Adopt A Vegetarian Detox Diet For Cancer Prevention

Cancer is a stealthy and dangerous disease that is not well understood. There have been links made between cancer and high risk behaviors, but there is no clear recipe for either the development of or the avoidance of cancer. Many naturopathic doctors, however, say that cancer prevention is possible when you adopt a detox diet.


A detox diet can help you to cleanse and remove toxins from your body. Naturopathic doctors suggests that cancer is likely to result when you have too much toxins in your body. A detox diet is primarily vegetarian. Vegetarian foods are biochemically more acceptable to your body as compared to junk food like potato chips and diet pepsi. They are fiber rich and are better able to help you cleanse waste products much better.


A vegetarian detox diet can help you with lowered risks when it comes to cancer. Whether you are looking out for your future and you have never had cancer or you are recovering from cancer, getting into a vegetarian diet may be a good consideration.


The Meat Association

Meat has been linked with the risk for developing cancer. Red meat is especially notorious for being listed among the offenders. While no one is certain why the meat is linked to cancer, there are a few theories.


When red meat is grilled or broiled , it is blackened on the outside. Charcoal is also suspected to be a carcinogen. When you eat the blackened surface of your hamburger or steak, you are actually eating charcoal.


Another theory is that the animals reared nowadays for human consumptoms are often fed with hormones to hasten growth. It could be that those hormones continue to work after the cow is dead. Instead of stimulating healthy muscle growth though, they start to affect healthy cells negatively. Chickens and pigs are also similary fed hormones nowadays. Hence, consider switching or eating more vegetarian foods for cancer prevention.


Health Benetifs Of Antioxidants

Antioxidants are chemical compounds found in many of the plant foods that you eat. They work together with your natural defenses to combat disease. They are especially useful when it comes to promoting healthy tissue growth rather than cancerous tissue growth.


Spinach as well as blueberries, apples and several other plant foods are rich in antioxidants. The great news is that these foods are highly nutritious and are also very flavorful.


Cleansing Foods

To improve your health and for cancer prevention, select a plan that emphasizes on foods that can help you to remove bowels easily and on an everyday basis. A vegetarain detox diet ought to fit the bill!

Pancreatic Cancer and Its Alternative Treatments

Pancreatic cancer affects the pancreas, an organ which forms part of our digestive system. It is caused in much the same way as most cancers, whereby abnormal growth in cells leads to a lump on the pancreas which then requires treatment.

Most pancreatic cancers begin at the head of the pancreas, but it is possible for them to start in any part of the organ. The most common type of pancreatic cancer is known as exocrine, which begins by forming in the cells lining the ducts. However, another type of pancreatic cancer is known as endocrine, which is characterized by the production of hormones, and this is much rarer.

Causes

There are no specific causes of pancreatic cancer, but as with many cancers there are a number of factors which can increase the risk of us developing the condition. Smoking is perhaps the most obvious thing that we can avoid to prevent getting the disease, but eating a diet high in fats and sugars, as well as taking relatively little exercise, being overweight or drinking too much alcohol can all increase our risk levels.

Symptoms

Pancreatic cancer is particularly difficult to diagnose because there are so many different possible symptoms. These include itchy skin, general sickness, diabetes, fever, producing dark-coloured urine, developing stomach pain, experiencing weight loss or developing jaundice. However, as these are also common symptoms of many other conditions it is not easy to find out whether we have become affected.

Standard Treatment

All of these vague symptoms mean that pancreatic cancer is often diagnosed late, meaning the level of treatment required will be much more extreme.

Earlier treatment will often involve surgery, but if the cancer is caught later then this will usually mean being treated with chemotherapy, with all the nasty side effects that this can produce, such as sickness, rashes and fluid retention.

Radiotherapy is not used for the treatment of pancreatic cancer, and is generally only being used in the later stages of the disease where it can help to slow it down.

Alternative Treatments

Due to the harsh nature of the standard forms of treatment, many of us choose to go with alternative treatments instead. There are a number of different types of alternative treatments available, and often they can work together to lead to the best results.

Bio-photonic light treatment is a natural form of treatment that has been seen to produce good results. This is concerned with increasing the energy levels of individual cells which have become damaged and weakened due to the cancer. Through a process of directing UV rays towards them, these cells are pumped full of energy to better help them to restore our natural energy levels, thereby helping us to deal with the condition.

