CANCER UPDATE FROM JOHN HOPKINS

CANCER UPDATE FROM JOHN HOPKINS
Just some good information to know!

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 deficiencies. 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 colour. 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 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 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 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-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.

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.

CANCER 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 Reed Army Medical Center as well. Dioxin chemicals causes cancer, especially breast cancer.
< B>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.

Protect Our Environment

Filed under: Health, Motivational, Personal Interests — Linda @ 4:13 pm

Many of you Stay Home Moms have visited my site www.TriCountyMoms.com . YOu then are aware of “my mission”. Stop harming our environment by using the products that have the harmful chemicals. Using a grocery store brand IS NOT in the best interest for your health or the environment.
Please take a look at this information I found. See how YOU can make a difference by making a few of these changes within your own home.
Environmental Action Checklist

Save Energy!

Conduct an energy audit of your home and workplace. Turn off unnecessary lights. Insulate well. Purchase energy-efficient appliances. Install compact fluorescent light bulbs.

Start an environmental training group in your community center, favorite club or religious home to encourage others to make their homes more energy efficient. You and the group could distribute healthy-environment materials from this web site and other sources, sponsor workshops and help install energy-saving materials in the homes of your friends, colleagues and other people who need assistance.

Drive less. Carpool or use mass transportation. This saves gas, reduces pollution and cuts down on traffic.

When you buy a car, select an energy-efficient model.

Recycle. It is especially important to recycle aluminum.

Advocate for community, city, state and national recycling programs if your area does not yet have them.

Support and encourage local energy utilities to promote energy efficiency and increase use of renewable energy. If your utility companies do not offer energy audits and discounts for energy-saving measures, encourage them to do so.

Support government policies and legislation that promote energy efficiency and renewable energy.

Fight Air Pollution, Acid Rain, and Global Warming!

Use energy-efficient appliances and heating and cooling systems in your home.

Encourage energy audits in your businesses, religious institutions, schools, and other locations. Your local utilities may help and may have lists of companies that will refit facilities to be energy efficient.

Plant trees. A healthy community has 40% tree coverage on its land. How does your community score?

Keep your car well-maintained and perform regular emissions inspections to reduce pollution and cut gas bills. Encourage your business, community school and other institutions with vehicles to do the same.

Maintain your lawnmower. Badly maintained lawnmowers are responsible for a significant share of air pollution. If possible, use non-gasoline-powered landscaping and gardening equipment.

Support mass transit and other alternatives to single-passenger, gasoline-powered cars for commuting in your community and region.

Reduce junk mail. Producing junk mail uses energy and trees, causes pollution and requires energy to dispose of. Reduce the amount of junk mail you receive by as much as 75%! Request that your name be removed from lists and not be sold to new mailing companies. Send your request to:

Mail Preference Service - U.S., Direct Marketing Association, 11 West 42nd St., PO. Box 3861, New York, NY 10163-3861

Mail Preference Service - Canada, Canadian Direct Marketing Association, 1 Concorde Gate, Suite 607, Don Mills, Ontario N3C 3N6

Urge the government to invest in the research and use of renewable and non-polluting energy sources.

Take and interest and protect your planet!!

Our Kids are Home!!

Filed under: Personal Interests — Linda @ 7:51 pm

Well the summer vacation has started here in Florida. This is the time to stop and enjoy our children and cherrish these times with them. You know before you know it they will not want to spend time with us parents! So with that in mind enjoy them and make those summer memories.

Now, what is everyone doing to make these summer weeks go by smoothly? I will tell you my 13 year old is volunteering 3 days a week at the local pre school. She loves it! Hooray!!!!
You know there are so many non profits that would love to have children volunteer. Call them and see what you have in your area. I am not sure what is required in your area but community hours are required for students to graduate high schools. Get them use to volunteering NOW!
Let me know what you’re up to.

Loving Summer,
Linda
