Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins

Greetings,

It seems that every day we learn more about how traditional medicine is finally looking at natural alternatives.  Johns Hopkins has come out and is telling people that chemotherapy is not the only way to eliminate cancer.

Will wonders never cease?

If you did not get a chance to read a great posting on how Lemons can be an effective option in fighting cancer, you can find the post here.  I can’t believe how many hits I have received on this little article. Please share this info with those you love.

All the best,

Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins:

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 a  person's lifetime.

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

4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, but also to environmental, food and lifestyle factors.

5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet to eat more adequately and healthy, 4-5 times/day and by 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, gastrointestinal 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 tumor size.  However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor 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 needs to multiply.

WHAT CANCER CELLS FEED ON:

Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc. are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses, (Personally, I'd rather see people use Stevia - Lou) but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in color.   Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt. 

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 soy milk (a side note, I would rather see people use Almond mike - Lou)  cancer cells are being starved.

Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little other meat, like chicken. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.

A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help 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. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C)..

Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water.  Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.

12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines becomes putrefied and leads to more toxic buildup.

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 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 like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded 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, un-forgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.

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.

•      No plastic containers in microwave.
•      No water bottles in freezer.
•      No plastic wrap in microwave.  

     (another side note,  people should not use a microwave, yes I know we want everything fast, 

      but it's better for you and food tastes better when it's not nuked too... - Lou) 

Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in it's newsletter.   This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Centers well.  Dioxin chemicals cause cancer, especially breast cancer.  Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic. Recently, Dr. Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital, was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers. This especially applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body. Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, only without the dioxin. So things like TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else. 

Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper.   The dioxin problem was one of the reasons for this change.

He also pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is microwaved, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead.

Cancer is Serious "BU$INE$$"

If you know someone who has cancer, you need to send this to them.

Please take the time to view it before it expires, this video will only be available until the 20th for free, please watch this today.

 

If you or anyone you know has had cancer it's a must see. It might be a rude awakening for some people but I've been aware of the inner workings of Big Pharma and the FDA for a long time.

 

Many of you who know us, know that we don't go to doctors, instead we've been going the non-traditional route for many years. If your reading this blog, you know that Pharma tries to destroy anything labeled as "alternative".  Pay special attention to the dialogue of the Chinese scientist as he explains just how the system works in a capitalist environment.

After watching this video, we would highly recommend Dr. Burzynski to people with cancer issues.

 

So please grab a friend, pull up a chair and watch the whole show. It's really worth it.

 

Here is the link to the video - please forward this to those you care about.

Chilling News about a Vaccine You Almost Certainly had as a Child… Does It Have a Secret Cancer Connection?

Greetings,

This is a long post but I hope you take the time to read it.

I grew up in one of the states that had a high exposure rate!

Just yesterday, I heard about the government has just got caught  paying out very large setelments to parents who have children with austism.

Please do your own reasearch on the dangers that have been associated with vaccines.

Chilling News about a Vaccine You Almost Certainly had as a Child…

Does It Have a Secret Cancer Connection?

What does a 12-year-old have in common with a 70-year-old?

Potential exposure to a virus that turns normal cells into cancerous ones...

Certain evidence points to a strong link between a vaccine you had as a child, and cancer… and the infection mysteriously extends to your children and grandchildren.

Mass vaccination campaigns of the 1950s and 1960s are now suspected in thousands of deaths per year via a cancer-causing virus contained in the early polio vaccines. But this doesn't mean you'll get cancer for sure. Keep reading and I'll explain. . 

Researchers discovered this deadly vaccine tragedy in 1994 — when Dr. Michele Carbone found the SV40 virus in 60% of lung cancers (mesotheliomas) studied, 33% of osteosarcoma bone cancers, 40% of other bone cancers…

This is no monkey business!

Known as SV40, this virus came from dead monkeys whose kidney cells were used to culture polio vaccines. Over 98 million people in the U.S., plus more in other countries, were exposed to the contaminated vaccine.

And it appears there's a link to you, even if YOU were not vaccinated.

