Prevent/Kill Cancer!

LATEST CANCER INFORMATION
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 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 foods it needs to multiple.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. 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 off 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 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 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, 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, unforgiving 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.

My Favorite Words!

I believe words can be extremely powerful. They can either make you or break you depending on the selection you choose to create your thoughts with. The mind is extremely powerful and when it is constantly flowing with positive, strong thoughts it can fuel your ambition and you can then accomplish your goals and reach your dreams and desires! I use the following words on a regular basis. They motivate me through my journey of maintaining a healthy, happy, lifestyle no matter what obstacles might come my way!

Cocoa Energy Balls!

Cocoa Energy Balls

This recipe was given to me from my older sister. She started making this vegan friendly treat for my nephew and he loves them so much! I finally made them after having the recipe for almost a month and I wish I had made them sooner!
When she sent me the recipe she noted, "Try not to eat the entire batch". I honestly kind of questioned that. Like, really... How could all of these super healthy seeds taste THAT good?!
Well, she was right! It was like love at first bite :) Everyone I share these with (whether they are healthy eaters or the complete opposite) will not leave me alone until I give them the recipe. And let me also say, it is kind of hard sharing these sometimes because I am always sad when they're gone! But I share anyway... seeing how I love helping others experience that healthy eating CAN be enjoyable, easy, and fun! This is a *No bake - 10min recipe*
This recipe is perfect for party hors d'oeuvres, everyday snack, treat, dessert, or just whatever...
You won't ever need to eat a piece of chocolate again :)
Oh yeah, the only downside to this recipe...
If you bring it to a party just be prepared to write the recipe down or bring a few copies with you or something!!! Also, bring toothpicks. Sometimes the seeds like to stay in between your teeth.

Ingredients:
-2 cups finely shredded 40% reduced fat coconut flakes (I get organic at Whole Foods)
-1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (I get at Trader Joe's)
-1/4 cup raw shelled hemp seed (organic, Whole Foods)
-1/4 cup coarsely ground flaxseed (organic, Whole Foods)
-1/4 cup Chia seed (Trader Joe's)
-1/4 cup real natural peanut butter (I use ADAM's)
-1/3 cup organic virgin coconut oil (Trader Joe's)
-1/3 cup organic (raw is optional) honey (Costco)

Utensils:
* 1 large mixing bowl
* measuring cups
* spoon
* covered storage container
* super clean, washed hands

Directions:
1. Mix all dry ingredients together well in bowl.
2. Add remaining 3 ingredients (peanut butter, coconut oil, and honey)
3. Mix together super good with spoon/hands/both. (I start with a spoon then wash my hands right before mixing it up with my hands)
4. Roll into tablespoon sized balls. (Recipe should make 25 balls of heaven).
5. Refrigerate. Eat cold or at room temp. Don't let them sit out for too long, as they will melt from the coconut oil being at room temp for too long. If it happens they will still be edible but possibly transform into the mushy looking mixture you began with.

*If you don't have any of these ingredients, the recipe will cost approximately $20-30 to get started up, but you will be able to make it many times with most of the ingredients you purchased. If that scares you, a great portion of that money comes from buying bags of the seeds. You can find them in the bulk section at stores like Whole Foods and just purchase the small amount the first time.
