| CANCER
Millions of Americans are living with a diagnosis of
cancer.
Researchers are learning more about what causes cancer, and
how it grows and progresses. And they are looking for new and better
ways to prevent, detect, and treat it. Researchers also are looking for
ways to improve the quality of life for people with cancer during and
after their treatment.
So What is cancer?
Here is a definition of cancer according to the National Cancer
Institute.
Defining Cancer
Cancer is a term used for diseases in which abnormal cells divide
without control and are able to invade other tissues. Cancer cells can
spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymph systems.
Cancer is not just one disease but many diseases. There are more than
100 different types of cancer. Most cancers are named for the organ or
type of cell in which they start - for example, cancer that begins in
the colon is called colon cancer; cancer that begins in basal cells of
the skin is called basal cell carcinoma.
Cancer types can be grouped into broader categories. The main categories
of cancer include:
Carcinoma - cancer that begins in
the skin or in tissues that line or cover internal organs.
Sarcoma - cancer that begins in
bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels, or other connective or
supportive tissue.
Leukemia - cancer that starts in
blood-forming tissue such as the bone marrow and causes large numbers of
abnormal blood cells to be produced and enter the blood.
Lymphoma and myeloma - cancers that
begin in the cells of the immune system.
Central nervous system cancers - cancers that begin in the tissues of
the brain and spinal cord.
(For definitions of other cancer-related terms, see NCI's Dictionary of
Cancer Terms.)
Origins of Cancer
All cancers begin in cells, the body's basic unit of life. To understand
cancer, it's helpful to know what happens when normal cells become
cancer cells.
The body is made up of many types of cells. These cells grow and divide
in a controlled way to produce more cells as they are needed to keep the
body healthy. When cells become old or damaged, they die and are
replaced with new cells.
However, sometimes this orderly process goes wrong. The genetic material
(DNA) of a cell can become damaged or changed, producing mutations that
affect normal cell growth and division. When this happens, cells do not
die when they should and new cells form when the body does not need
them. The extra cells may form a mass of tissue called a tumor.

Not all tumors are cancerous; tumors can be benign or malignant.
Benign tumors aren't cancerous. They can often be removed, and, in most
cases, they do not come back. Cells in benign tumors do not spread to
other parts of the body.
Malignant tumors are cancerous. Cells in these tumors can invade nearby
tissues and spread to other parts of the body. The spread of cancer from
one part of the body to another is called metastasis.
Some cancers do not form tumors. For example, leukemia is a cancer of
the bone marrow and blood.
Cancer Statistics
A new report from the nation's leading cancer organizations shows cancer
death rates decreased on average 2.1 percent per year from 2002 through
2004, nearly twice the annual decrease of 1.1 percent per year from 1993
through 2002. (Read more about the Annual Report.)
Estimated new cases and deaths from cancer in the United States in 2008:
New cases: 1,437,180 (does not include nonmelanoma skin cancers)
Deaths: 565,650
NCI's Cancer Stat Fact Sheets provide frequently requested cancer
statistics for a number of cancer types.
Here is a powerful and very enlightening article by John Hopkins (a
world leader in
research and education in medicine, public health, the
arts science and engineering) on cancer, which I think should be an
interest to all. Everyone knows someone or heard of someone who is
suffering from cancer. Please read on.

AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS
THE ONLY WAY TO TRY (TRY IS THE KEY WORD) AND ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHN
HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY .
Cancer Update from John 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 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 pro longed 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 the foods it needs to multiply.
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 color. 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 Soya milk cancer cells 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 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 all ows 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,
unforgiveness 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.

CANCER UPDATE FROM JOHN HOPKINS HOSPITAL , U S
- PLEASE READ
1. No plastic containers in micro.
2. No water bottles in freezer.
3. No plastic wrap in microwave.
Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This
information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as
well.
Dioxin chemicals causes 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.
Also, he pointed out that 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 t o actually melt
out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper
towel instead.
10 Reason why you should Avoid an Acidic pH
Blood cells 30 minutes after alkalized with X20
Blood cell with an acidic pH
If you enjoy ill health keep
your pH acidic!