It turned out to be: medical marvel with a deadly glitch

Polio virus has been around forever — yet paralysis-causing epidemics have only existed since the late 1800s. In fact, 95% of polio cases occur without symptoms. Most victims just get a mild fever. But in a tiny fraction of 1% of victims, it penetrated the blood-brain barrier to cause paralysis or death… which naturally aroused much fear.

At the height of the polio epidemic in the early 1950s, the first polio vaccines were cultured in monkey tissue. The vaccine was rushed to market and made mandatory because of government panic and public hysteria about the disease.

From the beginning there were cries of "foul", accusations of poor manufacturing controls, and questionable efficacy.1

Then in the late '50s the monkey tissue was found to be contaminated with a virus that could be linked to cancer and other serious diseases… after it was too late and millions had received it.

Bernice Eddy, PhD, National Institutes of Health (NIH), discovered that a staggeringly high 70% of hamsters injected with kidney cell cultures containing SV virus died without apparent cause. She later discovered that tumors could be passed easily from one animal to another over a long time period while remaining cancerous.2

It was dubbed SV40 -- the fortieth simian virus found in monkeys' kidney cells.

"The Great Polio Vaccine Cover-Up"…

Eddy went public with this news — which enraged her boss at the NIH to no small degree. He tried everything he could to marginalize and discredit her — viewing her discovery as a direct threat to his career and a public health policy he staunchly supported.3

In June 1961, a letter from a colleague to the surgeon general detailed how Eddy's work was muzzled and repressed.4

Meanwhile by 1960, the Salk vaccine had been administered by injection to half the American public.

But there was a rival vaccine — the oral vaccine developed by Sabin. By mid-1960, sixty million Russians had received Sabin's oral vaccine (OPV) in field trials. It was pronounced a resounding success.

A group of Merck scientists led by Dr. Maurice Hilleman eventually proved both the Salk and Sabin forms were contaminated with SV40.

But the government purposefully kept this under wraps, warning neither doctors nor the public… while the vaccines continued to be given for years.

Eventually word leaked out… on July 25, 1961 the New York Times ran a story on page 26, quoting directly from the government's official press release.5

One news outlet opted against silence… On August 6th, 1961 the National Enquirer carried the year's most complete SV40 story, in an article entitled, "The Great Polio Vaccine Cancer Cover-Up…" running three pages long. Despite its tabloid status, the article contained amazing scientific quotes and an accurate recounting of Eddy's hamster experiments.6

The SV40 was so virulent, it became a popular tool of cancer researchers awed by its ability to transform healthy animal cells into tumor cells in test tubes. This tiny but mighty life form could completely disrupt cells, cause them to lose control of themselves, and to reproduce wildly.

Finally in 1994 Dr. Michele Carbone autopsied dead research animals to make a shocking discovery… SV40 was linked tothe rare malignant mesothelioma — as well as to brain cancer and osteosarcoma (bone cancer).

Carbone's research found that SV40 causes mesothelial cells to become malignant 1,000 times faster than fibroblasts.7

Between 1997 and 2003, 25 new published studies showed presence of SV40 in mesotheliomas… 16 others found SV40 in brain, bone, and other cancers.8

In fact, one study showed the presence of SV40 infections in children born after 1982 — decades after the polio vaccine was supposedly cleaned up9,10. Why SV40 is apparently still spreading is a mystery.

SHOCKING revelations from a vaccine maker…

Initially, no one could fathom how SV40 was transmitted to humans.

That is… until Dr. Maurice Hilleman — head of Merck's vaccine program, developer of more than 36 vaccines, and recipient of a special lifetime achievement award from the World Health Organization — made shocking revelations before he died about Merck's responsibility in unleashing the SV40, as well as the AIDS virus.11

He also testified that the government kept SV40 contamination a secret to avoid public hysteria.

What we NOW know about SV40…

Disturbing new insights:

Documents now conclusively prove that SV40 was never removed from the vaccine stocks after 1963… SV40 tainted seeds were never thrown away — they were used in OPV (oral polio vaccine) for millions of children for nearly four decades12.

SV40 appears in 61% of all new cancer patients — including patients too young to have received the vaccine 40 years ago!13

Nearly 70% of mesothelioma cases test positive for SV40.

