Truth: Cancer Sucks

Thanks to Johnny Si for passing this along to me. Good stuff. Get healhty, quality of life is what you live for.

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
C2 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 foo ds 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 inc luding 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 protein20walls 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
0A 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=2
0at 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.
