Prevent/Defeat Cancer:
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.
Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a
person's
lifetime.
When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells
will be
destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.
When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple
nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic,
environmental, food and lifestyle factors.
To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing
diet
and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.
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:
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.
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 people
with cancer.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 todestroy
cancer cells. Nikken offers a 5 stage hepa-filtered, negative
ion creating air purifier; living water purifier and more for
this reason.
