Important Information about cancer


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 .    

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 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 marro w, 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 tumour size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumour 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.

   WHAT 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 amino 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 cel ls 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 putrefied and leads to more toxic build-up.

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, Florescence, 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, hatred 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.

Increase Your Happiness Factor

When you tend to hold on to stress, unexpected circumstances can be particularly overwhelming.
Whether you have financial difficulties, worry that your job is in jeopardy, have health problems it can sometimes feel like you barely pick yourself up from one emotional crisis when the next hits.
The reality is that situations that cause anxiety and pain are a part of life and can't be entirely avoided.
Because you can't eliminate these situations from your life, it's important to ensure that you also have positive life experiences so stress and crisis has less impact on your emotional well-being.
Usually when you feel stressed, angry, upset or sad, you've got good reason.
When painful events happen, it often feels like happiness is out of our control.
But, you can cause positive experiences and emotions in your life as well, which will keep your emotions on a more even keel.

1. Do pleasant things today.
Don't underestimate the power a few immediate positive experiences will have on your mood and emotions.
Schedule at least one thing a day that makes you feel good.
It could be anything: a phone call with a friend, exercising, eating food you love, watching a movie, taking a walk, reading a book or magazine, or being alone.

2. Set Goals.
Set goals that will bring positive experiences into your life.
If you've been passed up for a raise, set a goal to increase your value at work and earn a raise.
If you don't think they'll ever recognize your worth, set a goal to find work that will.
Again, schedule the small steps into your daily life.
Keep focused on your larger goal and continually assess your progress.
Whether achieving your goal will bring more money, better health, or a sense of accomplishment, identify the goals that will make your life better.

3. Connect with Friends and Family.
Many research studies indicate that having close relationships is the biggest predictor of happiness.
If you have conflict in your life, build or repair relationships.
A few simple ways to keep friends and family members close include being kind, compassionate, and non-judgmental.
Listen when they're having a hard time.
Be direct and ask for what you want and need.

4. Attend to the Positive.
Emotions last only a few seconds.
However thinking about and focusing on the things that are bothering you can keep those emotions around for much longer.
Notice if you tend to focus on the negative.
If that's the case, refocus on the positive events in your life.
Make a list of what your grateful for or remember what happened today or this week that made you smile, laugh or gave you a sense of calm.
Take a few minutes and relive that moment in your mind.

5. Let go of worrying.
If you notice yourself worried about problems in your life or expectations you can't live up to, let it go.
Refocus back onto the positive aspects of your life and the goals you've set for yourself.
If that seems too difficult, simply focus on your breath.
Anywhere you find yourself sitting or standing inhale and exhale.
If you're distracted by your worry thoughts, bring your mind back to your breathing and the sensation of inhaling and exhaling.
If you have good reason to feel bad, make some positive changes.
It's important to ensure that positive life experiences balance out stressful and overwhelming times.

13 Tips to Quit Smoking
No. 1: Know Why You Want to Quit
So you want to quit smoking, but do you know why? “Because it’s bad for you” isn’t good enough. To get motivated, you need a powerful, personal reason to quit. Maybe you want to protect your family from secondhand smoke. Maybe the thought of lung cancer frightens you. Or maybe you’d like to look and feel younger. Choose a reason that is strong enough to outweigh the urge to light up.

No. 2: Don’t Go Cold Turkey

It may be tempting to toss your cigarettes and declare you’ve quit, plain and simple. But going cold turkey isn’t easy to do. Among those who try to stop smoking without therapy or medication, 95% end up relapsing. The reason is that smoking is an addiction. The brain depends on nicotine. In its absence, the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal occur.
No. 3: Try Nicotine-Replacement Therapy

When you stop smoking, nicotine withdrawal may make you frustrated, depressed, restless, or angry. The craving for “just one drag” may be overwhelming. Nicotine-replacement therapy can reduce these feelings. Studies suggest nicotine gum, lozenges, and patches can help double your chances of quitting successfully when used with an intensive behavioral program. But using these products while smoking is generally not recommended.

No. 4: Ask About Prescription Pills

To ease nicotine withdrawal without using products that contain nicotine, ask your doctor about prescription medications. There are pills that reduce cravings by altering the areas of the brain affected by nicotine. This change may also make smoking less satisfying if you do pick up a cigarette. Other drugs can help reduce troubling withdrawal symptoms, such as depression or inability to concentrate.

No. 5: Don’t Go It Alone

Tell your friends, family, and co-workers that you’re trying to quit. Their encouragement could make the difference. You may also want to join a support group or talk to a counselor. Behavioral therapy is a type of counseling that helps you identify and stick to quit-smoking strategies. Combine behavioral therapy with nicotine-replacement products or medication to boost your odds of success.

