John Hopkins Update - Good article



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...







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 20 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
gastrointestinal 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 becomes
putrefied and leads to more toxic build-up.

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, Florescence,
Essiac, anti-oxidants,20 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 microwave.

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
Cast le 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.

This is so true,I found this out when my mother, lost her battle with Lymphoma- B-cell.

Thank you.

Damn. Look's like I'm going to throw that water bottle away. Thanks for the info.

That's a load of ***. His finds need to be based on intensive and accurate research. Only then he could make those statements. I've worked in both worlds: alternative and conventional. Conclusion? My alternative MD ended up in jail and most patients died. Now I'll demonstrate what's wrong with his statements:

3. Usually the immune system does not differentiate between cancer cells and normal cells; an immune response is triggered only when foreign organisms enter our bodies (bacteria, viruses, etc). Most of the cancer patients have normal immune systems - so having a "strong" immune system to prevent cancer is again a lot of ***.

6. Indeed chemo is a poison but patients are closely monitored to prevent any of the side effects listed (renal failure, etc)

7. Radiation MIGHT (he states it as a fact) cause burns/scars etc - usually patients will experience a slight "sun-burn" which will go away.

8. Radiation and chemo reduce tumor size and sometimes even cures 100%; however, if there is no benefit it should be stopped, therefore "prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation" should not apply.

9. "When the body has too much toxic burden 20 from chemotherapy and
radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed" - when there is too much toxic burden the treatments are postponed to allow the body to recover; if it's not working, the MD could order some booster shots that will bring the immune system back to normal

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 the same way normal cells feed. I guess by starving yourself to death you will be killing the cancer, including yourself.

Sugar feeds the cancer? Indeed you idiot, but not only the cancer cells, it's the entire body. Sugar to the body it's like gas to the car. Controlling the glycemia (sugar in blood) it's a very complex mechanism which no one should interfere with. Having a low blood sugar could lead to various complications, including coma and even death!

I'm tired of continuing with this non-sense...anyway I'm sure he recommends his wonderful vitamin and mineral supplements for $29.99/bottle. I'm not denying the health benefits of eating a balanced diet (which should include meat as well) but he makes outrageous statements without backing them up. Just my 2 cents.

I read your rebuttal, where did you get this info from?

From my 6 years experience working with cancer patients in the hospital and 2 more working in an alternative med clinic.

great post... ty
