>                              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, 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.
>
>                               WHAT 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 sma ll amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make
> it
> w h i te 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 t o 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 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 e nzymes 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. The 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. Daily exercise and deep breathing helps to get
> more
> oxygen down to the cellular level.. Oxygen therapy is another means
> employed
> to destroy cancer cells.
