natural help for the disease, as long as the treatment is purely natural and cannot do harm, then what have you to lose. As a friend once told me, you can’t put a price on good health.

BREAST CANCER
In recent months I have been receiving treatment for breast cancer. This has involved radiotherapy and chemotherapy. I have been taking Aloe Berry Nectar for five weeks with amazing results. The hospital had warned me that the chemo treatment would make me feel very low. This normally happens around the fourth week mark. I am now on week six of radiotherapy and I am buzzing. I have a new lease of life. The doctor is amazed at the lack of burning on my skin. I can only put this down to the Aloe Berry Nectar. I have recommended it to other patients who are just about to start radiotherapy. We hope with the same successful results.
CHEMOTHERAPY - RADIOTHERAPY
Cancer is caused by a combination of a number of triggers and the body's immune system failure to cope. The rich antioxidant properties in drinking Aloe helped to rebuild my immune system during and after the treatments which because of their high toxicity tend to make people weak and open to all types of infections (e.g. Mouth ulcers to influenza etc.) As a result of drinking the gel, I had no illnesses during the six months of treatment. I used the skin aloe vera gelly during radiation treatment and found it very cooling and soothing. I now need to maintain a high level of health and my immune system needs to be working at peak performance so I continue to drink the gel every day.
Optimising your Chances against the Big C

Introduction
Sadly, the Big C - cancer - seems to be all around us, with many of us knowing someone who has been diagnosed with cancer. In the UK, there are more than 267,000 new cases each year - that's over 700 a day. With more than one in three of us being diagnosed with cancer during our lifetime, it's not surprising that it's often the disease we fear the most. So what can we do to optimise our chances? Well, without doubt, for our general health and well-being we should eat a healthy balanced diet and take part in regular physical activity. The important role that our lifestyle plays in protecting against diseases, such as coronary heart disease, probably seem more obvious than the role it plays in reducing our cancer risk. However, the good news is that healthy diets and associated lifestyles can also help protect us against many common cancers. So let’s take a look at the key aspects of our lifestyle that have an influence on our cancer risk.
Cancer Prevention
Cancer is one of the biggest killers in this country - second only to cardiovascular diseases - killing one in four of us. As life expectancy increases, the population at risk from cancer also grows, because it largely affects older people - 65% of cases occur in the over 65's. There are over 200 different types of cancer, but the four major types - lung, breast, large bowel and prostate - account for over half of all cases diagnosed. The most common cancer in men is prostate and for women it is breast.
Although, there are many different causes of cancer, the majority of cancers are influenced by environmental factors - particularly smoking and diet - and therefore the risk can be reduced. Smoking causes a third of all cancers, and so stopping smoking is of the utmost importance. Quitting smoking before your 40's will avoid 90% of health risks attributable to tobacco, and stopping in later years will still greatly reduce lung cancer risk. So it's never too late to quit - but the earlier the better!
A Healthy Lifestyle
After smoking, our diet is the next biggest contributor to cancer deaths - accounting for around 30% of all cancer deaths. Therefore, it is plausible that our dietary habits could have an impact on our risk of developing certain cancers. However, the scientific evidence on which to base specific dietary recommendations for the prevention of cancer is limited. And, although a new generation of large research studies investigating diet and cancer are underway, definitive findings are unlikely to be available for at least another five years. Consequently, although current dietary recommendations may tend towards the conservative, they are unlikely to lead to an increase in cancer. Furthermore they are also consistent with the principles of a healthy balanced diet and so are in line with the guidelines for the avoidance of other health issues such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
