Cancer's Cell Update

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 tumours.

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 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 colour. Better alternative
is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.

b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the
gastro-intes tina l 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 no urish 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 putrified 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 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.

Food Signatures

A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and
radiating lines look just like the human eye...and YES science
now shows that carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and
function of the eyes.

A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart is red
and has four chambers. All of the research shows tomatoes
are indeed pure heart and blood food.

Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart.
Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research
today shows that grapes are also profound heart and
blood vitalizing food.

Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney
function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.

Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and more look just like bones.
These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23%
sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don't have
enough sodium in your diet the body pulls it from the bones,
making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal
needs of the body.

Eggplant, Avocadoes and Pears target the health and function
of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these
organs. Today's research shows that when a woman eats 1
avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth
weight and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is
this? .... It takes exactly 9 months to grow an avocado from
blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic
chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods
(modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).

Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs
increase the motility of male sperm and increase the numbers
of Sperm as well to overcome male sterility, and guess what
they resemble?.

Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance
the glycemic index of diabetics.

Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries

Grapefruits, Oranges, and O there Citrus fruits look just
like the mammary glands of the female and actually
assist the health of the breasts and the movement of
lymph in and out of the breasts.

Onions look like body cells. Today's research shows that
onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells
They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes

Skin Disorder- Ringworm

A magnification of the skin
disorder ringworm
(dermatophytic fungus
Epidermophyton floccosum).


What is ringworm?
Ringworm is a common skin disorder otherwise known as
tinea. While there are multiple forms of ringworm, the
most common affect the skin on the body (tinea corporis),
the scalp (tinea capitis), the feet (tinea pedis, or 'athlete's
foot'), or the groin (tinea cruris, or 'jock itch').
Does ringworm mean I have worms?
Ringworm is not, as its name suggests, caused by a worm.
Characterized by round lesions (rings) and early belief
that the infection was caused by a parasite (worm), the
term ringworm was born. Further confusion comes from
the medical term for ringworm, tinea, which is Latin for
'growing worm.' While the condition is actually the result
of a fungal infection, the name 'ringworm' has stuck.

Ringworm is caused by fungi known as dermatophytes,
which live off of dead tissue.


What causes ringworm?
Although the world is full of
yeasts, molds, and fungi, only a
few cause skin problems.
Ringworm fungi are known as
dermatophytes - microscopic
organisms that live off the dead
tissues of your skin, hair, and nails, much like a mushroom
can grow on the bark of a tree.




There are multiple
forms of ringworm
that affect different
parts of the body.





What types of ringworm are there?
As mentioned previously, there are several types of
ringworm (tinea) that can affect different parts of the
body. On the next several slides, we'll take a look at the
various forms from head to toe.



Ringworm of the body
(tinea corporis).



When fungus affects the skin of the body, it often produces
the round spots of classic ringworm. Sometimes, these spots
have an "active" outer border as they slowly grow and
advance. It is important to distinguish this rash from other
even more common rashes, such as nummular eczema.
This condition, and others, may appear similar to ringworm,
but they are not fungal and require different treatment.



Ringworm of the scalp
(tinea capitis).


Ringworm of the scalp (tinea capitis)
Ringworm of the scalp commonly affects children, mostly
in late childhood or adolescence. This condition may
spread in schools. Tinea capitis appears as scalp scaling
that is associated with bald spots (in contrast to seborrhea
or dandruff, for instance, which do not cause hair loss).


Ringworm of the foot
(tinea pedis).




Ringworm of the foot (tinea pedis)
Tinea pedis is an extremely common skin disorder. It is
the most common and perhaps the most persistent of the
fungal (tinea) infections. Also known as athlete's foot, it
may cause scaling and inflammation in the toe webs,
especially the one between the fourth and fifth toes.
Another common form of tinea pedis produces a thickening
or scaling of the skin on the heels and soles as well as
blisters between the toes or on the sole.


Ringworm of the groin
(tinea cruris).




