Have you ever experienced nerve-wracking news that you think might change your life forever? Ever felt so helpless, shocked, and lost? Well, this is my story in 2013; our trip to Europe was cut short when my husband experienced sharp pain in his lower back. Upon diagnosis, my biggest fear and nightmare befell us; it was cancer. We were both shocked and did not know what to do, it was tough, but we never lost hope.
My husband and I decided that we will fight and explore all possibilities. Our quest began in search of every single treatment available to us. Like most cancer patients, we started Chemotherapy. As my husband was going through Chemo, I started feeling a strange emptiness and did not find the real meaning of healing with toxic substances. Despite all that, I felt science says that this was our best chance to defeating the disease.
Having little knowledge on Chemo and cancer, I decided to ask questions from my husband’s nurse, who told me “Be smart.” The response came with a significant breakthrough, after which I searched for ways to heal cancer naturally and met this massive world of hope and beautiful people. From that point, one point led to the other, we changed oncologists, and I started the quest to research alternative ways to supplement my husband’s Chemo treatment.
We started using Vitamins, Minerals, Amino acids, herbs, and multiple natural substances to help him heal and detoxify what contributed to make him sick as for example heavy metals. He took Digestive Enzymes every day with and without food. Probiotics, Vitamin B Complex, Immune boosters, mushroom complex, between many more.
Minerals are so important because we require all minerals for our overall health, some play a more important role in cancer treatment. A lot of these minerals are found in the food we eat but due to processing and cooking, they are lost. Besides this, the soil in which our food is grown is also depleted of minerals. As a result, we don’t get the required amounts of these minerals from our diet. This is where supplements come in.
Magnesium is one such mineral that is crucial for our health. It is involved in over 300 biochemical reactions in the body including energy production and detoxification. Cancer cells have a higher requirement for energy and produce more toxins than normal cells. This makes magnesium an important nutrient for cancer patients. The role in DNA replication and repair makes it doubly important. The role of magnesium for patients with cancer doesn’t stop there. It is also involved in the relaxation of smooth muscles, making it beneficial for patients suffering from constipation or diarrhea. For patients undergoing chemotherapy, magnesium can help to reduce some of the side effects such as nausea and vomiting. While magnesium supplements are readily available, it is always best to get your minerals from food. Some good sources of magnesium include dark leafy greens, nuts, seeds, and fish.
Similarly, another important mineral for cancer patients is selenium. It is an antioxidant that helps to protect the cells from damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals are produced in large quantities by cancer cells. Selenium also helps in the production of glutathione, another important antioxidant. Glutathione plays a role in detoxification and boosts the immune system. Selenium can be found in Brazil nuts, eggs, fish, and meat.
After years of observing how his body was gaining strength, from the supplements and alternative treatments, my husband felt stronger and healthier. From the start, my husband was always positive and highly energetic. After the diagnosis, he told me, “It’s not about healing the Physical body, but the Soul,” and since that moment we put every treatment in God’s hands. I became a Naturopathic Doctor, that lead me to start my own business My Road to Wellness with passion, experience, and testimony with love for Supplements, Raw vegetable juices, Herbs, and Medicine. Then I decided to start my own Supplement brand choosing clean, non-toxic, natural formulas that could really benefit the body. My Balance Nutrisentials.
