Innovita Life’s immunotherapy treatment offers a holistic approach to cancer patients, adopting a multi-factorial strategy that addresses the root causes of cancer.
Undertaking cell immunotherapy is just one part of the treatment, it is also essential that steps are taken to maintain a healthy biological terrain (sometimes referred to as ‘cellular environment). In simple terms, the aim is to create an ‘anti-cancer’ alkaline environment that will impede the growth of tumour cells.
What is a healthy biological terrain?
When we talk about the biological terrain, we are referring to gastrointestinal health which requires a delicate balance between the good (probiotics) and bad (pathogenic) bacteria to ensure a fully functioning digestive tract. When balanced correctly, this cellular environment also prevents the build-up of toxins and infectious bacteria that can cause tumours, such as the H.pylori which can cause cancer of the liver. If the balance is upset, the pathogenic bacteria can move in, multiply and attack the good bacteria.
It is possible to undertake a BTA (biological terrain assessment) by one of Innovita’s doctors, such as Dr. Bertil de Klyn. This is a non-invasive process that evaluates internal health by measuring blood, urine, pH, resistivity and oxidation to establish the alkalinity, minerals and vitamins levels.
Creating an anti-cancer environment
Maintaining a healthy alkaline environment is crucial for gastrointestinal health to ensure the gut is populated with the right balance of good and bad bacteria and that food can travel through smoothly. If the bacteria in your gut are not healthy, this leads to an acidic environment which allows cancer cells to grow, whereas healthy bacteria help to create an alkaline ‘anti-cancer’ environment.
Today’s diet of fast-food, preservatives, high protein and excessive salt, fat and sugar combine to create the perfect storm leading to ill-health and obesity. Needless to say, this type of diet also has an adverse effect on your gut health, as it destroys crucial pancreatic enzymes which can fight off cancer cells, if allowed to flourish.
The first step is to follow a healthy diet and exercise programme that is conducive to maintaining healthy gut bacteria, general good health and wellbeing.
Here are some options that could be included in a tailor-made treatment plan to flush out your system, and replenish vitamins and minerals:
- Eat your greens
“Eat your greens”, is a well-worn phrase from many people’s childhood, yet you may not understand just how important it is for gastrointestinal health. Eating vegetables, of any colour, provides lots of valuable nutrients. - Fibre
Increasing insoluble fibre is also recommended for cancer treatment, as it can smooth the way for food to pass through the intestine, thereby shortening its exposure to any carcinogens in the food, and also promotes healthy gut bacteria. - Reduce protein
Although protein is essential to a healthy balanced diet, it is not advisable to consume over 100grams per day. The excess ends up clogging up the internal terrain, reducing blood flow and impairing communication between cells and blocking lymph nodes. - Probiotics
Taking probiotics such as Bifidus and Lactobacillus acidophilus can protect the gut against harmful bacteria and chemicals. This occurs via the secretion of ‘mediators’ which prevent pathogenic bacteria from growing, thereby allowing the healthy stuff to be absorbed into the bloodstream and the toxins expelled via the bowels. Probiotics also provide essential vitamins including B6, B12 and K which are required to turn proteins into amino acids and to stimulate the spleen and thymus, both of which are crucial elements of the immune system. - Reduce stress
High levels or sustained stress produces cortisol which is bad for the immune system and most cancers are able to grow due to an impaired immune system. It is crucial to manage your stress successfully in order to avoid weakening the immune system. This can be achieved in many ways, via exercise, socialising, meditating and even enlisting the services of a life coach to help you develop positive habits. - Pancreatic enzyme supplements
Proteolytic pancreatic enzymes can also be prescribed as part of a holistic cellular immunotherapy cancer treatment programme. Pancreatic enzymes can help to prevent cancer by:- Removing and digesting the protein coating that disguise tumour cells. Once this coating has been removed, the immune system can recognise the corrupted cells.
- Removing the outer coating of the cancer cells reduces the chance of adhering to other parts of the body leading to metastases.
- Stimulating the T-cells and Natural Killer cells in the immune system.
- Destroying unformed cancer cells during the reproductive phase.
- Preventing possible allergy triggering particles of food from entering the blood.
- Reducing the acidity of the biological terrain.
- Water
Lastly, but not least…the many health benefits of drinking plenty of water are well-known, particularly with regards to hydration and detoxing. Increasing water intake is essential if taking fibre supplements to ensure stools are loose and good gut health.
