Johns Hopkins Update - This is an extremely good article. Everyone should read it.

AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY ('TRY', BEING THE KEY WORD) TO 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
nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic,
but also to environmental, food and lifestyle factors.

5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing
diet to eat more adequately and healthy, 4-5 times/day
and by 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, gastrointestinal 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 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 other meat,
like chicken. 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 be an 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 becomes putrefied 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 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.

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.

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 cause 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 Corning Ware, 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.
Please share this with your whole email list........
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.

Unfortunately, it's only helpful if it's true.
As I started reading this, my little pea brain found it very familiar, and as I got into point 4, I realized it was an email I had been receiving for years now. The first thing I do anymore when I get these things is look it up on SNOPES. It was not, in fact written by Johns Hopkins.

Yeah, that's ok, no apologies. My cynical nature always makes me check stuff out. Lol It's the trust no one in me. I don't believe anything I hear and about half of what I see and read. Lol

agree sweet
All the points make sense to me, and I think all are accurate. But placing John Hopkins name on it and then finding that they, in fact, did not release it, makes me have second thoughts about it.
The problem with the net is that anyone can say anything and everyone just considers it the truth. Check it out. Friends no longer forward me emails because I reply back and debunk 90% of them. The problem is they want to believe something is true because that is the what they want to hear.

I think you would definately be healthier by following the points listed, especially #15.

Hang in there Mike during your second half. And when its over and you are healing and the pain drifts away, you can say "feels so good feeling good again"

Well, I cannot say that all
Well, I cannot say that all the points make sense to me, and I feel that many are inaccurate. If you read the rebuttal there are facts that do discount some of the points.

hope you're right
I do hope you're right Sweet, cuz I'm guilty of a lot of things mentioned.
Are you feeling better earwise?

Stupid ear
Not yet. It's still clogged, and I cannot hear anything out of that ear. It still hurts, and I still feel pressure in it, and it's like driving me nuts itchy in there and want to cram something into my ear and scratch, but I won't. This stinks.

ear-full
It sounds like an infection. My ears clog quite often, usually after I shower. One of my doctors called it "swimmers ear". Every doc I have gone to with severe clogging has done the same thing. They drip hydrogen peroxide in the ear. The problem with this is that the hp is ICE COLD.
At home, I fill an eye dropper and hold it in my hand until it is body warm, and lie down on my side and drip it in the clogged ear. It starts bubbling and tickles a bit. I leave it in for 10 or 15 minutes, place a paper towel over the ear and turn my clogged side down so it can drain. Sometimes it takes several doses.
This is just a suggestion Sweet.

Diagnosis and Treatment
Dr. Oz says putting peroxide in your ear both lets you know if you have an infection (fizzing, bubbling), and fights the infection. I've found that when I had issues during treatment that weren't helped by peroxide, Sweet Oil often helped.

I'll have to think about
I'll have to think about putting anything in my ears, thank you guys, a few others recommended both of those too. I know this is beyond stupid, but I HATE water or anything in my ears. Like I am a wacko about it. It freaks me out. I also cannot handle people wanting to or if they whisper in my ear. It freaks me out. So, I can guarantee you, it's not from swimmers ear or getting water in my ear because I avoid that like the plague. I don't know why it freaks me out so much.

Yes, I know, I'm a weanie.

Sweet Oil
LOL, well you are Italian, and sweet oil is basically olive oil....

I should have read the above posts before I checked in on you this morning....LOL.

I know it couldn't be swimmers ear, as the Lake was dry on vacation...LOL.

Diet, lifestyle, and cancer
Although some of the ideas presented sound like good practice, they are not proven to prevent or treat cancer. The whole "sugar feeds cancer" has had a lot of hype. All cells use sugar as their fuel. Meat does not "putrefy" in the gut. Protein intake via meat is the reason we developed as a species. Yes, a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains is a good idea but whether it prevents cancer has yet to be determined. An excellent book on the subject of cancer is: The Emperor of All Maladies by Siddhartha Mukherjee. Karen
