"EXCELLENT ARTICLE ON CANCER"

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 the foods it needs to multiply.


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. 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.

12.  Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become purified 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, Florssence, 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, 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.

 

 

 

Fwd: FW: Signs of Ovarian Cancer.... please read or print, pass and dessiminate

Signs of Ovarian Cancer....

 

An Eye Opener on Ovarian Cancer  I hope you all take the time to read this and pass it on to all you can. Send this to the women in your life that you care about.  Years ago, Gilda Radner died of ovarian cancer. Her symptoms were inconclusive, and she was treated for everything under the sun until it was too late. This blood test finally identified her illness but alas, too late. She wrote a book to heighten awareness. Gene Wilder is her widower.  KATHY'S STORY: this is the story of Kathy West  As all of you know, I have Primary Peritoneal Cancer. This cancer has only recently been identified as its OWN type of cancer, but it is essentially Ovarian Cancer.  Both types of cancer are diagnosed in the same way, with the "tumor marker" CA-125 BLOOD TEST, and they are treated in the same way - surgery to remove the primary tumor and then chemotherapy with Taxol and Carboplatin.  Having gone through this ordeal, I want to save others from the same fate. That is why I am sending this message to you and hope you will print it and give it or send it via E-mail to everybody you know.  One thing I have learned is that each of us must take TOTAL responsibility for our own health care. I thought I had done that because I always had an annual physical and PAP smear, did a monthly Self-Breast Exam, went to the dentist at least twice a year, etc. I even insisted on a sigmoidoscopy and a bone density test last year. When I had a total hysterectomy in 1993, I thought that I did not have to worry about getting any of the female reproductive organ cancers.  LITTLE DID I KNOW. I don't have ovaries (and they were HEALTHY when they were removed), but I have what is essentially ovarian cancer. Strange, isn't it?  These are just SOME of the things our Doctors never tell us: ONE out of every 55 women will get OVARIAN or PRIMARY PERITONEAL CANCER.  The "CLASSIC" symptoms are an ABDOMEN that rather SUDDENLY ENLARGES and CONSTIPATION and/or DIARRHEA.  I had these classic symptoms and went to the doctor. Because these symptoms seemed to be "abdominal", I went to a gastroenterologist. He ran tests that were designed to determine whether there was a bacteria infection; these tests were negative, and I was diagnosed with "Irritable Bowel Syndrome". I guess I would have accepted this diagnosis had it not been for my enlarged abdomen. I swear to you, it looked like I was 4-5 months pregnant! I therefore insisted on more tests  They took an X-ray of my abdomen; it was negative. I was again assured that I had Irritable Bowel Syndrome and was encouraged to go on my scheduled month-long trip to Europe . I couldn't wear any of my slacks or shorts because I couldn't get them buttoned, and I KNEW something was radically wrong. I INSISTED on more tests, and they reluctantly) scheduled me for a CT-Scan (just to shut me up, I think). This is what I mean by "taking charge of our own health care."  