The human body has its own defensive mechanisms against diseases. In many cases, your immune system will stave off diseases that attack you, but there is one key factor: Early diagnosis and early treatment can eradicate the disease at its budding stage. In most cases, cancer develops over a long period of time, and the human body may give you 8 chances to prevent cancer. Keep your eye out for them.
Look out for these 8 signs to prevent cancer
1. Sneezing
Dust, pathogens, and pollen in the environment might trigger the defensive mechanism of your body after entering your nasal cavity and be removed from the body by sneezing.
2. Coughing
If the pathogens are not removed, they will enter the upper respiratory tract and bronchi. This will trigger the second defensive mechanism: Coughing. Many people consider coughing to be a sign of sickness and will take medicine to stop coughing or take antibiotics/anti-inflammatory drugs to cure it. Then the pathogens that should have been eradicated by your body by coughing are only suppressed and stay in the body. That’s when the third defense mechanism of the body will begin.
3. Lack of energy and appetite
At this stage, the body says that it is tired, and wants to get some rest so that it can focus on fighting against the pathogens that have already invaded the body. However, you usually force yourself to push on with your tasks and continue eating normally, not considering that after eating, your body has to consume energy to digest the food taken in. If your body tells you that it does not want to eat, you had better not eat and instead drink more water and get your calories from vegetable juices. This is an early warning from your body to help prevent cancer from forming. If this is not done, your body will get into the next defense mechanism.
4. Fever
When fever develops, it means that the pathogens have entered the bloodstream. The immune system will be triggered to fight against the pathogens, manifesting as a fever. When the body temperature reaches 101°F, the power of the immune system will double, and when it reaches 104°F, most of the pathogens will be killed. At this stage, the body will lose a lot of water, so in addition to seeking medical treatment, adequate rest and water are necessary.
5. Allergy
When the toxins in the blood are to be removed via the skin, the skin will be allergic. Many people will take anti-allergic drugs or use an ointment to stop the allergy without a doctor’s diagnosis. This way, the toxins that could have been removed via the skin are covered up and stay in the body.
6. Inflammation
To win the war against the pathogens, your body will gather them together at a certain spot that will then become red and swollen. To cure the symptoms, many people will take antibiotics. This does the pathogens a great favor, your body can’t prevent cancer, and it then goes into the 7th defense mechanism.
7. Ulcers and fibrosis
To keep the virus and pathogens from spreading to other parts of the body, your defense mechanism will develop ulcers to protect the body. To protect itself, your body develops fibrosis and scars to wrap up the ulcer so the pathogens cannot move and will not exert any function. This is your body’s last chance to prevent cancer. However, many people cannot endure the discomfort and take a lot of antibiotics. About 45 percent of deaths in the developed world are due to fibrosis. If death does not occur, the body will enter the 8th stage.
8. Cancerization and tumorization
Except for some acute cases, cells will mutate to adapt to the new environment. Cancer cells are developed in a condition seriously lacking water, oxygen, and nutrition. It takes 10 to 15 years for a cancer cell to proliferate to the size of a green bean. But it usually takes only 1 year for the cancer cells to continue developing to the size of an egg. That is to say, the incubation period of cancer is 10 to 15 years at least.
If you listen to what your body has to say and take the right action during each of the 8 stages mentioned above, such as eating a healthy diet, getting quality sleep, drinking enough water, and providing adequate means for the cells to repair their damage, your body might prevent cancer and restore its health by itself, and your life will not need to be ended by disease.
