The annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Washington DC ended recently, and a new cancer-killing therapy was a big topic.
3 T-Cell Tricks To Activate Your Body’s Own Cancer-Killers!!

Researchers revealed that they had taken human T-cells and engineered them to identify, memorize and attack tumor cells. The therapy didn’t work for everyone and some patients experienced toxic side-reactions and died. However, some of the patients had many other therapies that failed, and some people were in complete remission after 18 months.
It’s great that scientists have used the body’s own natural cancer-killing cells in their research. But like many of these therapies, scientists are calling T-cells a “living drug” so they can patent and sell an eventual therapy … which won’t be available to the general public any time soon.
Fortunately, what is available to you are your own T-cells.
They’re not a drug, and they already attack cancer cells. Plus, you can increase their cancer-killing effectiveness starting right now. Here are three natural ways to boost the cancer-killing effectiveness of your T-cells:


1. START WITH GETTING PLENTY OF VITAMIN D.

  • The prestigious journal Nature published a study with a stunning discovery: T-cells don’t work very well unless your vitamin D receptors are activated.
  • In other words, T-cells won’t activate without enough vitamin D.
  • The study also says you can increase your T-cell responsiveness by 750 percent by making sure you have a good amount of vitamin D.
  • Direct sunshine is best because our bodies make vitamin D from the sun’s rays.
  • If you can’t get some sun every day, it’s best to get at least 3-5,000 IU of D3 daily.
  • You might need as much as 10,000 IU if you’ve been out of the sun for most of this winter already.

2. ADD SOME SELENIUM TO YOUR DIET.

  • Or make sure it’s in your daily multi-nutrient.
  • Selenium is well-known to be cancer-protective.
  • But studies show it also increases the effectiveness of T-cells and makes them more powerful.
  • Fortunately, you don’t need much selenium. You do need more than the RDA, which is only 55 micrograms.
  • It appears that up to but no more than 200 mcg a day is a good target. You should get it from food.
  • A few Brazil nuts will give you all you need. Or you could eat plenty of eggs, fish, and mushrooms.

3. HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF CAT’S CLAW?

  • It’s easier to say that its Latin name, Uncaria Tomentosa.
  • This plant is native to South America, and its health benefits are so powerful that it’s now being studied to see what it can do against cancer.
  • What they’ve discovered is that cat’s claw cat’s turns on T-cells and unleashes them against many diseases.
  • Like the T-cells in the study, cat’s claw seems to stop cancer from spreading.
  • You will normally see cat’s claw in supplement form at a 350 mg daily dose, and it’s standardized to contain 8% carboxy alkyl esters, which is the active compound.
  • Mother nature provides many options to skyrocket your body’s own natural cancer defenses–and more and more people are turning to them.
  • In 2005, 72 million people sought alternative treatments, many like the ones you can read about in Dr. Michael Cutler’s Surviving Cancer manual.

The Dahlia Flowers are native to Mexico and Central America. The Aztecs used them for food, decoration and ceremonies – and in 1963 they were named as the national flower of Mexico.
Dahlia Flowers grow from tubers, so they are part of the family of plants growing from bulbs, also called bulbous plants. They are also available as rooted cuttings, which are cuttings taken from the base stem from last years plants, and grown on in compost in specialist nurseries.
There is a great variety of form in dahlias, from the showy dinner-plate size to the bright, little single ones.

Varieties of Dahlias
There are wide varieties of dahlias based on their sizes, flowering patterns and resemblance to other flowers:
– Single-flowered Dahlias
– Anemone-flowered Dahlias
– Collerette Dahlias
– Waterlily Dahlias
– Decorative Dahlias
– Ball Dahlias
– Pompon Dahlias
– Cactus Dahlias
– Miscellaneous Dahlias
– Fimbriated Dahlias
– Single Orchid Dahlias (Star)
– Double Orchid Dahlias



Collerette Dahlias
Dahlias grow naturally in climates which do not experience frost, consequently they are not adapted to withstand sub-zero temperatures. However their tuberous nature enables them to survive periods of dormancy, and this characteristic means that gardeners in temperate climates with frosts can grow dahlias successfully, provided the tubers are lifted from the ground and stored in cool yet frost-free conditions during the winter. Planting the tubers quite deep (10 – 15 cm) also provides some protection. When in active growth, modern dahlia hybrids perform most successfully in well-watered yet free-draining soils, in situations receiving plenty of sunlight. Taller cultivars usually require some form of staking as they grow, and all garden dahlias need deadheading regularly, once flowering commences. 
                                        
Waterlily Dahlias
Slugs and snails are serious pests in some parts of the world, particularly in spring when new growth is emerging through the soil. Earwigs can also disfigure the blooms. The other main pests likely to be encountered are aphids (usually on young stems and immature flower buds), red spider mite (cause foliage mottling and discolouration, worse in hot and dry conditions) and capsid bugs (result in contortion and holes at growing tips). Diseases which may be found affecting dahlias include powdery mildew, grey mould (Botrytis cinerea), verticillium wilt, dahlia smut (Entyloma calendulae f. dahliae), phytophthora and some plant viruses.