This often goes alongside a very kind and non-invasive type of treatment consisting of emotional freedom techniques (EFT). This consists of a whole range of different treatments that aim to focus on our emotional healing and meridian balancing. It is based on the idea that many cancers and degenerative diseases are triggered by a particularly stressful or traumatic event in our lives, which distorts the positive balance of the cells within the body. The aim is then to reverse this process by balancing the cells.

It can consist of a certain level of counselling and therapy to get to the heart of the problem, and once this has been done we are then subjected to a certain amount of treatment though special appliances, which aim to restore the strength of our bodies to the levels seen before the disease took over.

There are also a few formulas which people can use as alternative therapies, two of which are Formula MVA and Formula PG. Formula MVA is a dietary supplement that works by boosting the immune system, thereby helping the body to naturally overcome the cancerous cells. It contains a whole host of natural substances, including Palladium, Vitamins B1, B2 and B12, and Acetyl Cystiene amongst others, and it aims to increase the energy levels in the cells. It can even be used alongside traditional treatments to lessen their damaging side effects.

Formula PG makes use of peptides which come from pig spleens, which have long been known to help patients with degenerative diseases. These peptides allow cells and organs to communicate better with their surrounding environments and each other.

All of these alternative therapies can be used individually or in combination to produce an entirely different type of treatment for cancer sufferers that do not suffer from the same painful side effects of conventional treatments.

Acid Alkaline Balance is the Ailment, the Disease is Cancer and All Chronic Afflictions and the Herbal Remedy is Balancing Your Ph

The Nasty Blunt Truth about Modern Medicine and Cancer! “Modern Medicine’s Secret Ph Cure”

Any American who was ever treated for cancer by modern medicine has been ripped off, are you one of them? There are many someones right now screaming their lungs out because they are dying of a cancerous disease and there is no pain killer strong enough to help them. But guess what; not only are they dying a horrible death, they are being deceived by the institutions that are supposed to help them? Those institutions who found the cure for cancer are withholding it from those who need it. That is right; they would rather see you die than apply the cure that they have known about for years.

Here are a couple of direct hits between the eyes of those institutions. The real search for a cancer cure has been over for years. Anyone who asks for money to help find the cure for cancer is a fool, a charlatan or a liar. Modern medicine long ago cured cancer but told no one what they did. You heard me right, modern medicine found the cure for all cancers years ago. And any doctor who says that statement is wrong is either a total fool who should not hold a doctorate degree or a complete liar.

Read this next paragraph and you will see why I would make so many bold statements about one of the biggest most respected institutions in the world. This next paragraph says it all and cannot be denied, it is the absolute smoking gun. 

Dr. Otto Warburg (doctorate degrees in both chemistry and medicine) was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1931 for the discovery that, unlike healthy cells in the human body, cancer cells do not “breathe” oxygen (and except for Adolf Hitler would have been awarded a second Nobel Prize for more work in the same area of research). Cancer cells are anaerobic. In other words, they function with no oxygen present. In fact, cancer cells cannot survive in the presence of high levels of oxygen.

Dr. Warburg, in his Nobel Prize winning study, illustrated the environment of the cancer cell. A normal healthy cell undergoes an adverse change when it can no longer receive oxygen to convert glucose into energy. In the absence of oxygen, the cell reverts to a primal nutritional program to nourish itself by converting glucose through the process of fermentation. The lactic acid produced by fermentation lowers the cell pH (acid/alkaline balance) and destroys the ability of DNA and RNA to control cell division. The cancer cells then begin to multiply. The lactic acid simultaneously causes severe local pain as it destroys cell enzymes. Cancer appears as a rapidly growing external cell covering, with a core of dead cells. 

Simply put, Dr. Warburg won the Nobel Prize for showing that cancer thrives in an anaerobic (without oxygen), or acidic condition. In other words, the main cause for cancer is acidity of the human body caused by the individual eating too many acid foods. This acid environment restricts the oxygen to cells and leads to cancer.

This discovery of Dr. Warburg’s leads us directly to the cure for cancer. The cure for cancer is to undo this acidic environment by removing the source of the problem. Remove the acid environment (too many acid foods and acidic toxic waste) that the cancer thrives in. This new environment with its balance between acid and alkali brings in oxygen destroying the cancer cells.

