John Hopkins Update on Cancer

 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 thishealth 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.

How to remain happy everyday

 I found this great blogger - Hamazi.  Here just one of his writing.  Check him out @ http://change-today.blogspot.com/2011/04/ow-to-remain-happy-everyday.html

How to Remain Happy Everyday


Have you came across or known someone before who seems to be happy almost everyday of their lives? If you have, I am sure you have wondered what their secret is and how you can also feel the same way as them. After all, the main reason behind all the things we want is only because we think that we would feel happier after getting the things we want, be it a healthier body, a better partner, a better career or anything else.

So how can you remain happy everyday? Or how can you actually learn how to 'practice' happiness? Here are three simple ways to help you get started.

1. Practicing gratitude.
By practicing gratitude and being thankful for the things you have, you will find it a lot easier to be happy with what you already have in your life. Just take a look at someone who is unhappy and you would find that most of the time it is because they are actually expecting or wanting something that they currently do not have in their lives. This actually prevents them from being happy with the things they already have!

Not practicing gratitude is probably the main cause of unhappiness, and all of us fall into this bad habit sometimes. But the more you start to become thankful for the things you have in life, the more happy and joyous you will be!

2. Laughter
Like the old cliché always go: Laughter is the best medicine. I am sure that you already know that it is actually really difficult to laugh and still be unhappy for long. In fact, laughter is currently probably the best or strongest cure for unhappiness now. The reason behind this is because laughter actually helps to takes the edge off of something bad and clears your mind of worry and anxiety.

Maybe you would think that if something is really bad, you would not be able to laugh or feel like laughing. But that is totally not true at all, and that is also the best thing about laughter - it is quite difficult to control and can happen anytime whether you like it a not. Laughter is almost uncontrollable, spontaneous, yet wonderful at the same time. So start keeping a collection of funny movies or recordings of great comedians, and make laughter a part of your life!

3. Having a sense of purpose and growing
Usually, the main cause of emotional pain and unhappiness is because one feels that his life lacks a sense of direction or purpose and that his growth is stagnant. Everybody requires something in their lives that will be able to provide them with a sense of purpose and also allowing them to grow at the same time. Thus just by having a strong sense of purpose and having constant growth, one would be able to remain happy.

So what are you waiting for? Start practicing these 3 simple yet effective techniques now, and watch happiness flow into your life!
