CANCER UPDATE FROM JOHN HOPKINS HOSPITAL,  U. S.

PLEASE READ

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

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 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, un  forgiveness 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.

 

Other:
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. 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, 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.  

This is an  article that should be sent to anyone important in your  life.
