Something to Think About When You take Your Bite

Cancer Prevention

Here's some very useful and important information about cancer prevention:

1. Every person has cancer cells in the body.These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they havemultiplied to a few billion.When doctors tell cancer patients that thereare no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means thetests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reachedthe detectable size.

2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person'slifetime.

3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will bedestroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumours.

4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiplenutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental,food and lifestyle factors.

5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet andincluding supplements will strengthen the immune system.

6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells andalso 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 damageshealthy cells, tissues and organs.

8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reducetumour size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do notresult in more tumour destruction.

9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiationthe immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person cansuccumb to various kinds of infections and complications.

10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and becomeresistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells tospread to other sites.

11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by notfeeding it with the foods it need to multiply.

a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off oneimportant food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes likeNutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful.A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses but only invery small amounts.

b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in thegastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk andsubstituting with unsweetened soya milk cancer cells are being starved.Milo, Ovaltine, Horlicks are made with milk and best avoided.

c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet isacidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef orpork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, gr owth hormones,parasites, etc which are all harmful to people with cancer.

d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds,nuts and a little fruits helps put the body into an alkaline environment.About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juicesprovide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellularlevels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells.

e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have caffeine. Green tea isa better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties.

12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestiveenzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become putrefied andleads to more toxic buildup.

13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from oreating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls ofcancer cells and allow s the body's killer cells to destroy the cancercells.
14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac,anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc) to enable the body's ownkiller cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements (Maitake e.g .) areknown to cause cancer cells apoptosis, that is, induce cancer cells tocommit suicide.

15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive andpositive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger,unforgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidicenvironment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax,enjoy and trust God for healing.

16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercisingdaily and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellularlevel. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.

17. Cancer can be reversed with nutrition, supplements and clinicallyproven complementary and alternative therapies.

18. Cancer can be healed by the divine intervention of God the Healer.....

SUMMARY OF IMPORTANT INFO:

1. Sugar is a cancer feeder. Avoid sugar. Sugar substitutes like Equal,Spoonful, NutraSweet are made with Aspartame, a chemical that is harmful tothe body. A better natural alternative is Manuka honey in small amounts.
2. Milk causes the body to produce mucus. Cancer thrives on mucus. A bettercalcium alternative is unsweetened soya milk.
3. Green tea has anti-cancer properties. It is a better substitute forcoffee and tea, which have caffeine, bad for people with cancer.
4. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in colour. Betteralternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.
5. Meat like pork, beef, chicken contain livestock antibiotics, growthhormones, parasites, etc which are all harmful for people with cancer. Itis better to eat fish, or eat a little free-range chicken. Meat protein isdifficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigestedmeat remaining in the intestines become putrefied and leads to more toxicbuild up.
6. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from oreating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls ofcancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancercells.
7. Water - best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxinsand heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.
8. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink freshvegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some rawvegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104degrees F (40 degrees C) .
A little effort at our part will yield great return in the long run... keepup the discipline and enjoy every single movement in life.
The point is not to pay back kindness- but to pass it on.

STROKE: Remember The 1st Three Letters... S, T, R . . . (You may have seen this before, but . . this is important!) My friend sent this to me and encouraged me to post it and spread the word. I agree. If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks. Seriously... an ounce of prevention a pound of cure... Please read: STROKE IDENTIFICATION: During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food - while she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00pm, Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead. It only takes a minute to read this... A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough. RECOGNIZING A STROKE Thank God for the sense to remember the "3" steps, STR . Read and Learn! Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke. Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions: S *Ask the individual to SMILE. T *Ask the person to TALK . to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (i.e. . . It is sunny out today) R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS . {NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out their tongue... if the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke} If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call 9-1-1 immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

PARA SA ATIN No. 5

A very good friend from San Jose, CA sent us this article. We thought that you might enjoy this.~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A lecturer, when explaining stress management to an audience, raised a glass of water and asked, "How heavy is this glass of water?"Answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g.The lecturer replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter.It depends on how long you try to hold it.If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem.If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm.If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance.In each case, it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes."He continued, "And that's the way it is with stress management. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on. ""As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again.When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden.""So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down.Don't carry it home.You can pick it up tomorrow.Whatever burdens you're carrying now, let them down for a moment if you can."So, my friend, why not take a while to just simply RELAX. Put down anything that may be a burden to you right now. Don't pick it up again until after you've rested a while.Life is short.Enjoy it!Here are some great ways of dealing with the burdens of life:* Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue.* Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.* Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be recalled by their maker.* If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be quiet.* If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.* It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to be kind to others.* Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you won't have a leg to stand on.* Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.* The second mouse gets the cheese.* When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.* Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live.* You may only be just one person in the world, but you may also be the whole world to one person.* Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.* We could learn a lot from crayons... Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names, and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box.*A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

Never Light A Candle in A/C Rooms

Very important
NEVER LIGHT CANDLE in A/C ROOMS .
Prevention is better than cure.
A friend (Saudi) in our group (Aramco) passed away last week due to carbon -monoxide poisoning. It happened when she lighted an aroma therapeutic candle for the night in a room with Air-conditioner ON. Due to lack of oxygen in the room, the burning of the candle cannot fully oxidise & thus forms dangerous carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide will prevent oxygen exchange in the lungs, resulting in the Person dozing off to a state of unconsciousness & eventually death in less than an hour, depending on the room size. This email is to make you aware of such danger when lighting aroma therapeutic candles in any un-ventilated rooms. Please forward this e-mail to all your loved ones and friends.
