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 multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could b e 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,
> gastrointestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like
> liver, kidneys, heart, lung s etc. N
>
> 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 wi th Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural
> substitute would be Manuk a hone y 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 soy milk
> cancer cells are being starved.
>
> c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A
> meat-based diet is acidic a nd 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 vegeta
> bles 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 enzyme s. 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 =2 0 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.
>
> 1. No plastic containers in micro.
> 2. No water bottles in freezer.
> 3. No plastic wrap in microwave.

> 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 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 dioxin s
> from the plastic. Recently, Dr. Edward Fujimoto, Wellness
> Program Manager at Castle Hospital , was on a TV program to
> explain this health hazard . He t alked 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.