The CT-Scan showed a lot of fluid in my abdomen (NOT normal). Needless to say, I had to cancel my trip and have FIVE POUNDS of fluid drawn off at the hospital (not a pleasant experience I assure you), but NOTHING compared to what was ahead of me.  Tests revealed cancer cells in the fluid. Finally, finally, finally, the doctor ran a CA-125 blood test, and I was properly diagnosed.  I HAD THE CLASSIC SYMPTOMS FOR OVARIAN CANCER, AND YET THIS SIMPLE CA-125 BLOOD TEST HAD NEVER BEEN RUN ON ME, not as part of my annual physical exam and not when I was symptomatic. This is an inexpensive and simple blood test!  PLEASE, PLEASE TELL ALL YOUR FEMALE FRIENDS AND RELATIVES TO INSIST ON A CA-125 BLOOD TEST EVERY YEAR AS PART OF THEIR ANNUAL PHYSICAL EXAMS.  Be forewarned that their doctors might try to talk them out of it, saying, "IT ISN'T NECESSARY." Believe me, had I known then what I know now, we would have caught my cancer much earlier (before it was a stage 3 cancer). Insist on the CA-125 BLOOD TEST; DO NOT take "NO" for an answer!  The normal range for a CA-125 BLOOD TEST is between zero and 35. MINE WAS 754. (That's right, 754!). If the number is slightly above 35, you can have another done in three or six months and keep a close eye on it, just as women do when they have fibroid tumors or when men have a slightly elevated PSA test (Prostatic Specific Antigens) that helps diagnose prostate cancer.  Having the CA-125 test done annually can alert you early, and that's the goal in diagnosing any type of cancer - catching it early.  Do you know 55 women? If so, at least one of them will have this VERY AGGRESSIVE cancer. Please, go to your doctor and insist on a CA-125 test and have one EVERY YEAR for the rest of your life.  And forward this message to every woman you know, and tell all of your female family members and friends. Though the median age for this cancer is 56, (and, guess what, I'm exactly 56), women as young as 22 have it. Age is no factor.  A NOTE FROM THE RN:  Well, after reading this, I made some calls. I found that the CA-125 test is an ovarian screening test equivalent to a man's PSA test prostate screen (which my husband's doctor automatically gives him in his physical each year and insurance pays for it). I called the general practitioner's office about having the test done. The nurse had never heard of it. She told me that she doubted that insurance would pay for it. So I called Prudential Insurance Co, and got the same response. Never heard of it - it won't be covered.  I explained that it was the same as the PSA test they had paid for my husband for years. After conferring with whomever they confer with, she told me that the CA-125 would be covered.  It is $75 in a GP's office and $125 at the GYN's. This is a screening test that should be required just like a PAP smear (a PAP smear cannot detect problems with your ovaries). And you must insist that your insurance company pay for it.  Gene Wilder and Pierce Brosnan (his wife had it, too) are lobbying for women's health issues, saying that this test should be required in our physicals, just like the PAP and the mammogram. PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO SEND THIS OUT TO ALL THOSE YOU CAN. BE IT MALE OR FEMALE, IT SHOULD NOT MATTER, AS THEY CAN FORWARD IT ALSO TO THOSE LOVED ONES THEY KNOW.  IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH FORWARDING SOMETHING AS IMPORTANT AS THIS, HERE'S A LITTLE HINT THAT MAY ASSIST YOU WITH YOUR DECISION ~ JUST PRETEND THAT THIS IS A JOKE, WHICH IT CERTAINLY IS NOT, AND SEND IT OUT TO ALL THE FOLKS YOU WOULD IF IT WAS. THANKS.

