Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins - prevent with food selection

February 10, 2008

Cancer Update from Johns 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 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,

gastrointestinal 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 color. 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 to 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

purified 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.

1. 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. This

information is being circulated at Walter Reed 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. Edward 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

a! way 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.

Moderator's Note: For me, myself and I- I do not trust one source to tell me

what is real and what isn't. I have observed snopes saying that CODEX- a vital

threat to our access to vitamins- was just an urban legand/hoax. Make of it

what you will.
