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 white 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. 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 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. 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 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.