Sounds too simple, you might say. That’s what I said as I fought prostate cancer. I had some doubts, but it worked. The cleaner I got my body through detoxing, cleansing and lifestyle changes, the faster my acid and alkali balanced. My symptoms were gone in 3 months and I got my health back. A year later I was cancer free. 

I had doubts like you, because like you I was fed large doses of misleading information from people and institutions I entrusted with my health. Many doctors and scientists in modern medicine are totally sincere in their belief that it works. While there are others who have another agenda and it has nothing to do with helping me or anyone else by curing cancer. They do not want a cure because cures mean low profits. They have lead the fight to cure cancer with your money for decades and decades. But the cure will never be found by poisoning, cutting or burning with radiation and laser beams. That is the direction where the money driven industry wants research to go but there is no cure in that direction.

You might also be suspicious because this discovery was made in 1931. Well the guidelines were just as tough then to get past the Nobel committee as they are now. The experiments that lead Dr. Warburg to his discovery were tested and retested by other scientists who came up with the same conclusions. Those same conclusions still stand today ready to be tested if someone wants to disprove his findings but no one comes forward because his findings are the truth.

Many experts in the health field see this Nobel Prize work of Dr. Warburg’s as the greatest medical discovery of all time. First, by curing cancer it will save millions upon millions of lives across the world. But, that is only the beginning because if you adjust your diet this way you also cure all the autoimmune diseases of which there are over 60 at this point. You can also add in total immunity to all germs and viruses because they, like cancer, cannot live in an environment where there is plenty of oxygen and a strong immune system. 

I have even seen some deride and belittle Dr. Warburg for living the lifestyle that he found would keep a person cancer free. These are the same small minds that would keep you on their path of disease and treatment for the rest of your life. When Dr. Warburg came up against small minds like these he was known to quote an aphorism he attributed to physicist Max Planck “that science doesn’t progress because scientists change their minds, but rather because scientists attached to erroneous views die, and are replaced with a new generation that is familiar with the truth”. Dr. Warburg finished one of his most famous speeches with the following statement:”… nobody today can say that one does not know what cancer and its prime cause is. On the contrary, there is no disease whose prime cause is better known, so that today ignorance is no longer an excuse that one cannot do more about prevention.”

How to Balance Your Ph to Kill Cancer and Stay Healthy 
Some of the following information was extracted from my article titled “I Am An Omnivore, We Are All Omnivores”

Why isn’t our ph balanced by what we eat, what is wrong with the American diet? In America, as in most countries, we eat typically for entertainment not for nutrition. We do not eat the food that our body is designed to thrive on. We eat like someone who buys a car, puts regular unleaded gas in the tank when the owner’s manual says premium only. This is a guarantee that over time you will get ill and find yourself on prescription medication. By the time you are middle-aged you will have a chronic debilitating disease and be on the slippery slope to a hospital, and then a rest home.

There is one very essential ingredient missing from the American diet that can balance our ph. We do not eat enough raw produce which is a basic fundamental law of human nutrition. Produce is where we get the alkaline that neutralizes the acid foods that we eat. Acid foods are meat, dairy, beans and grains and their products such as bread. These acid foods must be neutralized by the alkaline foods. The failure to do so leads to disease. Well we do not do that in America and you can see the disastrous results of breaking this fundamental law everywhere. America is sick because we have gotten too far away from the human body’s basic nutritional root, raw produce, and it is killing us. 

As humans evolved, we adapted to a certain style of eating because of environmental pressures. For thousands upon thousands of years our main pressure was finding enough food to keep ourselves and our family mates alive. If you visualize yourself in their position, the grocery store was the environment they lived in. To survive you must know every source of food available, every eatable plant, fruit, seed, and animal to keep yourself and family fed. We learned to take advantage of nature by being opportunists to increase our chances to find the nutrition we needed. We studied nature via the great teacher, survival. 

If you put yourself in their position, where hunting did not evolve for thousands of years in the future, the pressure of hunger drives you to gather those things that cannot get away from you. Plants are everywhere and it does not take long to figure out which are edible and which are not. One clue is to watch other animals eat and you soon discover that there is a storehouse of food right in front of you.

