> 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 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 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 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
> 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.