 

Ten Principles for Peace of Mind

 
 
 
 
This is so true….  If there's peace, there's happiness….  Wishing you all happiness from within… (MMirasol)

1. Do Not Interfere In Others' Business Unless Asked.  Most of us create our own problems by interfering too often in others' affairs. We do so because somehow we have convinced ourselvesthat our way is the best way, our logic is the perfect logic and those who do not conform to our thinking must be criticized and steered to the right direction, our direction. This thinking denies the existence of individuality and consequently the existence of God.  God has created each one of us in a unique way. No two human beings can think or act in exactly the same way. All men or women act theway they do because God within them prompts them that way. There is God to look after everything. Why are you bothered? Mind your own business and you will keep your peace. 2. Forgive And Forget.  This is the most powerful aid to peace of mind. We often develop ill feelings inside our heart for the person who insults us or harms us. We nurture grievances. This in turn results in loss of sleep, development of stomach ulcers, and high blood pressure. This insult or injury was done once, but nourishing of grievance goes on forever by constantly remembering it. Get over this bad habit. Believe in thejustice of God and the doctrine of destiny. Let Him judge the act of the one who insulted you. Life is too short to waste in such trifles.  Forgive, Forget, and march on. Love flourishes in giving and forgiving. 3. Do Not Crave For Recognition.  This world is full of selfish people. They seldom praise anybody without selfish motives. They may praise you today because you are inpower, but no sooner than you are powerless, they will forget your achievement and will start finding faults in you. Why do you wish to kill yourself in striving for their recognition? Their recognition is not worth the aggravation. Do your duties ethically and sincerely andleave the rest to God. 4. Do Not Be Jealous.  We all have experienced how jealousy can disturb our peace of mind.  You know that you work harder than your colleagues in the office, butsometimes they get promotions; you do not. You started a business several years ago, but you are not as successful as your neighbor whose business is only one year old. There are several examples like these in everyday life. Should you be jealous? No. Remembereverybody's life is shaped by his/her destiny, which has now become his/her reality. If you are destined to be rich, nothing in the worldcan stop you. If you are not so destined, no one can help you either.  Nothing will be gained by blaming others for your misfortune. Jealousy will not get you anywhere; it will only take away your peace of mind. 5. Change Yourself According To The Environment.  If you try to change the environment single-handedly, the chances are you will fail. Instead, change yourself to suit your environment. Asyou do this, even the environment, which has been unfriendly to you, will mysteriously change and seem congenial and harmonious. 6. Endure What Cannot Be Cured.  This is the best way to turn a disadvantage into an advantage. Every day we face numerous inconveniences, ailments, irritations, andaccidents that are beyond our control. If we cannot control them or change them, we must learn to put up with these things. We must learnto endure them cheerfully thinking, "God wills it so, so be it." God's plan is beyond our comprehension. Believe in it and you willgain in terms of patience, inner strength and will power. 7. Do Not Bite Off More Than You Can Chew.  This maxim needs to be remembered constantly. We often tend to take more responsibilities than we are capable of carrying out. This isdone to satisfy our ego. Know your limitations. Why take on additional loads that may create more worries? You cannot gain peace of mindby expanding your external activities. Reduce your material engagements and spend time in prayer, introspection and meditation.This will reduce those thoughts in your mind that make you rest less.  Uncluttered mind will produce greater peace of mind. 8. Meditate Regularly.  Meditation calms the mind and gets rid of disturbing thoughts. This is the highest state of peace of mind. Try and experience ityourself. If you meditate earnestly for half an hour everyday, your mind will tend to become peaceful during the remaining twenty-three and half-hours. Your mind will not be easily disturbed as it was before. You would benefit by gradually increasing the period of dailymeditation. You may think that this will interfere with your daily work. On the contrary, this will increase your efficiency and you will be able to produce better results in less time. 9. Never Leave The Mind Vacant.  An empty mind is the devil's workshop. All evil actions start in the vacant mind. Keep your mind occupied in something positive, somethingworthwhile. Actively follow a hobby. Do something that holds your interest. You must decide what you value more: money or peace of mind. Your hobby, like social work or religious work, may not always earn you more money, but you will have a sense of fulfillment andachievement. Even when you are resting physically, occupy yourself in healthy reading or mental chanting of God's name. 10. Do not waste time in protracted wondering " Should I or shouldn't I?"  Days, weeks, months, and years may be wasted in that futile mental debating. You can never plan enough because you can never anticipateall future happenings. Always remember, God has His own plan, too for you. Value your time and do the things that need to be done. It doesnot matter if you fail the first time. You can learn from your mistakes and succeed the next time. Sitting back and worrying will lead to nothing. Learn from your mistakes, but do not brood over the past. DO NOT REGRET. Whatever happened was destined to happen onlythat way. Take it as the Will of God. You do not have the power to alter the course of God's Will. Why cry over spilt milk?       -- In Him we live & Serve for His Glory,

