Preventing cancer

[Harry Babb]

A friend sent me the information below. I did not check to see how valid it is but it certainly makes good sense to me.

Thought I would share with you guys......may buy us more Bertram time

Here it is..............


Johns Hopkins Update – This is an extremely good article. Everyone
should
read it.

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
nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic,
but also to environmental, food and lifestyle factors.
5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing
diet to eat more adequately and healthy, 4-5 times/day
and by 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 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 other meat,
like chicken. 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 be an 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 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 Reed 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 Castle 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 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.

Please share this with your whole email list.........................
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.

Harry- That's a long document and I can't comment on all of it, but I heartily agree that in no way is Chemotherapy a cure. It's an attempt to slow down what they don't know how to handle. I have unfortunately had the experience of losing my first wife and sister to that dread disease and have been battling it again for 2 1/2 years with my second wife. Hopefully, this time we'll win. Chemo was then (30 years ago), and still is an experiment. Only the chemicals have changed. You hit it right between the eyes when you used the word "try". I can't tell you how many times I heard that word when after months of a stable condition, the patient went downhill and I was told by the Oncologist, "maybe we'll try another chemical and see how she tolerates that".
The chemicals put in your body are pure and simple poison. The body fights it the best it can. You throw up because you're rejecting it. You're weakened just like you'd be with a high fever...because you're rejecting it. Your hair falls out and your nails stop growing because the chemicals are killing growth. The miracle of the human body brings you back over time, and then they do it all over again, and again until they're afraid to do it any more. You're maxed out. Do they know if they were successful, hell no! If you live one day past five years, they claim success!
Yes, you recover from all that. Your hair grows back as do your nails. And as that happens, so does your spirit. But rest assured, that person is not the same person they were before. You're frailer and more succeptable to all kinds of infections as your immune system has been compromised and your bone density is diminished.
I too believe the answer is in our bodies ability to fight it and maintain a "normal" balance. I also believe it is somehow environmental. Why is it oriental women have such a lower incedence of breast cancer in the orient, yet one generation in the western world and their percentages are exactly the same? Why does Nassau and Suffolk counties in NY have the highest percentage per capita of Breast Cancer in the country? What's the trigger that sets it off?
This Johns Hopkins report gives me hope that someone is looking somewhere else for the solution because I haven't seen much of a difference in Chemotherapy treatments from the 1980's to 2011. Someone meaningful is finally looking outside of the box! Thank you God.

Wait a year, a new report will come out saying the old report is wrong.

The fact is despite all the billions in medical research spent, its still a crap shoot. Drs. and researchers just don't know.

I had a good friend who never drank, smoked and ate about as healthy as humingly possible. Died at 53 from cancer.

Live life as if today is the last and accept the fact that after you die your stuff is either gonna be sold by ungrateful family, taken by the state or enjoyed by Fabio inbetween putting it to the old lady.

[randall]

there are no guarantees ....only odds. i live on cereal and salad....but its about heart disease not cancer. genetics are the biggie.

[Charlie J]

you never know whats going to trigger it, 7 years and counting

[bob lico]

randall that is why i was hoping to die in a race boat accident at 95 years old .to break the chain of genetics. every single person in my family has die from cancer on both sides including my 47 year old sister with young children. every damm form you can think off; brain, stomach,blood, liver and most below 70 years old.the worst part was some of the men like my father .a tough guy with great build and health slowly withering awat till he was 80 lbs. i will look for the perfect storm when the read me the riot act!!!

[Harry Babb]

My mother in law did not smoke or drink at all....but constantly breathed second hand smoke generated by my fathe in law.

She died at the young age of 48 from breast cancer and fought it for 2 years before she died.

I am coming up on year #5 from having being diagnosed and treated for prostate cancer.......cancer does not run in my family..AT ALL....my family, both sides, all die from heart disease or doing stupid stuff.

Not a day goes by that I don't think of my situation....if I think there is something that I may be able to do to extend my life I will certainly give it consideration.

I guess as soon as I eat this bunch of carrots, I will go to the oxygen bar for a sniff or two

Cancer is such a dreadful disease.....I watched my mother in law drag on and die after a 2 year battle....not a pretty sight

harry iam with you came down with mine when i was 49, found out right before the montauk rendezous, would of never known if it was not for a simple blood test, i tell everyone to start being tested at 40 not 50 as they recommend, no heart problems on my side of the family all cancer and an occasional old age

Interesting post. I can comment on a couple of factors they mentioned only because my nephew is going through treatment for an aggressive Brain Tumor.

He is in a trial program at Duke University. Having great success by like everything else there are no guarantees. It will be a year this weekend that he was diagnosed with the tumor.

Duke told him to stay away from processed sugars because the tumor he had thrives on processed sugar and then they told him an acidic body is also prone to cancer. You will see that those are two things noted in your post.

My sister in her quest to help him found a Nutrionist in Ocean City NJ who is only one of six nutriionist in the country who are able to take and read blood tests. She basis her nutrional therapy on those tests. Not just on what you tell her your diet is but what your blood test shows.

That will probably be his next step. His wife is scared to let him go that route but whatever he does, he will remain in the Duke program.

Harry: Hope your doing ok.. you ever been in the military? Viet Nam maybe?

Harry: Hope your doing ok.. you ever been in the military? Viet Nam maybe?

Nope! ! ! Got out of high school in 1969 and at that time my biggest fear was that I would get drafted.

I am glad that I missed Viet Nam but do feel like I missed something in life by avoiding the military.

I was told that welding fumes release Cadimum. During my diagnosis I was strictly instruced not to be around welding fumes because of the effect on Prostate.

I have been around a lot of welding and shop oils.....but other than that I have no idea what I could have done to contract Prostate Cancer.

Statitics has it that 33% of all white males will get prostate cancer before they turn 65 and that if we live long enough we will all have prostate cancer.

In blacks the percentage is 50%.

I am okay....PSA test are 0.000 and I am coming up on 5 years in October.

But like I said....not a day goes by that I don't think about it.
