Useful Information on One of the Deadliest Diseases of Our Time: CANCER

"Let me share this useful information sent to me by a friend."

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.


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 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 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 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 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, 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.


CANCER UPDATE FROM JOHN HOPKINS HOSPITAL , U S - PLEASE READ

1. No plastic containers in micro.

2. No water bottles in freezer.

3. No plastic wrap in microwave.

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.
