Chris Wark Beats Cancer

The Man Who Beat Cancer Refuses To Support Charities
Photo Credit  DietofLife
The man named Chris Wark refused harming chemo therapy and beat stage 3 cancer all naturally! Below he explains why he does not “race for the cure” or support most cancer charities for that matter.
Chris Wark was diagnosed with Stage 3 colon cancer some 14 years ago, back in 2002, at the age of only 26, far too young and kicking to be facing this potentially lethal disease. His medical doctors had a plan of attacking the disease, but so did Chris. At first, he hastily chose to have the tumor removed surgically, but then refused the mainstream western chemotherapy treatment. Chris feared the idea of chemo as a nightmare.
He asked himself, why he would choose to take drugs so devastating to the immune system when he needed it the most, to keep cancer from regrowing and coming back as metastatic. He thought of his future too.
The long days he had in front of him… He wanted to have children of his own and did not want anything to interfere with his reproductive ability. So he made up his mind and put his foot down. Chris told his doctors, “No chemo for me!”
Then he went on to clear any remaining cancer from his body by gearing up his impaired immune system with raw plant foods and natural therapeutic remedies. Now at his 35 years of age, Chris is cancer-free and can confidently say he has put cancer behind him!
Here we post Chris Wark’s anti-cancer salad recipe, which he used to heal himself. Be sure to check it out and share this inspiration story with those in dire need.
After Chris began eating healthy, he tried to back his diet with as many minerals, enzymes, and vitamins as possible. He claims that juicing fresh fruits and vegetables are the best way to satisfy your body daily needs.
Organic and raw vegetables, herbs and seeds are the main ingredients for his anti-cancer salad. Chris avoids eating meat and dairy products and claims that this salad is the healthiest you will be able to find!
Leafy dark vegetables are extremely high with anti-oxidants and are capable of stopping free radicals from harming our bodies. Chris also claims that fruits and vegetables need different digesting acids from the body, which is the reason he never mixes fruits with vegetables. If they are mixed, it can slow down the healing process.
Here is the list of ingredients for Chris’s anti-cancer salad. At the end of the article there is a link to a step-by-step video to prepare the salad:
-Kale, spinach, baby romaine, arugula
-Baby mushrooms
-Red onion
-Zucchini
-Squash
-Bell peppers
-Broccoli
-Celery
-Red cabbage
-Avocado
-Alfalfa sprouts
-Sunflower seeds
-Almonds
-Sprouted garbanzo beans
-Sprouted mung beans
-Sprouted red or green lentils
-Organic sauerkraut (containing only three ingredients: cabbage, water and salt)
 Salad dressing (NEVER use store bought!)
-Organic Cold-Pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil
-Organic Apple Cider Vinegar
 Sprinkle with these 4 cancer fighting spices:
-Organic Oregano
-Organic Garlic Powder
-Organic Turmeric or Curry Powder
-Organic Cayenne Pepper
Here is a video of Chris making his anti-cancer salad. It really is as easy as it looks:

Home Remedies To Relieve The Arthritis Pain In Your Hands





If you suffer from arthritis, you know that hands are one of the most common (and the most inconvenient too) places to experience it.
As arthritis wears away at the cartilage and cushioning in the joints, it causes inflammation, severe pain, and stiffness. Yesterday’s simple tasks like twisting a doorknob, gripping a utensil, or using a keyboard can become painful, difficult, or nearly impossible!
Medical options for arthritis do exist. Your doctor may prescribe you pain medications or anti-inflammatory treatments to help ease the symptoms. In some cases, steroid injections may be prescribed as well. There are also surgical repairs that can be considered if your arthritis is resistant to treatment.
Yet, before going in for something as dramatic as surgery, it may help to try a few home exercises to relieve the pain and stiffness of arthritic hands. Surely, you can try these exercises alongside medicines prescribed by your doctor, or on their own, but it is always best to start earlier than later. These exercises will help ‘flex –and-relax’ the joints in both hands and can be performed anywhere.
1. Finger bending
Spread and stretch your palm first.
Then slowly bend your thumb down until it touches your palm while keeping the other fingers as straight as you can.
Hold it there for 5 to 10 seconds, and then slowly straighten it back up.
Repeat for each finger and then switch to the other hand.

