John Hopkins Gives Advice on Preventing and Fighting Cancer Through Proper Nutrition

John Hopkins Gives Advice on Preventing and Fighting Cancer Through Proper Nutrition After years of telling people chemotheropy is the only way to try ('try', being the key word) to eliminate cancer. Johns Hopkins now knows there are alternative ways.

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 due 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     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 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 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 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 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 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, it needs to be alkalined if you drink it     The natural way to alkaline it is to squeese fresh lemons in it.     Lemons are alkalining fruit. 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       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 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. 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.
