Ultimate Selenium for Cancer Survivors

As Breast Cancer Awareness Month draws to a close, I want to highlight our Ultimate Selenium™, a product you can give to those you love who are conquering breast cancer, or any type of cancer.

The following is an excerpt from the Youngevity Catalog regarding Ultimate Selenium™. I will retype the text to make it easier to read.

For decades, the importance of selenium was unclear. Today, it is one of the most-documented and widely-studied trace elements known. Selenium is an essential nutrient to the human body, which humans require, but cannot make. This nutrient must be provided in the diet or in supplement form.

Selenium is also considered to have “antioxidant properties” which have been identified by the National Academy of Sciences as “a substance in foods that significantly decreases free radicals (e.g. reactive oxygen) and reactive nitrogen substances (e.g. N-nitroso compounds).” Vitamins C and E are examples of other antioxidants.

Even if I were not a Youngevity Associate, I would still take Ultimate Selenium™ and recommended it to those I care about. Why? Because I believe in taking the best nutritional products available (best is not determined by price, it is determined by effectiveness and results). Why do I feel Youngevity is the best nutrition company? 1.) Because it is the only one with an authorized health claim. 2.) Higher product absorption rates (you are what your body absorbs). 3.) Telephone and In-Person Access to Naturopathic Doctors and Product Formulators for questions and answers. 4.) The reputation of Dr. Joel D. Wallach, DVM, ND.

Here are the health claims regarding Selenium:

The FDA authorized the following health claims submitted by the company and Dr. Wallach.

“Selenium may reduce the risk of certain cancers. Some scientific evidence suggests that consumption of selenium may reduce the risk of certain forms of cancer. However, the FDA has determined that this evidence is limited and not conclusive.”

“Selenium may produce anticarcinogenic effects in the body. Some scientific evidence suggests that consumption of selenium may produce anticarcinogenic effects in the body. However, the FDA has determined that this evidence is limited and not conclusive.”

And for something that is not based on drugs, a medical procedure, or surgery, you have to admit, those are some very generous statements by the FDA.

Some things to consider regarding Selenium:

  • Reduced cancer deaths by 50% in a university study
  • Found to increase some immune factors by up to 79%
  • Just a few forms of cancer that seem to be affected by adequate Selenium levels may include: Breast Cancer, Prostate Cancer, Lymphomas, Stomach Cancer, Gastrointestinal Cancer, Bladder Cancer, Lung Cancer, Oral Cavity Cancer, Throid Cancer, Esophageal Cancer, Colorectal Cancer, Ovarian Cancer

If it fits into your budget, get a Healthy Start Pak and a few bottles of Ultimate Selenium™. Or give the gift of nutrition (that heals the body and helps it to repair and restore the immune system) to someone you love.

10 Ways To Pamper Those With Breast Cancer

Over the years, I have had the opportunity to care for several women who were diagnosed with breast cancer. While this site and many others are filled with special offers for your donations to breast cancer research, I thought it would also be a good time to talk about some tangible ways you can help those you personally know.

Here are 10 Ways To Pamper Those With Breast Cancer:

  1. Foot Massage/Reflexology: This should be a light-pressure massage since the skin may be tender to the touch, depending upon the treatment modality she selected. Follow it up with an organic therapeutic foot cream. This will moisturize and heal her skin, which tends to become dry from the medical treatments.
  2.  

  3. Onion Soup: Since the weather is starting to get cold, a nice bowl of onion soup would be wonderful. Onions contain sulfur which is very beneficial for the body.
  4.  

  5. Wash Her Hair: There are few things more relaxing than a nice scalp massage while you are having your hair washed. Be sure to use a botanical, sulfate free, paraben free shampoo. The fewer chemicals the better, right?!
  6.  

  7. Take Care of Her Children or Pets: Often times the cancer treatments leave her stripped of energy and stamina. Schedule a regular time to take care of her children and/or pets until she is able to do it herself. This will give her time to rest…without feeling guilty or neglectful of those who depend on her.
  8.  

  9. Prepare A Cup of Herbal Tea: Most everyone is aware of the health benefits of herbal tea. A lot of women choose Green Tea for its antioxidant properties. You can also make a warm cup of Pollen Burst, which includes the recommended daily cup of green tea. This way she receives nutrition from the flower pollen along with the antioxidant properties of the green tea. Plus, it does not contain anything that will affect her hormones.
  10.  

  11. Listen To Her: In life, we all want to feel heard and understood. In my experience, the emotional side of cancer tends to lie in deep, unexpressed resentment. Give her an opportunity to share her pain and feel heard, without judgment or correction, and begin to heal her spirit as well as her body.
  12.  

  13. Give Her 6 Months of Proper Nutrition: Many of the doctors in our company believe that with proper nutrition the body will heal and repair itself from virtually any illness or disease. Pay for her to receive 6 months worth of nutritional products that help her body heal, from within. Contact me for this option so we can get her one of Dr. Wallach’s health lectures on CD and arrange for the products to be shipped to her for free (for those in the continental U.S.).
  14.  

  15. Guided Meditation CD: Louise Hay, a breast cancer survivor, has created a wonderful guided meditation for those who have cancer called Cancer: Discovering Your Healing Power. It will take her through a process to see and release those hurts she may be holding onto and carrying in her body. Also, it’s very soothing and relaxing.
  16.  

  17. Take A Stroll: Sunshine and fresh air do wonders to lift the spirit and are very beneficial for the body. Take a walk during the cool of the day, early morning or late evening. Sunshine on the skin also helps the body to produce Vitamin D.
  18.  

  19. Pray With Her: There is such healing power in prayer. And there are few things more humbling and loving than to hear someone pray for you. Give this gift to the breast cancer patient you care about and let the loving words bloom in her heart and help speed her recovery.

Remember, cancer does not have to be a death sentence, no matter what stage she is in. Whatever the body can create…it can also uncreate.
