Why Are We Getting So Much Cancer
Our Western environment is also a breeding ground for cancer. Other factors include diet and obesity, a sedentary lifestyle, eating too much sugar or food that turns into sugar, such as alcohol, processed food and fast release carbs such as bread and pastry. Consumption of fried food is also known to be carcinogenic Smoking, Polluted air and water, exposure to chemicals all around us as well as radiation from our phones.
Living in a plastic society could also have an effect. Viruses and infections are proven to be able to cause cancer. Some of us are more exposed to cancer risks in the workplace too (coal miners being the most obvious example) Genetics unfortunately also plays a part too.
Cancer Is A Tricky Customer
Our body’s immune system has the natural capacity to detect and destroy abnormal cells, thereby preventing the development of many cancers. However, cancer cells are sometimes able to avoid detection and destruction by the immune system.
We now know that the reason certain cancers can be so hard to treat, may be due to the fact that cancer cells have this ability to disguise themselves from being detected by our white blood cells, which are the main weapon of our immune system. This gives them free reign to spread and develop tumours, without being identified and attacked by our immune system.
Astaxanthin – A Novel Approach To Cancer Treatment
Most traditional cancer treatments target the symptoms of a cancer, which are usually expressed as tumours. Common treatments include radiation, chemotherapy, surgery or drugs. Astaxanthin works in a different way; it has a unique molecular structure that appears to enable it to target the cancer at a cellular level and thereby inactivate the cancers ability to disguise itself from our immune system. By doing this, it could enable the body to fight off the cancer itself, as it takes away cancers secret weapon; that of disguise.
Astaxanthin can also assist with keeping cells healthy, by helping the cell protect the membrane of its outer shell.
Astaxanthin is also a potent anti-inflammatory, proven to be 1000 times stronger than aspirin. This feature is very beneficial to the immune system when fighting off any illness, as well as promoting overall health and fitness.
Astaxanthin is a powerful and natural immunotherapy supplement, with almost no known side effects. In fact, almost all the side effects are actually positive, due to the protection it gives to all our cells, not just the cancerous ones.
