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 but 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 other kinds of infections
and complications.
10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate
and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery (including
biopsy) 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 amino's or sea salt.
b. Milk causes the body to produce
mucus, especially in the gastrointestinal 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 fruit
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: it is 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 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, EFA's 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 body, mind, 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. So - 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(especially hyper baric oxygen).

Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well.
Dioxin Carcinogens 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
presented by dioxins. He talked about these chemicals 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.
No plastic containers in microwave.
No water bottles in freezer.
No plastic wrap in microwave.
