Improving immunity in oncological diseases. Immunity in oncology - how does the disease affect human health? Cancer treatment immunity

Cancer of any localization is a tissue of rapidly dividing immature cells with a failed mechanism of cell death and the ability to secrete hormone-like substances. Thanks to them, the defense takes it for an endocrine gland, and the tumor grows into a stroma - a network of additional blood and lymphatic pathways. Immunity in oncology does not work properly by itself - it is deceived by cancer. But a few decades before that, he "missed" several abnormal cells that became his basis.

Oncology and immunity: how are they interconnected?

The thymus gland and bone marrow synthesize lymphocytes. Leukocytes and other defense factors prey on infectious agents and are transported to target tissues in the blood. And lymphocytes are almost not "interested" in bacteria and. Their task is to find and destroy the body's own cells with abnormalities. They “travel” through the body mainly with lymph flow and are responsible for the timely “screening out” of malignant cells.

In addition to the lymphocytic insufficiency that triggered its growth, tumor development is accelerated by further suppression of the defense for several reasons.

A continuously growing tumor "eats" food for the patient. The rest of the organs do not have resources to work or update. Among them is the bone marrow, which produces the main percentage of immune bodies / proteins.
Cancer of any location, including disseminated neoplasms such as myeloma, lymphoma, and leukemia, produces substances similar to normal hormones. They stimulate the growth of the stroma and deceive the defense agents, passing off the malignant process as the work of the endocrine gland. Plus, they inhibit the activity of immune proteins/bodies, protecting cancer from their "assaults".
At a certain point, the capacity of the stroma to provide the tumor with blood becomes insufficient, and a focus of necrosis appears in its center. Separate cells come off with it from the main tissue and are carried with the blood flow to other organs. This process is called distant metastasis (near metastasis occurs first, and always to the nearest lymph node - to start the growth of the stroma). They can appear anywhere, but most often where it is easier for them to "linger" and "settle" - in organs richly supplied with blood. And this group includes almost all the organs on which the work of immunity depends - the liver, spleen, bone marrow, kidneys.

As a result, the body's resistance decreases, the patient loses weight due to a total nutritional deficiency. Anemia also progresses in him, since the decay center “creeping” in different directions leads to constant small blood loss. And the bone marrow has nothing to produce new components of blood/plasma.

How to support the defenses of a sick person?

Without stopping the most malignant process in oncology, it is still impossible. But it is necessary given the importance of lymphocytic protection in the fight against tumors. The optimal solution here is to combine measures to maintain immunity with a hospital or plant one (carried out with the help of poisonous ones).

Medicines and dietary supplements

Among the pharmaceutical drugs of choice for cancer, there can only be sources of ready-made resistance agents. It is useless here to "adjust" the production of your own bone marrow. He has nothing to synthesize them from, plus, he is already working for wear and tear, compensating for constant blood loss.

"Viferon" in the form of rectal suppositories or injection solution and "Nazoferon" - nasal-oral spray. Both contain interferons - antiviral proteins. They are not seen in antitumor activity, but they help not to pick up if. When swallowed in form, they share the fate of other proteins - they are broken down by the stomach. Hence the desirability of their introduction in "roundabout" ways - into the blood, locally, into the lower intestines.
"Kipferon" is the only universal (although not the only one with such a base) with immunoglobulins - antibacterial and antiviral proteins that develop immunity even to malignant cells and the pseudohormones they produce. In "tandem" with them, lymphocytes work. In addition to immunoglobulins, Kipferon also contains interferons. It is also available in the form of rectal-vaginal suppositories.

Of the variety for use in cancer, "Timogen", "Timalin", shark cartilage are shown. These drugs are of different origin. The first 2 are bovine thymus extracts. They do not contain lymphocytes, but everything necessary to improve their synthesis is yes. Shark cartilage is rich in the amino acids arginine and tryptophan, which stimulate growth and accelerate the maturation of lymphocytes in the thymus.

Colostrum extract "Colostrum", "Actovegin", deer antlers will require the impossible from an already worn out bone marrow. with oncology, they are unlikely to succeed. But they are able to increase the permeability of the membranes of healthy cells for a chemotherapy drug, which will lead to excessive poisoning with it and death.

Folk remedies

Alternative medicine believes that if periwinkle, hemlock, calamus and aconite show themselves better as drugs against cancer in adults, then badger fat with cocoa is more suitable for children /. In fact, only poisonous plants help against cancer, and everything else is nothing more than giving strength. The toxicity of anti-cancer herbs is due to high concentrations of alkaloids with a cytostatic (stopping cell division) or cytotoxic (destroying them) effect.

Alkaloids, like phytoncides, bioflavonoids, tannins, are plant antibiotics and antioxidants. They help, if not to raise immunity in oncology, then help him where he can’t cope. And they are definitely poisonous to the tumor, which consumes them with great appetite, becoming a victim of its own "gluttony". Among open plants with cytostatic or cytotoxic action:

pink periwinkle - with rosevin, vinblastine and vincristine;
colchicum pink - with colhamine and colchicine;
Baikal skullcap - with aconitine.

In herbal cancer chemotherapy, wild rosemary, calamus, and hemlock are also used. The methods of their preparation may be different, but there is one universally suitable for them all. You need to take a glass container of any volume, with an airtight lid, fill it 2/3 with broken parts of a fresh or dry plant, pour the rest of the volume with vodka. After 2 weeks of infusion in a dark, warm place, the remedy is filtered and taken:

daily;
starting with 2-3 drops per day (in one or more doses - if desired);
dissolved in drinking water;
before eating;
increasing the daily dose by 1 drop every day;
until a daily dose of 40 drops is reached.

From this mark, healers are advised to start lowering the dose drop by drop per day to the “starting”, but the oncologist would suggest “delaying” the maximum dose for up to 2 weeks (according to well-being). And the cancellation can be done in any convenient way - even immediately. It is better to take a break from treatment for the next month, and then conduct another course on a plant with an alternative set of cytostatics.

To work with toxic plants, you need to wear gloves and a respirator. Their spirits should be carefully hidden from children and drinking family members (if any). Strained cake must not be disposed of where it can be touched or tasted by children/pets. The indicated dosages cannot be exceeded, but it can and should be reduced by 1-2 in case of severe intoxication (if necessary, cancel the course).

During and after drug / plant "chemistry" should be complete - primarily in proteins, fats and carbohydrates (the main building material for new cells). Raising immunity in oncology also requires taking soluble complexes. Suitable "Doppel hertz from A to zinc" or "Supradin". (“Vitrum”, “Alfavit”, “Centrum”) are more complete in composition, but undesirable due to the digestion and metabolism worsened by cancer treatment.

Prevention

Decreased resistance in cancer is inevitable starting from stage 3. And it can be prevented by maintaining normal lymphocytic immunity. This requires less x-ray exposure to the chest (including the good intention of checking for lungs or breast cancer), since the thymus is located opposite the lungs, behind the sternum. And do not forget about taking the substances necessary for him and the lymphocytes:

arginine;
tryptophan;
vitamin E;
Selena;
vitamin A.

This article will give you a brief understanding causes of decreased immunity. timely pay attention to signs of immunodeficiency and finally understand what we can do to strengthen immunity .

