Cancer News from John Hopkins, a must read article

AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY (TRYTHE KEY WORD) AND ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHN HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TOTELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY .Cancer Update from John Hopkins:1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do notshow up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a fewbillion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancercells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests areunable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached thedetectable size.2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person'slifetime.3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will bedestroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumours.4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiplenutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental,food and lifestyle factors.5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet andincluding supplements will strengthen the immune system. 6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells andalso 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 damageshealthy cells, tissues and organs.8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reducetumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do notresult in more tumor destruction. 9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy andradiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hencethe person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate andbecome resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancercells to spread to other sites.11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells bynot 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 oneimportant food supply to the cancer cells.Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made withAspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manukahoney or molasses but only in very small amounts. Table salt has achemical added to make it white in colour. Better alternative is Bragg'saminos or sea salt.b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in thegastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk andsubstituting with unsweetened soya milk cancer cells are being starved. c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet isacidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beefor pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones andparasites, 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 vegetablejuices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down tocellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth ofhealthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try anddrink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) andeat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed attemperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green teais a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties. Water- bestto drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavymetals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestiveenzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become putrifiedand leads to more toxic buildup.13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining fromor eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls ofcancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancercells.14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Florssence,Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enablethe body's own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplementslike vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death,the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneededcells.15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive andpositive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, unforgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidicenvironment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relaxand enjoy life. 16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercisingdaily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellularlevel. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.(PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO PEOPLE YOU CAREABOUT)CANCER UPDATE FROM JOHN HOPKINS HOSPITAL , U. S. - PLEASE READ1. No plastic containers in micro.2. No water bottles in freezer.3. No plastic wrap in microwave.Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. Thisinformation is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center aswell. Dioxin chemicals causes cancer, especially breast cancer.Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freezeyour plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins fromthe plastic. Recently, Dr. Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager atCastle 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 weshould not be heating our food in the microwave using plasticcontainers. This especially applies to foods that contain fat. He saidthat the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxininto the food and ultimately into the cells of the body. Instead, herecommends using glass, such as CorningWare, Pyrex or ceramic containersfor heating food. You get the same results, only without the dioxin. Sosuch things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should beremoved from the container and heated in something else. Paper isn't badbut you don't know what is in the paper.It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He reminded usthat a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from thefoam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons. Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just asdangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As thefood is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually meltout of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a papertowel instead. This is an article that should be sentto anyone important in your life.
