EXCELLENT ARTICLE ON CANCER

 

AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY AND

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 tumours.

 

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.

WHAT 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 sma ll amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to

make it w h i te 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 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. & nbsp; 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. & nbsp; 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 t o no urish 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. & nbsp;

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

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 e nzymes to attack the protein

walls of cancer cells and allows the body " s killer ce lls 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.