SV40 was found in 23% of blood samples and 45% of semen of normal individuals.14

SV40 can be transmitted sexually and through blood transfusions.15

Ten percent of those never exposed directly to tainted vaccines test SV40-positive.

Lancet published clear evidence that tainted polio vaccine is responsible for nearly half of the 55,000 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma cases per year.16

People from states receiving high-SV40 OPV now get osteosarcoma tumors at ten times the rate of those with SV40-free lot numbers.17

Are YOU from a high-exposure state?

Where did you spend your 1950s and 60s? Per NIH, these states had high SV40 vaccine exposure18:

Washington

Oregon

Wyoming

Utah

Minnesota

Iowa

Wisconsin

Illinois

Michigan

Pennsylvania

Washington DC

Maryland

Delaware

New York

Connecticut

Rhode Island

Massachusetts

Vermont

New Hampshire

Low exposure states:

California

Arizona

New Mexico

Colorado

Texas

Kansas

Nebraska

North Dakota

Missouri

Louisiana

Georgia

Tennessee

Kentucky

Ohio

West Virginia

Remaining states are theoretically SV40-free. But, cancer rates are also high in the United Kingdom and Italy, all of which had huge mass vaccination programs.

Scientific integrity or government cover-up?

Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist here — but consider…

When research went public in 1999, NCI declared there's "no evidence of human cancer linked to SV40". But other researchers contend that SV40 had already shown up in a wide variety of tumors — the highest rates in those receiving tainted OPV. Maybe that's not proof it's the cause but it certainly qualifies as a statistical "link"! And, in the science of identifying causes of cancer, correlations like this have long been considered evidence of probable cause.

The government and NIH have denied requests for grants to study SV40. Why?

Government denies a cancer link because of "those who are too young to have received the vaccine in the 1950s" — ignoring the potential of transmission via "shedding" (passing the virus to non-vaccinated people)… something the vaccine was specifically designed to do!

According to NIH, "the NCI is continuing to evaluate the possible link between SV40 infection and human cancers."19

But some in the scientific community question whether this "continuing evaluation" is being performed with total scientific integrity.

One article by an attorney, published in a peer reviewed scientific journal, accuses NCI of deliberately compromising a study that would have shown a link between SV40 and mesothelioma.20

Despite the government's foot dragging...

SV40 is one of the most widely studied viruses in all of microbiology

For forty years, SV40 has been widely studied and well understood. Over 3,400 scientific articles name SV40 in the title… over 15,000 articles mention SV40.

SV40 was routinely used to create human cancers in the lab, to test cancer therapies.21

Moreover, it is now known how this virus causes cancer on a molecular level. SV40 oncogenesis is mediated by the viral large tumor antigen (T-ag) — which inactivates the tumor suppressor proteins p53 and pRb.22

Experts in SV40 research finally announced SV40 is a class 2A human carcinogen.23

Good news: Not EVERYONE

who received SV40 will get cancer...

There is hope. Nearly every Baby Boomer received these vaccines forty or fifty years ago, and sadly, we can't turn back the clock for a do-over.

However, even Carbone, a leading SV40 expert, says, "… you need many different carcinogens, because different carcinogens do different things. Cancer is a multifactorial process."

No one factor can create cancer all by itself. Instead, your cells require numerous "hits" (insults) from various carcinogens.

But Carbone does consider SV40 one of the most potent human carcinogens.

He also goes on to state that cellular changes in your body (unlike a test tube) are influenced by the status of your immune system. A healthy immune system generally seeks and destroys invading viruses.

So, mitigate your personal risk by engaging in strategies known to enhance your immune system, such as:

Eating a mostly raw, organic, high-enzyme diet rich in vegetables… free of sugar, artificial sweeteners, and carbs.

Reduce calories, lose weight, exercise daily…

Control stress.

Give thanks for your daily blessings.

Detoxify yourself, your home, yard, and life as much as possible…

It does appear there's damaging evidence about polio vaccines, but we may never be 100% sure.