The mechanisms of immune defense are so complex that some questions are not yet completely clear even for scientists. Simply put, immunity is a protective reaction of the body aimed at neutralizing, deactivating or compensating for any damaging factors, be it fungi, bacteria, viruses or radiation.

The well-coordinated work of the immune system is not only protection against banal acute respiratory infections and influenza, it is the only reliable protection of the body against cancer. Cancer is called the "disease of the genes". "epidemic of modern times". sparing neither children, nor people in the prime of life, nor the elderly. According to the disappointing forecasts of CRUK (an organization engaged in cancer research; UK), over the next 15 years every second person on the planet will be diagnosed with cancer. The main reason, according to researchers, is that due to many factors of modernity, life expectancy has increased significantly. There is a fly in the ointment in a barrel of honey of the benefits of civilization - the likelihood of developing cancer with age increases significantly. Gastrointestinal, prostate and melanoma cancers are expected to rise. But the chances of curing cancer in the next 15 years will also increase significantly, thanks to timely diagnosis and the hope of developing new effective drugs for the treatment of cancer.

It is reliably known that a clinically malignant tumor manifests itself only after the mechanisms of the immune response are violated: the defense mechanisms cease to respond adequately and destroy the cancer cells that form daily in our body. But the diagnosis of "cancer" today is no longer synonymous with death, and not only thanks to timely diagnosis and effective medicines. Many people, albeit belatedly, but consciously turn to a healthy lifestyle - they become physically active, try to think positively and choose healthy foods, winning life from the disease.

Yes, and the right lifestyle does not exclude the development of cancer, given the multifactorial causes of development (genetic predisposition, features of the hormonal system and immune responses), but SIGNIFICANTLY reduces the risk of getting cancer. Some chemical carcinogens can also be formed within the body itself during various metabolic reactions, so the possibility of tumor transformation of the cell cannot be theoretically excluded even if all possible carcinogens are eliminated from the environment. Therefore, among the oncological risks, the greatest attention should be paid to the state of immunity, so that the emerging cancer cells are destroyed by a healthy immune system, without having time to develop into a global tumor process.

The immune system not only protects the body from infections and its own tumor cells, but also participates in the restoration of damaged cells of various organs and body systems. A decrease in the body's resistance can serve as a prerequisite for the development of non-communicable diseases. If the immune system is supported in a timely manner, then there is a high probability that the disease will stop progressing and recovery will occur. By supporting the immune forces of the body, we can influence any disease indirectly, therefore, it is necessary for EVERYONE to strengthen immunity, and not on a case-by-case basis, but constantly.

If you are curious and not intimidated by the terms, the following table provides a summary of how the immune system works:

Educational program on immunity. Basic concepts

Immunity is divided into innate (hereditary, species) and acquired.

innate immunity- immunity of certain species to pathogens affecting other species. For example, people are resistant to canine distemper, and animals in natural conditions do not get measles, scarlet fever, smallpox.

Terminpe acquired immunity speaks for itself: it is acquired as a result of an illness. Acquired immunity (artificial) occurs after vaccination. Acquired immunity is created as a result of the functioning of the central ( thymus (thymus), bone marrow) and peripheral ( spleen, lymph nodes, clusters of lymphocytes in different organs and tissues: the mucous membrane of the small intestine (Peyer's patches), tonsils, appendix) of the immune system. Lymphocytes are the most important cells responsible for the final implementation of immunological defense mechanisms.

In addition to the organs of the immune system, the effectiveness of acquired immunity is influenced by some cells, tissues and various mechanisms that provide non-specific body defense. A number of mechanical, physicochemical, biochemical mechanisms of nonspecific protection against infections can be distinguished:

Natural barriers made of skin and mucous membranes(increased acidity of sweat and gastric juice serves as an obstacle to the penetration of microbes into the body)

Saliva, tears, blood, macrophages and neutrophils contain lysozyme. destroying the membranes of bacteria

- hyaluronic acid- the most important structural component of the intercellular matrix, inhibits the spread of microbes

Interferons are low molecular weight proteins that prevent the virus from infecting other cells and are even able to keep bacteria from multiplying; interferon is produced by leukocytes and dendritic cells, fibroblasts and T-lymphocytes. Interferons have a variety of activities - antiviral, antiproliferative, antitumor, radioprotective.

Phagocytosis is the most important factor in nonspecific cell resistance; phagocytes capture and destroy microbes

Defensins - arginine-rich peptides that destroy microorganisms

After activation by immune complexes, platelets synthesize and secrete biologically active substances (lysozyme, histamine, β-lysines, prostaglandins)

With a decrease in immunity, the body does not react actively enough to infections and other foreign agents, but there is also an opposite condition - overreaction from the immune system (hyperactivity). An inadequate immune response results in autoimmune diseases(rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, myasthenia, etc.) and various allergic reactions(allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, bronchial asthma, etc.). Immunity, in fact, becomes the enemy of its own body, and destroys its own tissues. The causes of autoimmune diseases have not yet been fully understood, but it is believed that exposure to toxic organic substances, lead salts, infections (measles, hepatitis B viruses, retroviruses, streptococci, staphylococci) can be of no small importance.

The reasons reduced immunity

immune defense is reduced in winter and spring

pregnancy (for the mother's immune system, the fetus is alien, because it has half of the paternal chromosomes; so that rejection does not occur, a natural mechanism is triggered that suppresses the activity of the mother's immune system and reduces immunological reactions)

old age (with age, the body's immune system increasingly fails)

critical periods of the state of immunity during the active growth of children (newborn period, 3-6 months, 2 years, 4-6 years, adolescence)

genetic causes (primary or congenital immune deficiencies); significant family history of deaths at an early age due to infections or known immunodeficiency

prolonged stressful situations

sleep disturbances, overwork, chronic fatigue

irrational nutrition (especially with a deficiency of protein and zinc; plus the body is forced to constantly get rid of the toxins of "junk" food)

metabolic disorders, prolonged fasting

chronic diseases (diabetes mellitus, renal failure, nephrotic syndrome, enteropathy, sarcoidosis)

illiterate use of drugs, especially antibiotics, hormonal drugs, tranquilizers (sedatives reduce anxiety by "deceiving" the body, and thereby lead to an imbalance in the mechanisms of protection against stress, which, in turn, reduces immune defense)

any surgical interventions (including blood transfusions)

chemotherapy and radiation therapy

artificial suppression of immunity (immunosuppression; used in the treatment of autoimmune diseases, organ and tissue transplantation)

radiation, radiation sickness

unfavorable environmental conditions, work in hazardous industries (xenobiotics create a constant burden on the immune system, which leads to its depletion)

bad habits = conscious intoxication of the body (smoking, alcoholism, drug addiction, substance abuse)

insufficient physical activity

I especially want to emphasize that with prolonged use, almost ANY drugs can cause a weakening of the immune system, so if you are constantly taking any medications, you should take care to strengthen your immunity doubly.

Determine how seriously you should be concerned about the state of your immunity.

I just want to warn you: even a doctor cannot judge the presence or absence of immunodeficiency without a laboratory blood test (immunogram)!

signs reduced immunity :

Frequent colds (preschoolers - 9 or more times a year, schoolchildren - 5-6 times, adults - 3-4)

The transition of acute inflammatory diseases into chronic, frequent relapses, complications

Sinusitis more than twice a year

Pneumonia more than twice a year

More than two severe infectious processes in history (sepsis, osteomyelitis, meningitis, etc.)

