what is cancer?

[Guest guest]

News from Hopkins:

AFTER

YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY (TRY THE

KEY WORD) AND ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHN HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO

TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY .

Cancer Update from 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 betw een 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

tumors.

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 soya 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 f ruits 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 lo t 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, un

forgiveness and bitterness put the body into a str essful and acidic

environment. L earn 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.

PLEASE READ ON:

1. No plastic containers in micro.

2. No

water bottles in freezer.

3. No

plastic wrap in microwave.

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 P rogram Manager at

Castle Hospital w as 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 CorningWare, 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.