There was no specific amount of this meat and that seed, vegetable or fruit that we turned to. We gathered what we could, but I think it’s easy to say that we always turned to those green plants growing and available in so many places. If we could find nothing else, we could always find something green to fill at least some of that empty place in our gut. 

You might be saying right now that this does not sound very nutritious. Well guess what, nutritional science has proven that the most densely nutritious food on the planet is not meat or dairy. The most densely nutritious food on planet earth are the green foods. 

Our digestion evolved around this style of eating, lots of greens, grains, seeds and raw things with meat when the opportunity arose. So we are what is called an omnivore by some scientists, but we are a specialized type of omnivore. We eat meat, but that is not a strong side for us. Even our stomach acid matches an herbivore, 4 to 5 ph (true omnivores and carnivores have a ph of 1, very acidic). A bear is an omnivore, but unlike us has the built-in weapons to kill other animals and eat them. Here are other omnivores: possums, pigs, chimpanzees, rats, chickens, crows, piranhas and turtles.

If you read carefully what I just said, you will notice that we are an animal who is not a true meat eater. We can, but our body is built to only tolerate a small amount daily. If we were an omnivore who eats more meat than other foods we would have those weapons to kill animals and stomach acid to digest them, and we would sweat through our tongue not our skin. We would also eat them raw, skin, hair, bones, guts and all, like all other omnivores. Let me know if you ever see a bear bring down a deer, gut it, skin it and cook it over a fire. Eating that way would make any omnivore sick in a short amount of time.

If you are like most Americans you do not eat much raw, alkali foods, in one day. Let’s just say that for breakfast today you had 2 eggs, 3 pieces of bacon, 2 slices of toast, with coffee. You could call this a very typical breakfast for many Americans. At lunch you stopped for a hamburger, fries and a coke. For supper that night at home, you had 2 pork chops, cooked green beans, mashed potatoes with gravy and a salad with dressing plus a slice of apple pie for desert. 

Now, let’s add up this days food to discover why it is so poor and will make you fat and sick. Out of all of that food the raw, alkali containing food was the smallest amount. None at breakfast, some at lunch, the onion, tomato and lettuce in the burger qualified. The salad with dinner was raw and qualified but we cannot count green beans and mashed potatoes because they were cooked, and so were the apples in the pie. Cooking food destroys almost all nutritional value. So, out of all of that food, there was only a small amount with any food value. The rest of the food that day was cooked acidic food which is pretty much worthless. Here is how worthless. If you have ever owned a composter they will tell you on the directions never put cooked food in the composter it is worthless.

So if you want to get your ph balanced and you want to get the most from nutrition and avoid disease, move to lots of live produce with each meal. My suggestion is to eat nothing but fruit at breakfast like a fruit smoothie. At lunch and dinner what I do is measure at least one pound of raw vegetables as a salad to go with each meal like lettuce, cucumber, broccoli, squash, tomato, spinach, avocado etc. You may think this is a lot of produce, that you could never eat that much. You can easily eat that much and more. My friend Jackie, who is 5? 1?, ate a pound for lunch and a pound and a half for supper every day and lost 40 pounds of excess weight over a 3 month period. She told me she will never go back to her old style of eating that she feels and looks to good. Eat meat if you like; do not eat any refined foods, of course, such as sugar, white rice, white bread etc.

Adding lots of produce to your lifestyle this way will bring positive changes in your health. One thing I noticed when I ate this way is my stomach always feels very comfortable. Even if I overeat it feels good. 

To assist you in balancing your ph bring in a high quality super green food. They have the produce in a concentrated alkali form. Add them to your foods such as entrees, salads and drinks to enhance the nutrition and increase digestion and assimilation of all your food. Also take them with you when you are eating out or traveling. They can also replace your multi-vitamin because they are loaded with real food vitamins your body can absorb naturally.

Almost everyone is taking vitamin supplements or some kind of fortified drink or another. Most Vitamins on the market are a sham they do not come from food and so cannot be assimilated by humans. The law of nature that we cannot break is “that if it has not come to us through a living plant we cannot get any nutrition from it”. No matter what the manufacturer says you can only assimilate food grown or whole food vitamins. These whole food vitamins can also help you balance your body’s ph.

How Can I Check My Ph to See If the Changes I Made Are Working? 

