The Answer To Cancer?

By on May 2, 2013

“Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the body. Cancerous cells are also called malignant cells.”  ~National Library of Medicine~

 

Having helped many cancer, I’ve come to find the causes are many and genetics play a small role. As a child our genes can dictate much, but as adults, it is our diet and lifestyle. It is true that we all have the potential to be diagnosed with cancer, and this is precisely why prevention is key. Many live their lives AS IF they are invincible. That, and they become accustomed to thinking fat and/or fatigue are a normal part of aging, – that, or living a life on prescription drugs is what nature intended.

With both parents (father at 37, mother at 64) gone of cancer, I’ve become very proactive with prevention. In doing so, most days I feel better than I did in my 20’s (and I’ll be 50 this year). Had it not been for some structural injuries, I’d be unstoppable! Though, I’ve also come to read and experience that my times of rest are what recharge my energy and creativity. A win-win.

The following list from Joh Hopkins was sent to me by a dear friend, and as he states… much on this list is what I’ve  saying for more than a decade. However, in italics and in bold, you will see my

 

Cancer Update from Johns 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.

  • This goes for any test that is done. A clean bill of health is no reason to not take your health seriously. As my former employer would say…

 

2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person’s lifetime.

  • I truly believe this and know without a doubt that I’d be on my way to a terminal case had I not begun detoxing my body and getting out a huge thing from my liver.

3. When the person’s immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.

  • Agreed!

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.

  • As a child, issues are more of genetic nature… as an adult, diet and lifestyle (which includes environment, thoughts) are to blame.  

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.

  • This is a great start – for faster, longer lasting results… detox is needed. The body cannot absorb real food or nutrients very well unless it is clean. And chewing food to a liquid is key.

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.

  • Yep, Yep! I saw mother age a good 20 years after just 3 rounds of chemotherapy. Do your homework – know the consequences. This type of therapy buys you time, nothing more.

7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.

  • Indeed it does! Aloe is excellent for this, but not some store bought expensive brand. A real plant blended. 

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.

  • Nope! They are expensive band-aids… they merely buy you time without getting to root cause of problem. You don’t treat poison (cancer) with poison (chemo and radiation).

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.

  • Food can be our Farmacy – the more colors, the more vitamins. Garlic is just one way to boost immune as are probiotics, but not some fancy packaged ones… organic raw and/or homemade kefir, kombucha, sauerkraut, etc.

10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Suger can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.

  • Sugar should be a 4-letter word. It does not equal love.

11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.

  • Detox and especially do a parasite cleanse. Don’t feed sugar. Cancer cannot live in an oxygenated environment. 

 

*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.

  • Aspartame (like MSG) are excitotoxins… they can excite the brain to death! They are the crack cocaine of the food industry. After reading the book, Water & Salt it made prefect sense that table salt takes energy to digest. Sea salt, because of polluted oceans is often processed and also takes energy to digest. Himalayan (good quality) on the other hand, gives your body energy because of the 84 minerals it has. So much so that an experiment was done… 2 electrodes attached to a light bulb were placed in a glass of tap water, nothing happened. Same electrodes were placed in a glass of himalayan salt water (such as Fuji), the light bulb lit up.

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 Almond milk cancer cells are being starved.  (read labels to avoid carrageenan).

  • Best to make your own almond milk. Pasteurized IS very mucus forming. Raw milk was used to heal people of much (back in the 1920″s) by forerunners to Mayo Hospital… because of its high probiotic content and cleansing affect. There is no one-size-fits-all, but this is worthy of mention. Mucus causes many cysts and tumors. My Ageless Aging book has a 3 day Mucus Cleanse that helps your body eliminate a gallon of toxic lymph fluid a day. This will be MY Spring Cleaning this year!

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.

  • Agreed, however… anyone with cancer needs to give their body a break – allow it to heal itself. Difficult to heal when energy going to digest meat. This is where healing broths/soups and juices come in handy.

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)..

  • Water with lemon is another way to alkalinize the body. Warm to hot water with lemon first thing in the morning helps stimulate both digestion and liver to release waste. Aluminum free baking soda in a lil water also great for alkalinizing. I like adding Vitamin C crystals and raw apple cider vinegar to it. A natural plop plop fizz fizz, that without added water can be used as a face scrub.

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.

  • If drinking green tea (or any of these) buy organic. Pesticidies/Herbicides are not body friendly. Distilled water is useful when detoxing. Because it is empty, it helps pull more waste out. 

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.

  •  Couldn’t agree more. Thus limiting or eliminating until well, and always… chew food to a liquid. Use teeth as a garbage disposal to chop to the tiniest of pieces!

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.

  •  Not even animals eat as much meat as humans. This is why I mentioned healing broths.

14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence, 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.

  •  Gotta love supplements!

15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit.

  •  Agreed and forgiveness is huge. We hurt ourselves more by not forgiving. Ahh…

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.

  •  Had a lady referred to me that 

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.

  •  Agreed!

1. No plastic containers in micro.

  •  No micro would be better.

2. No water bottles in freezer.

  •  Get rid of plastic. Room temp is more body friendly.

3. No plastic wrap in microwave..

  • Why nook? No plastic period!

 

Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Centers 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, Pyrexor 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.
