CANCER

I received an email about cancer prevention. Boy, how it freaks me out! If you're a health fanatic, here goes.

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 wi! ll! be destroyed and prevented from
multiplying 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 tumour size. However prolonged use
of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more
tumour 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 need
to multiply.

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.

b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially
in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer fe! ed! s on
mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with
unsweetened soya milk cancer cells are being starved.
Milo, Ovaltine, Horlicks are made with milk and best
avoided.

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,
parasites, etc which are all harmful to people with
cancer.

d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice,
whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits helps
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.

e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have
caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has
cancer-fighting properties.

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, EFAs etc) to enable the body's own killer
cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements
(Maitake e.g.) are known to cause cancer cells
apoptosis, that is, induce cancer cells to commit.

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, enjoy and trust God for
healing.

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.

17. Cancer can be reversed with nutrition, supplements
and clinically proven complementary and alternative
therapies.

18. Cancer can be healed by divine intervention of God
the Healer.