All the same, what's done is done. Move forward confidently with strategies known to reduce your risk. And at the same time, be wary and don't repeat the mistakes of the past.

CT scan surge for kids' emergencies raises concern

Greetings,
Please let your friends with children know of this new study.  
There are going to be times when a child will absolutely need a CT scan. 
Parents need to know about the need to prevent children from getting an adult size dosage of radiation.
I don't even like to let them take x-rays of my head when I go to the dentist.
Let us know what you think about this.
All the best,
Lou & Debbie

CT scan surge for kids' emergencies raises concern

By Lindsey Tanner

AP Medical Writer / April 5, 201

CHICAGO—Soaring numbers of kids are getting CT scans in emergency rooms, a study found, raising concerns some may be exposed to adult-sized radiation doses and potential risks for cancer down the road.  The number of ER visits nationwide in which children were given CT scans surged from about 330,000 in 1995 to 1.65 million in 2008 -- a five-fold increase. The number of kids' ER visits didn't increase measurably during the study, but the percentage of visits involving CT scans climbed from about 1 percent to almost 6 percent.

Increases occurred at children's hospitals but also at general hospitals, where most kids are treated, and which raises concerns some may have gotten adult-sized doses of radiation. The study didn't include dose information, but general hospitals may be less likely than pediatric facilities to use special CT protocols with kids to limit their radiation exposure, the study authors said.

Increases in CT scan use have also been found in adults, generating increasing awareness about overuse and potential harm because radiation exposure can cause later cancers.

A single CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis emits about the same amount of radiation as a person would get from five years of exposure to naturally occurring radiation in the environment, according to the American College of Radiology.

Radiation can damage rapidly dividing cells, and children have more of those than adults.

More scans may be done partly because imaging has improved over the years, the researchers said.

CT scans in kids require special oversight, including adjusting doses to their smaller size, because they are more sensitive to radiation than adults, with longer life spans and more time for radiation-related cancers to develop, they said.

The study "underscores the need for special attention to this vulnerable population to ensure that imaging is appropriately ordered, performed and interpreted," the researchers said, led by Dr. David Larson at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center.

The study authors analyzed annual government surveys on ER visits at non-federal hospitals nationwide, focusing on visits in patients younger than age 18. The data include information on CT scan use, but not on the radiation dose used.

The results were published Tuesday in the journal Radiology.

The increases may be due to improvements in CT technology; more modern scanners create clearer images and are much quicker than older models, producing results in just seconds -- a bonus for busy emergency rooms, Larson said.

But other factors likely contributed to the increases, and in some cases, overuse, including fear of lawsuits, which drives some doctors to order tests to avoid getting sued for a missed diagnosis.

"If you send a kid home (without a CT scan) and it turns out you missed an abnormality, not many juries are going to be sympathetic," Larson said.

CT scans were most commonly used for children with head injuries, headaches or abdominal pain.

Larson said it's impossible to tell from the data whether X-rays, which use less radiation, or other tests could have been done instead of CT scans.

Dr. Marta Hernanz-Schulman, a pediatric radiologist at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, said the study trends "are very believable" and illustrate the need to make sure imaging scans aren't used inappropriately in children.

She is a founder of the Image Gently campaign, started in 2008 by an alliance of doctors seeking to raise awareness about ways to reduce children's exposure to medical radiation.

Larson said there are signs CT scan use in kids may have started decreasing since the study ended.

Dr. Steven Krug, emergency department chief at Chicago's Children's Memorial Hospital, said many institutions including his own have started using ultrasound to diagnose appendicitis in some kids with abdominal pain. Ultrasound images aren't as detailed as CT images, and children with uncertain results will still need CT scans, but he said the trend may help limit radiation exposure.

At Carle Foundation Hospital in Urbana, Ill., about 20 percent of the ER patients are children, said Dr. Mike Swindle, emergency department chief. Procedures call for adjusting CT scan radiation doses to children's size and weight, he said.

"We've all become a bit more conservative with ordering" CT scans, Swindle said.

Parents, too, are becoming more aware and increasingly asking about the risks, instead of demanding a CT scan for every bump on the head, he said.
