What to Eat & What To Avoid when you've cancer

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.


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.


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)..

           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.

            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.

            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.

            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.

            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.

            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..

           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.

          
           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.
