Cancer Update from JohnS Hopkins:

THIS INTERESTING EMAIL JUST CAME TO MY ATTENTION:

AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY
IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY ('TRY', BEING THE KEY WORD) TO ELIMINATE CANCER,
JOHNS 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 *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*.
*Nutra sweet, Equal spoonful** **Aspartame Manuka** **Molasses**.*

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 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 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.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Dioxin Update~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters.

*1. **No **plastic containers** in micro.** *
*2. **No water bottles in freezer. *
*3. **No plastic wrap in microwave.. *

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.

*Walter Reed **DR. Edward Fujimoto Saran
This** is an article that should be sent to anyone important in your life.*
