Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins:
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 acidic environment. A meat-based diet is
acidic so 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 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.
f. 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.
g. 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.
h. 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.
i. 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.
j. 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.