According to the research of Dr. Enderlin, total
healing of chronic illnesses only takes place when
and if the blood is restored to a normal, slightly
alkaline pH. Let me repeat...
"Total healing of
chronic illness only takes place when and if the
blood is restored to a normal, slightly alkaline
pH."
What does pH means?
pH is the abbreviation for potential hydrogen.
The pH of any solution is the measure of its
hydrogen-ion concentration. The higher the pH
reading the more alkaline and oxygen rich the fluid
is. The lower the pH reading, the more acidic and
oxygen deprived the fluid is.
The pH is range is from 0 to 14, with 7.0
being neutral. anything above 7.0 is alkaline,
anything below 7.0 is acidic.
Human blood stays in a very narrow pH range
around 7.35 - 7.45. Below or above this range means
symptoms and disease. If blood pH moves too much
below 6.8 or above 7.8, cells stop functioning and
the patient dies. The ideal pH balance for blood is
7.4
Acidosis is a condition when our blood pH is very
acidic. It's an accumulation of more acid than our
body can effectively process. Prolonged periods of
acidosis affect not only the physical condition but
also the mental and emotional states of patients.
So if you or know someone who is very negative in
their outlook in life it may not be their
personality. It could be that their pH imbalanced,
in this case very acidic.
Here are 10 reasons
to avoid acidic pH:
1.
Keep your arteries, veins and heart healthy
If want to maintain healthy arteries, veins and
heart keep your blood pH alkaline. Acidosis is like
acid it erodes and eats into the cell wall membranes
of the heart, arteries and veins, weakening the
cardiovascular structures and inter connective
tissues.
2.
Prevent acceleration of Free-Radical Damage
and Premature Aging
When blood pH is acidic it causes partial lipid
breakdown and destructive oxidation cascades. Theis
accelerates Free Radical damage of the cell walls
and intracellular membranes structures, which then
unravel, kiling cells in the process. This is the
first step toward premature aging, creating
wrinkling, age spots, dysfunctional hormonal
systems, interfering with eyesight, memory, and a
host of other age-related phenomena.
3.
Prevent unneccessary FAT gain, Diabetes and
Obesity
The majority of weight problems, including Type 2
Diabetes and Obesity have major influence by an
acidic pH. When our pH is habitually acidic, a
condition known as Insulin Sensitivity or Syndrome X
results. That means our body thinks it's in famine
resulting in over production of insulin so that it
can convert all calories into fat and storing more
fat than usual. As more insulin are available to the
body , the higher the probability that fat will be
produced and stored, rather than used and burned as
energy.
Stress within the cells increases , making it
difficult for them to perform adequately and to
survive. Acidosis is thought to be an important yet
often underestimated precursor to Diabetes Mellitus.
Before synthetic insulin, diabetes was treated by
buffering the system with base or alkaline causing
powder.
4.
Prevent Cholesterol Plaque to Form
It has been found that the amount of cholesterol
in our diet is not the major factor in cholesterol
plaque formation rather the pH status appears to be
the factor more directly involved, bringing
cholesterol with the metals and other cellular
debris.
5.
Prevent Disruption in Blood Pressure
With a blood pH of less than 7.20 arteries become
dilated. Acidosis also causes persistent venuos
vasoconstriction ( a disease in the caliber of blood
vessels). The more acidic our blood pH, the greater
the fractional redistribution of blood to the
central vessels. When the contractability is
compromised, the workload of the heart increases.
6.
Prevent Disruption in Critical Lipid and
Fatty Acids
Fatty acids are directly involved in nerve and
brain function. Acidosis disrupts general lipid and
fatty acid metobolism within the body. When fatty
acid metabolism is disrupted, neurological problems
may arise including Multiple Sclerosis, Muscular
Degeneration and others, as well as problems with
hormonal balance within the endocrine system.
7.
Prevent Osteoporosis
Acidosis prevents efficient cellular and body
metabolism. It masses up the cellular communications
and functions. It effects the ability of the heart
to pump efficiently and rhythmically. It drains us
of energy and not allows stored energy reserves to
be used, and causes osteoporosis.
8.
