Since radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer, responsible for the deaths of more than 20,000 Americans each year – we figured it would be a great idea to talk about ways to prevent the disease. Long-term exposure to radon is what causes the most danger, so as always we recommend that you test your home – or hire a professional to do so – before doing anything else. Once you’ve figured out whether or not radon is a problem in your residence, you can move on to other home remedies such as these.<\/p>\n

It should be noted that there isn’t a whole lot of factual, scientific evidence supporting\u00a0many of these natural remedies, although there may be some proof here and there. None of these things will definitely prevent cancer, as there are no guarantees. There are many reasons one might contract the disease whether it be hereditary, smoking, radon or pollution related or otherwise. The ailments mentioned here will help lower the risk of cancer – lung cancer included – but that does not necessarily mean they will prevent it completely.<\/p>\n

Ingesting, or Massaging Your Skin with Garlic May Prevent Cancer and\u00a0Other Illnesses<\/b><\/h1>\n
\"Garlic<\/a>

Garlic has been linked to several supplementary benefits<\/a>, and it has long been believed that it can ward off illnesses such as minor colds, respiratory problems and it can even help prevent cancer – by reducing the risk.<\/p>\n

Eating or coming into contact with garlic on a regular basis will subject your body to a componenet called allicin<\/i>. This common component is responsible for blocking enzymes and bacteria that can cause colds, the flu and other illnesses.<\/p>\n

While there is no evidence supporting the fact that garlic will help after someone is already sick, many believe that rubbing garlic on the chest, hands and feet during an illness will alleviate issues if not force it away entirely.<\/p>\n

Believe it or not, raw garlic is not the most potent form of the vegetable. It’s best when you crush the garlic clovers, thus allowing the allicin<\/i> enzymes to escape. Once crushed you can then eat it, or rub it on your body for the best effect. Although, we definitely would recommend ingesting the garlic over rubbing it on your skin – unless you fully intend to ward off vampires too.<\/p>\n

Drinking Apple Cider Vinegar May Prevent Cancer and Provide Several Health Benefits<\/b><\/h2>\n

Apple Cider Vinegar has also been linked to a great deal of health benefits<\/a>. It can help with weight loss, body and digestive detox, and even teeth whitening. Perhaps most interesting is that it can also be used as a natural remedy for digestive problems.<\/p>\n

It turns out, vinegar may also help with nasal drainage and sinus congestion problems. It’s not a stretch to believe that it may help with other respiratory problems, as well. This is because the vinegar essentially cleanses the mouth and throat, making it difficult for illness-born bacteria to thrive. Because of this, it also exhibits some very strong alkaline properties after being ingested. Many studies show that alkaline environments – such as those created from drinking apple cider vinegar – prevent serious illnesses from thriving. Those illnesses include anything from the common cold to several forms of cancer.<\/p>\n

Of course, for it to be of increased benefit one would have to frequently consume the apple cider vinegar. Not everyone can stand the strong smell and taste of it. That said, it’s still worth giving a try if you find you need to boost your body’s immune system. We’re also not talking about drinking apple cider vinegar straight, either. You can mix it so that it’s much more consumption-friendly, or you can mix it with several types of foods or\u00a0meals.<\/p>\n

There are Other Natural Remedies To Prevent Cancer<\/b><\/h3>\n

Onion – like garlic – has also been linked to a long list of health benefits. That said, it’s up to you whether or not you can brave these natural vegetables and remedies to keep your body healthy. Onion and garlic are both extremely potent, and apple cider vinegar is no exception.<\/p>\n

While these ailments will not prevent cancer and other illnesses 100%, it certainly seems like they will help one’s body stay healthy. Have you heard of any other natural remedies that help ward off cancer and severe illness?<\/p>\n
