My GF sent me this today. Many of you have probably read it already but your thoughts are welcomed. I am still throwing up. I feel like each day I am weaker. I am not done with the fight, but I'm done with the poisonings. i will take Herceptin, but no more taxotere....unless they can convince me otherwise.

> 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 colour. 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.
>
> 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 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 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 - 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 to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip
> into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead.
