CANCER CHARACTERISTICS

As a medical physician for over 50 years, I strive to give you the best medical information on controversial medical subjects and let you, the reader, come to your own conclusions. I have no ties to any organization, pharmaceutical, or lobby group. As an practicing medical acupuncturist since 1982, I find western medicine and medical acupuncture are very complimentary that results in astounding healing in pain management, addictions to cigarettes and food, and a host of other maladies. Let me know how we are doing. Your constructive comments are always appreciated.

THE BEHAVIOR OF CANCER

We all have cancer cells in our bodies. They are like snowflakes, and only cause a problem when they become snowballs. You have cancer cells occur between 6 to 10 times in your lifetime. When a doctor tells you there are no more cancer cells in your body after his treatment, it just means that tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached a detectable size of a snowball. If you have a strong immune system, your cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming snowballs.

NUTRITION AND DIET IN CANCER

Everyone with cancer has multiple nutritional deficiencies often caused by lifestyle, genetics, food, and the environment. To overcome this, change your diet and add supplements to spark up your immune system. A good way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding them foods that cancer needs to multiply.

Cancer cells are tumor-genic and independent of their local environment because they acquire genetic and epigenetic changes. Local normal cells may permit and even nourish the growth of transformed cells. These tumor-genic cancer cells secrete signals that change the surrounding tissues. (Source: Cell 135, 437,2008)

Raw vegetables and beans sprouts, provide live enzymes and reach your cells within 15 minutes. They nourish and enhance the growth of healthy cells. All enzymes are destroyed at temperatures over 104°. Supplements of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and omega-3, help your body's killer cells to destroy cancer cells.

Cancer cells can only live in an acid environment. A meat diet is very acidic, and contains antibiotics, growth hormones, and parasites---which are all harmful especially if you have cancer. Meat protein is difficult to digest, and needs a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat in your bowel becomes putrefied and produces more toxins. If you don’t eat meat, more enzymes can be freed to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allow the body’s killer cells to destroy the cancer.

A better choice is a diet of fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds and nuts, along with a small amount of fruit to help your body become alkaline.

Avoid caffeine products like coffee tea and chocolate. Green tea is a better choice since it has cancer fighting properties.

Drink filtered or purified water to avoid heavy metals and toxins present in tap water. Do not drink distilled water since it is acidic.

Cancer cells can't live in an oxygenated environment. Exercise, deep breathing, and oxygen therapy are means to destroy cancer cells.

ENVIRONMENT AND CANCER

What are the environmental toxins causing cancer in your family? Check your surroundings. If cancer has hit a number of your family members, don't assume its genetics. It could still be environmental toxins that cause cancer. If everyone grew up in the same house, ate the same foods, were exposed to similar things, use the same products, and breath the same air, it may well be genetic.

You can help your body remove an overload of toxins ingested through diet or the environment by natural body cleansing.

Dry cleaners use perchlorethylene, also called perc. This highly hazardous air pollutant has been linked to cancer and neurological damage. It is used in tens of thousands cleaning operations nationwide. The EPA has given the dry cleaning industry 15 years to replace their old machines that cause this problem.

Cell phones, cell towers, high-energy electrical wires, have all been implicated in cancer risks. WHO has recently placed tanning booths on the high-risk cancer list.

CHEMOTHERAPY AND RADIATION

The aim of chemotherapy is to poison the rapidly growing cancer cells. Unfortunately they also destroy rapidly growing healthy cells found in your bone marrow, bowel, liver, kidney, heart and lungs.

Radiation destroys cancer cells, by burning and scarring them. They also, however, damage healthy cells tissues and organs.

Both chemotherapy and radiation will shrink the cancer size. When the body builds up too many toxins from the treatment, the immune system is compromised. Both treatments can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery often causes cancer cells to spread to other sites.
