What are the advantages, good or bad of having cancer?
All of the above learned at the Retreat is needed to improve your immune system.
Even if you diet correctly and have no success- what happened? You missed the point!
Enjoy whatever you are doing.
Look at the whole picture.
Use a combination of diet, a nutritional program, a psychological group support program and the medical. A Holistic Approach!
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach him to fish and feed him for life.
Dr Han shared the story of the difference between Heaven and Hell, and gave the two pictures.
One picture was of hell, it had a big pot of stew and men sitting around the pot of stew all holding long wooden spoons, all grumbling and griping that they couldn’t eat the food.
The next scene was of the same pot of stew with each man dipping their wooden spoon into the soup and serving the other, and getting fed themselves.
Helping each other is the secret!
Just attending a support group six times a year has proven to double your life span.
If you feel saturated with knowledge, when the student is ready the teacher will teach.
Basically it is breathing from your abdomen, taking in a breath and holding it for four seconds and gently breathing out for at least six seconds.
I’ve used this to relax and also for pain relief. During the four seconds of holding your breath, the oxygen is absorbed into the bloodstream.
Another helpful breathing method was to take a deep breath and swallow and hold it for a few seconds, and gently blow out for as long as you can.
After this the body does not need to breathe for a little while. This technique could be helpful for scuba diving and managing air while swimming, using fewer breaths and making more use of the breath.
I found this kind of breathing good for relaxing also.
Chi breathing, was said to increase health and healing.
Anthony Wee suggested that if you are healthy, practice this type of breathing for one hour a day, 20 minute sessions.
Squeeze backside and stomach while blowing out for twenty minutes, three times a day.
This next chapter for the Cancer Retreat is about Visualization and Meditationbreathing techniques, and a final note.
Athletes use visualization to achieve and break records.
Students use it to pass exams.
Businessmen use it to help their business.
We use it to help our health.
First make verbal affirmations, then make Visualizations
It helps to bring about changes in attitude.
It helps us to cope with stress,
It gives you a sense of control, and helps to abandon fear.
Use it to communicate through to subconscious mind.
Dr. Ivy Bullen showed pictures that were taken from the audience, in an earlier session, to show how different people pictured their cancer and immune system.
Some of the cancers looked like absolute demons and monsters and the immune system looked totally helpless.
Then she showed a picture of cancer cells like frail broken egg shells and huge “pack men” surrounding the cancer with shark’s teeth, looking very ferocious, the cancer cells were saying in a caption: “Were dead!”
By Debby Blettner:
One particular man was very, very fearful at the Retreat, and his picture that he drew was very frightening. Even at the end of the Retreat, after all of the input, when other patient’s pictures had vastly improved, his was still frightening, and showed little hope. He died one week after the Retreat.
Yet there was an interview with a patient who had had three brain tumors, two were surgically removed, and when the third tumor appeared he took time to go to the Cancer Retreat. He applied all that he had learned at the Retreat and after a period of six weeks, he saw his doctor for another scan.
He had been told there was no more the doctors could do, so they wanted to see how much it had grown, to determine how much time to give the patient. The results proved that there was no trace of the cancer, it had disappeared!
This was the same patient who drew the “packmen” as his immune system, and the fragile eggshell as his cancer cells. He meditated 2-3 hours daily, wrote and said lots of positive affirmations, had an attitude change, looked at the diet and juices as being good for him and beneficial. He also prayed, being a Catholic.
Give yourself more power!
No matter how big the tumor is, see it as weak and vulnerable. See the treatment you are doing as positive, everything under control.
If you choose to have chemotherapy or radiotherapy, be committed and think positively about it.
It you have a negative attitude about it, it won’t do you any good.
Look at radiation as a white healing light, that if you have it, it will make your immune system more powerful.
Visualize a mop up squad to clean up the battlefield!
You can drop your pulse rate through visualization.
Visualize in the future, what you would like to be happening.
You must have a cleaning up, mopping up squad to show the immune system has defeated the cancer, the end is complete in your visualization.
