I just received the following in an email and it is so true. Go Raw!!!!

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

Cancer Update from John 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 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 colour. 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 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, un
forgiveness 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.

(PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO PEOPLE YOU CARE ABOUT)CANCER UPDATE FROM JOHN
HOPKINS HOSPITAL , U. S. -
PLEASE READ

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
causes 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 this 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 the combination of fat, high
heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells
of the body. Instead, he recommends using glass, such as CorningWare, Pyrex or
ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, only without the
dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be
removed from the container and heated in something else. Paper isn't bad but you
don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning
Ware, etc. He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants
moved away from the foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the
reasons.

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.

Why are we born with cancer cells in our body? What is the purpose of that :eek:

This was a hoax. John Hopkins didn't endorse this.

HEADLINE: Email Hoax Regarding Cancer


Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center
Office of Public Affairs
March 2007

EMAIL HOAX REGARDING CANCER

An email falsely attributed to Johns Hopkins describing properties of cancer cells and suggesting prevention strategies has begun circulating the Internet. Johns Hopkins did not publish the email, entitled "Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins," nor do we endorse its contents. For more information about cancer, please read the information on our web site or visit the National Cancer Institute's web site at www.cancer.gov.

Another hoax email that has been circulating since 2004 regarding plastic containers, bottles, wrap claiming that heat releases dioxins which cause cancer also was not published by Johns Hopkins. More information.

I can believe it was a hoax but I have heard that everyone has cancer cells do you not believe any of the info is true? It seems to be somewhat valid. I could be wrong.

Even though i believe the information is true and i'm glad it's out there for people to read, it does not surprise me that a hospital would not agree with it.
How sad that people are subjected to such horror in the name of healing, our bodies can heal themselves if given what it needs and time.
I feel sorry for people that feel that they have no other choice than to get operated on and then subjected to cancer treatment when natural alternatives are available and knowledge for the time being is free for all (sadly they are trying to change that) but for now read and get all you can to live a better and healthier life.
Our health is our own responsiblity, not the Doctors.
We can prevent a lot of the illnesses that we see today if we start early:) i'm glad that i found out that eating a S.A.D. was slowly killing me.

Yes I believe it is true myself but yes it is sad that the hospitals do not agree.

It took me years to realize that I'm responsible for my health I kept leaving it in the hands of doctors and several times they kept guessed what they thought was wrong and prescribed me medicine even thought they didn't perform any test but still they kept guessing, it was a waste of money and time.

They got me good, but no more.

I know this is an old thread, but as a cancer epidemiologist I thought I should clarify for anyone who happens upon it now and in the future. We are born with genes that have the potential to be mutated and result in cells that can become cancerous. To say we are "born with cancer cells" is a bit misstated: we are born with adult stem cells, which have the potential to differentiate into specific types of cells, and this "pluripotency" is characteristic of cancer cells. However, this doesn't mean we are born with cancer cells.

I wholeheartedly embrace the raw lifestyle and feel that science hasn't caught up (and maybe it never will because cancer prevention - my area of research - isn't as sexy as finding the "cure" since there's far less money to be made). But as part of the raw community, we should strive to be rigorous when we evaluate the raw diet and its benefits so that we can maintain high credibility. It's one of the reasons I really like Gabriel Cousens.

Just my two cents.
