<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:Aristocrat;color:#1F497D'>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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY (TRY

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Bookman Old Style","serif"'>1.
Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells <br>
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.<br>
<br>
2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a <br>
person's lifetime<br>
<br>
3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells <br>
will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Bookman Old Style","serif"'>4.
When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple <br>
nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental,
food and lifestyle factors.<br>
<br>
5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing <br>
diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.<br>
<br>
6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer <br>
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.<br>
<br>
7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and <br>
damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.<br>
<br>
8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often <br>
reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not
result in more tumor destruction.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Bookman Old Style","serif"'>9
When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and <br>
radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the
person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Bookman Old Style","serif"'>10.
Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate <br>
and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer
cells to spread to other sites.<br>
<br>
11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer <br>
cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.<br>
<br>
CANCER CELLS FEED ON:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Bookman Old Style","serif"'>a.
Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one <br>
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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Bookman Old Style","serif"'>Table
salt has a chemical added to make it white in color. Better alternative is
Bragg's aminos or sea salt.<br>
<br>
b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the <br>
gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and
substituting with unsweetened soya milk cancer cells are being starved.<br>
<br>
c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet <br>
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.<br>
<br>
d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, <br>
seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline
environment. <br>
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).<br>
<br>
e. Avoid high caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has <br>
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.<br>
<br>
12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of <br>
digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become
putrefied and leads to more toxic buildup.<br>
<br>
13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By <br>
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.<br>
<br>
14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, <br>
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.<br>
<br>
15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A <br>
proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a
survivor. <br>
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.<br>
<br>
16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. <br>
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.<br>
<br>
1. No plastic containers in micro.<br>
<br>
2. No water bottles in freezer.<br>
<br>
3. No plastic wrap in microwave.<br>
<br>
Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This <br>
information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as
well. <br>
Dioxin chemicals cause cancer, especially breast cancer. Dioxins are highly
poisonous to the cells of our bodies.<br>
<br>
Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this <br>
releases dioxins from the plastic.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Bookman Old Style","serif"'>Recently,
Dr. Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle <br>
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 <br>
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.<br>
