Strange Bacteria STOPS Colon Cancer (Wow!)

Dear Living Well Daily Reader,
So often in mainstream medicine, everything is black and white.
You either get dismissed for your worries, or you get more prescriptions than you can count.
And when it comes to cancer, it’s the same… there are no surprises.
Your doctor will most likely develop a treatment plan of chemo and radiation or surgery. But far too often, you’re still left with cancer.
Now it’s time to try something different.
It’s a group of strange bacteria that has the potential to STOP colon cancer in its tracks.
It’s something the mainstream has no clue about… and it’s much easier to get than you think.
I’m talking about your microbiome.
As it turns out, a healthy balance of positive and negative bacteria in your gut is the secret to treating cancer.
You see, some of the bacteria in your gut can actually SPEED UP the growth of cancer, while others can STOP it.
One study found that certain bacteria help grow new tumors, including one very common one: H. pylori.
This bacterium leads to gut dysfunction like gastritis, which inflames your digestive tract. And as we know, inflammation is a huge contributor to cancer.
And once your colon becomes inflamed with dangerous bacteria, it can become resistant to chemo drugs, worsening your outcome.
Luckily, a simple test in your doctor’s office can determine whether or not you’ve been infected with H. pylori.
But even better, you can fight back by supporting the good bacteria. By helping your microbiome replace the healthy cancer-fighters that have been killed off, you can stop colon cancer in its tracks.
In fact, studies have shown that good bacteria can even help with difficult drug-resistant cancers.
Taken as a whole, the microbiome plays a BIG role in cancer prevention AND treatment.
It’s in your best interest to have as healthy a microbiome as possible… and it’s much easier than you think.
Dr. Scott’s Anti-Cancer Gut Health Program:
- Vitamin C. Some studies have shown that high intravenous doses of vitamin C have been shown in many studies to help support cancer treatment.
- Ginseng. Known for helping with memory, fatigue, and longevity, this herb also has numerous studies that support its use for fighting cancer.
- Turmeric. This is a mild yellow spice that’s been shown to help with breast cancer, bowel cancer, stomach cancer, and skin cancer.
- Immune-Boosting Mushrooms. These medical mushrooms have thousands of studies that show they are helpful in boosting the immune system, reducing the spread of cancer cells, and killing cancer cells.
- Eat enough fiber. This not only helps with regular bowel movements, but it can also help stimulate healthy bacterial growth. I always suggest that people take both water-soluble and water-insoluble fiber. One of my favorite fibers is ground flax seeds.
P.S. If you do nothing else, try this miracle fruit that can unlock PERFECT gut health. Find out what it is and where to get it right here.
