NO ONE DIES OF CANCER!!
They're either killed by their physician or they die of starvation.
"Cancer is the easiest of all the major degenerative disease conditions to properly treat and cure." Dr W.D. Kelley, author of Cancer - Curing the Incurable. Dr Kelley had stage IV pancreatic cancer, classified as terminal. He cured himself and wrote a book about it. You can read our review of his amazing story here.
CANCER PART I
In spite of the optimistic assesment that begins this treatise, cancer is nothing to fool around with. If you or a loved one have cancer, you need help. Professional help. The question becomes, "should I consult an allopathic (conventional) specialist or should I put my life in the hands of an "alternative" practitioner?"
To arrive at a satisfactory answer to that question, you need an understanding of cancer itself, what it really is, and how it works. That is the purpose of this article. A plain English tour of the world of cancer. After reading it, you will be equipped to make an intelligent choice about the path to take that is right for you. Hopefully this article will contribute greatly to the recovery and extended life span of any reader afflicted with cancer. We have no ax to grind here, and we have no desire to influence your ultimate decision.
ONCOLOGISTS
The cancer specialists. They fall into the conventional category for the most part. Oncologists are obsessed with tumors. They remove tumors with surgery, burn them with radiation, or shrink them with chemotherapy. The problem here is that cut, burn, or poison does nothing whatsoever to destroy cancer because - TUMORS ARE NOT CANCER! Tumors themselves don't kill.
Shrinking tumors is of no benefit. The cancerous cells still survive to create other tumors. Cutting into tumors for biopsies, or for any other reason, releases those "sick" cancer cells into the bloodstream. Once freed from the tumor, the cancer cells can spread throughout the body. That's what kills.
HOW CANCER CELLS HAPPEN
First we have healthy cells.
The life cycle of healthy cells goes something like this:
- Healthy cells breath oxygen by a process known as aerobic breathing.
- The healthy cells "burn" (metabolize) the oxygen with blood sugar (glucose) to create energy.
- This energy is called ATP or Adinosine Triphosphate. A bi-product of ATP is Carbon Dioxide.
- Like all living things, healthy cells are born, reproduce themselves, and die. Cell death is a programmed normal process called Apoptosis.
Normal cells are differentiated to form parts of different organs in the body. They all have different functions and life spans. They don't just sit there and breath and never die.
THE HEALTHY CELLS GET SICK
How Can That Happen?
Blood that is normally alkaline can become acidic. This causes an imbalance in the cells, and then:
- The cells can't get enough oxygen to support aerobic breathing.
- In order to produce energy, the cells begin fermenting blood glucose.
- The cell's breathing becomes anaerobic. Anaerobic breathing is inefficient, forcing cells to work harder to produce energy.
- In "self defense" the cells interupt their normal life cycle by stabilizing themnselves.
- Finally the cells stop breathing entirely and live exclusively by fermenting blood glucose. Without oxygen, the cells release no carbon dioxide.
- The cells then coat their outer walls with a thick layer of protien.
- The protien layer is a barrier to the leukocytes (white blood cells), preventing them from doing their job of attacking invaders.
- One such invader effectively protected from the leukocytes is - CANCER!
- Healthy cells now become cancerous, and cancerous cells become undifferentiated and serve no useful purpose.
- Cell death, apoptosis does not occur in stabilized, undifferentiated cells and the inhibition of this leads to tumor development.
- Now tumors surround, protect, and support the cancer cells inside!
CANCER PART II
Taking Action
The best way to cure cancer is not to get it in the first place.
The expert practitioners of alternative medicine all agree that to prevent cancer from happening, you need these two common denominators:
- You need to maintain the acid/alkaline balance in your body. Acidic cells are sick cells that lead to cancer.
- You need to maintain an optimum amount of oxygen at the cellular level, through diet and exercise..
The exercise part is easy. Taking a brisk half our walk every day should be adequate for most of us. The diet part is harder. Here's what those who routinely cure cancer tell you to do: Eat mostly alkaline foods.
- Emphasize fresh fruits and vegetables. The brightly colored ones have the most nutrients. These are alkaline forming foods. The fruits that produce acid are plums, prunes, and cranberries. Stay away from them.
- Eat fruits and vegetables raw whenever possible to get the enzymes. Cooking, baking, frying, microwaving - all heating processes destroy enzymes, which are an absolute MUST in any battle against cancer, even precancerous conditions. We'll be posting a discussion of enzymes and their vital importance to life here on LeQuadrillage sometime soon.
The Avocado - An Exemplary Fruit
Avocados, as an example of fresh fruit, offer significant protection against breast cancer. They contain lutien, zeaxanthin, and alpha-and beta-carotene. In one study, it was found that an extract of avocado inhibited the growth of prostate cancer cells. Avocados are a great source of healthy fats.
Olive Oil - Coconut Oil
Olive Oil has monounsaturated fatty acids and a high content of antioxidants (free radical fighters).
- Buy extra-virgin olive oil, This is cold pressed olive oil; no heat or chemicals are used in processing. Never cook with olive oil! Heat damages the fats, creating toxins. For cooking, use coconut oil.
- Coconut Oil is anti viral and anti bacterial besides containing no trans fats.
Other Actions
- Learn about spicing up your foods with herbs, garlic, onions, turmeric, and ginger.
- Consider juicing as a means of getting your vegetables.
- Wheatgrass juice is a tremendously powerful cancer fighter!
- Consider supplements. A good beginning would be with TOTAL BALANCE.
The Bad Guys
We have just discussed the good guys. Here are the bad guys, the acid producing foods you want to avoid. They're the foods we all love; cannot seem to get enough of, like doughnuts and french fries and sodas. If you like prepared meals, here are some of the unhealthful, acid producing, and cancer encouraging ingredients you'll find listed on the packaging:
- Processed sugar (white sugar; brown sugar is simply white sugar run under a light spray of molasses during processing).
- High fructose corn syrup.
- Trans fatty acids
- MSG, often referred to as flavorings.
- Partially hydrogenated oils.
- Nitrites (in processed meats like ham, bacon, sausage, hamburger).
Other foods to avoid are:
- Canned foods.
- Coffee (including decaff).
- White processed foods - pasta, rice, breads, cookies, ice cream, cake.
Note that the recommendations discussed here are aimed at prevention.
WHEN THE UNTHINKABLE HAPPENS
If you do come down with cancer, you need help. This is somethng you should not try to deal with by yourself. We'd suggest that you first read the book Cancer: Step Ouside the Box, by Ty M Bollinger. You can read our review of it here. Then find a doctor your can trust - your life will be in the hands of this professional. We can help. Contact Us! Note: This service is absolutely FREE! We receive no compensation from anyone for this, not from the patient, not from the provider. We would be unable to provide an objective referral if it were otherwise. We would like to add you to our mailing list but this is not required. We never give out personal information to anyone, for any reason and you may discontinue our mailings easily at any time, at which time all of your information will be destroyed. If you choose not to join our mailing list, that's OK too. We'll respond to your question and destroy your information. Just get well!
