Is it possible to control and influence rate at which injuries, wounds
and even cancer heal? That’s the question a group of researchers from
the Ohio State University asked when they decided to observe wound
healing rates in a group of exercising older adults in comparison to
that of a non-exercising control group.
This three-month study looked at the effects of exercise on wound
healing among healthy older adults. All participants had not exercised
regularly for six months, so the 28 participants who were encouraged to
exercise were given one month to acclimatize to a new exercise program
that included 30 minutes of pedaling on a stationary bike, 15 minutes
jogging or brisk walking on a treadmill, and 15 minutes of strength
training. Fifteen participants acted as controls by not changing their
level of physical activity. All then underwent a small puncture wound
about half a centimeter across and deep on the back of the upper arm.
Individual wounds were measured three times a week until fully healed.
Regular exercisers took only 29 days to heal, while non-exercisers took
up to 10 days longer to recover. From these results, researchers have
speculated that exercise may speed wound healing by enhancing
neuron-endocrine function, meaning that stronger individuals have a
higher body funk!
ion that helps the body heal wounds and cancer faster.
The point of this study is not that exercise is important. It is now
acknowledged as an important factor in maintaining health. The main
point is that even moderate exercise can improve the time to recover in
wound and cancer healing.
In the case of a cancer diagnostic, the body and its recovery system:
the immune system, are stressed by the attack of the disease on the
body. Even a moderate level of exercise can improve your condition. Your
breathing rate increases, bringing more oxygen to your cells. Your heart
rate increases as well, pumping and circulating that oxygen to all parts
of the body.
The immune system contains some of the fastest replicating cells in the
human body. You must remember that self healing does occur for people
with cancer. It doesn’t yet happen as often or as fast as it does with
the cold or with the flu, but it can. The main strategy to improving the
self-healing capacity of the body is obvious: increase the strength of
the immune system. Strengthening the immune system is probably the most
significant thing you can do for yourself to heal cancer and wounds
quicker, and as a happy side-effect, many other life improvements come
along with an improved immune system.
One very simple improvement is a modification in breathing. Far too
often, we take quick and shallow breaths. This can lead to a higher
blood pressure, as it constricts the blood vessels. That constriction
slows our circulation, which also reduce the speed with which our immune
system can respond to a problem.
Everything going on in your body is dependant upon a steady and regular
circulation of blood. Anything that interferes with that circulation is
unhealthy and needs to be resolved immediately. It can slow down healing
and promote cancer.
The solution to this problem is really rather simple: commit five
minutes, three times a day, to breathe deeply. You can do this while
working, reading, driving, etc. You’ll probably find it most beneficial
if you start your day and end your day with one of these five minute
breathing exercises. To learn more ways to remain cancer-free, read
Cancer Free For Life. Dr Magne has written in it the results of
extensive studies and research that demonstrate the cancer can be healed
without chemotherapy or surgery.
In close conjunction with the concept of deeper and more thorough
breathing is the practice of relaxation with breathing exercises. This
focuses solely on the action of breathing while you do it. Obviously,
then, this requires that you not be driving or reading a book. Instead
you simply find a comfortable place to sit, put yourself into the most
comfortable sitting posture, and focus on your breathing.
To really focus on breathing during this time, you should focus your
attention on your belly, as if you have a balloon in your stomach.
Inhale, slowly, to fill the balloon and focus on the expansion happening
in your stomach area. Hold the breath for a comfortable amount of time
and exhale slowly, depleting the balloon in your stomach.
You’ll probably find out almost immediately that you feel a lot
better…even if you didn’t realize you could! In the process, you are
also strengthening your immune system, providing it with the necessary
support to speed healing of cancer and wounds.
Cancer treatments can cause serious damage to the immune system. This
damage opens you up to a wide-range of infections and diseases. If you
are diagnosed with cancer, it’s important that you listen to what your
physician tells you with an open mind. Don’t operate under the
assumption that your doctor will know everything there is to know.
Research all your other options, learn everything you can and take
control of your own recovery. Your doctor doesn’t have the time to get
to know you. Often the prognostic you receive is only the result of
statistics and probabilities, but doesn’t take into account your own
ability to recover and your will to live.
Even moderate exercise and deep breathing can save your life from cancer
by speeding up your healing.