For a few days show the cancer cells being dealt with by the immune system, the cancer cells getting smaller, and the immune system getting larger and more powerful, attacking new cancer cells.
After that the Natural Killer cells are getting stronger and scouting out new cancer cells.
When taking vitamins, visualize the NK’s getting stronger and more powerful. Take one and a half hours meditation, two times a day at least when you are fighting cancer.
Juices: carrot, celery and beetroot, are very important. Enjoy the food and the juices.
When I followed this plan with visualization, my NK’sshot up from 92 to 156, which according to Dr. Bullen was quite phenomenal, in 6 weeks.
A second time, my NK’s fell, after my childhood girlfriend died from cancer. I was again aggressively using these methods and prayer, and my NK’s recovered almost to normal range over a short period of time.
Later that year my NK’s dropped again, after my husband had surgery for cancer. Even though the NK’s dropped low, I did not take the time or effort to visualize the NK’s increasing, nor did I concentrate on any specific positive affirmations concerning my health, and the NK’s continued to fall.
This was accompanied by an increase in pre-cancerous cells and tumor marker CA-15 increase, resulting in a mastectomy.
After these stressful events my NK test results rose once again, from 92 – 148. My tumor marker CA-15 also down 10 points from 34 to 24.
Testing is very helpful.
By Dr Ivy Bullen:
10 minutes of laughter = 2 hours of no pain as it is releasing endorphins which are natural pain killers.
When laughing, air passes from your lungs at the rate of 50 -60 miles, per hour!
Watch a funny movie daily, if you have pain, one funny movie can give up to four hours of no pain.
Stats show that as people grow older, they laugh less. This is dangerous!
Children laugh a lot more.
It is statistically proven that NK’s increase after a funny movie. It increases cytokines, which are important for the function of the immune system.
He who laughs, lasts!
READ NEXT:
This is the last Cancer Retreat session by Dr Jason Han:
This next lecture was from Dr. Barry Cassidy, a speaker from the Radiotherapy Institute who will discuss the application of Radiotherapy in the treatment of cancer.
New hormone drugs, tamoxifen has failed sometimes. (In 1999)
Drugs leave body after 24 hours.
Effects wear off 6-8 weeks after.
It is the same with Radiotherapy.
Carcinoma insitu – very early breast cancer. Some doctor’s wouldn’t even call it cancer as it is not invasive. Some cases of carcinoma insitu can be treated by radiation therapy.
Beta carotene has been proven to reduce the risk of cancer.
Ninety percent of cancer cannot be cured by chemotherapy. Colon, breast and lung cancerscannot be killed by chemotherapy, and these cancers make up 90% of all cancers.
Testicular tumors, ovarian cancer, leukemia’s in children, Hodgkin’s disease are very sensitive to chemicals and can be killed by chemotherapy.
Non Hodgekin’s Cancer, of the Lymph Nodes generally speaking, is very chemotherapy sensitive, also radiation works on these cancers.
Testicular cancer is very chemotherapy sensitive.
Dr. Hsin is a Palliative Physician, a Hospice doctor.
Non sensitive cancer:
It will do more harm than good to be given chemotherapy.
These include:
Non–small-cell lung cancer.
Liver cancer.
Renal Cell cancer.
Brain tumors.
Cancer of unknown primary.
Moderately Chemo Sensitive:
These include:
Small cell lung cancer.
Breast cancer.
Colon cancer.
Stomach cancer.
After surgery the cancer can return – 5 – 10 years which equals cured to a doctor.
Doctors give chemotherapy to improve the chances of survival and reduce the chances of relapse.
There are 3 types of Chemotherapy given:
Adjuvant chemotherapy, systemic chemotherapy and Palliative chemotherapy –all given to improve the chances.
The Immune System is lowered by Chemotherapy.
A Clinical trial took place:
Phase one trial – there was a request for volunteers. These volunteers were given drugs with no proven effect on cancer. The Clinical trial was required to give records of what damage the drugs will do. How much damage? Some volunteers died.
Phase 2: With the results of the Trial, the concentration of drugs is worked out.
