It was 3 years ago on Labor Day… that I focused on what might be with the Hope of that thought expanding. I decided Hell Over High Water began my effort to organize and put together a website for cancer patients having free access to cancer research via a centralized hub of cancer research. And is my belief the first 30 to 40 blog post in the website accomplished that goal.
Taking the strain from five years before while gathering the information. Started on my quest of finding answers and learning the in’s and out’s about the internet. The Self-Fulfilling Prophecy: which is any positive or negative expectation about circumstance, events or people that may affect a person’s behavior. Most times what you think happen… nothing positive comes from negative thoughts!!!
This behavioral change…. could cause or not cause that expectation to be fulfilled. For example: an employer that expects employees to be disloyal and shirkers.Will likely treat them in away that will elicit the very response “Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure — pressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return.” Luke 6:38
Let’s Be Proactive Not Reactive About Our Health!!
1. Every person has cancer cells in their body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. Thereby when doctors tell cancer patients there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means 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, environmental pollutes, 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, gastrointestinal tract et cetera 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. Finding a Cancer Dietitian?
*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, et cetera 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 making it white in color (A 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 might become starved. (A tip from this John Hopkins Newsletter?) When it comes to soy…. some say it’s bad, some say it’s good, so unless evidence shows that it’s okay, maybe it’s better to avoid having soy altogether. Almond milk is healthier. There is also coconut milk so checkout the nutritional facts for yourself ?
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 fruit helps put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provides live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhances growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (mostly 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. While Green Tea is a better alternative and has cancer fighting properties. With regards to water, it is best to drink purified water, or filtered water, 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. Refraining from or eating less meat 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 (Aloe Vera Juice, IP6, Flor essence, Essiac Tea, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) With Green Juicing & Medicinal Mushrooms enable the body’s own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E known to cause apoptosis, programmed cell death, the body’s own 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 puts the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Also Learn to relax and enjoy life.
16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily and deep breathing helps to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.
1. No plastic containers in microwave.
2. No water bottles in freezer.
3. No plastic wrap in microwave.
John 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 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 is 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. Microwaving actually changes the molecular structure of food. Therefore, Microwaving should never be done by anyone with cancer.
