Natural Infections Help To Prevent and Cure Cancer
Did you know that the immune system also targets and destroys cancer cells? Many studies have shown that acute infectious diseases, especially when accompanied by a fever, appears to have a protective effect against cancer (see links below). In other words, being exposed to common infectious diseases, including measles, mumps, chicken pox, and the flu, appears to make the immune system more resilient and effective even when dealing with cancer cells. According to "Miller's Review of Critical Vaccine Studies:"
"Several diseases have oncolytic (anti-cancer) properties. For example, tumour remissions after measles infection are well-documented in the medical literature. Scientists have known for quite some time that infections in early life protect against various cancers later in life. Later born children have less cancer than their siblings. Children who go to daycare in early life are more protected against cancers for the same reason. Vaccinations denied babies opportunities to become naturally infected, and with this reduction in exposure to disease there was a trade-off - increased rates of cancer."
It is quite clear that acute infectious diseases, especially those that cause a fever, can serve an important purpose in detoxifying the body and boosting the immune system. This has been known for hundreds of years. Even Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, once said, "Give me the power to create a fever, and I shall cure any disease." It's also important to note that most, if not all, vaccines are not evaluated as a potential cause of cancer. Fortunately, we already have a power within us that heals us and initiates a fever timeously, and that is the body's nervous system, which is constantly working to keep us healthy and resilient. By improving the function of the nervous system, it's easy to see how chiropractic can indirectly also help to prevent and fight cancer.