Phase 3: New drug is compared with the gold standard, which has the best response etc., and is marketed.
“How long is my chemotherapy?”
This depends on:
1) Tumour size.
2) Symptom control.
3) Quality of life.
It is difficult to tell.
Adjuvant chemotherapy, where there is no more cancer, it has been surgically removed, is to prevent a relapse. Many don’t relapse anyway, even without 6 months of chemotherapy!
If cat scan shows up black, with defined edges, it usually indicates cancer, also ultrasound.
Liver cancer, surgery is only method, remove part of it, if can.
Not chemotherapy sensitive, liver cancer, but it does respond to Chinese herbs.
Symptom control- just check if symptoms are improving.
Quality of life – Stomach cancercannot be cured by chemotherapy.
A woman with stomach cancer could eat and drink after chemotherapy, but she had a goal in mind, her wedding, a new apartment, she was not cured but she achieved her goal!
Results of Chemotherapy:
hair loss
vomiting.
Bone marrow suppression.
Low resistance.
The bad part of chemotherapy, is that every organ of the body can be affected by chemotherapy. Very tired after chemotherapy. Many bad results from chemotherapy, a long list of side effects.
After chemotherapy there were results on the patients x-rays, but the patient had no energy. He took herbal medicine and massage to maintain his function – lung and brain tumor. He stopped chemotherapy. The chemotherapy couldn’t heal, but took away the quality of life. He was given a choice of two years of lying at home or one year of active life, without chemotherapy. The patient needs to decide on their fate.
Chemotherapy Costs:
1) Consultation.
2) Lab tests.
3) Medication. In Singapore, all of these are very expensive.
4) Others – most important! The carer, the person taking care of the cancer patient, may have to give up their job to help the patient, has to wait with the patient to see the doctor. Consider the carer when deciding whether or not to take chemotherapy.
Today’s doctor is:
1) Scientist.
2) Saint.
3) Shopkeeper.
Therefore5-10% people really benefit from chemotherapy!
The first person lives three years and the rest live longer.
The doctor will inform the patient that he has three years to live!
Gross misrepresentation. Very inaccurate. It is impossible to predict.
Statistics only.
Evidence based herbs – lots of evidence to support for immune system! Not much scientific evidence for it.
How do I prepare for chemo?
1) Nutrition.
2) Exercise.
3) Talk to others. It’s hard travelling alone.
Cancer is a word, not a sentence.
Oncologists always treat, forget to prevent!
What they practice full time is what is supposed to be done after communication and nutrition.
Support groups respond much better to treatments than those that are hidden at home.
Neuro phycho neurology – right frame of mind affects hormones. Lab studies have proven this! Too much trust is in Lab’s and chemicals.
To cure sometimes, to relieve often, to comfort always!
Dr. Hsin showed a slide of two handfuls of drugs, which were taken by a patient each day – add a dressing and it can become a meal!
Dr Hsinshowed a slide of a mother holding a baby that had a man’s head, a shirt and tie, a reminder to cuddle and hold close the person in need.
Dr. Hsin apologized for his lack of knowledge of nutrition care.
400 lymph nodes are around the neck and in underarms. Regional lymph nodes. Clusters of white blood cell – nodes.
Inject dye into tumor and wait and see how many lymph nodes are connected. Remove those. Lymph removal depends on the surgeon.
There is a group of doctors that are very aggressive with chemicals. They cause vomiting, hair loss, nausea, but this is no problem to the doctor, no worries to him, only to the patient.
There are injectable Chinese remedies.
Massage and oral Chinese medicine. Chi kung and tai- chi.
NB: Dr. Hsin also said that,
The Oncologist looks at the problem and focuses on the cure of the problem and often forgets about the patient.”
1st phase– the problems hit you, you receive the diagnosis.
2nd phase– The acute stress is gone but you still can’t see beyond the horizon.
3rd phase– No person’s land in between.
Survivors develop strategies that help them survive.
Phase 1:
After the diagnosis has sunk in, life is grey. Lap up kind gestures and acts of kindness. It does you good.
When words are used in empathy, it is not so much the words, but the emotion that sticks.
