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 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.

90/10 PRINCIPLES

Discover the 90/10 Principle. It will change your life at least the

way you react to situations). What is this principle?

10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is decided

by how you react. What does this mean? We really have no control over

10% of what happens to us. We cannot stop the car from breaking down.

The plane will be late arriving, which throws our whole schedule off.

A driver may cut us off in traffic. We have no control over this 10%.

The other 90% is different.

You determine the other 90%. How? By your reaction. You cannot control

a red light, but you can control your reaction. Don't let people fool

you. YOU can control how you react. BY GOD'S GRACE.

Let's use an example. You are eating breakfast with your family. Your

daughter knocks over a cup of coffee onto your business shirt. You

have no control over what just what happened. What happens next will be determined by how you react. You curse. You harshly scold

your daughter for knocking the cup over. She breaks down in tears.

After scolding her, you turn to your spouse and criticize her for

placing the cup too close to the edge of the table. A short verbal

battle follows. You storm upstairs and change your shirt. Back

downstairs, you find your daughter has been too busy crying to finish

breakfast and get ready for school. She misses the bus. Your spouse

must leave immediately for work. You rush to the car and drive your

daughter to school. Because you are late, you drive 40 miles an hour

in a 30 mph speed limit. After a 15-minute delay and throwing $60

traffic fine away, you arrive at school. Your daughter runs into the

building without saying goodbye. After arriving at the office 20

minutes late, you find you forgot your briefcase. Your day has started

terrible. As it continues, it seems to get worse and worse. You look

forward to coming home, When you arrive home, you find small wedge in

your relationship with your spouse and daughter.

Why? Because of how you reacted in the morning. Why did you have a bad day?

A) Did the coffee cause it?

B) Did your daughter cause it?

C) Did the policeman cause it?

D) Did you cause it?

The answer is ' D'. You had no control over what happened with the

coffee. How you reacted in those 5 seconds is what caused your bad

day. Here is what could have and should have happened. Coffee splashes

over you. Your daughter is about to cry. You gently say, 'It is ok

honey, you just need, to be more careful next time'. Grabbing a towel

you rush upstairs. After grabbing a new shirt and your briefcase, you

come back down in time to look through the window and see your child

getting on the bus. She turns and waves. You arrive 5 minutes early

and cheerfully greet the staff. Your boss comments on how good the day

you are having.

Notice the difference? Two different scenarios. Both started the same.

Both ended different.

Why? Because of how you REACTED. You really do not have any control

over 10% of what happens. The other 90% was determined by your

reaction.

Here are some ways to apply the 90/10 principle. If someone says

something negative about you, don't be a sponge. Let the attack roll

off like water on glass. You don't have to let the negative comment

affect you! React properly and it will not ruin your day. A wrong

reaction could result in losing a friend, being fired, getting

stressed out etc.

How do you react if someone cuts you off in traffic? Do you lose your

temper? Pound on the steering wheel? A friend of mine had the steering

wheel fall off.

Do you curse? Does your blood pressure skyrocket? Do you try and bump

them? WHO CARES if you arrive ten seconds later at work? Why let the

cars ruin your drive?

Remember the 90/10 principle, and do not worry about it.

You are told you lost your job. Why lose sleep and get irritated? It

will work out. Use your worrying energy and time into finding another

job. The plane is late it is going to mangle your schedule for the

day. Why take out your frustration on the flight attendant? She has no

control over what is going on. Use your time to study, get to know the

other passenger. Why get stressed out? It will just make things worse.

Now you know the 90/10 principle. Apply it and you will be amazed at

the results. You will lose nothing if you try it.

The 90/10 principle is incredible. Very few know and apply this

principle. The result? Millions of people are suffering from

undeserved stress, trials, problems and heartache. We all must

understand and apply the 90/10 principle. It CAN change your

life***!!!!!!!
