BSCC- JOHN HOPKINS MEDICAL LETTER

Fri Aug 29 08:01:42 EDT 2008

Ray,

I hope that you are not advocating that we do not consider chemotherapy and
or radiation therapy to save lives. It does work. You have to weigh the
benefit (Life) against the risk (life with complications or death from
complications). When the only chance to continue living is through
chemotherapy and or radiation, you take that chance. I am not going to
continue with this conversation over the BSC email waves, because we were
told not to do these sort of emails in the last news letter. 

So if you want to know how chemotherapy has helped me to enjoy my daughters'
life for the last 11 years, instead of celebrating the 11th anniversary of
her death please email me at my personal email address
cynthiabon at comcast.net. She had less than 2 weeks to live when we found out
she had leukemia.

Hi eveyone,

Because you're all my friends, please take a few moments to read this letter
from Johns-Hopkins Hospital.

There is a lot of good information in it.  With a little knowledge we can
all learn to take better care of ourselves...

I want you all around for the long haul to enjoy your Corvairs and the
fellowship of the best CORSA Chapter going.

Best regards to all,   Ray 'B'

A Johns-Hopkins Medical Letter.....

 AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY (TRY IS
THE KEY WORD) AND ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHN HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL
YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY

Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins Hospital

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 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 soya 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 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 become
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, unforgiveness 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 thi s 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 he combination of fat, high
heat, and plastics releases dioxin 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.
