FOOD FOR THOUGHT....

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

BEING THE KEY WORD) TO ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHNS HOPKINS IS FINALLY

STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY .

 

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 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 becomes putrefied 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 bodies 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 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 cause 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 Cast le 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. Pa per 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.

This is an article that should be sent to anyone important in your life.