No. 6: Manage Stress

One reason people smoke is that the nicotine helps them relax. Once you quit, you’ll need another way to cope with stress. Try getting regular massages, listening to relaxing music, or learning yoga or tai chi. If possible, avoid stressful situations during the first few weeks after you stop smoking.

No. 7: Avoid Alcohol & Other Triggers

Certain activities may boost your urge to smoke. Alcohol is one of the most common triggers, so try to drink less when you first quit. If coffee is a trigger, switch to tea for a few weeks. And if you usually smoke after meals, find something else to do instead, like brushing your teeth or chewing gum.

No. 8: Clean House

Once you’ve smoked your last cigarette, toss all of your ashtrays and lighters. Wash any clothes that smell like smoke and clean your carpets, draperies, and upholstery. Use air fresheners to help rid your home of that familiar scent. You don’t want to see or smell anything that reminds you of smoking.

No. 9: Try and Try Again

It’s very common to have a relapse. Many smokers try several times before giving up cigarettes for good. Examine the emotions and circumstances that lead to your relapse. Use it as an opportunity to reaffirm your commitment to quitting. Once you’ve made the decision to try again, set a “quit date” within the next month.

No. 10: Get Moving

Physical activity can reduce nicotine cravings and ease some withdrawal symptoms. When you want to reach for a cigarette, put on your inline skates or jogging shoes instead. Even mild exercise is helpful, such as walking the dog or pulling weeds in the garden. The extra calories you burn will also ward off weight gain as you quit smoking.

No. 11: Eat Fruits & Veggies

Don’t try to diet while giving up cigarettes – too much deprivation is bound to backfire. Instead, focus on eating more fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy products. A Duke University study suggests these foods make cigarettes taste terrible. This gives you a leg up in fighting your cravings while providing disease-fighting nutrients

No. 12: Choose Your Reward

In addition to the tremendous health benefits, one of the perks of giving up cigarettes is all the money you will save. Reward yourself by spending part of it on something fun.

No. 13: Do It for Your Health

There’s more than the monetary reward to consider. Smoking cessation has immediate health benefits. It lowers your blood pressure and reduces your pulse after only 20 minutes. Within a day, oxygen and carbon monoxide levels in your blood return to normal, and risk of a heart attack decreases. Long-term benefits include a reduced risk for coronary heart disease, stroke, lung cancer, and other cancers.

TIPS TO SLEEP WELL

The following sleep tips, compiled from various sources,
may prove helpful to some of my fellow insomniacs.

* Only use your bed for sleeping, not for reading, doing
paperwork, watching TV, snacking, or making phone calls.

* If you've been lying in bed but are beginning to fear
you're not going to drop off, try some of these techniques:
Count sheep or count backwards from 100 (one of my favorites)
to stop yourself from thinking about the problems of yesterday
or tomorrow; breathe deeply for awhile; or visualize some
peaceful place.

* If you can't get to sleep after lying in bed for 30 minutes or
more, get up for awhile. What to do? Try reading something incredibly
boring.

* Develop a bedtime routine.

* Keep regular bedtime hours.

* Before bedtime, avoid tobacco and caffeinated beverages
(not just coffee, but other drinks like tea, cola, and Dr. Pepper).

* Avoid alcohol right before bedtime — a nightcap might get your
mind fuzzy enough to put you to sleep, but such sleep may be
interrupted by periods of awakening. By contrast, the stress-lowering
effect of a drink with dinner may help to promote sleep later.

* Avoid naps (or falling asleep in front of boring TV programs, as I do).

* Try to get up at the same time every day rather than sleeping
in on weekends.

* Exercise every day, but not shortly before bedtime since exercise
gets the adrenaline going.

* If you use an illuminated clock for a wakeup alarm, place it where
you can't keep looking at it to check the time.

* Buy a firm mattress and keep your bedroom well ventilated (a cool
temperature works best for me).

* And you might also try some of these: a warm bath, warm milk, light
bedtime snack, massage, or quiet music (which turns itself off automatically).

* Use earplugs for extreme quiet.

* If you have a painful joint or a headache, take a pain pill before
bedtime (but be sure it doesn't contain caffeine).

* Avoid stimulating reading or television shows late at night.

If the insomnia stubbornly persists,check with your
doctor to make suresome underlying health problem (such as depression, anxiety,hyperthyroidism,heart failure, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)isn't keeping youawake. If all is well, you might ask for one of the severaltypes of prescription sleeping pills that can be useful in the short term.
