Every person has cancer cells in the body. Most do not show up in standard tests until they have multiplied to a few million. “No more cancer cells present after treatment” means not enough to detect.
Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in every person’s lifetime.
When the person’s immune system is strong, the cancer cells will routinely be destroyed.
When a person develops dangerous cancer, it can mean multiple nutritional deficiencies, genetic factors and lifestyle factors may all play a role.
To overcome these multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including specific supplements will strengthen the immune system.
Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly growing cancer cells but also destroys rapidly growing healthy cells in bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract, etc. This can cause organ damage to liver, kidneys, heart, lungs, etc.
Radiation therapy, while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.
Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation therapy will often reduce tumor size. However, prolonged use of chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy does not result in more tumor destruction.
When the body has too much toxin burden from chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy, the immune system is seriously compromised or even destroyed, leaving the person open to various kinds of infections and serious complications.
Chemotherapy and radiation therapy can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.
An effective way to battle cancer cells is to starve them by not feeding them with the foods they need to multiply.
Cancer cells feed on:
Sugar. Sugar is an important cancer food. Cut off a cancer’s sugar supply and you have deprived it of a necessary nutrient. Sugar substitutes, honey and even molasses, although less harmful to the person than sugar, are still harmful foods.
Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastrointestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting unsweetened soy milk, cancer cells will be further starved.
Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A red-meat based diet is an acid-based diet. It is far better to eat fish and chicken. Red meats also tend to contain livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are harmful to people, especially persons with cancer.
A diet with 80% fresh vegetables and juices, whole grains, seeds and nuts, plus a little fruit help put the body in an alkaline environment. About 20% of that diet should be from cooked foods and 80% from raw foods. Live enzymes, easily absorbed to cellular level within 15 minutes of consuming and necessary for building healthy cells, are destroyed at 104° F.
Avoid coffee, tea and chocolate, which are high in caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties. Obviously, water is best, overall. Concentrate on filtered or purified water to avoid toxins and heavy metals. Distilled water is acidic, so avoid it!
Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines becomes putrefied and leads to even more toxic buildup.
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.
Some dietary supplements build up the immune system (IP6. Flor-ssence. Essiac. Antioxidants, 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.
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, bitterness and self-pity put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.
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.
A few reminders for all of us to follow:
No plastic containers in the microwave
No plastic wrap on any containers in the microwave
No plastic water bottles in the freezer
Plastics contain dioxins that are highly poisonous to the cells of our body. Freezing releases dioxins contained in plastic water bottles. Plastic containers and plastic wraps contain dioxins that are released by the microwave’s heat into the foods we eat, especially any foods containing fat. All of us are urged to use tempered glass or ceramic containers for heating food. Cover foods in the microwave with paper toweling instead of plastic wrap. The results are the same—heated food, but no dioxins—and that’s good!