Repeated severe purulent processes (boils, pyoderma)

Enlarged lymph nodes and spleen

Persistent candidiasis (thrush)

Frequent relapses of herpes (more than 4 times per year)

Chronic infectious diseases (chronic pyelonephritis, chronic cystitis, etc.)

Lack of effect from long-term antibiotic therapy

Infections caused by opportunistic pathogens (Proteus, Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Clostridium, Mycobacterium, Candida, etc.)

immunosuppression. or immunodeficiency - a state of suppression of immunity, a violation of the body's immune response to foreign viruses and its own degenerating cells.

Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor, Phytotherapist Aleksey Fedorovich Sinyakov in his book "Life without Cancer" describes another hypothetical sign of reduced immunity:

"There is an assumption that long-term decrease in body temperature(normal limits 36-36.9 ° С), no inflammatory processes or quick relief of them with antipyretics are prerequisites for the development of cancer. With mild forms of acute respiratory diseases, influenza, etc., one should not rush to lower the temperature by taking antipyretics, but allow the body to overcome the disease on its own, because having defeated it, it strengthens its immune system.

Even if we consider Sinyakov's postulate as controversial, take note: fever remedies DO NOT cure, especially for children - antipyretics only relieve the parents' fear, while at the same time striking the liver, kidneys and circulatory system. For a child, temperatures up to 40 degrees are absolutely safe if diagnosis of SARS or the flu is established by the DOCTOR. There are many dangerous infections accompanied by fever, but in this case, your child will already be treated in the hospital - including antibiotics. Viral infections (SARS, influenza) and bronchitis are NOT treated with antibiotics. Antibiotics are used only in conditions that threaten LIFE (with bacterial pneumonia, for example)! Precisely because now many parents "prescribe" antibiotics to their children on their own, viruses mutate. The more people will take antibiotics, the faster these processes will go. And, worst of all, if suddenly the use of antibiotics is actually urgently needed, then they may be powerless against infection. This path leads to a dead end. Proper nutrition, walking in any weather or hardening and physical activity work wonders - the child will get sick much less often, try it!

Despite the many factors that weaken the immune system of our body, it is possible to ensure its normal functioning at any age. How can you strengthen your immunity?

The famous Sears family of pediatricians claims that it is quite simple to do this: it is enough to properly “feed” the immune system! The conclusions were based on many years of observation of little patients: "correct" mothers, who did not give their children "junk" food, brought their children to the reception extremely rarely. And even if their children got sick, they recovered much faster than those who regularly consumed harmful foods. Rational nutrition is one of the many ways to keep your immune system fully armed.

13 simple s ways to boost immunity:

- get rid of bad habits- they weaken the activity of the immune system;

As far as possible, protect yourself from harmful influences and xenobiotic substances. industrial pollution, pesticides, household chemicals, minimize the use of drugs; if you cannot eliminate any dangerous factor, take courses, after consulting with your doctor, enterosorbents (for example, enterosgel or vegetable sorbents);

Optimal physical exercise- a proven way to strengthen weakened immunity (any pleasant and feasible activities - morning exercises, jogging, fitness, dancing, swimming);

- daily walks in the fresh air they enrich the blood with oxygen, tone up, relieve emotional stress; the sun's rays contribute to the production of anti-cancer vitamin D in the skin;

- hardening procedures help strengthen the body, stimulate blood circulation, increase the stability of the nervous system;

General massage courses help to increase immunity; acupressure - an effective help of immunity during acute respiratory infections;

Preventive and therapeutic aromatherapy helps the body cope with infections, because. many essential oils have pronounced antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties;

Use antioxidants and herbal adaptogens(eleutherococcus, ginseng, etc.); consult a physiotherapist- these medicinal plants have a number of contraindications;

Try to go to balanced diet no semi-finished products antimutagenic diets(for example, did you know that parsley is effective in preventing certain types of cancer?); include in the diet foods that help strengthen the immune system - broccoli. carrot. pumpkin. zucchini. parsley. dill. celery. citrus. dairy products. salmon and turkey;

Accept vitamin and mineral complexes in the winter-spring period: vitamin C will help maintain immunity and speed up the process of recovery from illness, although it is not a panacea;

Follow stool regularity. the body needs to get rid of bacteria and toxins in a timely manner, otherwise your immunity will be busy with detox;

- avoid stress- the work of the immune system is closely related to the nervous system; As we already know, stress significantly weakens the immune system.

I foresee that some readers will be disappointed: almost all of these tips for strengthening immunity are familiar to us from childhood.

It is important that you realize that there is no pill that will save you from all diseases, but by changing your lifestyle, you can significantly improve its quality, even if you are seriously ill.

Note: drugs to stimulate the immune system are used ONLY in the concomitant treatment of existing diseases, and NOT for their prevention. Even if you see the line in the instructions for the drug: "Used for the prevention of n-th diseases." - a healthy person does not need immunostimulants (including herbal ones, for example, echinacea)! The pharmacist will offer you a wide range of over-the-counter “immunity” drugs, but do not rush to use it without consulting your doctor: Immunostimulants can cause serious damage to the body if used incorrectly.. especially in children.

So you want to fill your life with the joy of communication, interesting travels, devote yourself to your favorite business, be loved and give love, and not fight diseases. Or are you satisfied with life on the principle of an ostrich - head in the sand, and there are no problems? Take care of your health now, and your healthy immune system will be the key to a long and fulfilling life.

Immune cells are guardians that protect our body from the encroachments of various bacteria, viruses, fungi. But when a person is attacked with such a serious adversary as oncology, then even the strongest guard dies under his influence. Most cancer patients in search of salvation from the disease have to undergo chemotherapy.

The introduction of drugs contributes to the destruction of cancer cells, but, unfortunately, along with malignant ones, healthy ones also die.

From this, the body becomes very weak, side effects of chemotherapy appear: baldness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomatitis, cystitis, frequent muscle and bone pains, exacerbation of chronic diseases is observed, and blood composition is disturbed. The person becomes susceptible to any infections. Therefore, it is very important to “revive” immunity.

Depending on the oncological pathology, as well as the consequences of chemotherapy, the oncologist will prescribe immunomodulatory drugs that will help increase the body's defenses. Only a doctor will select the most effective medicine. It is also worth discussing the intake of medicinal herbs and nutrition with him.

Our ancestors liked to repeat that all life force comes from nature. In the natural storehouse there are many medicinal herbs that help to successfully overcome the rehabilitation period.

To restore blood

One of the most important tasks after chemotherapy is to normalize the composition of the blood. Tinctures of sweet clover, Manchurian aralia, pink radiola, and eleutherococcus senticosus can help with this. These adaptogens can be purchased at the pharmacy, or you can make your own.

Aralia Manchurian tincture

Aralia 20 g
Alcohol 100 ml

Pour 20 grams of aralia roots with 100 ml of 7% alcohol. Infuse for two weeks, and then take 30-40 drops three times a day with meals. Treatment is carried out in courses of 20 days. Be sure to consult a doctor!

Eleutherococcus senticosus tincture

Vodka 2 tbsp.
Eleutherococcus root 100 g

You will need to pour 100 grams of plant roots with two glasses of vodka. Leave for 14 days, shaking occasionally. After that, the tincture is filtered and taken 20-25 drops before meals three times a day.

