LATEST CANCER INFORMATION posted on Facebook 22Feb13

from Johns Hopkins

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 …

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 di

fficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other

sites.

11. An e

ffective way to battle cancer is to STARVE the cancer cells by not feeding it

with foods it needs to multiple.

What cancer cells feed on:

a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting o

ff sugar it cuts off one important food supply

to the cancer cells. Note: 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 o

ff milk and substituting with unsweetened soy

milk, cancer cells will 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 t o 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 co

ffee, 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 di

fficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes.

Undigested meat remaining in the intestines will 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, 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.

Omnivores- eat both animal & plant-based foods, as well as dairy and dairy products such as cheese.
Pescatarians – eats fish, seafood & plant-based foods and dairy.
Vegetarians – mainly eat a plant-based diet, but may choose to eat fish, seafood, egg, and dairy.
Vegans – strictly eat only plant-based foods; no dairy, egg or any animal derived foods like honey, gelatin, mayonnaise, chicken or beef broth.
Gluten-free – A gluten-free diet excludes foods containing gluten. Gluten is a protein complex found in wheat (including kamut and spelt), barley, rye and triticale. Corn and rice also contain gluten, but are considered gluten-free, as the gluten in these species do not cause celiac disease.

Our  ‘Soup on the Corner’ truck pulled up in front of the courthouse steps, loaded with several pots of hot soup freshly made with love and care by several volunteers; we also had sandwiches, several bags of bread, doughnuts, a box of bananas. When we arrived there at 11am, there were already hundreds of people lining up for their hot cup of soup on this wet, cold morning.  A choir group sang lovely hyms like Amazing Grace which was so uplifting on a dreary day!

The seasoned volunteers knew exactly what to do and needed very little direction….tables were unloaded and set up  neatly with white plastic cloths,   and respective stations set up for serving the soup, sandwiches and buns. Herman Glockl called everyone to order and offered thanks for the food they were about to receive. He profusely thanked the volunteers for their services over the last 30 years! He also reminded that the food is made and served with love, and it should also be received with love, and everyone has to be patient and wait for their turn….no rudeness will be tolerated. There were several experienced volunteers up front to ensure the line moved in an orderly fashion, then the service began.  First we served soup, sandwiches and bread.  Then they lined up again and came a second time for their coffee, doughnuts and bananas.  I must admit I have never seen such a demand for the white stuff called “sugar and coffee creamer”.  Some wanted double-double, some wanted tripple-tripple, and some wanted five and five, which I had never ever imagined possible to consume five teaspoons of sugar in one cup of coffee! Seeing the shock on my face, some said they needed it to give them the energy to get through the day….Who am I to argue, and tell them what is good and what is not…when that is all they have!

There were young people, old people, those with different needs and circumstances…. a few with their heads turned down and unwilling to meet our gaze or say “good morning” or “thank you” — others with a quiet smile or  up-turned happy face or  a glint in their eye,  as if they are fully prepared to live life to the fullest  no matter what! Contrary to popular belief, not everyone in that line-up was a ‘drugee’ or homeless –perhaps there were a few….but I saw many older folks that needed the extra hand-out to make ends meet. No questions were asked, and no answers were given! We were simply there to offer them a glimpse of human kindness!

I was so glad I was there and able to take part in this very humbling human exeprience! It stirred something very deep in my own heart and soul, and am so thankful for the experience.

I was amazed at how she could quote and share insights from the
good, the bad and the ugly of her own life, and along the way quoting her own
personal prophets, from Deepak Chopra, Marianne Williamson and Toni Morrison to
Maya Angelou, Martin Luther King and Joseph Campbell – and all without a single
note!

Here are some of the A-HA moments for me:

“You are a wave in the ocean of God”

“Your purpose is spirit”

“Your life is validated only by your service”

You become what you believe…your beliefs become your
lenses..

Every intention has a cause and effect…..

Love and Fear are the only emotions that guide us…

Always learn to listen to the whisper – that inner voice
that can never be wrong.