Top Cancer-Fighting Foods

--- Fighting Cancer by the Plateful No single food can reduce your risk of cancer, but the right combination of foods may help make a difference. At mealtimes, strike a balance of at least 2/3 plant-based foods and no more than 1/3 animal protein. This "New American Plate" is an important cancer fighting tool, according to the American Institute for Cancer Research. Check out better and worse choices for your plate.   Fighting Cancer With Color Fruits and vegetables are rich in cancer-fighting nutrients - and the more color, the more nutrients they contain. These foods can help lower your risk in a second way, too, when they help you reach and maintain a healthy body weight. Carrying extra pounds increases the risk for multiple cancers, including colon, esophagus, and kidney cancers. Aim for at least five servings a day, prepared in a healthy way.   The Cancer-Fighting Breakfast Folate is an important B vitamin that may help protect against cancers of the colon, rectum, and breast. You can find it in abundance on the breakfast table. Fortified breakfast cereals and whole wheat products are good sources of folate. So are orange juice, melons, and strawberries.   More Folate-Rich Foods Other good sources of folate are asparagus and eggs. You can also find it in chicken liver, beans, sunflower seeds, and leafy green vegetables like spinach or romaine lettuce. According to the ACS, the best way to get folate is not from a pill, but by eating enough fruits, vegetables, and enriched grain products.   Pass Up the Deli Counter An occasional Reuben sandwich or hot dog at the ballpark probably isn't going to hurt you. But cutting back on processed meats like bologna, ham, and hot dogs may help lower your risk of colorectal and stomach cancers. Also, eating meats that have been preserved by smoking or with salt raises your exposure to agents that can potentially cause cancer.   Cancer-Fighting Tomatoes Whether it's the lycopene -- the pigment that gives tomatoes their red color -- or something else isn't clear. But some studies have linked eating tomatoes to reduced risk of several types of cancer, including prostate cancer. Studies also suggest that processed tomato products such as juice, sauce, or paste increase the cancer-fighting potential.   Tea's Anticancer Potential Even though the evidence is still spotty, tea, especially green tea, may be a strong cancer fighter. In laboratory studies, green tea has slowed or prevented the development of cancer in colon, liver, breast, and prostate cells. It also had a similar effect in lung tissue and skin. And in some longer term studies, tea was associated with lower risks for bladder, stomach, and pancreatic cancers.   Grapes and Cancer Grapes and grape juice, especially purple and red grapes, contain resveratrol. Resveratrol has strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. In laboratory studies, it has prevented the kind of damage that can trigger the cancer process in cells. There is not enough evidence to say that eating grapes or drinking grape juice or wine can prevent or treat cancer.   Limit Alcohol to Lower Cancer Risk Cancers of the mouth, throat, larynx, esophagus, liver, and breast are all linked with drinking alcohol. Alcohol may also raise the risk for cancer of the colon and rectum. The American Cancer Society says that even the suggested daily limit of 2 drinks for men and 1 for women elevates the risk. Women at higher risk for breast cancer may want to talk with a doctor about what amount of alcohol, if any, is safe based on their personal risk factors.   Water and Other Fluids Can Protect Water not only quenches your thirst, but it may protect you against bladder cancer. The lower risk comes from water diluting concentrations of potential cancer-causing agents in the bladder. Also, drinking more fluids causes you to urinate more frequently. That lessens the amount of time those agents stay in contact with the bladder lining.   The Mighty Bean Beans are so good for you, it's no surprise they may help fight cancer, too. They contain several potent phytochemicals that may protect the body's cells against damage that can lead to cancer. In the lab these substances slowed tumor growth and prevented tumors from releasing substances that damage nearby cells.   The Cabbage Family vs. Cancer Cruciferous vegetables include broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, bok choy, and kale. These members of the cabbage family make an excellent stir fry and can really liven up a salad. But most importantly, components in these vegetables may help your body defend against cancers such as colon, breast, lung, and cervix.   Dark Green Leafy Vegetables Dark green leafy vegetables such as mustard greens, lettuce, kale, chicory, spinach, and chard have an abundance of fiber, folate, and carotenoids. These nutrients may help protect against cancer of the mouth, larynx, pancreas, lung, skin, and stomach.   Protection From an Exotic Spice Curcumin is the main ingredient in the Indian spice turmeric and a potential cancer fighter. Lab studies show it can suppress the transformation, proliferation, and invasion of cancerous cells for a wide array of cancers.   Cooking Methods Matter How you cook meat can make a difference in how big a cancer risk it poses. Frying, grilling, and broiling meats at very high temperatures causes chemicals to form that may increase cancer risk. Other cooking methods such as stewing, braising, or steaming appear to produce fewer of those chemicals. And when you do stew the meat, remember to add plenty of healthy, protective vegetables.   A Berry Medley With a Punch Strawberries and raspberries have a phytochemical called ellagic acid. This powerful antioxidant may actually fight cancer in several ways at once, including deactivating certain cancer causing substances and slowing the growth of cancer cells.   Blueberries for Health The potent antioxidents in blueberries may have wide value in supporting our health, starting with cancer. Antioxidants fight cancer by ridding the body of free radicals before they can do their damage to cells. Try topping oatmeal, cold cereal, yogurt, even salad with blueberries to boost your intake of these healthful berries.   Pass on the Sugar Sugar may not cause cancer directly. But it may displace other nutrient-rich foods that help protect against cancer. And it increases calorie counts, which contributes to overweight and obesity. Excess weight can be a cancer risk. Fruit offers a sweet alternative in a vitamin-rich package.   Don't Rely on Supplements Vitamins may help protect against cancer. But that's when you get them naturally from food. Both the American Cancer Society and the American Institute for Cancer Research emphasize that getting cancer-fighting nutrients from foods like nuts, fruits, and green leafy vegetables is vastly superior to getting them from supplements. Eating a healthy diet is best. вєѕт яєgαя∂ѕ! ѕнιναм'ѕ!!!       .