Radiola rosea tincture

Radiola 100 g
Vodka 400 g

Pour 100 grams of pink radiola with 400 grams of vodka and leave in a dark place to infuse for 7 days. After that, strain and take 15 drops three times a day 15 minutes before meals.

To restore red cells, you need to drink decoctions of nettle, yarrow, angelica, rose hips, and to cleanse the blood of toxins - a decoction of flaxseeds.

Rosehip decoction

Rose hips 150 g
Water 2 l

Grind 150 grams of fruit and fill them with 2 liters of water. Boil for 10-20 minutes on low heat, and you need to insist for 12 hours. It can be drunk instead of tea.

Flax decoction

Flax seeds 2 tbsp
Water 2 l

Pour 2 tablespoons of seeds with hot water and cook in a steam bath. You need to drink 1 liter of decoction per day. The course of admission is six months.

To increase the number of leukocytes and erythrocytes, grind dry nettle leaves and mix them with honey in a 1:1 ratio. Take 1 tablespoon three times a day.

The lungwort, which thins the blood, has an excellent effect on the blood formula, as well as wormwood and meadowsweet.

To restore the digestive organs

The liver is the filter through which everything in the body passes. She especially suffers under the influence of anti-cancer drugs, is affected by toxins. To bring them out, it is necessary to use decoctions from the inflorescences of immortelle and milk thistle. But plantain normalizes the motor and secretory processes of the digestive tract.

Very useful not only for the gastrointestinal tract, but in general for the whole organism will be aloe.

Aloe is able to stop the spread of metastases.

Grind aloe leaves in a blender or in a meat grinder, squeeze out the juice, combine with vodka in a ratio of 1:8. It is necessary to take the medicine before meals, 1 tsp. three times a day.

With general intoxication of the body

We have mentioned many times that drugs that kill cancer cells are very toxic. To "pacify" the symptoms of intoxication (headaches, nausea, vomiting, high fever), you need to drink plenty of fluids. Decoctions of birch fungus, horsetail, rose hips and mountain ash, wheatgrass will be useful.

Cranberry and lingonberry fruit drinks do well with nausea.

Hair

Hair loss is a consequence of chemotherapy. But know that the hairline will definitely return.

To do this, actively stimulate the scalp: rub decoctions of nettle, hops, burdock root, and burdock oil.

Diet

After taking anti-cancer drugs, it is very important to follow a special diet.

It is worth eating salmon caviar, egg yolks, buckwheat porridge (without milk).

To increase the number of leukocytes in the diet, white fish, liver, lean red meat, and poultry should be present.

You need to eat fresh fruits and drink juices from them. The most preferred are apple, pomegranate juices, as well as red grape wine.

To improve blood hemoglobin, you should eat 100 grams of fresh grated carrots seasoned with sour cream or honey for breakfast.
Doctors also recommend fighting nausea with lemon or tomato juice.

But from canned foods, as well as hot spices and alcohol, it is better to completely refuse. For the rehabilitation period, it will be useful to abandon animal fats, replacing them with vegetable oils.

Since the protective barrier is broken after chemotherapy, the body is very vulnerable, which means that any infection can cause serious complications.

Temporarily, you should not visit places with a large number of people, just as you should not host many guests.

Your body needs to learn how to protect itself from various microbes, viruses or bacteria.

The human immune system functions by influencing foreign antibodies that have entered the body. During periods of weakened protection of the internal environment, resistance to pathogens is reduced, which greatly increases the risk of developing serious diseases. Among these diseases, oncological ones stand out, in the process of development of which the functioning of internal organs and human immunity is disrupted. Therefore, in the period of oncology, it is important to pay special attention to ways to increase immunity.

Cough is a non-specific defensive reaction of the body. Its main function is to clear the respiratory tract from sputum, dust or a foreign object.

For its treatment, a natural preparation "Immunity" was developed in Russia, which is successfully used today. It is positioned as a drug to increase immunity, but relieves cough by 100%. The presented drug is a composition of a unique synthesis of thick, liquid substances and medicinal herbs, which helps to increase the activity of immune cells without disturbing the biochemical reactions of the body.

The cause of the cough is not important, whether it is a seasonal cold, swine flu, pandemic, elephant flu, no flu at all - it does not matter. An important factor is that it is a virus that affects the respiratory system. And "Immunity" copes with this best of all and is absolutely harmless!

How to boost immunity in oncology?

Immunity and oncology are inextricably linked, since the development of cancer has a significant impact on the immune defense of a person. Weakened resistance to viruses and bacteria reduces the chances of a person recovering. Therefore, during the development of oncology, it is important to pay attention to activities that will help boost immunity for cancer treatment.

The following methods will help to raise immunity in oncology:

The introduction of injections containing weakened tumor cells. The vaccine stimulates the antibodies of the internal environment to resist in the fight against oncology and helps to boost immunity;
The use of protein elements - cytokines - will help to raise resistance in the fight against cancer. The use of protein-based medicines contributes to the normalization of the work of the cells of the internal environment;
Treatment of oncological disease through the use of cellular elements of the TIL type. Antibodies are also extracted from the human body, processed in the laboratory and introduced into the internal environment. The use of this method helps in the treatment of oncology and the restoration of immunity after treatment to prevent relapse;
The use of cellular elements of type T. Cells prevent the development of cancer;
It is possible to raise immunity in oncology through the use of drugs to remove toxic substances;
Compliance with the regime of the day - the alternation of time of activity, rest and healthy full sleep;
Raise immunity in cancer will help daily walks in the fresh air;
In addition to the presented ways to influence the increase in the immune defense of the body, adherence to a proper diet and the use of vitamins will help. You can also raise immunity in oncology through the use of folk remedies.

Increasing folk remedies

Measures aimed at strengthening the protective functions of the body are of paramount importance in the process of oncology treatment. To speed up the recovery of a person and raise immunity, it is necessary to act on the basis of an integrated approach. The traditional method of treatment with drugs must be supplemented with folk remedies to increase immunity in oncology.

The use of medicinal herbs helps to raise immunity in oncology. In medicine, this method of treatment is called - phytotherapy.

Herbs useful in the treatment of cancer:

Liquorice root- has an antitumor effect, stopping the development of cancer. The use of a medicinal plant allows you to raise immunity and save the internal environment of the human body from toxic effects;
ginger root- the use of ginger as a component in folk remedies to strengthen the immune defense, allows you to increase the resistance of a person and prevent the influence of malignant substances on the treatment process. The medicinal root is used to prepare a tea drink, vitamin mixture and decoctions;
Ginseng- Regular use of ginseng at home allows you to raise the immune defense of a person and reduces the risk of developing cancer. The root of the medicinal plant is used in the form of decoctions, tinctures;
echinacea- the beneficial properties of the component have a beneficial effect on the general condition of the body. Echinacea is used not only for the prevention of diseases in adults and children, but is also used in oncology to boost immunity.

In addition to the indicated medicinal herbs, Eleutherococcus, Chicory root, Rosemary, Chamomile, Propolis, Calendula, Immortelle, Rhodiola rosea, Aralia, Tansy will help to raise the immune defense of a person during the period of oncology treatment.

