This summary has been credited to John Hopkins Hospital - but the Hospital does not claim it as theirs apparently. But nonetheless the information in it is incredibly valuable and there are many books and studies that support all the propositions made. The only bit that I have concern with is recommending soy milk...
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 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 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 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 becomes 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-essence, 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.
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.
