    CANCER UPDATE FROM JOHN HOPKINS HOSPITAL
     Useful Information on one of the deadliest diseases
     of our time: CANCER. 
     
    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  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 w ater, 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 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,  Floressence, 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.

    1. No plastic containers in micro. 
    2. No water bottles in freezer. 
    3. No plastic wrap in microwave. 
     
    John 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.
