Jessica’s Notes

Cancer cells is inside every human being. It is whether we have activated those cells to multiply enormously and turn into tumors.I received a forwarded powerpoint slides (summarized from John Hopkins - 20/Oct 2007) about cancer and it’s prevention today. I think it’s a simple guide that we all can follow:

a. Avoid Sugar: Sugar is a cancer feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to cancer cells. Sugar substitutes made of Aspartame is harmful. A better natural substitute would be honey or molasses but only in very small amount. Table salt that has chemical added to make it white in color should be substituted with sea salt.

b. Cut Milk: Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. But cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened Soya milk cancer cells are being starved.

c. Cut meat: Meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become purified and leads to more toxic buildup. 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. In addition to that, meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.

d. Say no to high caffeine food: Avoid coffee, tea and chocolate which contain high caffeine. You can use green tea as a substitute. Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.

e. Reduce plastics: Make sure there are no plastic containers/wrappers in microwave. Bottle water in freezer should also be avoided. According to John Hopkins recent newsletter, dioxin chemical causes cancer, especially breast cancer. Dioxins are highly poisonous to cells of our bodies. Don’t freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from plastic. We should not reheat our food in microwave using plastic containers. This applies to food that contain fat. The combination of fat, high heat and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body. Replacing with glass such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers are highly recommended.