2. Making a fist
This exercise begins in the same spread “handshake” position as the first one. Start by holding your hand (either one works) up straight as if you were about to perform a handshake, though you do not need to extend your arm.
Next, slowly bend your hand into a fist where the thumb is on the outside of the hand.
It is important to be gentle during this action, so squeezing your hand is unnecessary. Once the fist is formed, open your hand until the fingers are straight once more. Repeat 10 times. Then switch to your other hand.
3. Thumb stretch
This begins similarly to the finger bending exercise, including the shake position and bending the thumb. However, instead of bending until it touches the palm, your goal is the base of the pinky finger.
You don’t need to make contact with the base, but you should stretch as far as you can. Hold that position for a few seconds, then slowly release. Repeat 10 times and then switch hands.
4. The claw
This exercise is also called the “O” exercise. You start with your hand held up and straight as if giving a high-five, with your fingers spread apart.
Next, slowly curve your fingers in until they touch. The result should be a claw or O-like shape.
Hold for 5 to 10 seconds and then straighten out. Perform this exercise a few times per day on each hand, but you do not need to do them all at once. The Claw works best when your hands start feeling sore or stiff.
5. Table bending
Start in the handshake position again, but this time rest the side of your hand on a flat surface so that your thumb is pointing upwards.
Keep the thumb pointing as straight up as you can while slowly folding your fingers inward. The result will be a “thumbs-up” pose.
Hold it for a few seconds and then straighten. Repeat 10 times and then switch hands.
NoteThis exercise works better when the hand can be kept level, which is what the table surface is meant to provide.
6. Finger lifts
Place your hand flat on a table with the palm down and fingers spread.
While keeping your other fingers as flat as possible, slowly lift your thumb as high as you can.
Hold for a few seconds and then lower.
Repeat for each finger and then switch hands.
7. Wrist stretch
Arthritis in the hands isn’t just limited to your fingers. This exercise is meant to aid yourwrists as well.
Begin by holding one arm out straight with the wrist loose and your palm hanging down and facing inwards.
Reach around with your other hand and press against the back of the loose hand, slowly pushing it towards your body.
Push until you feel a stretching sensation in your wrist and arm. Then hold for a few seconds before releasing. Repeat 10 times and switch hands.
Other home-made remedies
The above described-exercises are useful when you feel bouts of stiffness coming on and can keep your joints relatively loose. In addition to exercises, there are some other home remedies you can also try.
As always, be sure to talk to your doctor about any home or alternative remedies you are using or plan to use:
8. Garlic
Interestingly, garlic does not need to be eaten for you to enjoy the anti-inflammatory abilities that its sulfur and selenium content can offer. Instead, you can fry 2 chopped garlic cloves in 2 tablespoons of mustard oil. Turn off the heat and let the resulting mixture cool until it is warm to your taste. Then apply it to the affected joints and gently massage. Repeat twice daily.
9. Tea
The ginger tea has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and the honey/cinnamon combination is known to relax stiffened muscles. Teas prepared by using either of these can be helpful in easing arthritic hands.
Directions:
For ginger tea, boil a small portion in a cup of water for 10 minutes and then strain and drink 2 to 3 times per day. For honey and cinnamon, mix a tablespoon of honey and a half-teaspoon of cinnamon into your tea and then drink each morning on an empty stomach.
10. Epsom salts
Bone demineralization is a common side effect of arthritis. Epsom salts are a rich source of magnesium, which both lessens a nerve pain and is important for bone mineralization.
Directions: Mix 2 cups of Epsom salt in warm bath water and then soak your hands (or any other arthritic joint) for 20-30 minutes. It can take a few weeks to feel the effect.
11. Turmeric
Turmeric, just like ginger, has both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects that can be beneficial for pain relief in arthritic hands. But, unlike ginger, you do not make a tea with turmeric. Instead, add a teaspoon of turmeric to a glass of hot milk (a bit of honey for sweetness is optional) and drink once a day.
Another option is to add a tablespoon of turmeric to a quart of water and boil it for 10 minutes. Allow the resulting mixture to cool and then drink once each day.
12. An ice pack
An Ice pack can be helpful in reaching a quick relief for arthritic hands, as with any form of inflammation or swelling. You can use an ice pack, a sack of frozen vegetables, or even just ice cubes in a Ziploc bag.
Duration may vary with this method, but when using ice therapy you should place the ice pack on 1 or 2 joints at a time for a few minutes, leave it off for about 30 seconds, and then repeat. Continue until 20 minutes have passed and repeat several times a day.

