LATEST CANCER INFORMATION

AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY AND 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 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 foods it needs to multiple.

What 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. Note: 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 soy milk, cancer cells will 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 t o 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 will 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-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.

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, unforgiving 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.

Keep The Body Alkaline For Optimum Health

-From Natural News Oct 20,2009

Our bodies are alkaline by design and acid by function. This means that our bodies function more efficiently when slightly alkaline, but bodily functions, such as digestion, are acid producing. So what can we do to ensure that our bodies remain more alkaline and balanced?

The human body's metabolic process is naturally acid producing. However, this waste needs to be neutralized or "balanced" so it can be safely eliminated from the body without damaging tissues and organs that are responsible for detoxifying the body. Alkalinity is needed to neutralize and balance acidity. The presence of alkalinity in the body's acid producing environment is counteractive to the onset of illness and disease and also prevents decomposition.

"Acidosis" refers to an acid pH. It is an imbalanced acidic condition of all bodily fluids. Almost all cellular functions in the body are sensitive to the pH of their fluids. If the pH falls too far to the acidic side the cells become poisoned in their own toxic wastes and will die. All chemical processes have an ideal pH. Your blood should have a pH of 7.35 - 7.45.

Many studies show that people with a correct blood pH enjoy good health; whereas, people with a low, or acidic, pH are more likely to be ill. The slightest imbalance can cause serious illness and disease.The body will do whatever it must to maintain the blood pH balance, and will continually steal acid-neutralizing minerals from wherever necessary, such as calcium from bones and teeth. The blood will dump the acid into other body organs in an effort to detoxify itself. The organs then dump the acid back into the blood, creating a vicious cycle of trying to rid itself of acidity. This cycle can be ended with a properly balance pH.


Symptoms of mild cases of acidosis include headache, lack of energy, sleepiness, fast and shallow breathing, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration and loss of appetite. Acidosis can result in rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, lupus, tuberculosis, osteoporoses, high blood pressure and most cancers.Metabolic acidosis occurs when the body has more acidity then alkalinity in it. Eating a diet of excessive meats, grains and breads, dairy products, sugar, overcooked, refined and processed foods and fast foods, can lead to an acidic pH balance. Other factors can include overload from pollutants and chemicals, emotional stress and negative thinking. Even excessive exercising (past the point of exhaustion) causes acidity.

The most important way to stay alkaline is to maintain a healthy lifestyle.


- Increase the amounts of vegetables and fruit (alkaline foods) that you eat while decreasing the amount of acid-forming foods, such as grains, dairy products, pasta and breads. Juicing vegetables can be an excellent way to increase your alkaline food intake.Just because a fruit or vegetable may be acid, that doesn't mean it will be acid when it is digested. When foods are digested, they turn into "ash". This ash is what determines if a food is acid or alkaline.- It is important to remember that the method of cooking will also have either an acidic or alkaline reaction. For example, a potato that is baked or boiled in its jacket is alkaline food, whereas a fried potato is acid-forming.

- Make sure you drink at least 2 liters of good water per day. Normal tap water falls short of being good for you. Most city water has additives such as chlorine and fluoride, which are acid forming. Distilled water, water treated by reverse-osmosis or alkaline waters are best.

- Stress - Joy helps to alkalize the body. Take time to relax, have fun and laugh!

- Exercise will tend to make the body more alkaline, but exercising excessively will become acid-forming

Ancient Art of Tai Chi Provides Multiple Health Benefits


Tai chi ranks among the best forms of exercise for maintaining all-around health and wellness. The benefits that it offers go beyond physical fitness, also bringing mental and spiritual gains to those who practice this internal martial art.

Perhaps the best way to describe tai chi is to say that it involves flowing through a series of postures that are coordinated with deep breathing. While engaged in tai chi's graceful and sequenced movements, the focused attention that is required can effectively absorb an individual into a meditative state. In fact, tai chi is sometimes referred to as "meditation in motion."

There are well over 100 possible positions and movements within the tai chi skill set. All joints and major muscle groups are exercised continuously without the strain that can come from high-impact activities. That's why tai chi is suitable for people of virtually all ages and fitness levels.The numerous benefits of tai chi include:

* Decreased blood pressure

* Strengthens muscles while developing flexibility

* Improved posture, balance and coordination

* Increased range of motion

* Decreased occurrence of injurious falls in the elderly

* Prevents or slows bone loss, especially in postmenopausal women

* Heightened mood and increased feelings of well-being

* Reduced levels of stress hormones

* Improved immune function

* Enhanced quality and duration of sleep

Tai chi has existed for centuries, and its benefits have been understood to some degree for just as long. Yet, only recently has Western medicine began probing for details specific to disease states and cellular effects.