The good company of friends is worth a pharmaceutical shelf of medicines.
Praying: say what you feel like.
Take it easy on yourself, have what you enjoy, take it easy on yourself.
Phase 2:
NB:Yoga training was taken up by this doctor, Dr Giles. He did it for 20 minutes a day.
Talk through your worries when you need to, it reduces them significantly.
We want to feel that we are being cared for, mended spiritually, emotionally, physically and mentally.
Relaxation is important. Attend concerts and movies.
NB:Dr Giles took meditation and yoga and prayer as an antidote for all the negative, after his child was suddenly killed in a car accident.
One day a week be free from the News.
Walking is the cheapest, least hazardous exercise. Walk leisurely- enjoy social interaction.
Walking by the sea or in a forest helps us to see ourselves as a smaller creation, part of the big picture.
Enjoy good company- good sleep and good food.
Social help– people who help us are very important, relationships are important.
There is a lot of evidence to prove that relationships and touch are very important.
Social support can help people live longer.
Socially isolated – if you are it is difficult to make friends after diagnosis. You should do it before hand.
Spiritual values – become at peace with yourself and your Creator.
Believe that suffering has a meaning and bear their cross with them, or stay with people that have positive outlooks.
Joke: The greatest sin is to overcook fish!
(Everybody present roared with laughter!)
Feel fulfilled by helping others!
NB:After Dr Gile’s tragedy, he blew kisses to people who honked at him at the lights. He said that two women followed him home!
By giving you receive, physically.
People with Aides who helped others, lived 3x longer!
If you have cancer don’t make any big decisions, sit tight.
Seek information, misinformation can be very distressful.
Some people think that cancer is contagious.
For your GP doctor:
Make a list.
If you can’t get through it in one consultation, just tick it off as it gets done.
Get all of the information you feel you need.
If you feel rushed, confused or intimidated, tell your doctor to slow it down.
For Yourself:
Maintain fitness.
Use different methods of relaxing, feeling good and helping others.
Never let the treatment be worse than the disease.
Anything that is therapeutic has a thorn.
Every therapeutic rose has its thorn.
Keep an open mind, but no so open that your brains drop out!
You’ll be happy if you strive for fitness, feel in control, be optimistic, have friends you can share confidence with.
Many people feel benefited from having cancer. They appreciate things they once took for granted.
Support groups make you feel better and add days to your life. Ventilate feelings, communicate, it helps you to cope.
Despair over diagnosis: sometimes getting the diagnosis can be worse than the disease.
A patient was ready to die and he asked the doctor if he had cancer. The doctor told the patient that he did not have cancer and the patient died with a smile on his face.
Forgive freely.
Prayer – If you pray, you change, and the way you look at life changes.
Happiness isn’t in the future, but here and now with whom you are with and where you are.
The Thymus is the training ground for the immune system and is located under the chest bone, the sternum. Tapping this area, with your fingers, at least 20 times per day has the effect of stimulating the immune system.
B Cells are made in marrow and they spot viruses. After spotting the virus they become an ammunition factory of antibodies. This is not the most effective way of fighting cancer because they need ammunition to shoot.
T Cells fight and damage invading cells. They mop up war zones.
T Helper Cells are non-killing scouts that send messages to T Cells who kill on command from headquarters.
T Suppressor Cells are the Headquarters who regulate all production of cells and prevention of more production, keeping things at a correct balance. There is a Stop – Grow message between cells. Accelerator and brakes help to control cell division.
“Cytokines” say grow, and “Anticytokines” say stop. This red light, green light system needs to be balanced for controlled growth and good health. If the brakes fail the cells reproduce and divide without check, and tumors develop.
NK Cells poke “fingers” into cancer cells and injectgranules into the cancer cells (perforans), to kill their target. If their target is a cancer cell, they inject the granules and chemical reaction results in blowing a hole in the cancer cell to kill it!
The KSR’s (Stimulating receptors)detect between normal body cells and cancer cells and tell the NK when to kill. It leaves the normal cells alone. An inhibitory cell tells the NK cells to leave the normal cell alone and protects it!
