Cancer Prevention and Treatment With Whole Organic Sea Therapy: How the Use of Seaweeds Aids Healing

Cancer Prevention and Treatment With Whole Organic Sea Therapy: How the Use of Seaweeds Aids Healing
By Susan Dekker

If we increase our awareness about cancer prevention and start early with prevention strategies we can help to protect ourselves from developing cancer. But even after cancer has been diagnosed, the good news is that the use of whole organic seaweed products can be beneficial through all stages of treatment to provide nutritional supplementation, aid in detoxification, and enhance immunity and cell regeneration.

I use whole organic sea therapy products made from brown and green seaweeds gathered off the coast of Vancouver Island. These seaweeds are a treasure of ocean minerals, nutrients, vitamins and trace elements. Brown kelps are the most highly mineralized plants on earth. They accumulate minerals directly from the ocean and concentrate them within their plant structures. All these health-giving minerals in seaweed are readily available to you when applied to the body and absorbed through the skin, (or ingested by drinking organic mint green tea). Kelps provide colloidal minerals that can facilitate the unloading of toxic substances and assist other nutrients, such as trace elements, in being utilized and transported to cells. In terms of cancer prevention and treatment, perhaps two of the most powerful components of the seaweeds are iodine and fucoidan.

Iodine is a necessary nutrient, not only for proper thyroid functioning but, it is also essential for the normal functioning of cells, nervous system, muscles, brain development, oxygen utilization, metabolism, a strong immune system, and a whole lot more. According to Dr. Guy Abraham, M.D., a former professor of obstetrics, gynecology, and endocrinology at the U.C.L.A. School of Medicine, and a leading authority on iodine, says the benefits of sufficient iodine levels in the human body go far beyond this. Iodine may take a leading role in other healing functions of the body, such as prevention of cancer (especially in breasts, ovaries, uterus, prostate and thyroid gland), the prevention and treatment of fibrocystic breasts in women, and regulation of blood pressure. It can be noted that Japanese women have one of the lowest incidences of breast cancer in the world. They typically eat more than 13g of iodine daily, in the form of seaweed. The content of natural iodine found in the seaweeds is thousands of times higher than in land plants.

Most people have never heard of fucoidan because it is hasn't had much attention in the media. However it has been the topic of many scientific studies. It is an antioxidant that has been scientifically proven to kill cancer cells, as well as enhance immunity and cellular health. Scientists have established that fucoidan stimulates the death of certain cancer cells by supporting their normal disposal from the body. Fucoidan stimulates the immune response when the body is attacked, slowing down the growth and spreading of non-native cells. Fucoidan supports blood circulation to native body cells, fights off virus and bacteria, and regenerates tissue. Within the molecular structure of fucoidan is the presence of fucose which is a healing sugar, not to be confused with fructose. Fucose is also found abundantly in human breast milk, and that is why babies who are breastfed for longer periods of time seem to have a stronger immune system. Both fucoidan and fucose can be found in ample supply in whole organic seaweed products.

Seaweeds may be used in body and facial treatments in a variety of ways. They can be applied during body treatments to help rid the body of toxins and increase lymphatic drainage. They can be applied directly to the face and body for absorption of their high mineral, vitamin and trace element content. Seaweeds can also be taken internally in a tea, mixed with green and mint flavors.

I hope this article has been of value and interest to you. I feel it is important that people take charge of their own health care and become aware of the available holistic treatments for both prevention and treatment of disease. Please contact me for further information on my therapeutic treatments and products, and to schedule a session. Be well.

Blessings,
