Cancer Update from John  Hopkins

AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY  ('TRY' IS THE KEY WORD) AND ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHN 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 st rengthen 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 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 als o 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 aci dic, avoid it.
