Cancer Info Part 3

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 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 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.

f. 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.

g. 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.

h.. 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.

Minerals Minerals Minerals

One of the first things we discovered when we started researching natural alternatives was that we needed to take a liquid or colloidal mineral supplement. The results were instant and obvious to both of us. More energy, less need for extra sleep, less cravings, better skin, generally higher resistance to illness (all a big plus for those of us wanting to recover from chronic fatigue syndrome).


Why minerals?
Our bodies cannot produce minerals. We need to get them from food sources.

Why supplement our food?
Our modern farming methods have over stripped our soils and without the ancient (& biblical) techniques of rotating crops, composting & leaving fields fallow (ie empty of sown crops) for long periods of time our soils have no opportunity to re-mineralise.

So our plants and animals (and ourselves) are mineral deficient. The adding of nitrogen and phosphorus etc to soils makes the vegies look amazing and large but they are mineral deficient. Some of the figures we have seen show things like the iron in 1 tomato 50 years ago was nearly 1000 times more than the iron in a regular tomato today. Even the organic varieties although they are heaps, heaps better and worth buying (or growing yourselves!) are unfortunately not a patch on what we could have had 50-100 years ago.

What mineral supplements do we take?
We take an all natural colloidal mineral supplement - e-mail us if you want to know which one - some are synthetic. We take this twice a day 10mls approx at a time. Our kids have been on it from the time they could drink from a cup and talk about energy. They are also very rarely sick.
Plus we take a multi - vitamin and mineral tablet. Lauren takes a women's and Craig takes a general.
It is our understanding that the natural, colloidal minerals are the most bio available, much more than synthetic and much more than tablet. However, multivitamin and mineral tablets are good because you need minerals in your body to take up vitamins so good ones include both. High quality (which unfortunately usually means higher price) is absolutely essential. Check your wee. The cheaper your vitamin the more your kidneys expel and the brighter yellow your wee.
