        1. Every person has cancer cells in his body. However, cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. So when doctors tell cancer patients that their bodies after treatment appear to be cancer free, it means that the tests were unable to find a detectable number of cancer cells.

        2. Cancer cells occur in a person's body at least six times in a lifetime.

        3. When the person's immune system is strong, the cancer cells can be destroyed and perhaps prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.

        4. When a person does have cancer it indicates the person had or has multiple nutritional deficiencies due to genetic, environmental, diet or lifestyle factors.

        5. To overcome nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements can often also strengthen the immune system.

        6. Chemotherapy involves the poisoning of the rapidly-growing cancer cells, but it also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastro-intestinal tract, etc., too. It can cause damage to the liver, kidneys, heart, lungs and other organs.

        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 it appears that 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 not directly associated with the cancer.

        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. One effective way to battle cancer's future opportunity is to starve it by not providing the cancer cells with the foods they need to multiply. Here are some to avoid:

        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 that could be harmful. A better and a natural substitute would be Mänuka honey or molasses in very small amounts. Since table salt has a chemical added to make it white in color, a better alternative is sea salt.

        b. Cow's milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer cells feed on mucus. By not using milk but substituting unsweetened Soya milk, cancer cells could be starved and thus their opportunity to multiply inhibited.

        c. Cancer cells seem to thrive in an acid environment. Since a meat-based diet is acidic, it is best to eat fish and chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which can be harmful, especially to cancer patients.

        d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and fruits helps put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked foods 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 the growth of healthy cells. Another way to obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells is to drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. (Note: Live enzymes are destroyed at 104 degrees F.) 

        e. Avoid coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. Green tea is an alternative, and it also has known cancer-fighting properties. It is best to drink purified or filtered water to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Avoid drinking distilled water.

        12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat can remain in the intestines where it becomes putrefied thus leading to a toxic build-up.

        13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat, more enzymes are available to attack the protein walls of cancer cells so that the body's killer cells can destroy more of the cancer cells.

        14. Some supplements build up the immune system 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.

        16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily and deep breathing helps to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means sometimes recommended and employed to destroy cancer cells.

While I have a physiology background as does my dear friend Barbara Railey who helped me with this report, neither of us is a medical doctor. Please check with your physician to verify the competency of this report as well as to get assistance in formulating a lifestyle to help you ward off the possibilities of the advent of cancer.