The most accurate method I have found for checking your ph is First AM, Last PM urine method. Buy yourself some ph litmus testing strips that you can find in almost any drug or health food store. The litmus paper strips change color when they are dipped in liquid. Compare the color the paper turns to the test color chart that comes with the test kit. The technique for finding your ph is very simple, when you first get up in the morning test you urine the first time you urinate. The last time you urinate before you go to bed test your urine then. Do this for a full seven days keeping a list of the numbers you found. At the end of seven days total up the numbers and divide by 7 to get your average ph for the seven days.

How would you like to be treated in the hospital of a country that was ranked number 24 by the World Health Organization (WHO). Well guess what, you are living in that country, as the USA is ranked number 24 by the W.H.O. Isn’t that interesting that for years and years we were always number 1 and lead the word when it came to medicine. I’ll give you another surprise. As we all know heart disease is the number one killer of Americans, and everyone also knows that cancer is the number two killer of Americans. Guess what is the number three killer of us Americans my friends? It is the American Medical System itself. That is the number three killer of the American people. 

In closing I would like to say that one of the most important things I was told by the Naturopathic Doctor who started me on this path was “You must take charge of your own health you cannot leave it up to someone else.”

Chinese Tea And Cancer

The evidence that Chinese tea helps prevent cancer is overwhelming. Since the 1990s, hundreds of studies have been performed showing that tea can inhibit the formation of tumors, and slow the growth of those already formed.

Here are just a few examples of what cancer-related studies have shown:

Chinese tea and breast cancer: Scientists have long noted that breast cancer is much less common in countries where green tea is regularly consumed. One Japanese study found a decreased risk of recurrence for early-stage cancer patients who drank three or more cups of green tea. This suggests at least the possibility that regular green tea consumption may help prevent recurrence of breast cancer in early-stage cases. A Chinese study found that women who consumed at least 26 ounces of green tea leaves each year had a 39-percent reduced risk of breast cancer compared to nondrinkers. Twenty-six ounces of dried leaves per year equates to only 300 cups of green tea over the course of a year, which equalsless
than one cup per day.

Chinese tea and lung cancer: A study published in 2003 found that smokers who drank four cups of decaffeinated green tea per day demonstrated a 31- percent decrease in biomarkers of oxidative DNA damage in white blood cells as compared to those who drank four cups of water. Oxidative DNA damage is implicated in the development of various forms of cancer. A study published in 2007 in the Journal of Inflammation found that black tea had a positive preventive effect. In this study, guinea pigs were subjected to cigarette smoke exposure and then given water or black tea to drink. The cigarette smoke, needless to say, caused damage to the guinea pigs’ lungs, which was prevented when they were given black tea infusions to drink instead of water.

Chinese tea and prostate cancer: Other than skin cancer, prostate cancer is the most common cancer affecting men. More than 230,000 American men are diagnosed with this disease each year, according to the American Cancer Society. A study published in the December 1, 2004 issue of Cancer Research showed that the polyphenols present in green tea help prevent the spread of prostate cancer by targeting molecular pathways that shut down the proliferation and spread of tumor cells, as well as inhibitingthe growth of tumor-nurturing blood vessels.

Oolong tea

A good Oolong is both refreshing and delicious; the Oolong spectrum has a range of aromas and tastes quite distinct from anything you get with green or black tea – from the delicate, nearly-green Pouchong through rich and subtle mid-range Oolongs like Ti Kuan Yin and on to teas which border on black.

It’s hard to get reliable figures on caffeine content, but it’s probably not far wrong to say that the average cup of Oolong tea, correctly brewed, has around half as much caffeine as a cup of black tea, and about half again as much as a cup of green tea. The difference comes mainly from the brewing temperature, not the makeup of the tea itself.

Although they combine features of black and green teas, their flavour has little in common with either. Unless over-brewed, most Oolongs show almost no trace of bitterness, and generally have a stronger aroma than almost any green or black tea.

Like other tea, Oolong tea is rich in antioxidants called polyphenols. These help prevent cancer, keep the heart healthy and aid general well-being.

In spite of all this, until recently it has been terribly difficult to find Oolong tea almost anywhere in Britain outside of Chinatown, the occasional oriental grocers, and a small number of specialist tea houses. This is now slowly changing.

Chinese tea – Drink Oolong tea for a healthy life!
