An Alternative Way to Combat the Big C (Cancer)

After years of telling people that Chemotherapy and Radiation are the only way to try and eliminate cancer, John Hopkins is finally starting to tell us that there is an alternative way, which may prove beneficial.

CANCER UPDATE:

• 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 billions.  When doctors tell patients that there are no more cancer cells int heir bodies after treatment, it just means that the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.
• Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.
• When the person's immune system is strong, cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumours.
• When a person has cancer, it indicates that the person has multiple deficiencies.  These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.
• To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.
• Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly growing cancer cells and also destroys the rapidly growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract, etc., and can cause organ damage like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs, etc.
• Radiation, whilst destroying cancer cells, also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.
• Initial treatment with Chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumour size.  However, prolonged use of Chemotherapy and Radiation does not result in more tumour destruction.
• 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.
• 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 parts of the body.
• One of the effective ways to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by bot feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.

WHAT CANCER CELLS FEED ON:

• Sugar is a cancer-feeder.  By cutting off sugar, it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells.  Sugar substitutes like NutaSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc. are made with Aspartame and it is harmful.  A better substitute would be Manuka Honey or Molasses but only in a very small amount.  Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in colour.  Better alternative is Bragg's Aminos or sea salt.
• 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.
• Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment.  A meat-based diet is acidic and it is better 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.
• A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice whole grains, seeds, nuts and little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment.  About 20% can be from cooked food including beans.  Fresh vegetable juices provide 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 Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius).
• 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.
• Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes.  Undigested meat remaining in the intestines becomes putrefied and leads to mote toxic buildup.
• Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering.  By refraining from or eating less meat, it frees more enzymes to attach the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.
• Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-Essence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFA's, etc.) to enable the body's own killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.  Other supplements like Vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing damaged, unwanted or unneeded cells.
• Cancer is a disease of a mind, body and spirit.  A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivour.  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.
• Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment.  Exercising daily and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to cellular level.  Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destory cancer cells.
