CANCER UPDATE

FROM JOHN HOPKINS HOSPITAL


 Useful Information on one of the deadliest diseases
 of our time: CANCER.
 
 
(PLEASE READ AND FORWARD IT TO PEOPLE YOU CARE
 ABOUT)
 
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,
   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.
 
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  soya 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 w ater, 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 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,  Floressence, 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.

Subject: CANCER UPDATE FROM
JOHN HOPKINS HOSPITAL,
 
US
  - PLEASE READ:
 
1. No plastic containers in micro.
2. No water bottles in freezer.
3. No plastic wrap in microwave.
 
John 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 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.
