Johns Hopkins Cancer Update - Fight Cancer Everyday!

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
    nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic,
    but also to environmental, food and lifestyle  factors.

5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing
    diet to eat more adequately and healthy, 4-5 times/day 
       and by 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 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 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 other meat,
     like chicken. 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 be an 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 e 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-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins,  minerals,
      EFAs etc.) to enable  the bodies 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.

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 cause 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.