Useful recipes for strengthening the immune system in oncological diseases:

Ginger root can be taken as a tea. To prepare a tea drink, chopped ginger is brewed with boiling water and infused for 20-30 minutes. Lemon and honey can be added to a warm drink.

Ginger tea for immunity in oncology

A recipe for a decoction of echinacea helps to raise immunity in oncology. 200 grams of the root of the plant are crushed and poured with hot water for forty minutes. Before use, the liquid is filtered and consumed in a tablespoon three times a day.

Echinacea decoction to strengthen the immune system in oncological diseases

Honey tincture with ginseng- liquid honey (if necessary, it is melted in a water bath) is mixed with crushed ginseng until a homogeneous mass is formed. The mixture is infused in a cold dark place for 14 days. It is recommended to use a vitamin mixture 2-3 times a day for a teaspoon.

Ginseng for strengthening immunity in the treatment of cancer

Tincture of celandine for oncology- to prepare a folk remedy, you will need three tablespoons of dried herbs, which are poured with hot water (1 liter) and infused for at least 12 hours. To boost immunity in cancer, the tincture is used three times a day before meals.

Celandine to strengthen the immune system

When children fall ill with ARVI or the flu, they are treated mainly with antibiotics to reduce fever or various cough syrups, as well as in other ways. However, drug treatment often has a very detrimental effect on a child's body that has not yet become stronger.

It is possible to cure children from the presented ailments with the help of Immunity drops for immunity. It kills viruses in 2 days and eliminates the secondary signs of influenza and ODS. And in 5 days it removes toxins from the body, reducing the period of rehabilitation after an illness.

Before using medicinal herbs and plants to strengthen the protective functions of the body in cancer, you need to read the recommendations for use. The use of folk remedies in the presence of contraindications or allergic reactions negatively affects the process of oncology treatment.

Healthy food

In addition to the medical method of treatment, as well as treatment with medicinal herbs, it is possible to raise immunity in oncology by following a proper and balanced diet.

Products that increase immunity in oncology:

Beet- has beneficial properties for the body, influencing the process of treating cancer. You can consume the product in the form of juice or by adding it to a salad;
Broccoli- allows you to prevent the development of oncology and increase immunity due to the sulforaphane present in the composition. It is recommended to use fresh or with minimal heat treatment;
Green tea- the use of a tea drink contributes to the entry into the internal environment of the human body of polyphenols that affect the development of cancer;
Onion and garlic- the use of products in the daily diet helps to boost immunity and prevent the appearance of carcinogens that affect the formation of oncology;
Red peppers and tomatoes- the substances contained in these products control the level of cellular elements that provoke the development of cancer.

In addition to the presented food products, the following will help to raise immunity in oncology: nuts, seeds (pumpkin, sunflower), olive oil, seafood fortified with Omega 3, eggs, dairy products, raspberries, cranberries, citrus fruits, blueberries, turmeric, grapefruit, avocados, legumes, honey.

Do not use if you have cancer sugar, salt, alcoholic beverages and it is necessary to limit the intake of meat products.

Immune Boosting Drugs

Oncological diseases are characterized by a negative effect on the immune defense of the body. In the process of treatment, it is important to pay attention to the need to strengthen the protective functions of the body through the use of drugs and vitamin supplements.

When choosing vitamins to strengthen immune defense, you need to pay attention to the composition of the vitamin complex:

Selenium- stimulates the action of lymphocytes, which helps to counteract oncology during the development of the disease;
Zinc- participates in the process of producing lymphocytes, which allows you to raise immunity;
Iron- takes part in the formation of the body's cellular immune defense;
Folic acid- contributes to the formation of stability of the internal environment and influences the creation of protection against oncological diseases;
Vitamin E- takes part in the production of antibodies that prevent the development of cancer;
Magnesium- The use of vitamin supplements with magnesium content helps prevent the development of cancer and has an impact on the healing process.

To raise the immune defense of the body will help drugs that increase immunity in adults with oncology. Among the good medicines are:

Ginseng tincture- the use of the drug favorably affects the general state of health. Its use during the period of oncology treatment allows you to raise the immune system and helps in the recovery of the body after chemotherapy. The recommended course of treatment is three months.

Ginseng tincture to increase immune protection in oncology

Immunal- a medicinal product created on the basis of medicinal herbs. As part of Immunal, the presence of echinacea stands out, which helps to strengthen the human immune system.

Immunal for immunity

Derinat- the use of the drug stimulates the development of anti-oncological resistance of the internal environment. Promotes the removal of toxic substances.

Derinat in oncological diseases

IRS 19- belongs to the category of antiviral and immunomodulatory drugs. It activates the formation of macrophages involved in the recognition and elimination of foreign microorganisms. The use of IRS 19 helps to raise the immune resistance of the human body in oncology.

The immune system in oncology is susceptible to the influence of malignant elements, which has a negative impact on the state of health and human life. To boost immunity, it is important to follow recommendations that help strengthen protective functions.

One of the complications of the flu and the common cold is inflammation of the middle ear. Doctors often prescribe antibiotics to treat otitis media. However, it is recommended to use the drug "Immunity". This product was developed and clinically tested at the Research Institute of Medicinal Plants of the Academy of Medical Sciences. The results show that 86% of patients with acute otitis taking the drug got rid of the disease in 1 course of use.

Unfortunately, many people suffer from cancer. Cancer treatment is associated with difficult and painful procedures that undermine the already weakened immune system. In folk medicine, it is believed that herbs for immunity for adults with oncology are simply necessary. They act harmlessly for a weakened organism, restore its strength.

With oncological diseases, it is important not to lose faith and hope for recovery, especially since medical statistics show many cases of recovery from cancer. It is important to develop a vital interest in yourself and lead an active life, and healing herbs will help restore immunity.

Fees to improve immunity

To strengthen the immunity of a cancer patient, you can recommend the following medicinal fees:

Take three parts of wild rose, motherwort, horsetail and plantain. Add one part of oregano, half of Chernobyl, sage and buckthorn. Also put two parts of buckthorn and nettle and five parts of chamomile. Mix everything well. Brew two tablespoons of the mixture with three cups of boiling water. Let it brew and drink this infusion every time before eating in a small amount.
Another good collection to improve immunity: two parts of St. John's wort, plantain, calendula, chamomile and nettle, one part of yarrow, calamus, mint, trifoli and celandine, half of wormwood and tansy. Also, mix everything, take a couple of spoons of the collection and pour boiling water. Infuse and drink 100 g before meals.
In the same way, a collection of the following medicinal plants is prepared and taken: four parts of elderberry, mugwort and nettle, two parts of burdock root, blueberry leaves, dandelion leaves and flaxseed, one part of elecampane.
Another collection recipe to increase immunity: one part of tansy, oats and plantain, four parts of St. John's wort, two parts of yarrow, wild rose and motherwort and three parts of Chernobyl.

Collections of medicinal herbs must be alternated with each other, so that there is no habit of the same composition. You can change them, for example, every month.

Medicinal plants will help drug treatment, slow down the growth of the tumor, and also increase the body's resistance to the disease, reduce the manifestation of many symptoms of the disease. However, before starting herbal treatment, it is imperative to obtain the approval of a doctor for this.

