Can this mean a cure for cancer?
A recent report from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine offers some new light exposing many fallacies of current day cancer treatment. This prestigious center of learning released a report that will have the major drug companies and many health care providers in a panic. Billions are spent every year treating cancer patients.
At present the treatment options for cancer patients generally include three choices:
1. Chemotherapy: This treatment method requires the administration of a variety of different drugsdepending on the type of cancer being treated. The drugs are administered to kill the cancer cells. But healthy cells are also killed.
2. Radiation: This method is available from two sources: external machines and radioactive material placed near the tumor. Good and bad cells are cremated.
3. Surgery: Involves the removal of the diseased tissue entirely. But getting every diseased cell is a challenge.
Here's what John's Hopkins says about these treatments: 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 complicationsChemotherapy 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.
The Evils of the Western Diet
Many health care providers are taking a long, hard look at the many diseases that afflict the U.S. population. Research done here and overseas gives us a glimpse of just what is going on. It has become a well-known fact that the so called "Western Diet" is causing a multitude of health care issues.
It began in the late 1800s with the Industrial Revolution when manufactured canned goods and soda pop gained public popularity. Pre-packaged, prepared foods line the grocery store shelves today. Read the labelsthey contain many of the harmful ingredients that are adding to the further destruction of our immune systems.
It is a known fact in the medical community that the human body is alkaline in nature, but our current Western diet tends toward the acid side. Acidic foods include most meats, fruits and a few vegetables. Sugar is at the root of many of our problems as are most of the white foods like potatoes, rice and white flour. Cancer feeds and thrives on sugar.
Here's a quick review of why acidic foods are harming us:
Research by micro-biologists indicates that excess acid in the blood is destroying our immune systems. In the case of diabetes, scientist believe that acidic blood causes the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas to either reduce insulin output or shut it down. Acids may be preventing the body cells from accepting the energy-giving glucose that is metabolized (converted) from sugar (sucrose).
Most fruits contain fructose, a form of sugar that bypasses the normal process of metabolism so it has little benefit as an energy source. Instead the excess fructose is pumped into the liver where it is converted into triglycerides (fat). Watch out for High Fructose Corn Syrupa cheap sugar substitute. It's in many prepared foods and soft drinks. HFCS is a major player in weight gain.
We are given an immune system at birth. What we do to it from that point on is an individual choice. What makes the most sense is to feed it what it needsa balanced, alkaline diet.
From a Cancer Survivor
As a cancer survivor, I have been making a very serious effort to maintain my alkaline balance. I have virtually eliminated most sugar intake and I do read the labels on processed foods. A diagnosis of cancer need not be a death sentence. Keep a sharp eye on what you eat and drink. I invite you to visit my blog. While it is directed toward reversing diabetes, I have two posts that will be of specific interest to you. One provides detailed information on an alkaline diet and the other is a review of the stunning revelations of the Johns Hopkins report. All the best! See you on the other side.