Remember:
  Keep a towel or a fine cloth between the ice pack and your skin to avoid frostbite.

There are 3 ways in which you can combine, prepare and consume these powerful ingredients and get instant relief and positive results. We have made a research and will share the three methods that will work for you:
Method number 1:
To prepare this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:
  • 1 cup of ginger juice
  • 1 cup of lemon juice
  • 1 cup of apple cider vinegar (ACV)
  • 1 cup of garlic juice
  • 3 cups of natural honey
Follow these instructions for preparation and consumption:
First, you have to get the ingredients in its natural, organic form, if possible. Mix the ginger, lemon, garlic juice and the ACV in a bowl and boil them for half an hour until you get them perfectly mixed together.
After the liquid cools for a while, add the honey into the mix. Transfer the mixture into a glass bottle and put it in the refrigerator.
Every morning on an empty stomach consume about one teaspoon of the mix. In a few weeks you will feel the benefits that your body will get.
            Method Number 2:
For the second recipe, you will need these ingredients:
  • 30 cloves of garlic all chopped into little pieces.
  • 6 peeled lemons cut into small pieces.
Instructions for preparation:
Put the two ingredients into a blender, pouring a glass of water as well into the mix. Blend until you get a homogenous mixture. The content that you will get from the blender should be poured into a pot with 2 liters of water in it. Bring the liquid to a boil and let it simmer for another 5 minutes. When the content is cool enough, sieve the liquid and transfer it to a glass bottle. You should discard the residue and store the liquid into the fridge.
Directions for use:
As a first dosage, you should drink about 50 mL of the mixture, every day for three weeks. After the three weeks, make a pause of 1 week. After that 1 week passes, it is time for the second dosage, which is also drinking about 50mL of the mixture, every day, for about three weeks. You should repeat this treatment every 6 months.
            Method Number 3:
To prepare this 3rd recipe use these ingredients:
  • 6 lemons
  • 30 cloves of garlic
Instructions:
Put 3 lemons and 15 cloves of garlic into a food processor or a Vitamiser. Top it with water and a bit of sugar (which is optional) and vitamise.
Pour the texture into a metal pot. Do the same procedure with the other 3 lemons and the rest of the garlic cloves. Pour an additional 1 liter of water into the mixture in the pot. Bring all the ingredients in the pot to a boil and let it simmer for another 5 minutes.
Pour the liquid through a strainer and let it drain into another pot. After it has drained thoroughly, wait for it to cool off.
When the liquid is cool enough, use a strainer and funnel to pour it into glass bottles. You will probably get about 4 bottles of the mixture which should be placed and kept in the fridge. Keep in mind to use glass bottles!
Directions and dosage:
The first dosage that you should take would be about 1 standard glass of the mixture for about three weeks. After that, you should stop for one week. The second dosage is basically the same as the first one, drinking a glass of the mix every day for another three weeks.
No matter which method you will use and which recipe you prepare you will reap the benefits of the miraculous rejuvenating drink. For those of you, who are worried about the smell of garlic, should have in mind that lemon neutralizes it perfectly.
That is one of the reasons lemons and garlic is a good combination. Another healthy alternative after having this healthy drink, would be chewing on some parsley leaves which will give you a fresh smell.

Powerful Homemade Pineapple Drink That Treats Gout! (Recipe)



Gout is a terribly painful affliction so when we can come across a natural remedy that might just give some relief, you can bet your boots that we are going to give it a try.