Candles to boost immunity

How to increase immunity in oncology is of interest to everyone who has suffered this terrible disease, accompanied by courses of chemotherapy. "Chemistry" is a forced measure that is used in the complex treatment of a malignant tumor, in other words, in the treatment of cancer.

Chemotherapy is the introduction into the body of special medicines that destroy the genome of malignant cells, cancer cells. "Chemistry" is an auxiliary measure to surgery and radiation therapy, thanks to these measures, a person's life can be saved. But the drugs that are administered during chemotherapy are very toxic, they destroy not only cancer cells, but also other cells in the body. Completely suppress human immunity. All organs, circulatory system and bone marrow suffer. As a result, oncologists, defeating cancer, forget that it is necessary to quickly begin to increase immunity, strengthen all body systems.

What is the danger of reduced immunity after cancer

After chemotherapy is given, the patient becomes defenseless against any infection. Any microbes that enter the body before the "chemistry" and get on the skin, in the intestines, in the respiratory tract become incredibly dangerous. They can provoke the development of a disease that can lead to death, as the immune system is suppressed. Therefore, as soon as the cancer is stopped, it is necessary to set yourself up to restore the immune system. Cancer is now defeated. So you can't risk your life because of a minor infection, of course not. We need to recover and heal. The basis of treatment is as follows:

The recovery process of cells responsible for the production of antibodies. Leukocytes or white blood cells must be restored, as "chemistry" necessarily kills them.
The process of restoring vital organs and systems, it is imperative to raise and restore the liver, kidneys, lungs. These organs are responsible for cleansing the body and should work well. These organs remove toxic substances from the body, and if they do not work to their full potential, the patient will develop poisoning, which can subsequently lead to death.
Restoration of bowel functions. Toxins also accumulate in the intestines and can lead not only to the development of allergies, poisoning, but also to sepsis, which will cause death.

Improving the immune system in oncology

So, how to boost immunity in cancer? Phytopreparations proved to be excellent in restoring immunity. Nature is a strong helper and folk remedies help strengthen the immune system after suffering a terrible disease.

In addition to taking herbal remedies, it is necessary to establish a diet, follow a diet and lead a correct, healthy lifestyle. The specifics are as follows:

It is necessary to increase the protection of the human body. Echinacea, eleutherococcus, aralia will help with this. Phytopreparation "Saparal" has established itself as an excellent tool for activating the body's defenses and has been used for many decades.
Sweet clover flowers, chicory root are also useful as a decoction to increase the level of leukocytes in the blood. Euphorbia tincture is an excellent remedy for the restoration of leukocytes.
A decoction of immortelle, calendula and milk thistle will help restore the liver.
Buckthorn, fennel, dill will help to cope with constipation that occurs during this period.
Sabelnik and cloves will help if loose stools, diarrhea.
To cleanse the body of toxic substances will help such drugs as:

"White coal";
"Sorbex";
Enterosgel.

In addition to the above drugs, it is good to adhere to a balanced diet, a special diet.

Any fried and fatty foods should be excluded from the diet. From meat it is better to give preference to boiled rabbit meat, beef and chicken. Portions should not be bulky. Alcoholic beverages must be abandoned. Canned food, pickles and spicy food should not be eaten.

In addition to dietary restrictions, you should try not to visit crowded places. If you need to visit a doctor, be sure to use a gauze bandage.

You should try to protect yourself from overstrain, nervous experiences and stress, dress according to the weather, do not overcool, although it is recommended to walk, fresh air is shown to everyone.

It must be remembered that immunity is weakened for the following reasons:

frequent diets and unbalanced diet;
poor-quality, spoiled food;
poor quality water;
drinking small amounts of water;
bad ecology;
bad habits;
stress;
hypodynamia;
congenital pathologies.

The following drugs increase immunity:

Candles to boost immunity

Doctors very often correct immune defenses by prescribing rectal suppositories. In this form, drugs such as:

Viferon;
Kipferon;
Immuntil;
Anaferon.

These drugs are available for both children and adults. Candles to restore the immune system have practically no contraindications. The only exception is an allergy to the components of the drug. Candles have long been recognized as better drugs than, for example, tablets, since their absorption occurs in the intestines. They are completely absorbed, and the course of treatment can last even up to a year.

The basis of drugs is the substance interferon, which strengthens the body and protects against harmful agents.

Interferon reacts to the elimination of infection rapidly, faster than other immune forces. Most suppositories also include vitamins C, E, which are strong antioxidants. The use of interferon suppositories is welcomed by all doctors of the world. Treatment with candles not only raises immunity after suffering an oncological disease, but is also used to treat herpes, papillomavirus, and other diseases. Candles reduce the risk of recurrence of the disease and assist in the treatment of pathologies. Cancer is a terrible disease, but today medicine has made a huge breakthrough in this area and treatment is carried out promptly, with a positive result in most cases.

Oncology is not a sentence, but the restoration of immunity is in the hands of a person who has suffered a terrible disease and won a victory over it. With patience and effort, recovery will turn out in a fairly short time. Before using this or that drug, you should definitely consult with your doctor.

The most dangerous and mostly incurable diseases affect the body's immune system - cancer, HIV, systemic pathologies. And if there are no questions with AIDS, the virus of which selectively penetrates into immune cells and disrupts their work, then with oncology everything is somewhat more complicated. Immunity here is oppressed by a cascade of complex and interrelated links of pathogenesis, and at the same time, it is the immune system that is responsible for fighting this disease, so the question of how to raise immunity in cancer is of great relevance.

Why is the immune system disrupted in oncology?

Every day, several tens of thousands of atypical (cancerous) cells form in the human body. However, the immune system of a healthy person copes with them without problems with the help of T-killer blood cells and NK cells, which recognize specific antigens on the surface of these cells and destroy them.

Despite the fact that the etiology of oncological diseases is not completely clear, it is reliably known that in 90% of cases the development of the disease is preceded by damage to certain genes (oncogenes). This process further entails uncontrolled cell division and the loss of antigens on the surface, recognizing which NK-killers identify pathology.

In addition, a decrease in immunity in cancer is due to the fact that the tumor is extremely energetically active and “selects” glucose from healthy tissues. Energy starvation of tissues leads to the so-called cancer cachexia and inhibits the body's immune response.

As a result, these parallel processes close in a vicious circle and the immune system can no longer fully respond to the tumor, and T-killers do not recognize cells “enemy” to the body, the tumor develops, tumor progression occurs, and recovery becomes more complicated.

In addition, traditional methods of cancer treatment - radiological procedures (radiation therapy) and chemotherapy - play a significant role in suppressing the immune system. Studies show that 95% of patients who received chemotherapy have hematopoietic system depression, as a result of leukopenia (a decrease in the level of leukocytes in the blood) and suppression of immune function. Can this vicious circle be broken?

How to improve immunity in oncology?

There are many ways how and how to increase immunity, from folk methods and nutrition correction to pharmaceuticals and high innovative technologies. However, are they all suitable for cancer patients? Studies show that cancer immunocorrection requires a comprehensive and balanced approach.

So, the key point is the obligatory consultation of the medical commission - an oncologist, a radiologist, an immunologist and a therapist (if necessary). After all, interfering with such a finely tuned body system as the immune system is fraught with long-term negative consequences that can have the opposite effect in cancer treatment.

