How To Prevent Cancer
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
nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, but also to
environmental, food and lifestyle factors.
5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing
diet to eat more adequately and healthy, 4-5 times/day and by 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:
· 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 a very small amounts. Table
salt has a chemical added to make it white in color Better alternative
is Bragg’s aminos or sea salt.
· 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.
· Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet
is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little other meat, like
chicken. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and
parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.
· 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)
· 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 build-up.
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,
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.
17. No plastic containers or plastic wrap in microwave.
18. No water bottles in freezer.
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
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, Pyrexor 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.
