way of eating, supplemented by cancer fighting foods, vitamins and minerals. They can also recommend foods and nutrients that boost the immune system, making it stronger at fighting diseases like cancer. These nutrients can not only help to prevent cancer, but have even been found to reverse cancer tumors. Chiropractic care goes a long way in treating and even preventing cancer.