The main ways to restore immunity in cancer are:

Nutrition correction, with the main bias of increased content of vitamin C, A, B2 and B6, trace elements (especially potassium and zinc), fiber, phytonutrients and antioxidants.
Pharmaceutical preparations - immunostimulators and immunomodulators. Recently, direct and thoughtless stimulation of immunity in cancer is becoming a thing of the past in medicine. It is believed that human immunity is too fragile and complex thing, which can be irreversibly imbalanced. During the tumor process and concomitant treatment, different links of the immune defense are turned on in turn, and stimulation alone can do harm.
Innovative techniques in the form of transfusions of blood plasma, concentrates of lymphocytes and immunoglobulins. So, in 2015 in the United States, several patients with stage 4 cancer and metastatic disease were completely cured by an experimental method of injections of activated T-killers. Also, alpha-interferon is actively used in modern protocols for the treatment of melanoma and some types of cancer.

Products that increase immunity in oncology

The safest and most natural is to strengthen immunity with the help of natural products and correction of the daily diet. Our immune system is extremely dependent on human nutrition and what substances enter the body, so it is the diet that can achieve a good effect, while not risking taking immunostimulants.

Products that increase immunity in cancer are divided into those that have a direct effect on immunity and those that improve the condition of the body as a whole.

First of all, you should pay attention to food, which contains a lot of vitamin C, which plays an important role in most immune response processes.

Rose hip

A decoction or infusion of this healing berry contains not only a large amount of ascorbic acid, but also natural phytoncides, fructose and phytonutrients. It strengthens the immune system and has a mild general tonic effect on the body, which is so important for asthenic patients who have been diagnosed with cancer.

Citrus

How to strengthen immunity in cancer and not only? It is necessary to eat more citrus fruits, unless of course they are not allergic. In addition to the high content of vitamin C, citrus fruits, in particular grapefruit and lime, have a huge amount of natural antioxidants that bind free radicals. Free radicals are exactly the component aggressive to normal cells that helps the tumor grow and progress.

bee pollen

This ingredient is also allergenic for many people as it is a bee product. However, its benefits clearly outweigh the harm. Pollen contains a whole storehouse of vitamins, micro- and ultra-microelements, such as cobalt, selenium, manganese. Of the vitamins, these are B1, C and vitamin F, which is very rare in nature.

sea kale

How to improve immunity in thyroid cancer? You need to eat more seaweed. Seaweed is also rich in most vitamins and minerals, but its value is different. This sea vegetable contains a lot of iodine, which helps not only the thyroid gland, but also the functioning of the human immune system as a whole.

hangers

Despite the fact that the attending physician often forbids mushrooms to cancer patients for one reason or another (this product is not so easy for the gastrointestinal tract), however, the benefits of using oyster mushrooms are undeniable. They contain a lot of selenium and zinc, and these trace elements are actively involved in the enzyme cycles of lymphocytes and macrophages.

oats

Oats, especially germinated, are recommended for patients who have undergone heavy courses of chemotherapy or radiation therapy. This cereal not only strengthens the immune system in general, but also allows you to restore the number of leukocytes in the blood.

Increasing immunity in cancer should occur in stages and, most importantly, agreed with the attending physician. The immune system is a very fragile mechanism, so uncontrolled stimulation can also lead to negative consequences. If we take into account the specifics of oncological patients - asthenia, cachexia, severe treatment, it becomes obvious that in parallel with immunity it is necessary to mobilize all body systems - cardiovascular, excretory, nervous, and so on.

Thus, the question of how to maintain immunity in cancer should be discussed together by the attending physician, moreover, it is raised at medical consultations where a chemotherapist, immunologist, radiologist and general oncologist are present.

The maximum that the patient can do on his own is to adhere to the recommendations of a healthy diet and try to eat more healthy foods, while eliminating harmful ones containing carcinogens.

Diet for any cancer is 10-15% of the success of recovery. Nutrition plays a huge role in maintaining a normal balance of trace elements and vitamins within the body.

Cancers release a huge amount of toxins into the body, and proper nutrition is aimed at reducing this level to a healthy balance. Plus, you need to know what you can and cannot eat with cancer, so as not to aggravate the condition and not increase general intoxication, worsen blood circulation and not accelerate tumor growth.

Plus, you need to improve immunity, accelerate cell regeneration. This is especially important after heavy chemotherapy, which greatly affects the entire body, poisoning it. Healthy immunity itself will fight malignant cells and attack the tumor.

The purpose of proper nutrition

Reduce general intoxication in the body and localization of the tumor.
Improve liver function.
Improve metabolism and regeneration of cells and tissues.
Raise hemoglobin and improve oxygen exchange between red blood cells and healthy cells.
Normalize metabolism.
Improve the balance of biochemical composition in the blood.
Removal of toxins and slags.
homeostasis balance.

Anti-cancer products

A balanced diet and a cancer diet are very different from a normal diet. And usually the emphasis is on plant foods rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.

Green tea. Contains epigallocatechin gallate or catechin, which reduces the rate of tumor growth. Drink 200 milliliters of green tea every day after dinner.
Chinese, Japanese mushrooms. Reishi, cordyceps, shiitake, maitake have a good remedy to increase immunity in a weakened body. Plus, it reduces swelling and swelling of the neoplasm itself. Strongly reduces intoxication next to the cancer and reduces its aggressiveness.
Seaweed. Dulse, chlorella, wakame, spirulina, kombu are powerful inhibitory substances that inhibit the rate of tumor growth and reduce the processes of cancer cell division. Especially useful for patients with poorly differentiated tumors.
Nuts and seeds. Pumpkin, sesame, sunflower, linseeds, almonds, walnuts. They contain lignans, which increase the production of sex hormones. A good tool that is used to prevent breast cancer. Without these substances, the cells of the body are more susceptible to mutations, plus more toxins and extra enzymes appear in the blood. Seeds contain fats, proteins, carbohydrates and useful trace elements for cells and tissues.

Greenery with leaves. Mustard, alfalfa, sprouts, wheat, onions, carrots, parsnips, garlic, spinach, cumin, parsnips, parsley, lettuce. Contains a large amount of essential nutrients, minerals, vitamins and natural amino acids. The leaves also contain chlorophyll, from which we mainly get natural iron. Increases the amount of antibodies in the body, improves phagocytosis, reduces the amount of carcinogens in the blood and tissues. Removes inflammation in gastrointestinal cancer. The salad itself is best seasoned with linseed oil, which also contributes to cancer therapy.
Aromatic herbs. Mint, basil, thyme, marjoram, cloves, anise, cinnamon, rosemary cumin, turmeric. It worsens the growth rate of tumor formations and improves metabolism.
String beans. Asparagus, soybeans, chickpeas, lentils, peas, green beans. Contains chymotrypsin and trypsin, which reduces the growth rate of aggressive cells. Improves cell regeneration. Good with boiled fish.
Fruits vegetables. Beets, lemon, tangerine, pumpkin, apple, plums, peaches, grapefruit, apricot. They contain beta-carotene, lycopene, ellagic acid, quartzetin and lubein - these antioxidants protect the body during chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

Berries. Cherries, cherries, currants, cranberries, mulberries, blackberries, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries - the tumor produces a large amount of exogenous toxins, which the berries neutralize with the help of antigenic inhibitor substances. They improve the protection of cell DNA from ultraviolet and chemical exposure, reduce the chance of mutation and destroy cancer cells.
Cruciferous vegetables. Turnip, white cabbage, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli, radish contain indole and glucosinolate, which improve liver function, reduce intoxication and impair the germination of cancer cells in blood vessels.
Honey, royal jelly, propolis, perga, pollen. It improves regeneration, enhances immunity, reduces the growth rate of cancer and has a slight analgesic effect for the patient's body. Very often honey is used for cancer or carcinoma of the stomach.