Ringworm of the groin (tinea cruris)
Tinea of the groin ('jock itch') tends to have a
reddish-brown color and to extend from the folds of the
groin down onto one or both thighs. Other conditions that
can mimic tinea cruris include yeast infections, psoriasis,
and intertrigo, a chafing rash which results from skin
rubbing against skin.


Ringworm of the beard
(tinea barbae).



Ringworm of the beard (tinea barbae)
Ringworm of the bearded area of the face and neck, with
swellings and marked crusting, often with itching,
sometimes causes the hair to break off. In the days when
men went to the barber daily for a shave, tinea barbae
was called barber's itch.



Ringworm of the face
(tinea faciei).


Ringworm of the face (tinea faciei)
Ringworm on the face outside of the beard area is called
tinea faciei. On the face, ringworm is rarely ring-shaped.
Characteristically, it causes red, scaly patches with
indistinct edges.


Ringworm of the hand
(tinea manus).



Ringworm of the hand (tinea manus)
Ringworm may involve the hands, particularly the palms
and the spaces between the fingers. It typically causes
thickening (hyperkeratosis) of these areas, often on only
one hand. Tinea manus is a common companion of tinea
pedis (ringworm of the feet). It is also called tinea manuum.



Ringworm of the nails
(tinea unguium).



Ringworm of the nails (tinea unguium)
This is the most common fungal infection of the nails, also
called onychomycosis. It can make fingernails look white,
thick, opaque, and brittle, but more often toenails look
yellow, thick, and brittle. Artificial nails increase the risk
for tinea unguium as emery boards can carry infection, and
water can collect under the artificial nail, creating a moist,
warm environment favorable for fungal growth.

How did I get ringworm?
Ringworm is highly contagious and can be spread multiple
ways. You can get it from an infected person, animal, object,
and even soil. Heat and moisture help fungi grow and thrive,
which makes them more common in areas of frequent
sweating as well as skin folds such as those in the groin or
between the toes. This also accounts for their reputation as
being caught from contaminated items such as toilet articles,
clothing, pool surfaces, showers, and locker rooms.

Catching ringworm from pets.
Ringworm is an example of a zoonotic disease (transmitted
from animals to humans). Cats are among the most
commonly affected animals and studies have shown that in
30%-70% of households in which a cat develops ringworm,
at least one person will develop the condition. Dogs, cows,
goats, pigs, and horses can spread ringworm to humans
and other animals via direct contact or contact with objects
the infected animal has touched (such as bedding, grooming
articles, saddles, furniture, carpeting, etc.).

How is ringworm diagnosed?
Sometimes, the diagnosis of ringworm is obvious from its
location and appearance. Otherwise, skin scrapings for
microscopic examination and a culture of the affected skin
can establish the diagnosis of tinea or rule it out.

How is ringworm treated?
Ringworm can be treated topically with antifungal creams
containing clotrimazole (Cruex, Desenex, Lotrimin),
miconazole (Monistat-Derm), ketoconazole (Nizoral) and
terbinafine (Lamisil). In severe or resistant infections on
the scalp or nails, oral medications such as terbinafine,
itraconazole (Sporanox), and fluconazole (Diflucan) are
necessary.

Can ringworm be prevented?
Ringworm is difficult to prevent, but you can help reduce
your risk by following some simple guidelines. The next
several slides provide some helpful prevention tips in
minimizing the chance of developing ringworm.

Ringworm Prevention
Don't share clothing, sports gear, towels, or sheets.
Wear slippers or sandals in locker rooms and public pool
and bathing areas.
Shower and shampoo well after any sport that includes
skin-to-skin contact.
Wear loose-fitting cotton clothing. Change your socks
and underwear at least once a day.
Keep your skin clean and dry. Always dry yourself
completely after showers or baths.
If you have athlete's foot, put your socks on before
your underwear so that fungi do not spread from
your feet to your groin.
Take your pet to the vet if it has patches of missing hair,
which could be a sign of a fungal infection.
