DAY 48 You Are Your Own Worst Enemy

Don't Enslave Yourself With a Mindset That Can't Accept Change Even When It's As Logical As Going Back To The Basics---Free Yourself!


John Hopkins Update - Good article
(the text in red is my addition and opinion based on research done centuries ago, texts in blue just means pay close attention)


AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY ('TRY', BEING THE KEY WORD) TO ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHNS HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY...

Cancer Update from Johns 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, gastrointestinal 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 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 soy milk cancer cells are being starved. or almond milk, I love almond milk.

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, but I say meat and fish can be equally as acid- forming. 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). That's where the precious raw food lifestyle comes in...

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. I would have to refute this point, distilled water has powerful healing effects, read The Regenerative Diet and search do your own research.

12.. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines becomes putrefied and leads to more toxic buildup. Very important and very true, the quicker people realize this the better for them.

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 bodies 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--very true. Anger, un-forgiveness 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.

1. No plastic containers in micro. Actually, throw your microwave away or use it as storage space. My mother in-law has not owned a microwave for ages.

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 cause 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--How about avoiding the TV dinners all together, processed foods are the fall of the American society. It is a war that no one seems to realize but some day we will wake up to a society that has lost most of its members to obesity and disease. You can change your fate, your life, your health, you can love yourself a little differently. 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 to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead.


My beloved father passed away from lung cancer and I'm sure many of us know of someone who has been plagued by this unfortunate disease. Don't be an enemy to yourself. A vegetable-based diet is the only way to show proper love and respect for the privileged life you've been given. DO YOUR RESEARCH.

This is an article that should be sent to anyone important in your life.

Day 47 Lost in Translation

DAY 46 is Lost in translation, lol I didn't post yesterday, was super busy all day. Have you had the chance to watch that movie? you should. Another documentary you definitely must watch is 'KILLER AT LARGE'http://www.killeratlarge.com/ and 'FOOD MATTERS'http://www.foodmatters.tv/ Know what you are eating and if you still choose to eat it then fine, at least you know what the consequences might be. You might even want to get these on DVD as gifts for Christmas.
Nina's idea: our apple slices with delicious Almond dip. This will cure your sweet cravings in a second. We ended up eating about 3 apples, beats the unhealthy, sugar-infused caramel dip in the store.

DEEEEEEEE-LI-CIIIIIOOOOOOOSSSSOOOOOO!


Why would you ever want to buy chocolate when you can make a heart healthy one in less that 10 minutes?
Ingredients:
1/2 cup melted coconut butter
2 tbsp raw cacao powder
1 tbsp carob powder
(or you could just use 1/2 of cacao powder or 1/2 of carob. I like to mix them both)
1 tbsp organic grade B maple syrup
1 tbsp agave nectar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Blend all together and then spread over pie pan or molds. Then sprinkle 1/2 of crushed walnuts or your nut of choice and freeze for 5 minutes. THIS MELTS IN YOUR MOUTH LIKE NOTHING ELSE. what a healthy treat for the holidays! You can then transfer to a sealed container and keep in the fridge.

My walnut salad dressing. This is fantastic.




This was my first go at raw/vegan 'mylk' (yes, trying not to spell 'milk') chocolate using cacao butter.
Amazing stuff, these were so rich that one was enough for the day. Desert should be that way, not that you seat and eat a whole cake because it's so light and fluffy and airy, it should be dense and rich so you can have a bite and it completely satisfies you.




This was my salad with my sweet tahini dressing. Yum!
Stay blessed.

Day 43 My Very Own Organic Farm!

I have great news! I am now proud owner of my very own organic farm, yes, yes, you read it right. I get to manage it from the comfort of my own home and have planted on it whatever I want and when it's ready I will have it shipped to my house or sell it at the farmers market. NOW, whoever came up with such a brilliant idea is a genius. This is a phenomenal and amazing food system. Not only do I get to have fresh organic produce from my own garden, I get to sell it to others or give it some to feed hungry children somewhere. And oh, all the crops will use products certified organic by the USDA, guaranteed!

YOU CAN OWN YOURS TOO ...

Where ever you are you can own your own organic plot which you can manage from the comfort of your home. All your products will be free of pesticides and herbicides, 100% organic. The way the company works, you are basically getting your own organic food for less than nothing by introducing others to this amazing system and if that does not interest you there are still many more benefits. For example say you're paying $100/month maintenance fee for your full garden to be taken care of, you not only get all your organic products from your own plot sent to you but also a $100 debt card to use in their online store for whatever you wish to purchase, you can also choose to sell the rest of your produce to the online community farmer's market.






This is an idea worth supporting I believe. I am all for organic but then to have my own plot and an opportunity to make money while doing it sounds even better plus don't forget you can also choose to give good --guilty-free--organic food to hungry children.

For more information and to pre-register FOR FREE (the launch is in January so you can start building your income by referring other too now, right now!) click below:

p/s The first 2000 people to register become part owners of this great revolution plus you get to keep 2% of all the company's profits for years to come. I can't wait, can you?????????
