Cancer News from Johns Hopkins University
June 2, 2007

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 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 soya 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
(My addition: It is best to leave animal foods alone, nutrients derived
from
fish and chicken can be derived from many plant-based foods).

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 purified
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 pro-active 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 microwave. 2. NO personal use water bottles
in
freezer.
3. NO plastic wrap in microwave.

FALSE - "An email falsely attributed to Johns Hopkins describing properties of cancer cells and suggesting prevention strategies has begun circulating the Internet. Johns Hopkins did not publish the email, entitled "Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins," nor do we endorse its contents. For more information about cancer, please read the information on our web site or visit the National Cancer Institute's web site at www.cancer.gov. Another hoax email that has been circulating since 2004 regarding plastic containers, bottles, wrap claiming that heat releases dioxins which cause cancer also was not published by Johns Hopkins. More information."
