HEAL YOUR CANCER

 A grandfather, who was told by doctors that his cancer was 'incurable', has been given the all-clear less than four months later - after trying a different diet.

Allan Taylor could have been forgiven for fearing the worst when doctors told him they could do nothing to treat his condition.

But the 78-year-old would not give up, and instead searched the internet for an alternative method to fight his cancer.

After studying websites, he decided to radically change his diet - and found his condition improved dramatically.

Mr Taylor, a retired oil rig engineer from Middlesbrough, replaced red meat and dairy products with 10 portions of raw fruit and vegetable each day.

His diet included powdered grass, curry spices, apricot seeds and selenium tablets.

Mr Taylor made the changes after he received a letter on April 30, telling them were was no point having any more chemotherapy as it would not cure him and neither would an operation.  

'They said if they cut out the cancer it would just pop up somewhere else,' he told the Sunday Mirror. 'But I was determined to stay positive and decided to find my own cure.

On August 6 I got a letter from North Tees hospital to say a scan had shown my cancer had gone and "the abnormality is no longer visible". I’m all clear.'

Mr Taylor's ordeal began in February last year when he noticed a two-inch lump in his abdomen.

Diagnose everyday health symptoms

Every day, your body tells you all kinds of things: Scratch my elbow. I’d like some salt. But hidden in these signals can be deeper messages about your health. Here’s how to decode them.

What You Can Learn From the Whites of Your Eyes

If they look grayish: It’s probably just a result of the natural aging process, which can make the whites of your eyes (formally known as sclerae) become grayer. 

“The sclera thins over time, so the deep vascular tissue underneath shows through,” says Christopher Coad, an ophthalmologist at Chelsea Eye Associates, in New York City. That said, there are some serious medical conditions that can turn your whites gray, including rheumatoid arthritis and brittle bone syndrome. As a starting point, schedule an exam with your ophthalmologist, who may refer you to a specialist.

If they look red: Most likely, your eyes are dry. Those red squiggles you see are tiny blood vessels, which become more prominent when eyes are irritated. 

“Dryness can be a result of age, staring at the computer, or environmental factors, like air-conditioning,” says Coad. Preservative-free artificial tears (sold at drugstores) help lubricate eyes with ingredients like glycerin and can soothe irritation; use four to six times daily, as needed. If the dryness worsens, see your ophthalmologist, as “dry eyes can be a symptom of conditions like thyroid disease and diabetes,” says Coad. If you also have itching and tearing, allergies may be to blame; try an over-the-counter antihistamine.

If they look yellow: It may be jaundice, which is caused by a high level of bilirubin, a by-product of red blood cells. See a doctor right away, as jaundice can be a sign of several serious health problems, including liver dysfunction, hepatitis, and, in rare cases, pancreatic cancer.

What You Can Learn From Your Sleep Habits

If you fall asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow: Surprise, surprise—you’re probably sleep deprived, says Dr. James Herdegen, the medical director of the Sleep Science Center at the University of Illinois at Chicago. It takes a well-rested person about 10 to 15 minutes to fall asleep. Ideally, aim for eight hours or so a night. If you already get that much, see your doctor to rule out sleep-onset conditions such as restless legs syndrome.

If you wake up a lot at night: You may have sleep maintenance insomnia, in which the difficulty isn’t falling asleep but staying asleep. The disorder has been linked to anxiety, depression, and sleep apnea. If you toss and turn or experience daytime sleepiness for more than four weeks, see your doctor, who may refer you to a sleep specialist.

What You Can Learn From Your Cravings

If you crave salt: You may need some stress relief. Your constant search for a salt fix could signal that your adrenal glands, which pump adrenaline and other hormones into your blood when you’re feeling anxious, have been working so hard that they’re temporarily exhausted.

Prevent cancer with ‘poor man’s pepper’

While many people go to the supermarket for their food, some people – like Steve ‘Wildman’ Brill, forage in the wild. Recently, the Medicine Hunter, Chris Kilham, went to Central Park in New York City with Brill, who likes to forage for food there. The pair discovered ‘poor man’s pepper,’ or Lapidium virginicum, a tasty member of the mustard family, which may prevent cancer, according to Brill. Poor man’s pepper blocks carcinogens from getting into your cells – and preventing cancer. “I think prevention is the best medicine,” Brill said. “I’ve been using a lot of wild foods for a long time. I’m in my 60s and seem to be perfectly healthy, which is not the case with just about everyone in my parents’ and grandparents’ generation. So the same genes, but different food.” Brill said he uses poor man’s pepper in salads, and cooks with it – adding it to sauces or using as a seasoning. “It makes a nice seasoning; tastes a little like arugula, a little bit like other mustard greens,” he added. Kilham said he thought poor man’s pepper had a “nice, spicy flavor.” Brill said poor man’s pepper can be found anywhere – it might even grow in your backyard – but the problem lies in recognizing it and making sure you have the right plant. “Back in Columbus' day pepper was expensive,” he said. “People had food that was going rotten, there were food shortages. They needed to cover up the rotten food with spices that cost a lot of money because they came from Asia. That's why Columbus went exploring.” Check out Brill’s website at wildmanstevebrill.com to learn about his downloadable app, which can help you identify plants.FOXNEWS