Prohibited foods for cancer

Soda, soda cola and water.
Alcohol in packages.
Broths from fish, meat or poultry.
Margarine
Yeast
Sugar and sweet
Vinegar food
Whole milk. The rest of the dairy products can be.
Flour of the first grades
Canned foods, pickles, pickled cucumbers, tomatoes, pickled vegetables, etc.
Stale potatoes.
Highly fatty foods.
Sausages, salted, smoked, it doesn't matter.
Any fried fat.
Flour, pastries, buns, cakes, confectionery, where many additional substances are added.
Mayonnaise and store-bought ketchup.
Coco-Cola, Sprite, and other sweet sodas and soft drinks.
Processed and heat-treated cheese.
Frozen minced meat, fish, meat and semi-finished products.
Smoked, highly salted, spicy and very fatty foods.
Beef meat - due to the huge amount of additives, most cows have cancerous growths, of course they are cut out when sold, but it's better not to risk it.

Rules

First of all, you need to discuss your diet with your doctor, since only he knows the exact data about the localization, stage and aggressiveness of the cancer. After any treatment, chemotherapy, as well as after surgery, it is better to rebuild the diet, since in this case you first need to lean on easily digestible substances and foods, as well as those foods that provide a large amount of substances, protein and carbohydrates for recovery and regeneration.

For 1 kilogram of a person's weight, up to 30-40 kilocalories are needed. You can see the table below.

NOTE! Remember that the nutritional component should include: carbohydrates 55%, the rest is 30% fat and 15% protein. Plus, you need to consume vitamins, minerals and other useful substances.

Requirements

Eat food at a normal temperature. Never eat very hot or cold food from the refrigerator.
Chew foods more thoroughly to improve digestion and intestinal absorption. This is especially true for patients with cancers of the gastrointestinal tract and stomach.
Do not fry food in oil, try to use boiled food. A steamer helps a lot with this. When frying, a huge amount of carcinogens is produced, which worsen the condition of the liver and the body as a whole.
Eat little by little 5 to 7 times a day, in small portions no more than 250 grams.
Only fresh food and only cooked food. Do not keep it for more than noon.
For patients who have undergone gastric resection surgery, all food must be ground in a blender.
For vomiting and nausea, drink at least 3 liters of water per day. Do not drink carbonated and mineral water with excess salts. With a normal diet, be sure to drink 2 liters of water per day, pure or boiled. For kidney cancer, be sure to consult your doctor.

For nausea in the morning, eat 2-3 toast or bread, you can also take biscuits orally.
Ventilate the room in case of unpleasant odors and sensations.
After radiotherapy, the patient's salivation is disturbed, then you need to lean more on liquid food, cereals, finely chopped vegetables, sour-milk drinks with herbs. To stimulate the salivary glands, you can chew gum or eat acidic foods.
Try to add onions, garlic and any fresh herbs to each dish.
Drink two glasses of water half an hour before meals.
Eat more fiber to stimulate the bowels.
With irritation of the gastric wall and with severe heartburn, eat more cereals and less sour, bitter and sweet foods.
If you have diarrhea, loose stools and diarrhea, then eat more crackers, cottage cheese, fresh potatoes, flaxseeds. Eat less fruits and vegetables that have a laxative effect.
For cancer of the larynx, when swallowing becomes very difficult, eat chopped food, fruits, vegetables, soups, liquid cereals, etc.

vitamins

Many believe that the use of vitamins accelerates the growth of the tumor itself. You must understand that a tumor, like any other organ, of course, will consume all the useful substances, but with normal therapy, the body will need to recover, and for this there must be a full range of trace elements.

Calcium
Magnesium
Carotenoids
Selenium
Amino acids
Flavonoids
Isoflavones
Vitamins: A, E, C.
Polyunsaturated fatty acids

Frequently asked Questions

Why can't you eat sweets if you have cancer?

You can, but in limited quantities. In general, the harm of sweets has not yet been particularly proven in the development of cancerous tumors. But the fact that the tumor itself consumes an increased amount of glucose is a fact! But this is how other tissues and organs in the body consume it, so you can’t completely refuse sweets.

Can you drink wine?

You can use it, but not in large quantities. True, some types of oncology have contraindications. If the patient is severely intoxicated or is taking certain drugs that cannot work with an increase in blood alcohol, then it is forbidden to drink any alcoholic beverages. It is best to consult a doctor.

Cottage cheese and calcium intake help with bone cancer?

No, that won't help at all. Also, it does not help with bone metastasis with (breast cancer carcinoma), and other oncology.

Can you drink coffee with cancer?

Coffee is great for stimulating the immune system and is a great antioxidant, but coffee doesn't help cancer and can cause additional problems. Many doctors forbid drinking it, with oncology, because caffeine increases blood pressure and increases clotting, which can cause blood clots.

It is better not to use it, because often coffee and any oncology are far from each other. But for more accurate information, consult your doctor.

Is massage necessary for cancer?

The massage itself can only be done by a professional massage therapist who knows and is familiar with your pathology. In general, most do not recommend doing any massages for oncology, due to the fact that the tumor can begin to grow faster when blood circulation is stimulated.

Can you drink milk or cream?

A little higher, we have already indicated that whole-milk products cannot be drunk. This is due to the fact that they contain substances that increase insulin-like growth factors. They affect the formation of cancer cells in the human body.

What medicines are contraindicated?

In no case do not decide or consult with anyone about taking medications. And even more so, do not look for this answer on the Internet. Any intake of any substance is clearly agreed with the attending physician.

For example, some antibiotics are prohibited in kidney and liver cancer, but in general they are not prohibited in oncology. It is necessary to clearly understand the nature of the disease, and only a qualified doctor can know about this.

beetroot juice against cancer

pros

It inhibits the growth of tumor cells.
Increases hemoglobin.
Normalizes the number of mature leukocytes in the blood.
Cancer cells become more oxidizable and thus weaker to the body's immune system.
Good remedy for cancer: lung, bladder, stomach, rectum. In general, it helps with any oncological diseases.

Cooking method

Take and cut the beets into small pieces.
Throw in a juicer or blender.
We filter the pulp and leave only the juice.
We put the juice for 2 hours in the refrigerator at +5 degrees.
In the first dose, we drink 5 ml of juice after a meal. Then gradually increase the dose by 3 ml each time up to 500 ml (daily dose). You can’t drink everything at once, as pressure can increase, the pulse becomes more frequent, and nausea appears.
It is taken 100 ml 5 times a day for half an hour before meals. For breakfast, lunch and dinner, you can increase the dose to 120 ml.
Do not drink cold juice, it is best to warm it up to body temperature. You can also drink in addition carrot, pumpkin and any freshly squeezed vegetable juice (especially healthy juice from red vegetables).