If your immune system is fully switched on, you won’t get cancer.
Power of Prayer:
Three hundred patients in a group were separated into two groups. People from outside the group were given information on the cancer patients. One group of cancer patients was not prayed for and the other was.
The people prayed for had less death, were sent home earlier, had less cardio arrests, healed much faster and had less problems than the group that was not prayed for!
Any surgery can depress the immune system.
Do anything you can to take antioxidants after surgery to build it up to counteract the depression to your immune system.
An experiment was performed on mice, all of which had the same genetics. They all had oncogenes, which predispose them to cancer.
Some were given four times greater stress than the others, and they developed cancer. The highly stressed mice developed cancer, not the non-stressed ones.
Both groups were ‘oncogene’ predisposed. The gun was loaded, it just needed a trigger. Stress is often the trigger.
Japanese women have the lowest levels of breast cancer in the world. Yet, Japanese women in Hawaii have a much higher incidence of breast cancer. Could this be related to diet, or lifestyle?
A workaholic is someone who works 60-70 hours a week with no time for rest. They have high physical and emotional stress.
8 hours of sleep is required.
Interleukins (produced by sleep), are good for the immune system.
Laughter, singing, and quiet meditation and thinking positive thoughts also greatly benefit the immune system as does exercise recreation and healthy food.
The above have been found to be common in cancer patients.
Anger:
It is very important to express your emotions and tell the other person you are angry. An alternative to this is to run around the block, to get rid of anger.
Denial of any health problems, spending lots of time helping others at the neglect of your own health can sometimes be symptoms of denial, ignoring the problem or not wanting to face it or accept it.
All these things can lead to stress, which can encourage cancer. It is not what happens to you but how you react to what happens to you, that is experience!
It is important to focus on the person, not the disease, to change the outcome of the illness. A change of thought patterns causes different hormones and chemicals to be secreted in the body. So a positive mind and keeping on top of things is very important.
A total of 152 very ill patients were studied. Those with a positive attitude responded better to treatment and did better than negative patients with less serious diseases!
Depression is very bad for the immune system and Natural Killer Cell count. Look at your stress level to improve your immune system.
Dated 1998: Dr. Ian Brighthope specializes in Nutritional Medicine with particular interest in cancer. He is the President of the Australian College of Nutritional Medicine and Fellow of the International College of Applied Nutrition, Fellow of the New York Academy of Orthomolecular Psychiatry and Author of a number of Books.
What are the reasons for nutrition for cancer patients?
-To put an antioxidant on every cell of your body.
-To increase resistance on the assault of Medical Professions.
–Selenium is a very important mineral. Everyone is deficient!
–Spontaneous Remission is very possible. Life style, diet, mental state all affect your health greatly!
–White sugar is the best-marketed drug on the market. It is a KILLER!Without exception, patients do better without it!
-Vitamin C is the most powerful Antioxidant, made available quickly to your body, with no side effects.
–Too much protein causes the liver to stress.
-Vegetable juices, carrot, celery, wheat-grass and beetroot, give lots of antioxidants.
-Any seeds suppress cancer, sunflower, sesame, pumpkin for example.
–Comfrey– accelerates the healing of wounds. Use as a tea. Use only for 1 month at the most, each time, as it can cause liver problems. You can grow it yourself.
–Wheat grass – You can grow your own. One thimble-sized juice is full of antioxidants.
–Echinacea Angustitolia – Excellent for chronic bronchitis. Can be taken by tablet or tea.
-Shelf Fungus – Mushrooms, shitaki mushrooms or powders, stimulate the immune system.
–Antibiotic Prescription is a plague of the human race.
Phytoestrogens-
-Legumes, soya products
-Grains, Linseed.
-Herbs- black cohosh, (important female hormone), red clover
-Soya lowers breast cancer.
-Hormone replacement increases Oestrogens, which is dangerous.
–Isoflavones – do have an effect on breast cancer- get on to it! Soy products!
