Hello- When I read this article, I did not think it was truly from s Hopkins however, due to some of my own research and endeavors, a lot of what was said is true or at least somewhat true. The problem with western medicine is that they don't want to acknowledge these things. For instance.... we do have free radicals in our body that need to be filled... and having lots of antioxidants from fruits and vegetables does help close these free radicals before things like pollution does. Having loose free radicals does seem to help lead to the cause of cancer..... This is a theory but it is one taught even in high school biology. There is also this doctor..... Dr. Gerson who believed whole heartedly in juicing, detoxing, caffine enemas (believed to help draw toxic bile from the liver), and basically a high content of alkaline vs acid foods. He has numeous case studies supporting his beliefs and research as well until he was banned from the USA. His research is still found in other countries and you can read about him. It might sound like a conspiracy but after being a victim of western medicine, I do believe that there are financial motivations to suppress that alternative medicine CAN help in many ways. I'm not saying cure but I think there is something to be said. Of course, they constantly say. Well research cant validate that this or that treatment works and we have resarch to support some FDA drug, etc. Well if you know anything about how research is performed... you cannot test lifestyle changes.. there are too many variables unaccounted for. In drug research, you can do research comparing the drug to a placebo and rule out other variables by making sure to cut out people of different races, lifestyles etc as all research does. I k now this.... I'm a researcher.. I am running my own research study and the more you can make your participants alike, the better for supporting your hypothesis. With lifestyle chances like how much fruit and veg you take in and if it helps.... yuou can't study that.. there are to many factors. There are some studies that lcaim eating healthier doesnt help cancer but than again, have you seen the questionnaires for taking in fruits and vegitables? I have and the questions don't ask a lot about non traditional vegetables.. in other words... they dont find out for instance if there are vegies and fruits that you might eat because of your culture..... they just ask.. .how often do you eat carrots.... or eat this or that.... believe me.. Ive been part of research teams that study diet and food intake at the UCSD Cancer Center here in San diego.

There are a lot of people who talk aboiut acid vs alkaline foods and these people are doing very well in their health. case studies do matter... sure there is a placebo effect as well.. but so what if you are doing well as a result!!! Im not saying everyhing that paper says is correct and that all western medicine is bad... but there are a lot of things to think about and explore. Ive seen people on here say that some AJAO doctor said that fish oil does nothing for arthritis or other oiuls yet I went to an AJAO where a physician said that Borage oil really did help reduce inflammation.. not take it away.. but reduce.. and she even 'unofficialy' gave out dosages as well!! Okay.. im off of my soap box now. I have started taking in a lot of raw foods.... juicing.... trying to cut out red meat (yes, research has supported that red meat does stimulate inflammation or something like that). Im drinking detox tea.. im still on lots of medications for my JRA, fibro, diabetes, asthma but the more I'm taking in these foods, and getting massage, I am having more regulated Bowels... TMI.. i know.. lol. I hope that over time, I will gain more health benefits along with weight loss. I hope to be able to cut down on some of my medications in time as well. At least it gives me a lot more power and control if nothing else. Well, Im done now... but just try and keep an open mind.... know that western medicine.... does have financial gain just as any other type of treatments.... but pharmaceuticals have tons of political power and a lot to loose if these easily accessible non-traditional treatments do help/work. I have had friends that also integrate all types of treatment and have had significant benefits.. .not a cure.. but things are better for them. Okay.. im done for realsIssadoraOn 8/15/07, carneyval@... <

Issadora,

You said it right girl..... When your child is sick and you have no clue what is going on. A Mom wonders about this and that. One is What did I do wrong. Is it something I did before my child was born? We are left with questions but theres no answers.

My Mother in law would guide me on what she knew was best. At times I thought she WAS NUTS. But I did what she said. As I was taught never to sass or doubt my Elders. Use to sit and listen to her tell of thing's her parents used to help the sick. They were just Country folk. They Lived LONG lives as well.

