Pomegranate protection means that your diet matters. The power of pomegranate is in what it does, preventing or reversing atherosclerosis or hardening of the arteries.  Human and animal studies show that pomegranate juice reduces oxidative stress, low-density lipoproterin (LDL) aggregation and oxidation, and reduces the platelet clumping that is associated with arteriosclerosis. By slowing the clumping it stops clots from forming, it  works like aspirin, without the side effects. It also lowers the systolic blood pressure reading.

Pomegranate Power

Part of the power of pomegranate juice is its antioxidant properties. The antioxidant level is 3X more than found in green tea, red wine, blueberries, cranberries and oranges. Antioxidants help guard the body against premature aging, heart disease, alzheimer’s, and cancer. Pomegranate is good for inflammatory conditions. It is used in other parts of the world to keep the look of youth with clear and glowing skin. Pomegranate also supplies you with vitamin C, fiber, and Potassium.

Pomegranate juice seems to destroy cancer cells, while protecting healthy cells. It seems to work on breast cancer cells, and prostrate cancer. There is research that shows consumption of pomegranate juice may protect the neonatal brain from damage due to injury. It improves the amount of oxygen to the heart muscle of people suffering from coronary heart disease. Research has found that eight ounces daily of pomegranate juice improved the amount of oxygen getting to the heart muscle of patients with coronary heart disease (American Journal of the college of Cardiology, (Sept. 2005).  There is some research that long-term consumption of pomegranate juice may help combat erectile dysfunction (Journal of Urology, July 2005). This should not be a surprise because erectile dysfunction is often due to atherosclerosis, and/or blood pressure medication

Research

Research shows that there is a possibility that pomegranate compounds might prevent prostrate cancer or slow its growth. The same holds true for breast cancer, it causes breast cancer cells to self-destruct. Scientists have found inflammation is reduced, and this may help in arthritis. Now we really do not need more studies, what we need is more people using these super foods.

The unique properties are; antioxidant polyphenols, ascorbic, citric, fumaic, and malic acids, essential amino acids, vitamins B and C. One pomegranate has about 40 percent of the recommended daily vitamin C. It also has some vitamin A and E. The power of pomegranate comes from the power of nature. All the laboratories in the world are not going to come up with more beneficial forms of the substances found in fruits and vegetables.

The focus on any cancer treatment should be creating a winning hand. The focus shouldn’t be on eradicating the tumour, it should be on creating perfect health. Cancer isn’t a mystical occurrence. The mission is not to think eradicating a cancer is synonymous with health.

Health an Inside Job

What the medical segment has done is to separate the disease from the person. They look outside for a cure. Inside is where all the activity is going on. What that really means is the patient is outsourcing their health care. Succeeding to fail is what happens to the patient when the pharmaceutical kingdom tries to outdo the plant kingdom.

Pharmaceutical Harm

The threshold to the poisons called treatment is lower than one would expect. Pharmaceuticals cleared for use are not necessarily safe. The threshold of toxicological concerns are an appreciable risk to human health. There is no common sense used in pharmaceutical applications.

Empowered Patient

The missing ingredient is all medical treatment is an empowered patient. While prevention is the best medicine the next best thing is correcting what is wrong. That could range from diet, stress, chemical exposure, emotions and belief system. It is time to get territorial: this is your life and your body. The medical community and the pharmaceutical industry are very territorial. They protect their research and patents.

We haven’t scratched the surface on our healing ability. Our personal health is over-regulated and under capitalized. What that means is we have put some large entity in charge of our health. At the same time we have under capitalized other areas of natural healing.

So far most of oncology is whistling in the dark. The worst part is they are discharging the risks of very toxic treatments. They look at that as a by-product of treatments. This isn’t a suitable approach since they usually don’t score a home run.

The patient has to make the winning hand by implementing their own innovated strategies with or without allopathic treatment. I will feature success stories on this blog. People heal by their sheer power and that must be integrated into any treatment plan be it allopathic or natural.

Bottom Line

I think the term alternative healing shouldn’t be applied to natural healing, but to the medical system. Real healing is synonymous with wellness.

Presented here is a simple and straightforward cancer video. At this point I would rather let some videos do the talking. For this post I abandoning scavenging medical news and instead will go for a real sense of disclosure. Testimonials by real people who have tuned around unfortunate health conditions is more meaningful.

Having them lead by example will help others be ready for whatever happens health wise. They are examples of taking control of their lives not losing control. They present a new way when negotiating with the medical Goliath. It is important to be aware of all possibilities. There are times that medical means hasten your demise.

When struggling with any health condition it means identifying the causes. In America diet, stress, and chemicals all play a roll. Going for the long haul means you need to integrate something bigger than what medicine offers for a healthy future.
