Natural Herbs For Cancer Fighting

by Editorial Staff

This post on Natural Herbs For Cancer Fighting will take a look at a man from New Plymouth, NZ.

There is no denying that the shift is in on how to treat cancer. More people are becoming aware of all the dangers associated with chemo and radiation therapy.

The sticky saying is now that the patient did not die from the cancer, but from the treatment.

The power herb ashwagandha is responsible for this recovery. We found this article at the Taranaki Daily News that was written by Kirsty McMurray.

Here is the post bolstering Natural Herbs For Cancer Fighting:

“Alternative medicine is proving the answer for one Taranaki cancer patient who claims his immune system was wrecked by chemotherapy.

Hari Nath, a chemical engineer from New Plymouth, was 20 kilograms underweight and in a wheelchair when he travelled to India to find a solution to the painful recurring throat ulcers he developed after being treated with intravenous chemotherapy for non-Hodgkins lymphoma.

He said he tried everything modern medicine had to offer, including controversial drug thalidomide, at hospitals in Bangalore and Kerala, but nothing worked apart from high doses of the steroid prednisone, which worsened his diabetes, and left him prone to infection and in an emotional tailspin.

“After a year of unsuccessful struggle and a life with pain killers and antidepressants, the feeling of hopelessness crept in and I googled to search for a naturally occurring steroid equivalent and stumbled across a herb called ashwagandha (witheria somnifera) used in Indian Ayurvedic medicine over thousands of years for improving immune system,” he said.

Shortly after starting to take the herb, Mr Nath began to feel better.

Within a week he was able to halve his steroid dose without the ulcers coming back, and a month later his blood tests began to show a remarkable improvement.

“A blood test showed a sharp jump in total white cell counts with my lymphocytes increased from previous level of 600-700 to a whopping 2500-2800. Interestingly my ESR [indication of inflammation/infection] also had a sharp dip from 80 to below 20, ” he said.

Three months later he was able to stop taking the steroids altogether and got back to a healthy weight and state of mind.

Mr Nath said that if a year before someone had suggested he take a herb to treat his problem he would’ve dismissed it out of hand.”

Ashwagandha is primarily used to combat stress, boost the immune system and enhance male virility. Hopefully, we can also add cancer fighting to this list.

There is a trend going on that is worth noting. The main natural herbs that we use for certain purposes are being found to benefit in more ways than originally thought.

If you are looking to boost your immune system try Immunice. One of the ingredients used is Ashwagandha.