Cancer back then was called a Taboo disease by many. But as years went by as today all we want is a cure for all Cancers and all Diseases.

Back then if you had Cancer you had no choices nor Hope. Today we do. I do go back in History to see what helped and what didn't.

Many Doctors have a cure. To many Disease. But due to the higher up people in the Medical field they are surpressed to spread the news. They can be banned from practicing what they know. You also have those who have a disease who are like many of us. If it's too good to be true then it's not true. We doubt them. Until we see proof.

I have used medications which helped my kids. But by the time my niece was born. ALL was taken off the shelves. Can't find it no where. I use to use what was called Moffins Teething Powder Biy was that Great once in the morning you rubbed it on the baby's mouth and once at night. Ummm My kids never had teething problems Smelled like cinninmon Shoot those teeth came in with no pain. But now all that's out there is Oragel which just numbs the WHOLE mouth and the baby can not taste it's foods.

Back when I was a kid my Grand dad would go out and buy a Jug of stuff and when I hurt he had my Mom rub it where I hurt. BOY do I wish I could find this. I searched and searched. I remember the smell though a Indian Dr he knew mixed it up for him. I never knew what it was but the odor was something else.

Stopped my growing pains.

As I went to search for Medicines which I knew would help and most Moms would need for their child. I was told there was something in those Medicines which caused issues. Ummmm My kids are fine. I am fine. My grandparents didn't have a issue. But due to everyone used it bam it's taken off the market.

Many medicines which helped my kid's with their Asthma and Sinus issues well it's not out there anymore either. Why? Because the FDA says theres a Issues with it. Honestly if it is helping people why take it off? Some said there was a reaction if taken with another drug. Well maybe but others do not take a mixer of drugs. But ok the FDA calls the shots.

read a book about Juices ok I went and bought her a juicer and she would mix up different ones. This was back when she weaned herself off her Medications. Did it help? Probably as she did the juice stuff for months. Made her more Healthier. I give it that much.

My Grand Parents, Mother and Father in law believed in Yellow root, Catnip Tea, plus more. If they felt sick you could see them drinking thing's like this. Cat Nips was also given to a baby who was fussy or another issue. Make up this Tea and cool it and pour in the baby bottle. Never hurt the baby and it was helpful. Cod Liver Oil, Castor Oil was given for a reason. Shoot even a mixture of bread molds would be given as well.

Ok as I said Country folk lolololol. Now if you got hurt they also had the remedy to make it all better.

My son jumped on a board with a nail in it. I never in my life had this happen but my father in law knew what to do. He said ok do not panic ok I can handle this. lololol. He took my son attached to that board and

sat my son down on a chair. He said ok now do not move I will be right back. He came back with a metal bucket filled with pine straw, Had a cup of motor oil, Kerosene and a rag and a match. lololol. He poured the old motor oil on the rag laid it on the pine straw. Poured the kerosene in the bucket. Went back for some more pine straw. He lite this stuff and while that was burning he said ok hold him and I will pull out the nail and board. I said ok but he is going to bleed worse. My father in law said no I will handle that. Board came off blood coming out and my father in law put his foot over the bucket. By this time the fire had gone out and it was just the smoke that he wanted. lololol. My son stopped bleeding he said now go get me a pillow case a WHITE one no color in it. I did that and he wrapped the foot in it. Went and got Yellow root in a cup with ice and said ok drink this. LOLOLOL. Ok my thoughts was boy is that foot going to be infected. Ummm the next day I checked it out and no redness no swelling and heck he was running around like it never happened. The nail was rusty as well. From that day on I studied these type of remedies.

For indigestion the Elders would take a pinch of Baking soda and said it worked. It does. But as they instructed me you have to be careful with this. lololol. More than a small pinch would cause a problem.

Chicken Soup was one which has came along ways no matter what it is there when your sick. Chicken soup has more than we know inside it.

But which Doctor will tell you these things? Which Dr would recommend you to do these simple things to help? You might find 1 in a million.

