JOHNS HOPKINS AND CHEMO... CANCER
AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE
ONLY WAY TO TRY ('TRY, BEING THE KEY WORD) TO ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHNS
HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY.
Cancer Update from Johns 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, gastrointestinal 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 soy 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, 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.
This is an article that should be sent to anyone
important in your life.