I came across this wonderful article this morning and decided to share it in it's entirety. The link to the original site is attached so that full credit goes to the writer.

May all of you that suffer from gout find releif in this natural cure or at least gain some comfort and releif.


Any type of autoimmune disease that is progressive and cannot be reversed, can cause pain and discomfort which have to be controlled or at least brought into balance by a healthy lifestyle including diet and exercise.
In this article we will elaborate the causes and symptoms of gout and will share with you a recipe of a powerful drink which will help you ease and relieve the pain, while reducing the symptoms.
Gout is in fact a type of arthritis, causing burning pain, swelling, and stiffness, in a joint, usually a big toe.
Gout has to be treated because these discomfort issues will happen. If high levels of uric acid in the blood are not treated, they will most likely from hard crystals on the joints.
The causes and chances of getting gout are doubled in those cases where the obesity risk factor is higher and also in people who drink alcohol.
The breaking down of waste material would be way harder for people who are overweight and also for those who have kidney problems. Those are the ones that most likely will suffer uric acid attacks.
Most common symptoms that people with gout will get are: nighttime swelling, tenderness, redness and sharp pain in their big toe.
They also get attacks in their foot, ankle, knees and other joints. These attacks can be prolonged and last for a few days and even weeks. According to a doctor, the only way to relieve pain is by taking anti-inflammatory prescription pills, such as: ibuprofen or corticosteroids.
You will feel an ease in the pain, however, the symptoms will still stay the same, not getting any better. That link between medicine and easing of pain will make you be on pills any time you feel pain, and who wants to go through that process of feeling immense pain without taking something to relieve it, right?
Therefore, for all those who are in a status quo situation and think that do not have any other alternative that taking pills, we are about to change the perspective a little bit.
There is a direct link between your diet and your health. For that reason, the active ingredients that this drink is made of, will reduce pain and inflammation, naturally, and also diminish the symptoms that you suffer from. Every single ingredient adds upon the healing process, fighting the causes of gout.
INGREDIENTS:
  • Pineapple
  • Turmeric
  • Ginger Root
  • Tart Cherry Root
Why Pineapple?
We have chosen pineapple as one of the key ingredients of this drink because it contains the enzyme Bromelain, which is one of the most natural anti-inflammatory ingredients. Bromelain interferes with the hormones that are responsible for the swelling, and reduces it.
Enzyme is also great for diets rich in protein and meat, because it helps in digestion. Gout has especially been linked to diets that are high in uric acid, so a proper digestion of the meat proteins that is enabled by Bromelain is quite useful.
Why Turmeric?
Curcumin, an anti-inflammatory ingredient in turmeric, works great for your overall health condition, relieving pain. Curcumic is responsible for blocking the red blood vessels from enlarging and blocking the excessive production of the protein.
Why Ginger Root?
The ginger root is composed of gingerols, which are active ingredients, related to capsaicin. They are more or less similar to capsaicin on a molecular level, which means that they lessen the enzymes which cause inflammation in the body.
Why Tart Cherry Root?
Studies have shown that cherries lower the level of uric acid in the blood, which means that you will stay away from risk and also lessen the chances to get a gout attack.
To prepare the recipe that contains the above given ingredients and will help with gout, you will need:
  • 1-2 teaspoons of turmeric powder
  • 1 cup of tart cherry juice
  • Honey(optional)
  • 1 pineapple
  • 2-3 teaspoons of powdered ginger, or 1 inch off of a fresh ginger root
  • Blender or food processor
  • Strainer
  • A glass container with a tight lid
Directions:
You should cut the stem, and the skin of the pineapple. You can choose whether to use the stem or not, and chop the content into pieces.
You should have in mind that the stem has high concentration of bromein, but it is up to you to choose.
Put all the ingredients, except for the honey, in a blender and mix them until you get a homogenous texture.
Store it in the glass container and keep it refrigerated. For those of you, who would like a sweeter taste just add honey, or lessen the amount of ginger and turmeric, if you dislike their taste.
The drink will last for a month if you keep it in the refrigerator, and should be drank on regular basis for prevention or in a large amount in cases of gout attack, as a cure.