That is our emotional GPS; often we ignore it and do what
our mind tells us to do!

Find your Life’s Purpose…create a vision for yourself…and
take every step towards it..

Work on being WHOLE

Be Grateful for everything…even the losses; they teach us a
lesson.

The post An Evening with Oprah – Jan. 24, 2013 Vancouver appeared first on Jinis Ethnic Gourmet.

Happy 2013!

At the start of each year we make New Year’s resolutions to lose a few pounds and look trim
in time for the spring! You can surely lose a few pounds with a crash diet, but
the chances are you will gain it all back in a few months! This yo-yo dieting
can be very damaging to your health and metabolism.

Instead we can look at a more long-term SOLUTION  to the problem of gaining weight, which in fact will be more beneficial for
your Health and well-being overall.  All it takes is a little effort and some small changes to eat healthy and exercise! You
don’t have to spend hours in the kitchen or gym to achieve noticeable results!  Before long you will begin to feel less tired
and more energetic and even your friends and co-workers will notice the  positive changes in you! But if you keep doing the same thing day you did for
the last 10 years, could you expect different results?

So here are the 3 P’s to get you motivated:

1. Picture in your mind a new healthier you!  A picture says a thousand words, and the
   thought of that mental image should give you the motivation to take the first
   step even on days that you don’t want to get out of bed!    Remember the time you went on your first
   date, or to the interview to land that dream job? You were charged up, full of
   enthusiasm; your smiling face had success written all over…and of course you
   enjoyed every moment of it!

2. Plan what you want to achieve,  and how you are going to do it.  Break it down into small steps that you can
work on every day. Perhaps you are too busy with your daily work routine etc.
that you have no time or energy to figure out everything you need to do.

3. Plunge into action!  Don’t put it off just because you don’t know how to start.  Procrastination is the worst enemy!
If you want to set yourself a simple workout routine, consult a fitness expert at your local gym. Or, you may prefer to walk, use a treadmill or engage
in some fitness activity for at least 30 minutes a day.

If you want help with a healthy diet, consult someone who can help you
with a menu plan and recipes to get you started quickly. In fact, you will
benefit by taking the guesswork out of your planning,  and put your energy into doing.  The chances are you will remain
motivated.

If you do anything for 21 days, it becomes a routine that will become a habit.  Before you know it, you will not
only lose weight, but will be healthy and fit for life!

As a special New Year’s gift, I am offering a 3-week “Healthy-licious Eating’ program starting January 24^th
to the first six lucky people at a special price of $125.00.  (That is a saving of $100.00)! This course
will be held at a downtown Vancouver location.

Let’s take a look at the animal world in an ideal world, when
cows grazed leisurely on luxurious

Why do we have to try
so hard to lose weight?

pastures…yes, they fed themselves on auto-pilot too, except
that cows did what Nature intended them to do, and back then, they were happy
and healthy.  But now they are raised in
captivity in a feed lot, milked via automatic machines, and fed on corn by
products laced with antibiotics and other additives such as MSG designed to
fatten them faster for slaughter.

What about human foods in super markets and fast food
chains?  Over 80% of these foods also
come laced with additives such as MSG, chemical preservatives, stabilizers,
corn starch, large amounts of sodium and sugar.

Have you stopped to think why people are constantly fighting
a losing battle with excess weight, various forms of cancer, diabetes and heart
disease? The human body which is one of Nature’s marvellous creations is simply
not designed to take in such large amounts of chemicals, sugars and fats all at
once creating toxic waste tanks in our bodies!

Nutrition – what are
we supposed to have?

Basically all foods fall into three groups: Proteins, Carbs
and Fats.  While we have no shortage of
these food groups, our bodies are starved of the real nutrients such as
phyto-chemicals and anti-oxidants which are only present in fruits and
vegetables. An average North American gets barely two servings of these,
whereas the recommended amount is 5-8 servings a day! This is a huge hole in
our present nutrition that needs to be fixed, if one is keen on achieving a
healthy body – free of excess weight and diseases.