-160mg\day recommended tablet for breast cancer. 120-180mg\day in 3-4 tablets a day. It is not cheap! Do it for 2-3 months and then drop to 1 tablet per day.
This next lecture is about nutrition presented by Dr. IvyBullen.
Nutrition can prevent 63% of health killer diseases such as cancer, heart attacks and strokes.
Diet patterns – are linked especially with breast and colon cancer.
Chew well – 23 times for each bite. Drink nothing with a meal to digest fully. Water – will dilute gastric juices in stomach.
Free Radicals cause damage to our bodies. They neutralize themselves by attaching themselves to our body cells. Free radicals are attacked by Antioxidants. Some foods are very high in Antioxidants.
Many things affect the food we eat:
1) Quality
2) Quantity
3) Efficiency of digestion.
4) Everyone is different.
Let’s first look at quality of food:
The soil, chemicals and the manufacturing of food, the trace elements are governed by farming. Is the soil overworked?
Chicken, in Australia, is soaked in chlorine, before it is sold. This makes the flesh a pink type color, instead of the original yellow color seen in many Asian countries. Even “free range” chicken is under this law, but escapes the added antibiotics that are added daily to the chicken feed.
People with chronic fatigue do much better after they change to organic food. Excellent food is needed right after surgery. It is often very difficult to get in hospitals. In Australia, the hospital food is very inadequate. When a person is sick they need better than average food to help them get better.
People on vegetarian diets seem to do better with an increase in the variety of vegetables and fruit in their diet.
There are 8 amino acids that you must take in daily. The right types of foods are needed for this.
There are various food groups that need to be eaten daily:
1) Cereals, nuts, rice and seed groups.
2) Legumes and tofu, soy group.
For a vegetarian, they must take food from both these groups daily to obtain the 8 amino acids that are needed to replace red meat.
Fishis very good, but add to the diet after chemotherapy and radiation treatments are completed. Deep sea oily fish contain essential Omega 3 fatty acids.
Mullet, tuna, salmon and sardines are examples of deep sea oily fish.
Oil,when cold pressed, during manufacturing, and not heated, do not contain free radicals. Buy Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a brown bottle for best results. Do not heat oil to prevent free radicals from developing.
Processed food is dead food and should be avoided.
Sugar is stress food, and causes hyperactive behavior. Better to develop low stress eating habits.
A study in Australia on sugar intake by the public was done at the turn of the century and the following statistics were shown:
People consumed 4-5 lbs. pounds, per head, per year.
They consumed 25 lbs. per head, per year, after the war.
The early 90’s showed that they consumed 120 lbs. per head, per year. These statistics can be halved to get the weight in kilos.
Sugar is in tinned foods, packed cereals, cakes, biscuits, drinks, coco-cola, Soya drinks, yogurt, diet cola, which also has some very nasty chemicals in it.
Dried fruit is highly concentrated sugar, though natural, still sugar and the body reacts the same as receiving sugar. Should be reserved for special occasions.
The Macdonald’s Hamburgers are sometimes water buffalo meat and beef from the cow. The health department can’t tell the difference. Macdonald’s buys it for 50 cents a kilo. Hamburger helper, which tastes like beef has been an addition to the hamburgers, when beef was in short supply. ( Stated by the late, Dr Ivy Bullen, 1999)
Lysteria on vegetables in hotels can develop just from being in the fridge.
Always wash fruit and vegetables very well, with a vegetable wash from the health food shops. If possible, drain and rinse in fresh water with a cup of cider vinegar in it.
This doesn’t kill the lysteria, but it slows it down. Lysteria doesn’t like lemon juice or lime, and they are good to pour over fresh salads. Lysteria doesn’t like the acids.
Fresh veges are better than frozen, as they contain more antioxidants!
Peel all root veges, due to possible soil problems.
Limit oil in salads and only use cold pressed oils, such as olive oil.
Preferable to grow 1/3 of your veges, eat 1/3 organic, and 1/3 from regular market.
Raw food is healthy food. The longer veges are cooked, the less nutrients they contain. Lots of salads are recommended, but do not keep overnight. Use same day.
