Johns Hopkins Cancer Breakthrough

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 multiplying  and
    forming tumors. 

4. When a person has  cancer it indicates the person  has
    nutritional  deficiencies. These could be du e to  genetic,
    but also  to environmental, food and lifestyle  factors. 

5. To overcome the  multiple nutritional  deficiencies, changing
    diet to  eat more adequately and healthy, 4-5 times/day  
       and by 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
     re du ce 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  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 pro du ce 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 other meat, 
     like  chicken. 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 be an 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 e 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
      buil du p. 

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 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 micro. 

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 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. 
Please share this with  your whole email list.........................  

 
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.
