Spirulina grows in alkaline warm water lakes (Veracity, 2005) The reason our body is sick and infected is because we have too

much acid inside our body (healthy advice for pH is at 7.35) Too much acid is a sign of toxicity - will release free radicals

Act as antioxidantstrap free radicals inside blood

Spirulina contains vitamins, minerals and enzymes Promote DNA repairafter Chemotherapy and Radiation Effect

It boosts immune system Spirulina stimulates natural killer cells

Spirulina has anti cancer and other anti-virals effect

Detoxify bloods Maintain energy level by regulating blood sugar levels

Others which is equivalent to spirulina is blue green algae andchlorella

makes us unhealthy and sick Healthy blood function will increase immune system Act as antibody because it has anti cancer ingredients This is highlighted according to the study (result which is

In conclusion, to fight any disease, we must first understand thedisease very well. Once we comprehend, then it is a little easierfor us to battle the disease

Cancer is a very chronic, most ingenious and if not taken careoff, will be a deadly disease

Doctors are only trained to treat sick patients and diseases but

not trained in dietary nutrition or healthy food intake and how

the food can positively or negatively affect our body structure(metabolism effect)

Nutrition is the other field of expertise. It is made known as afact by nutritionist that the fastest and quickest way to affect our

biochemistry or body molecular structure is by food intake(Block, 2009)

Good food intake will bring you well and bad foodintake will bring you hell

Good food have 1 thing in common; mostly all of

them are naturally alkali

For this reason, I have summed up alternative

medications to complement the standard medication

for breast cancer treatment

The truth is sometimes the cure is just in front of ourvery own eyes and the real truth is you always haveto search for it