Have you noticed when you finally find something which helps YOU. ummmm You end up trying to find it later and it has been taken off the shelf? WHY? I do know the recalls which is for our own health. But I mean those products which has no recalls just disappear. No warning but it is told the Company stopped making it. lololol

Hi Issadora,

I wasn't implying that there wasn't good information in the article, certainly nutrition and lifestyle has a major affect on our health. There is a lot to alternative medicine practices that make sense as well. Unfortunately the original author of the article (or whoever decided to claim a connection to s Hopkins) completely blew their credibility.

Have a great day!

Re: Cancer Update from s Hopkins

Hi-

I don't want to offend in any way.... but I did a search on Snopes.com for this (urban legend reference page) and found this to be false - that is, it's not from Hopkins. I only did the additional research as I found that while much of the information was good to know, and seemed harmless or even helpful... I found some of it frightening given the chemo medications our children often take, I want to save worry when I can. As I said, I hope my contradiction is not offensive, as I certainly do not intend it to be.....

I verified it on the Hopkins web-site:

EMAIL HOAX REGARDING CANCER

An email falsely attributed to s Hopkins describing properties of cancer cells and suggesting prevention strategies has begun circulating the Internet. s Hopkins did not publish the email, entitled "Cancer Update from s Hopkins," nor do we endorse its contents. For more information about cancer, please read the information on our web site or visit the National Cancer Institute's web site at www.cancer.gov.

Another hoax email that has been circulating since 2004 regarding plastic containers, bottles, wrap claiming that heat releases dioxins which cause cancer also was not published by s Hopkins. More information .

Cancer Update from s Hopkins

1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do

not show up in the standard

tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell

cancer patients that there are no

more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the

tests are unable to detect the

cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.

2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's

lifetime.

3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be

destroyed and prevented

from multiplying and forming tumours.

4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple

nutritional deficiencies. These

could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.

5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet

and including supplements will

strengthen the immune system.

6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells

and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow,

gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver,

kidneys, heart, lungs etc.

7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and

damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.

8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce

tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not

result in more tumor destruction.

9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and

radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence

the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.

10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and

become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause

cancer cells to spread to other sites.

11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by

not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.

CANCER CELLS FEED ON:

a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one

important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar

substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal,Spoonful, etc are made with

Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural

substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses but only in very small

amounts. Table salt has a chemical

added to make it white in colour.

Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.

b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the

gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus.

By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk cancer

cells are being starved.

c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is

acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little

chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock

antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites,

which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.

d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds,

nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline

environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh

vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and

reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance

growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy

cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most

vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3

times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at

temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).

e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green

tea is a better alternative and has cancer fighting properties.

Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins

and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.

12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of

digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the

intestines become putrified and leads to more toxic buildup.

13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining

from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes

to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's

killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.

14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence,

Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals,

EFAs etc.) to enable the body's own killer cells to destroy cancer

cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis,

or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of

damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.

15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and

positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be

a survivor. Anger, unforgiveness and bitterness put the body into a

stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving

spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.

16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment.

Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more

oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means

employed to destroy cancer cells.

CANCER UPDATE FROM JOHN HOPKINS HOSPITAL , U S - PLEASE READ

1. No plastic containers in micro.

2. No water bottles in freezer.

3. No plastic wrap in microwave.

s Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This

information is being circulated at Walter

Army Medical Center as well.

Dioxin chemicals causes cancer, especially breast cancer.

Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies.

Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases

dioxins from the plastic.

Recently, Dr. Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle

Hospital , was on a TV program to explain this

health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He

said that we should not be heating our food

in the microwave using plastic containers.

This especially applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the

combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases

dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body.

Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning

Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same

results, only without the dioxin. So such things

as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from

the container and heated in something else.

Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just

safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He

reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved

away from the foam containers to paper.

The dioxin problem is one of the reasons.

Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as

dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in

the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous

toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap

and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead.