Vegetable juices, mix of carrots, celery and beetroot are best taken 2 times a day, 2 glasses, and 750 mls- 1000 mls especially during treatment times.
Alfalfa sprouts produce toxins to protect themselves. Causes blood disorder in cows. Eat lettuce, fennelcreek, snowpea, sunflower sprouts.
Try seed crackers with avocado, tomato, sunflower seeds and pepper.
Tempe is made from fermented soy products. Cook in low salt soy sauce or cut in strips and eat in salads or “stir fries”.
Almonds and Brazil nuts are protected from oxidation by their protective coats. Raw cashews are not protected, no protective shell.
Peanuts can be infected by a fungus, which leaves a toxin and can cause liver cancer.
Pasta is processed and not recommended for daily intake.
Plastic electric jugs are not good to use, due to the chemicals released from the plastic when it is heated.
Microwave ovens are very dangerous and are not recommended for cancer patients, or anyone who is conscious of their health.
Aluminium saucepans are also not safe to heat.
White flour is heavily processed.
Avoid caffeine, coffee, chocolate and tea to avoid adverse effects.
Peppermint tea is good for digestion and Chamomile is good for sleep.
Unprocessed honey is preferred if sweet is needed. Processed honey is often cut with sugar.
Drinks that have no added sugar are concentrated, the water has been removed, then added to reconstitute. They don’t add as much water again, so it is recommended to dilute it by 50% again.
Fruits are complex carbohydrates. Dark grape juice is very concentrated. Red grape juice also contains lots of antioxidants!
The immune system is very sensitive to wine. The brain, liver and immune system respond better to no alcohol.
Red meat and animal fat contain chemicals and antibiotics.
Orange juice that says it has no added sugar is covered legally due to the fact that the amount of sugar added is to cover the taste of the peel and pith that is added while being processed.
Japanese green tea is very good, especially for Oesophageal cancer. It is made from new green shoots and has a negligible amount of caffeine in the growing part of the plant. 4 cups of green tea a day is very good. It is full of Antioxidants!
Margarine is very bad for us. It has been a liquid and chemicals are used to make it a solid. Additives are added and more chemicals. The oils are heated to make it a solid.
Butter is a dairy product and contains animal fat, which is not recommended for health reasons. Good alternatives to butter are avocado, hommus, (chic pea dip), and mashed banana.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), is better without dairy products. Asthma is better without dairy products.
Sensitivity to dairy products can cause health problems.
Children up to 3 or 4 have rennin in their stomachs and can therefore digest dairy products better. After that it becomes more difficult to digest properly.
Good alternatives are soy milk, especially calcium enriched if available, tofu, and veges, for extra calcium. Soy cheese is also a good alternative for occasional use.
Calcium is used to make Tofu.
Goats milk is more easily digested than cow’s milk.
Take goat’s or sheep’s yogurt, rather than dairy.
If you have arthritis, give up milk.
Smoking has an anti Vitamin C effect.
Salt has an effect on calcium requirements, if stopped then you increase your calcium intake. Rock salt and sea salt is not recommended for this reason.
Salt is very bad for Osteoporosis. Low salt Tamari Soy Sauce is recommended to use instead of regular Soy sauce. But only 1 tablespoon a day, to help flavor a meal.
Calcium also is affected by too much protein, if the protein intake is very high, the calcium level drops.
Salt is connected to hypertension. If using heavy labor, and losing lots of sweat, then add salt on food, otherwise not.
Tofu should be used within 48 hours of purchase.
Chop a selection of veges and place them in a little low salt soy sauce, add fresh ginger and garlic and cook. Cook harder veges first, and steam and gradually add all the veges.
Add precooked brown rice after veges are cooked, chinese mushrooms,shitake mushrooms, slice small and thin and add. Add “ultra cube”, vegetable stock cube, to ginger and garlic. Steam all in water and you have healthy “fried rice”.
Note: End of lecture. My husband and I followed this counsel for over 14 years and felt all the better for it! It leaves no room for junk food, fried food, or sugar and has done us a world of good, not only for the cancer, but for a range of other illnesses as well.
