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 colour. 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. 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 putrified 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- essence, 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 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 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

1. No plastic containers in micro.

2. No water bottles in freezer.

3. No plastic wrap in microwave.

Dioxin chemicals causes 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.

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.

From The Impious Digest

Among boys drinking water with 30% to 99% of the fluoride levels recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the risk of osteosarcoma was estimated to be five times as great as among boys drinking nonfluoridated water. At 100% or more, the risk was an estimated seven times as high. The association was greatest for boys six to eight.

Fluoridation and Damage to Tooth Forming Cells
FLUOROSIS: Due to increased exposures to fluoride, millions of children in the U.S. are developing dental fluorosis (damage to tooth-forming cells). Click here to learn more… Dental fluorosis is an irreversible condition caused by excessive ingestion of fluoride during the tooth forming years. It is the first visible sign that a child has been overexposed to fluoride. See Source SITE

——————————————————————————–

Fluoride can only work topically, and is not meant for ingestion. You don’t drink suntan lotion to prevent sunburns, so why should you drink fluoride to prevent tooth decay? Why add it to drinking water?

Harvard Study: In Children, Fluoridation Increases Bone Cancer Risk by 5-7 Times

Does fluoride really help fight tooth decay? Yes, but only if applied topically and NOT ingested.

You don’t drink suntan lotion to prevent sunburns, so why should you drink fluoride to prevent tooth decay? Yet this is the pseudoscience promulgated by Colgate and a few self-serving, amoral dentists on their payroll. Let’s face it, if we all had great teeth, dentistry would die as we know it. It is simply not in the interest of the profession that everyone have healthy teeth. So what to do about it? how about creating bad teeth where none existed before? by any means necessary? By the rabid support of fluoridation by certain dental organizations, you would be understandably suspicious of their motives being somewhat less than benevolent. The fact is, in areas where fluoridation is introduced, you will always see an increase of dental offices, not a decrease. A new dentist won’t set up shop in an area where there is little or no clients.

Hell, why stop at fluoride and suntan lotion? if we must equate topical with internal, then let’s add Desenex to our drinking water too! maybe that will curb the rise in athlete’s foot this summer. Let’s throw in anti-perspirants too! Imagine it: a glass of water that will curb our b.o. before a date! Who cares if we might end up with flipper babies or blindness, right? Topical equates with internal now.

Drinking fluoride, which is what happens when you add it to drinking water, creates a new problem altogether, one that eliminates any possible benefit. Such ingestion may very well introduce a psychoactive carcinogen to the body. Indeed, how many of us are ever told that major anti-depressants such as Prozac and Paxil contain fluoride? Now, this isn’t to demonize these drugs, on the contrary, they are essential. The point is that fluoride contains psychoactive properties which act directly upon the brain and thyroid gland and as we’ll examine herein, adversely affect tooth enamel forming cells in children- ameloblasts. Instead of preventing dental visits, they cause them, and worse, fluorosis is irreversible.

This makes it doubly unwise to add psychoactive chemicals like fluoride haphazardly into our drinking water under the pretext of preventing tooth decay. There’s a reason why western nations have abandoned the pseudoscience of cavity prevention via fluoride ingestion. When it comes to poisoning our drinking water, which is the issue here, make no mistake, we should carefully examine each and every legislator who proposes increased fluoridation, and opposes the elimination of adding fluoride to our drinking water. Some dentists have also formed powerful alliances to fight the fluoridation of our drinking water, to be sure, but they are seldom heard. They have to fight over a half-century of myth and legislation. Their most obvious manifestation of success is the boom in bottled drinking water.

Why do consumers spend 100 billion dollars yearly on bottled drinking water? To avoid fluoride! It’s not like Americans are in the dark about it. Some in the mass media have even questioned our blind embrace of fluoridation; of a pseudoscience that a major Harvard study has linked to bone cancer in children, let alone fluorosis.

For example, consider the next two articles from the Chicago Sun Times and the Wall Street Journal, respectively…

Did prof lie about fluoride-cancer link?

Chicago Sun Times
July 15, 2005

BOSTON — Harvard University said it is investigating whether a dentistry prof essor who edits a newsletter funded by a toothpaste maker played down research showing an increased cancer risk from drinking fluoridated tap water.

The school will work with the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences to review Chester Douglass’ research into fluoride and osteosarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer, Harvard Medical School spokesman John Lacey said.

The institute gave a $1.3 million study grant in 1992 to Douglass, editor of the Colgate Oral Health Report, who found the odds of having osteosarcoma after drinking fluoridated water were ”not statistically different” from the odds for those who drank non-fluoridated water.

