>> 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 d! Ay. 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.

> >> 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 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.
> >>
> >> Inst ead, 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
> >> re! asons.
> >>
> >> 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.
