Facts about Cancer

Check this out if it's for real...
AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY AND ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHNS HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY .
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
multi plying and forming tumours.

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 no t 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 sub stitute would be
Manuka honey or molasses but only in very small
amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it
white 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 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. Undi gested meat
remaining in the intestines become putrified 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, 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. 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 bi tterness 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.
