JOHN HOPKINS ARTICLE ON CHEMOTHERAPY-EXCELLENT

[Marebear57]

Johns Hopkins Update.  Good article.

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.

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.

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, 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 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 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 (not the same as filtered)  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.

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=2 0Reed 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 Cast le 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=2 0fat, 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.