Improves Type 2 Diabetes Control

A study from the British Journal of Sports Medicine has shown that tai chi exercises can improve the condition of Type 2 diabetes.The study engaged individuals with Type 2 diabetes in a 12 week program of tai chi and qigong, which is another "soft" martial art. Participants exercised for up to 1.5 hours up to 3 times per week. This activity led to a significant fall in blood glucose levels, along with significant improvements in other markers of metabolic syndrome.At the conclusion of the 12 week period, blood pressure was significantly reduced and insulin resistance was substantially improved. The participants had lost an average of 3kg. They also reported having more energy, sleeping better, experiencing less pain, and having fewer food cravings during the study.

Tai Chi Boosts the Immune System

There is strong evidence for the positive effect of tai chi on immune function. Recent research measured both T-helper cell activity and interleukin levels in patients following 12 weeks of regular tai chi practice. Because T cells are a vital component of the body's immune system, they serve as an excellent indicator of immune status.The researchers found that T cell activity was significantly increased at the study's conclusion. Furthermore, levels of interleukin-12 (IL-12) had doubled. IL-12 plays a role in further development and stimulation of T cells.

Another amazing testament to the power of tai chi comes from a report in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society. A study involving 112 adults, aged 59 to 86, showed that practicing tai chi boosted immunity against the herpes zoster virus –- this is the virus that's responsible for causing shingles, which manifests as a painful, blistery rash. In fact, tai chi alone bolstered immunity against the virus to a degree comparable to that achieved by the standard vaccine. That's right, tai chi works as well as the actual vaccine against shingles. Of course, the vaccine doesn't grant its recipient the countless other health benefits that come from regular tai chi practice.

Walk, Push, Pull, Jump!

If you spend a lot of time at home, this exercise is perfect. Use a sturdy piece of furniture such as sink, immovable table or heavy sofa. no excuse for not having time for exercising!



1-place your hands on the sink or furniture, head down, elbows out, and walk in place.it should look as if you are trying to move the sink

2-In the same position, really push the sink with all your strength while still walking in place. you should feel the backs of your shoulders down to your forearms really working

3-Holding on to the sink, pull back on the sink so that your ankles are touching the ground and your toes are pointing upward. you will feel the backs of your shoulders and arms supporting your weight

4-Lean froward, transferring all your weight on top of the sink and onto your forearms and calf muscles. jump up off the ground. repeat 10-20 times

Healing Exercise

The Tai-Chi Circle of Life



This fluid breathing exercise is adapted from Daniel Reid's book The Tao of Health, Sex and Longevity. It incorporate your body and mind with the four distinct stages of breathing: inhalation, retention, exhalation and pause.Breathing exercises help relax the nerves, calm the heart, boost circulation and enhance energy reserves






1- Stand with your heels together and toes splayed at 45 degree angle, knees bent and spine erect. Bring your hands together in front of you, below the navel, palms up, with right hand cupped in left


2-Empty your lungs, then slowly inhale. as you inhale, slowly raise your hands out to the sides, palms up and make as wide a circle as possible with your arms as you raise them above your head. At the same time, slowly starighten your kness,with your hands still raised above your head and your lungs full.Tuck in your pelvis, retain briefly, and swallow audibly. Be sure to keep your neck as strethed as possible


3- Slowly exhale through your nose. At the same time, gradually lower your hands, palms down, in a straight line back down to the starting position, while bending your knees into a semi-squat position


4-Empty your lungs with a final contraction, pause to relax your abdominal wall, then turn your palms upward, cup them, and begin another inhalation. Repeat 10-20 times

Exercises for Longevity


Exercise is the closest thing to an anti-aging pill that exist.people who are physically fit, eat a healthy, balanced diet, and take nutritional supplements can measure out to be ten to twenty years biologically younger than their chronological age (Goldman & Klatz, 2007)

If you are a sedentary person, any regular exercise of moderate intensity-even if it's mowing the lawn, gardening, or climbing the stairs-will allow you to live longer. even if you're sixty or seventy, it's important to realize that it's never too late.

The CDC and the American College of Sports Medicine recommend that you exercise thirty minutes a day in addition to your normal activities-and it doesnt have to be thirty minutes consecutively

-Brisk walking, cycling, swimming, racket sports, housecleaning are some of the moderate-intensity physical activities recommended.

Getting Prepared

Before beginning regular exercise program, we recommend you determine your target heart rate first, so that you know your aim and your limit

Generally, you should aim for raising your heart rate during exercise to about 70-85% of its maximum capacity

Substract your age from 220 and multiply the result by 0.70 (or 70%), then also multiply the result by 0.85 (or 85%).this is your target heart rate zone.

For example, if you are 40 years old, your maximum rate is 220-40=180. your target heart rate zone, is then 70-85% of 180 or 126 to 153

You should aim for raising your heart rate and keeping it there for thirty minutes at a time, for a minimum of about two hours a week.in other words, you are looking for four half-hour sessions of vigourous exercise per week
