Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins

. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells donot show up in the standard Tests until they have multiplied to a fewbillion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no morecancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the testsare unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reachedthe 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 bedestroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.
4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiplenutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic,environmental, food and lifestyle(lack of sleep) factors.
5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing dietand including supplements will strengthen the immune system.
6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cellsand also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow,gastro-intestinaltr act etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver,kidneys, heart, lungs etc.
7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars anddamages healthy cells, tissues and organs.
8. Initialtreatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reducetumor size. However prolongeduse of chemotherapy and radiation do notresult in more tumor destruction.
9 When the body has too muchtoxic burden from chemotherapy andradiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hencethe person can succumb to various kinds of infections andcomplications.
10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutateandbecome resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also causecancer cells to spreadto other sites.
11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starvethe cancer cells bynot feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.
CANCER CELLS FEED ON:
A. Sugaris a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off oneimportant food supply to the cancer cells.Sugar substitutes likeNutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it isharmful.. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey ormolasses but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemicaladded to make it white in color. Better alternative is Bragg's aminosor sea salt.
B. Milkcauses the body to produce mucus, especially in thegastro-intestinaltr act. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milkand substituting with unsweetened soya milk cancer cells are beingstarved.
C. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet isacidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather thanbeef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growthhormonesand parasites, which are all harmful, especially to peoplewith 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 alkalineenvironment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans.Fresh vegetable juicesprovide live enzymes that are easily absorbedand reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish andenhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for buildinghealthy cells, try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetablesincluding bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times aday. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40degrees C).
E. Avoidcoffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Greentea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties. Water-- best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxinsand heavy metals in tapwater.. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.
12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot ofdigestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestinesbecome putrified and leads to more toxic buildup.
13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refrainingfrom or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the proteinwalls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroythe cancer cells.
14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence,Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs, etc.) to enable thebody's own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplementslike vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death,the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, orunneeded cells.
15. Cancer is a disease of themind, body, and spirit. A proactiveandpositive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger,unforgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidicenvironment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit.. Learn torelax and enjoy life.
16.. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment.Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down tothe cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed todestroy cancer cells.

• No plastic containers in micro.
• No water bottles in freezer.
• No plastic wrap in microwave.

Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. Thisinformation is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center aswell.
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 releasesdioxins from the plastic.
Recently, Dr. Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at CastleHospital , was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. Hetalked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that weshould not be heating our food in the microwave using plasticcontainers.
This especially applies to foods that contain fat. He said that thecombination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into thefood and ultimately into the cells of the body. Instead, herecommends using glass, such as CorningWare, Pyrex or ceramiccontainers for heating food. You get the same results, only withoutthe dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant 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'sjustsafer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He reminded us that awhile ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foamcontainers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons.
Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just asdangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. Asthe food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actuallymelt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food witha paper towel instead.
