I received an email today with some information on cancer and how it thrives in the body. It’s from someone who works at the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). It’s a copy/paste job from my email so it doesn’t look very pretty, but it’s the info that counts!

Every person has cancer cells in their 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.
>
>Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person’s

lifetime.
>
>When the person’s immune system is strong the cancer cells will be
>destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.

>When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional
>deficiencies. These could be due to genetic,
>environmental, food and lifestyle factors.
>
>To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and
>including supplements will strengthen the immune system.
>
>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.
>
>Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages
>healthy cells, tissues and organs.
>
>Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce

tumour

>size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in

>more tumour destruction. 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.
>
>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.
>
>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:
>
>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
>colour. Better alternative is Bragg’s aminos or sea salt.
>
>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.
>
>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.
>
>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: it is 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 become putrefied and
>leads to more toxic

build-up.
>
>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 (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.
>
>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.
>
>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.
