Cancer Update

You may have read that this Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins is not actually from the Authority but I feel still worth a look. I have incorporated some medical views which are quite agreeable to original text. (see highlighted notes in brackets)

1. Every person has some cancer cells in the body. They do not show up in the standard tests till multiplied to a few billions. 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.

(Cancer tumors do not show up in diagnostic tests if they are shrunk into micro tumors in your body and can lie dormant for many years before full remission.)

2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.

(Everyone has cancer cells present at times in our body.  Cancer does not develop overnite but gradually over a period of many years.  Driven by the increase in life expectancy, the incidence of lifestyle-related cancers is picking up tremendously to become a trend in our modern society.)

3 When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.

(Cancer cells simply cannot grow in an environment that is rich in plant-based nutrients and based on healthy, natural living. Even if a spoilt cell tried to mutate and become cancerous on its own, it cannot achieve long-term success in replicating inside your body being surrounded by healthy cells and bathed in anti-cancer nutrients carried to it each day in your blood. Failing to receive adequately the right food, it will shrivel up and actually lose their blood supply before dying off. Of course, if you eat junk food, it is happily fed the right food.

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.

(Research has showed that by increasing intake of a balanced diet and supplement with proper nutrients can inhibit the growth of cancerous cells.  For instance, those who are vitamin D deficient for about 20 years can supplement it and see a drastic improvement of 77% of all cancers and more with nutrients like selenium, Omega3 and Vitamin C.)


5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.

(Daily supplements are widely used by cancer patients to fight the cancer vigorously or make them feel better.  There are studies which showed that sufficient nutrition could help patients by improving survival rates and reducing post-operative complications by 80%)

                                            A HEALTHY CELL

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 from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.

(Surgery, chemotherapy or radiation therapy may weaken a cancer patient's body physiology system and cause some side effects and feeling of discomfort.  The most common problems are poor appetite, constipation, anemia, malnutrition, weight loss, mood swings and low immunity.)

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.

(Though we recognise the few cancer treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation or surgery do help to reduce the tumor size in the initial stage, but prolonged use of such treatments will also destroy rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastro-intestinal tract etc and can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. At this point in time, the body urgently requires you to pump in large doses of nutrients to improve and strengthen your stamina.)

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 just as harmful. Hence, to support cancer cell division and growth, simply consume lots of sugar especially refined sugar.

ALL DIET CARBONATED DRINKS CONTAIN ASPARTAME AND ARE POISONOUS.

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 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 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, especially pork, 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 enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.

(In essence, there is an urgent need to create an internal biological environment in which cancer tumors just cannot grow at all. Ideally, you should switch to a more alkaline diet that is rich in vegetables and green foods rather than acidic substances such as sugar, fried foods, meat and caffeine.)

14. Some supplements build up the immune system (eg. anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals) to enable the bodies own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E and selenium are known to cause apoptosis (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.

(GERMANIUM is one of the oxygen-rich substance that can be used as to target and detect the cancer cells in the body and with the high oxygen level, can help to inhibit their growth.)

What to avoid -

1. No plastic containers in micro.

2. No water bottles in freezer.

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.

3. No plastic wrap in microwave.

This especially applies to heating fat foods in plastic wrap. The combination of fat, high heat and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body.

OUR COMMENTS

Combining a positive attitude, some regular exercise, good sleep, stress reduction habits and strict avoidance of cancer-causing foods and chemicals, you are on your way to block virtually all tumor growth in your body.

Instead of growing cancer tumors, you can start growing healthy cells that will quickly overpower any diseased cells!

"Information falsely attributed to Johns Hopkins called, 'CANCER UPDATE FROM JOHN HOPKINS' describes properties of cancer cells and suggests ways of preventing cancer. Johns Hopkins did not publish the information, which often is an email attachment, nor do we endorse its contents. To gain credibility, the anonymous authors falsely attribute their work to respected research institutions like Johns Hopkins.

Though the above text is not from the quoted Authority mentioned, the writer seemed to have a profound understanding on the biological mechanism of the basic composition of the human anatomy. In fact the 'facts' or 'half facts' presented correspond to the beliefs of TCM (traditional chinese medicine) in many respects. Briefing through the refutes made on the link site does not imply baseless opinions and much differences in findings. Picking a few tips can even benefit anyone in keeping a healthier body.
