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 person’s lifetime.

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

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, gastro-intestinal 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 tumour size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumour 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 need to multiply.

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 molasse but only in very small amounts.

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 soya milk cancer cells are being starved.
Milo, Ovaltine, Horlicks are made with milk and best avoided.

c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat more vegetable & fruits. Rather than taking meat. Because meat also contains livestock antibiotics,growth
hormones, parasites, etc which are all harmful to people with cancer.

d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits helps 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.

e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have caffeine.
Five-leaf ginseng which is caffeine free is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties.

12. 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 buildup & the calcium content in human body will be “destroyed” slowly.

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 (must be wholesome, which means not going thru a chemical process to extract) 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 (Maitake e.g .) are known to cause cancer cells apoptosis, that is, induce cancer cells to commit suicide. ABM Mushroom, Shatake Mushroom, Ling Zi, Yun Zi, are able to activate the natural killer cells of our body a few times active to combat with the cancel 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, enjoy and trust God for healing.

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.

17. Cancer can be reversed with nutrition, supplements and clinically proven complementary and alternative therapies.

Every year as per statistics over one million people in the US get cancer. Half of American men and one third of American women have a chance of getting cancer in their lifetime. Age seems no bar though all cancer diagnosis shows that it is predominant in people 55 years and older. Cancer has been found in Americans of all racial and ethnic groups with the incidence rate varying group to group.

One of the single most important weapons in the fight against cancer is its early detection. It has been found and verified that the chances of cure has increased with early detection.

What are the Risk factors?

A risk factor in medical terms is anything that increases the chance of a person to get a disease. For getting cancer it has been found that the person’s age, sex, and family medical history can be important risk factors. Then there are the environmental factors. Other than these there are the person’s life style factors-of use of tobacco and alcohol, diet and exposure to sun’s UV rays. Some of these factors can be changed and others cannot.

If a person is associated with any of these risk factors in his life then he has a larger probability of being affected by cancer in his life-time. Though it has been observed that a person with a large number of risk factors does not get cancer yet a person with no apparent risk gets it. Also no linkages have been observed between cancer and the risk factors.

Different risk factors have been associated with different types of cancers. Some of these are:

• Breast cancer: Age; changes in hormone levels throughout life, such as age at first menstruation, number of pregnancies, and age at menopause; obesity; and physical activity. Studies have also shown a connection between alcohol consumption and an increased risk of breast cancer. Also, women with a mother or sister who have had breast cancer are more likely to develop the disease themselves.
• Cancers of lung, mouth, larynx, bladder, kidney, cervix esophagus, and pancreas: Tobacco use, including cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco, and snuff. Smoking alone causes one-third of all cancer deaths.
• Skin cancer: Exposure to strong sunlight.
• Prostate cancer: Age, race, and diet. The chance of getting prostate cancer goes up with age.

Prostate cancer is more common among African-American men than among white men. (We do not yet know why this is so.) A high-fat diet may play a part in causing prostate cancer. Also, men with a father or brother who have had prostate cancer are more likely to get prostate cancer themselves.

In the US three-fourths of the cancer cases are caused due to the following environmental factors: tobacco usage, diet, infectious diseases, chemicals, and radiation exposure. Personal cancer risk is enhanced due to tobacco usage, diet, and physical activity. Research shows that about one-third of all cancer deaths are related to dietary factors and lack of physical activity in adulthood.

Some cancers are related to viral infections and can be prevented by vaccines and behavior changes. More than 1 million skin cancers expected to be diagnosed in 2003 could have been prevented by protection from the sun’s rays.

The breast is made up of milk-secreting glands called lobules; ducts that connect the glands to the nipple; and fatty, connective, and lymphatic tissue. Breast cancer occurs in any of these components of the breast. Ductal carcinomas account for 80 percent of all breast cancers. Between 10 and 15 percent of breast cancers are lobular carcinomas. Other types of breast cancer are much more rare; combined, they make up the remaining 5 to 10 percent of all breast cancer cases.

Most breast cancers are first detected as an unusual mass or lump in the breast. If the cancer is detected and treated early, the odds of recovering from breast cancer are quite good. The American five-year survival rate for all breast cancers is 83 percent, but if the tumor is detected early, it rises to 96 percent.

There are four types of leukemia, classified by the type of blood cell affected and whether the cells are mature or immature. The four major types are acute myelocytic leukemia (AML), chronic myelocytic leukemia (CML), acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). AML and CLL are most common in adults, while ALL is the most common form in children. CML also affects adults. Acute leukemias progress rapidly, while chronic leukemias tend to develop slowly.

Most symptoms of leukemia result from the lack of normal blood cells that occurs when leukemia cells crowd out normal cells. General symptoms include weight loss, fever, and loss of appetite, and less often, profuse bleeding from the gums and mucous membranes under the skin. Low levels of red blood cells may also indicate the presence of leukemia.

In the United States the five-year survival rate varies according to the type of leukemia and the age of the patient. Almost 68 percent of the people diagnosed with CLL live at least five years. The five-year survival rate for adult ALL is almost 56 percent and is 70 percent for children with ALL. More than 27 percent of those diagnosed with CML survive five years or more. AML is the most fatal of the leukemias. The five-year survival rate for adults with this disease is just over 11 percent, while for children it is 40 percent.
