Facts to know about Chemotherapy

New facts that you should know about chemotherapy.

We are told that once a person is diagnosed with cancer, the likely treatment is chemotherapy. I have first hand experience with chemotherapy, having taken my mother to frequent dosage of chemotherapy to cure her cancer in her stomach. Much as there were Hope in the initial stage, I must say that in the finality, just as I observed in many other cancer cases, the treatment brought with it many side-effects before the patients succumb to the cancer at the end.

It seems that there is so much to the treatment of chemotherapy that we do not know about. So when I received the following from the email, I felt the need to share it with you. So, below are some more facts that you should know about the treatment of chemotherapy.

The Mail goes....

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 :

Fact 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.


Fact 2.
Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.

Fact 3
When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.

Fact 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.

Fact 5

To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.

Fact 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.

Fact 7
Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and
organs.

Fact 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.

Fact 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.

Fact 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.

Fact 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 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 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.

Fact 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.

Fact 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.

Fact 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.

Fact 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.


Fact 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 Cast le 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.

This is an article that should be sent to anyone important in your life.

Hope this article helps, do spread this around.

Diabetics Treatment

Finally Good New for All Diabetics.

Recently, I went for a routine blood test. The test was for the cholesterol monitoring as I have been taking the ZOCOR medicine for quite some time. When the result came back, I was in a bit of shock when the doctor told me that the sugar level is too high, exceeding the threshold.

As this was the first time, the doctor asked me to go back to the Clinic for another test on the glucose the following day. During the subsequently test, I asked to provide the urine and a blood sample was taken. After this, I was given a drink, which I think was glucose. I was asked not to eat anything and can only drink water, and to go back in an hours time.

When I returned an hour later, again I was asked to provide a urine test, and blood sample taken. This was repeated for a second time for the next hour. When the report came out, it was a relieve that it was a false alarm and I was told that I do not have to take any medication. When I checked further into this diabetic treatment, only then did I realise how important it is not to be inflicted with diabetic conditions as this tend to lead to many complications.

So when I received this in an email about a treatment for diabetics, I thought to share this with you immediately. Below is the detail of the Treatment for Diabetics.

Diabetic ! Finally good news for all Diabetics.

A woman (65) was diabetic for the last 20+ years and was taking insulin twice a day, she used the enclosed homemade medicine for a fortnight and now she is absolutely free of diabetes and taking all her food as normal including sweets.....

The doctors have advised her to stop insulin and any other blood sugar controlling drugs. I request you all please circulate this email to as many people as you can and let them take the maximum benefit from it.

Dr. Tony Almeida (Bombay Kidney Speciality expert) made the extensive experiments with perseverance and patience and discovered a successful treatment for diabetes. Nowaday, a lot of people, old men and women in particular suffer a lot due to diabetes.

Ingredients;

1) Wheat flour 100 gm
2) Gum (of tree) (gondh) 100 gm

Method of preparaton : PUt all the above ingredients in 5 cups of water. Boil it for 10 minutes and put off the fire. Allow it to cool down by itself. When it has become cold, filter out the seeds and preserve the water in a glass jug or bottle.

How to use it?
Take one small cup of this water every day early morning when your stomach is empty.
Continue this for 7 days. Next week, repeat the same but on alternate days. With these 2 weeks of treatment, you will wonder to see that you have become normal and can eat normal food without problem.

Note : A request is to spread this to as many as possible so that others can also take the benefit out of it.

Since these are all natural ingredients, taking them is not harmful. So those who a sceptical about this treatment may still try it without any harm. Worst case scenario will be that you remain still the same as you were before.

So if you are thinking of trying this, do it in addition whatever medication you are taking now. Do not stop your medication unless your doctor advise you to so.

Hot Cocoa For High Blood Pressure

Could hot cocoa be the new "wonder drug" for High Blood Pressure

According to recent estimates, nearly 1 in 3 American adults has high blood pressure. But for the Kuna Indians living on a group of islands off the Caribbean coast of Pananma, hypertension does not even exist. In fact, after age 60, the average blood pressure for Kuna Indian islanders is a perfect 110/70.

Is it because they eat less salt? No, Kuna Indians who eat as much, if not more salt, than people in the US.

Is it due to their genes? No. Kuna Indians who moved away from the islands are just as likely to suffer from high blood pressure as anyone else!

So what makes these folks practically "immune" to hypertension - and lets them enjoy much lower death rates from heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, and cancer?

Harvard researchers were stunned to discover it's because they drink aout 5 cups of cocoa each day. That's right, cocoa!

Studies show the flavonois in cocoa stimulate your body's production of nitric oxide - boosting blood flow to your heart, brain, and other organs. In fact, one study found cocoa thins your blood just as well as low-dose aspirin!

But that's not all. A Harvard Medical School professor claims cocoa can also treat blocked arteries, congestive heart failure, stroke, dementia, and even impotence!

Cocoa - A hot cup of cocoa with marshmallows

So if you enjoy your cocoa drink, you can enjoy it much better now knowing what good it can bring. If you don't drink cocoa, maybe it's time you start to a cup of cocoa a day, to keep hypertension away. This maybe a cure to control your hypertension and high blood pressure
