Cancer Update from John Hopkins

AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY
('TRY' IS THE KEY WORD) 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 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 Dr ink fresh vegetable juice
   (most vegetables including bean sprouts)and eat some raw vege tables
   2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroye d at t emperatures of 104
   degrees F (40 degre es 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 - PLEASE READ

   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 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.