Prevents Cancerous Cell Growth
Acidic pH promotes poor health. It inhibits the
regeneration of healthy cells and DNA-RNA synthesis.
An acidic environment is prime for CANCERUOS cell
growth. So if you want cancer sometime in your life
keep your pH very acidic by drinking lots of soda
(soda has a pH of 2.0) and have a high protein diet.
You don't even have to worry too much about all the
other bad stuff you can put into you body because
excessive soda alone can kill you.
CANCEROUS CELLS DO
NOT CONTAIN HYDROGEN ATOMS. WHEN HEALTHY CELLS HAVE
PLENTY OF HYDROGEN ATOMS, THEY CANNOT BE CANCEROUS.
IF WE CAN GET HYDROGEN INTO UNHEALTHY CELLS, THEY
CAN HEAL.
9. Promotes Healthy
Cell generation
An acidic pH, less oxygen are delivered to normal
healthy cells causing them to become unhealthy and
eventually they die.
10.
Promote Good Health
Electrolyte Potassium (K plus) and Sodium (Na
plus) channels are life- essential functions. It
effects our cardiovascular function, our heart. When
there is insufficient electrolytes management our
heart literally stops. Acidosis causes these
Life-essential functions becomes inactive. It also
affects how we feel and behave.
An acidic pH is the cause of Degenerative
Diseases
- Cardiovascular disease: arteriosclerosis,
Heart Attacks, Stroke, high Cholesterol, and
high blood Pressure
- All forms of cancer
- Type 2 Diabetes, Insulin Sensitivity,
Obesity
- Neurological Diseases MS< MD< ALS and
Parkinson's disease
- Liver & Kidney Disease
- Senility Dementia, Alzheimer's
- Immune Deficiencies
- Osteoporosis, Osteoarthritis & Tooth Loss
- Hormonal Imbalances
- Premature Aging, Male Prostate Problems
We CAN prevent all
of these degenerative diseases by keeping our pH
Alkaline (ideal pH is 7.4). Total healing of chronic
illness only takes place when and if the blood is
restored to a normal, slightly alkaline pH. A
healthy blood pH without cancer has acid/alkaline
balance almost equal. To efficiently assimilate
vitamins, minerals and food supplements, our
body pH has to be balanced. On the other hand if
it's acidic, the mucus in our small intestines can
block vitamin and mineral absorption.
Here are a couple of testimonials
Hazel Y. Moe, VIC AUSTRALIA
To date I have had my father on Ellagic Acid, Adult
SuperFood and Xtreme X20. He had bladder and prostate
cancer which we received good news on late last week.
After 5 months on the Ellagic Acid we are told that his
bladder cancer is gone and that his prostate cancer is
shrinking naturally. The Adult SuperFood has really
helped him to gain weight. He has put on 4 kilos and
weighs in at 79 kg now. His oxygen absorption rate is
96%, which is good for a man with this condition, I
attribute that to the Xtreme X20 which is oxygenating
his blood and tissues.
I have also received great results. I really love the
Ester's Secret Serum and Mask which I have been using
for some time now. My skin was 'dry' but as you can see
in my picture, it is really healthy now. The lines that
I previously had around my face especially the eyes are
now hardly noticeable. I use the serum twice daily after
cleansing & toning. I used the mask 4 times weekly for
the first 60, now I use the mask about once to twice a
week. It really is an amazing product!

Hi I am Ted Pevear and I discovered I had colon
cancer and it has been a long haul I was told that I had
beginning stage three and that my prognosis looked good.
I am drinking a lot of x2o with blast and I have found
that it has prevented many side effects that
chemotherapy does to people. So, I feel if I drink more
x2o along with the blast it helps eliminates the side
affects the chemo does and gives me energy and boosts my
immune system.
My surgeon cut out my appendix and colon in addition
with my tumor. The only thing left that they found was a
spot in one of my lymph nodes out of which there is
seventeen.
I have also discovered that by taking Ellagic Acid that
I found in the back office helps in conjunction with
chemo in shrinking the tumor.
So, I am sold on these products that is making life a
little easier for me.
Sincerely,
Ted Pevear |
