CANCER - CONTINUED

Ever since that d-day I have been searching for alternative treatments for this disease. Yes I am very much against radiation and chemotherapy for good reasons. When you search the net you find many cancer patients write about their chemo or radiation therapy and how it has adversely affected their lives. Last night when I spoke to Mataji she too told me that someone related to her ashram swamiji's had cancer and was going through chemo; and this lady had said that no one should undergo chemo. 
Now this city has no unit for radiation therapy or chemotherapy; one of the doctors from here said -'the license for radiation therapy is not easily given to any hospital, for the simple reason - radiation of the rays.' The safety of the surrounding areas is taken into consideration before the license is given. If that is the case, how is it considered safe for the cancer patient? Now they have a new term - targeted radiation and chemo. Obviously the cost is higher and it is believed to be targeted only on the affected area, so the rays do not (optimistically) touch the surrounding areas inside the patient's body. Why was this not the main thought initially?  
My search for alternative treatment gave me a lot of information and knowledge about this disease. 
http://candida-international.blogspot.in/2007/03/is-cancer-caused-by-candida-fungus.html - I found this site very informative and had sound arguments.

I have been curious to know how did I get cervical cancer? Was there something I may have done to contribute towards its manifestation? My search on the net provided me with some answers. HPV (Human Papillomaviruses) comes out as the main cause for cervical cancer in women. 
https://www.cancer.org/cancer/cervical-cancer/causes-risks-prevention/what-causes.html
The above site says - Some genes control when cells grow, divide, and die:· 
  • Genes that help cells grow, divide, and stay alive are called oncogenes.
  • Genes that help keep cell growth under control or make cells die at the right time are called tumor suppressor genes.
Cancers can be caused by DNA mutations (gene defects) that turn on oncogenes or turn off tumor suppressor genes.
But HPV is not the only cause of cervical cancer.
another site says -
  • Causes and risk factors for cervical cancer include human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, having many sexual partners, smoking, taking birth control pills, and engaging in early sexual contact.
  • All women are at risk for cervical cancer. ... The human papillomavirus (HPV) is the main cause of cervical cancerHPV is a common virus that is passed from one person to another during sex. Most sexually active people will have HPV at some point in their lives, but few women will get cervical cancer
Then I read that women with moles or warts, passed down in the genes are also at risk. I have a couple of red moles, my mum had, so did my maternal grandmother, a couple of aunts; but none of them developed cancer. I did. Why? Change of food habits? Lifestyle change? Or is it in the air? Still to unravel.  Yoga I am doing to fight this disease are - pavanamuktasana, bhujangasana, butterfly (tried boddhokonasana but just did not get the pose right, not anymore, not like before), halasana, matsyasana (not perfect), and savasana with deep breathing. Today I started mahamudra with jalandhara bandh and mula bandh. My blood pressure is normal, no sugar or diabetes, my heart is okay, my pulse rate is normal,so is my palpitation -something new I found they check. mahamudra with all these bandhs is not advisable for anyone with blood pressure problems or heart problems. period. I shall eventually know the result of these experiments very soon. I also have - two teaspoons of roasted flax seeds (found that at Patanjali store) in a day, hot water with one lemon juice before breakfast, stopped sugar completely, two caps of cow urine with equal amount of hot water twice a day, baking soda (soda bicarbonate) with honey (not regularly), apricot and its seed, grapes, nuts, oranges. And I have two raw garlic pods at lunch time with my first two morsels of food.     
I am keeping a diary. Don't know if it will benefit anyone with same problem.  My osteoarthritis and osteoporosis are intact. So is my thyroid and my spondylitis. I take on daily basis - thyronorm (75mcg), bio-d3 plus and sometimes hyfenac (plain) on days when I know I may have to be on my feet for a long duration.     
I hope to add more cheerful notes to this blog in the coming days.