Save Planet Earth

What you throw today does not really go away. It goes to  a landfill. If it's not biodegradable, it would still be in the landfill even after 50 years. You have the choice to leave a legacy in this world and it doesn't have to be trash.

Simple Steps at Work on How to Save the Planet

 

Maybe it's because we don't think of our office as our home, or we believe that if someone else is responsible for taking care of our paychecks, then they are responsible for our trash, too.  Currently, business offices have become major contributors to waste.

 

An average worker uses 10,000 sheets of paper each year.  It is a fact that a lot of office electricity is used to light offices even when they are vacant or when there is sufficient natural light to go without overhead lighting.  In addition to this, office buildings are responsible for more than 10 percent of all the water used.  Food waste is another problem.  But the office supply room contributes the most to the office waste problem, with tons of paper, pens, paper clips, and rubber bands being needlessly tossed out.

 

Keeping all that in mind, here are some things we can do individually to help work for the environment at the office.

 

Getting To Work

 

• Keeping your tires fully inflated could improve your gas mileage by around three (3) percent.  It also makes your tires last longer.
• Try to take public transportation.  Fewer cars on the road significantly reduce commuting time.  People spend an average of 36 hours – nearly five full workdays – in traffic delays per year.
• Better yet, try carpooling.  This will save time and money.

 

Having A Break

 

• Don't use disposable stirrers.  Just pour in your sugar and milk first then add coffee.
• Use silverware and plates, not plasticware, in the cafeteria if you have a choice.
• Choose glass or ceramic containers that can be reused in storing food.  They're healthier than plastic, and you'll reduce the waste generated.
• Bring your lunch from home if you can.  A disposable lunch creates between four and eight ounces of garbage everyday.
• Try to use fewer paper napkins.
• Request less packaging when you order your food to go.

 

In The Workplace

 

• Try using a correction pen as opposed to bottled correction fluid.  It won't dry out as fast, and you'll likely use less.
• Use postconsumer recycled envelopes.
• When transmitting a fax message, avoid a cover page when possible.  You'll save paper on both ends of the transmission.
• Reuse your paper clips.
• Try to use refillable pens, pencils, and markers.  Disposable plastic pens aren't recyclable, nor are they biodegradable.  Throw one away, and it will still be in a landfill fifty thousand years from now.
• Print double-sided pages, and use an inkjet if you can.  Laser printers use 300 watts of electricity, while inkjets use only ten.
• Avoid using rubber bands if you can.  About three-quarters of rubber bands are synthetic, made from crude oil.
• Activate the power management function, or sleep mode, on your monitors and CPU boxes.
• Turn off your office lights if natural light from the sun is available.  You'll get less eye fatigue due to glare.
