Cancer and alternatives

A close friend of mine recently sent this to me regarding cancer and I thought would be a good article to share with everyone. This is an article from John Hopkins Hospital, US on the alternatives to cancer treatment.

Kudos to JH Hospital !!!


AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO (TRY) AND ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHN HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY .

Cancer Update from John 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
prevented from multiplying and forming
tumors.

4. When a person has cancer it indicates
the person has multiple nutritional defi
ciencies. 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 com
plications.

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 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
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 vege-
table 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 deg-
rees 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.




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

1. No plastic containers in micro.

2. No water bottles in freezer.

3. No plastic wrap in microwave.

John 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 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 CorningWare, 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, CorningWare, 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.
