AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY (TRY THE KEY WORD) AND ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHN HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY

Cancer Update from John 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 multiple nutritional deficiencie s. 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 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 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 gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soya 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 no urish 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. Undigested 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-ssen ce,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 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.

CANC ER UPDATE FROM JOHN HOPKINS HOSPITAL , U S – PLEASE READ

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 ReedArmy Medical Center as well.
Dioxin chemicals causes 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.

Great info in fact I printed it out…...
Thanks again. This is my third time in 4 years I have been battling this darn breast cancer…
This info will be helpful
Cheryl58

I sure hope the info helps you some. three times in four years, ouch…...I will add you to my prayer list in hopes that you will do ok with no more recurrence…...

Yeay ! Yippee! in the 1980’s I went to p training, not having ANY IDEA what I was in for…
..
Long story short – they admitted they knew the natural cures for breast cancer and others (most)
but
would not teach dktrs (they own the schools)
because
they can not patent the natural helps. (like vit a for luke; well known in europe and meico)
..
My wife got latrile in st.louis after she was dignosed with 3 months to live.
That was in or about 1988.
She was FREE OF CANCER by 1989
and is still alive (as far as we know:) )
Dr.David Ball had gone to mex 20 years earlier and gotten cured of skin cancer without cutslashorburn (I met several people who went
to mex and returned whole and complete
at low cost recovered from various stages)
He was very successful importing and using latrile for cancer patints AND ESPECIALLY FOR PAIN PAIN PAIN , YES FOR PAIN - Laetrile (and other enzymes also RE Maureen Salaman) is one of the BEST pain relievers and has NO BAD EFFECTS and NO WITHDRAWAL symptoms)

all of this is interesting. I wish I could find some natural supplement good for pain that would work on the pain from femara….Anyone know of anythng from arthritis induced pain in joints?

Please read the following…

The article you posted is not true…from John Hopkins…

whoops….I should have checked it out when I received it in email I guess….Oh well it sounded good….

Hey Judy,

I just can’t believe how many people I talk to and it’s a shame that more and more people are being diagnosed with cancer. I really wonder if it is our environment sometimes. I just wonder…..... ya know.

My BC did not show up a my mammogram too. My lump was almost to my collar bone area. But I can honestly say that I know I am doing everything possible to prevent the BC from coming back. I have two boys 5 & 7 and I want to be around a long time for them. That is the worst thing to hear from your kids “Mom are you going to die?” I am very open and honest with my boys and tell them to ask me anything they want and we talk about everything. They are so excited that my hair is growing back. They told me – “look mom you are getting better, your hair is coming back”.

Enjoy every day!

Doris.

for pain, there is a simple, several simple helps.
that work better than prscrptins items. read maureen salamans books.
including “nutrition the cancer answer”
and other by dr.max gerson,
carey reams,
krebs,
hoxsey, et al et al et al….

the truth is cancer is a deficiency disease, and can almost always be remedied nutrionally – people have even cured themselves by dietary means.
.

also, see”G-d’s Key to Health and Happiness” by pastor josephson (available from ks, his wife is over 80 and still making it available).
.

DO NOT TURST the ama – they R controlled by $$$..

but do what you want, ...