But a doctoral student who studied some of the same people reported in her 2001 thesis that boys who drink fluoridated water appear to have an increased risk of developing the bone cancer. AP

Fluoridation, Cancer: Did Researchers Ask The Right Questions?

WALL STREET JOURNAL
Friday 22 July 2005
By Sharon Begley; Page B1

WHEN HEALTH OFFICIALS decided to add fluoride to the water supply of Grand Rapids, Mich., in 1945, they plunged ahead despite the lack of a rigorous, large-scale study of the risks and benefits. And for most of the next 60 years, fluoridation research has gone pretty much like that. It has not been science’s finest hour.

Questions about fluoridation have returned with renewed vigor because of allegations of scientific misconduct against a prominent researcher at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine. The Environmental Working Group, an advocacy organization in Washington, charged last month that Chester Douglass misrepresented an unpublished study about bone cancer and fluoridated tap water. In written testimony to the National Research Council last year, Dr. Douglass said he had found no evidence that fluoridation increased risk of osteosarcoma, a rare bone cancer. But a 2001 study he cited, and oversaw, found that boys who drink fluoridated water have a greater risk of developing the disease. (Dr. Douglass did not respond to requests for comment.)

More interesting than what Dr. Douglass said or didn’t say, however, is the study he swept under the rug. It was conducted by one of his doctoral students, Elise Bassin. She started with the same raw data as her mentor — 139 people with osteosarcoma and 280 healthy “controls” — but saw a way to improve on it. Since most of the 400 people diagnosed in the U.S. each year with osteosarcoma are kids, and since any ill effect of fluoride would likely come when bones are growing most quickly, she focused on the 91 patients who were under 20.

HER RESULT: Among boys drinking water with 30% to 99% of the fluoride levels recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the risk of osteosarcoma was estimated to be five times as great as among boys drinking nonfluoridated water. At 100% or more, the risk was an estimated seven times as high. The association was greatest for boys six to eight.

To be sure, one study proves nothing. Moreover, Dr. Bassin hasn’t published her core findings (though in 2004 she and colleagues published a description of their methodologies). As Boston University epidemiologist Richard Clapp says, “Peer review picks up things that even doctoral students at Harvard might miss.”

So I asked scientists to read the study. BU’s Kenneth Rothman, founding editor of the journal Epidemiology, called it of “publishable quality.” Zeroing in on young patients, he said, was good science: “If there were an adverse effect of fluoride, it’s possible an effect of early exposure would be manifest in the first 20 years of life - but not after.” Looking at all ages, in other words, could conceal any link between fluoridation and cancer.

Besides focusing on kids, Dr. Bassin and her colleagues found out where each cancer patient ever lived, and what kind of water they drank when. Other studies have just noted what water a patient was drinking at the time of diagnosis. The problem with that is, you risk classifying someone as drinking nonfluoridated water who in fact drank fluoridated water when it mattered — in childhood. The result is that the osteosarcoma rates of people drinking fluoridated water might look no different from those of people drinking nonfluoridated. “She did great shoe-leather epidemiology,” says William Maas, head of oral health at the CDC and a supporter of fluoridation.

PREVIOUS STUDIES have been contradictory. A 1991 animal study by the National Toxicology Program concluded that fluoride might raise the risk of osteosarcoma, but only in male rats, not female. Also in 1991, a scientist at the National Cancer Institute found “an unexplained increase” in osteosarcoma in men under 20 in fluoridated communities. Most human studies, though, provide “no credible evidence for an association between fluoride in drinking water and the risk of cancer,” said a 1993 NRC report.

But when you look carefully at the negative studies, you have to wonder. Some investigated a link to all cancers; because osteosarcoma is rare, an increase would be unlikely to show up in that vast sea. Other studies were tiny, or included adults as old as 84, which would wash out effects that target kids. Most categorized osteosarcoma patients as drinking fluoridated or nonfluoridated water based on where they lived at diagnosis, not as kids. Concerned about such lapses, the NRC report called the studies “of limited sensitivity.”

Even if fluoridation causes just a few hundred cases of osteosarcoma every year, does the public health benefit justify that risk? “When we started fluoridating water, we thought to get the benefits it would have to get incorporated into the enamel before the tooth erupted,” which happens only if you swallow it, says the CDC’s Dr. Maas. But that turns out not to be so. Topical fluoride, as in gels and toothpaste, works at least as well.

Most proponents now say fluoridation cuts the rate of tooth decay 18% to 25%. How much is that? Less than one tooth surface. “The absolute impact of 18% or even 25% is low,” says Stephen Levy of the University of Iowa, who supports fluoridation.

The next authoritative report on fluoridation will be the NRC’s. One scientist close to the committee thinks it may be released this fall, months later than expected. “We thought this was going to be routine,” he says. “It wasn’t.” With fluoridation, it seldom is.
