(NaturalNews) Mainstream health experts have estimated that up to 40% of all cancer could be prevented with more immunizations against diseases that increase cancer risks and with healthy changes in diet and lifestyle. Many natural health experts believe that the figure could be closer to 90% and could be achieved without the widespread immunizations called for by mainstream medicine - immunizations are themselves risk factors for cancer.

Toxins and illness, especially viral illnesses, often result in prolonged inflammation that leads to a cellular defensive response that ends up resulting in cancer. Exposure to various forms of radiation can also lead to cancer. Avoiding those causes of cancer and taking measures to prevent them from causing cancer are the keys to preventing cancer. The immune system is our natural first line against cancer and illness, including illness that leads to cancer. In order for any illness to gain a foothold, it must first defeat the immune system. Consequently, it would appear obvious that building and maintaining a healthy and robust immune system would be an essential first step in avoiding cancer. Avoiding the toxins in our air, water and food supply is a second essential for avoiding cancer and a third one is avoiding radiation.

In order to build a healthy immune system and avoid cancer causes, one should first build a healthy foundation. Keys to building a healthy foundation are replacing bad health habits such as smoking and a sedentary lifestyle with good ones and making sure that one gets all the nutrition needed for optimum health. For many of us, that means changing our diet from the unhealthy SAD diet of most Americans to one that exchanges the junk food and harmful processed food to a diet that includes mostly raw and mostly organic vegetables and fruits, as well as healthy seeds. The healthiest includes plenty of omega-3s, adequate iodine and other essentials, a minimum of processed and GMO foods, and modest portions of meat. Meat should either be cold water fish or small portions of organic free range meats that have not been subjected to feed lot practices; feedlot meats are likely to contain antibiotics and growth hormones that may promote cancer. Processed meats are the unhealthiest of all.

It is virtually impossible to get even the minimum RDA of all essential nutrients from diet alone, much less the optimum daily amounts needed for the best health. Sadly, most of us are deficient in multiple nutrients thanks not only to our diets but also to our over-farmed soils, cold storage produce and foods on our grocers' shelves that have had much of the nutrition processed out. Therefore, supplementation with specific nutrients, a good whole foods derived nutrient combination, and/or a good superfoods powder may be necessary to help achieve optimum health and immune systems.

Other key considerations for building a healthy foundation include living an active lifestyle, getting plenty of life giving sunshine and elimination of all pesticides, herbicides, and other common household chemicals not found in nature.

The above suggestions will go a long way towards avoiding cancer. Others, such as those who have a family history of cancer and those who have had a viral illness or other disease associated with higher cancer risk, may want to go even farther.

In the concluding part of this series, we will take a look at extra measures people can take to give them the maximum protection against cancer and at why immunizations may not be the answer we've been told to believe..

While most people can greatly reduce their chances of getting cancer with healthy changes in diet and lifestyle, others with higher cancer risk factors may wish to take additional steps to have the maximum chances. People at higher risk include those who have had cancer before, those with a family history of cancer, people who have been exposed to viral and bacterial infections associated with cancer and those who have been exposed to cancer causing toxins such as asbestos, pesticides and heavy metals.

People who have had cancer before are statistically at much higher risk of either having the same cancer return or else acquiring another form of cancer. Those who have families with a history of cancer may be genetically predisposed to have a higher risk of getting the same cancers themselves. Likewise, similar family diets and lifestyles may play a contributing role to cancers being more prevalent in families with a history of cancer.

One area that can provide greater cancer protection is diet. Eating a healthy diet includes extra portions of some of the best natural cancer fighting foods, such as dark grapes (which contain known resveratrol), nuts such as raw almonds and walnuts, and cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower. People with concerns about colorectal cancers should include sources of extra fiber, such as apples - which also help prevent breast cancer. Green tea and medicinal mushrooms have also been shown to be particularly effective against breast cancer.

Another important area to consider is supplementation. Supplements which boost the immune system are especially important, since cancer must first defeat the immune system to gain a foothold in the first place. Some of the best immune boosters are: oleander, echinacea, pau d'arco, suma, astralagus and the medicinal mushrooms. People who have been exposed to viruses may also want to consider natural anti-virals, such as garlic, olive leaf extract and oil of wild mountain oregano.

Some supplements have been associated with both general cancer protection as well as protection against specific forms of cancer. Examples include the aforementioned oleander, digestive enzymes and blackseed oil (Nigella sativa), which have all been shown to be effective against deadly pancreatic cancer. Vitamin D3 has been shown to be especially effective against breast cancer, colorectal cancers and skin cancers (despite the health scares about sunlight). Iodine has likewise been shown to protect against breast cancer, especially when combined with its important co-factor selenium (the best form against cancer is methylselenocysteine).

Curcumin protects against a wide range of cancers including lung and colorectal cancers. Studies have found that curcumin is especially beneficial for those who have a history of smoking. Of course, that is no excuse to continue smoking as smoking is one of the highest of all risk factors for cancer.

Mainstream medicine recommends more immunizations to decrease cancers; however, cancers that are believed to be due to viral infections are much higher in developing countries (26% compared to 8% in developed countries). Besides lack of immunizations, such countries are also marked by poverty and by a lack of sanitation and potable water and of access to healthcare and nutrition. Many believe that improving those areas would have a much greater positive impact than increasing immunizations as has been the case in the higher income developed countries.

Vaccines themselves may lead to many cancers. There has been a dearth of studies on vaccination safety. What is known is that vaccinations contain a number of known and suspected carcinogens and other mutagens that are known to cause abnormal cell development.

Going natural is likely the best and safest route.
