Useful Information 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 that
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 that 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 lifestyle 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 could cause organ
damages, to the liver, kidneys, the 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 using 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 food it needs to multiply.

CANCER CELLS FEED ON:

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 honey or molasses, but
only in very small amount. Table salt has a chemical added to make it
white in colour. Better alternative is sea salt.

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.

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 cancer
patients.

A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and fruits, whole grains, seeds
and nuts help creating an alkaline environment in the body. The
remaining 20% of diet could be cooked food including beans. Fresh
vegetable or fruit juice 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).

Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high content of
caffeine. Green Tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting
properties. Water - best to drink purified or filtered water, to
avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Avoid distilled
water which is acidic.

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. Improved immune system enables the body's own killer cells
to destroy cancer cells. Natural Vitamin E is known to cause
apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of
disposing of damaged, unwanted cells.

15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A
proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior to become
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.
