Useful Info on One of the Deadliest Diseases of Our Time: Cancer

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 multiplyin g and forming tumours.
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 imm une 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 Feeds On:

1. 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.
2. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the
   gas tro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk
   and substituting with unsweetened soya milk cancer cells are being starved.
3. 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.
4. 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).
5. 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.
6. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes.
   Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become putrefied and leads
   to more toxic buildup.
7. 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.
8. 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 d estroy 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
