Latest Cancer Information About Cancer Cells

Got this from a forwarded e-mail. No assurance that these information are 100% accurate but I think they are generally true.

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 multiple
nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental,
food and lifestyle factors.

5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and
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,
gastro-intestinal 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:

a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one
important food supply to the cancer cells. 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 but only in
very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in
colour. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.

b. 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, cancer cells are being starved.

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

d. 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).

e. 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 become putrified 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, unforgiveness 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.

5 Dont's During Baby Bedtime

For the mommies out there! I’ve compiled a short list of DON’TS for baby bedtime. Baby bedtime can either be a bonding experience, or a battlefield. Here are a few don’ts to keep it from being a battlefield. According to Baby Bedtime Center, establishing a positive bedtime routine is crucial for getting baby getting longer, undisturbed sleep during the night. To promote that, here’s a list of things to avoid:

DO NOT let your baby get used to being rocked, played to sleep or any other habit-forming activities. Once the baby gets used to such, they will expect it to be part of the bedtime routine, and could leave the baby over-excited at bedtime, and forcing the baby to sleep 2-3 hours later than the usual bedtime.

DO NOT disturb the baby’s relaxed bedtime. Prevent watching tv an hour before bedtime, or playing anything loud to ruin the mood. Lowering the baby monitor’s volume helps too.

DO NOT encourage sugary snacks or beverages an hour before bedtime. This might make the baby EVEN more active than you’d like bedtime to be. It also might ruin sleep, if the baby needs to go during the night.

DO NOT let the baby’s bed become the place of punishment. That sort of thing will anchor itself into the baby’s memory --- and may prevent him from enjoying a night’s rest there.

DO NOT rush the bedtime routine. For optimum effect and consistency, go through all the steps you normally take to get baby to sleep EVERY night.

If you’d like some ideas on proper bedtime routines, try checking out Baby Bedtime Center’s Bedtime Routine ideas --- it really has everything in terms of getting baby bedtime right. Good luck mommies! If you have any more DON’TS or maybe some DO’S for getting the perfect baby bedtime, leave it in the comments!

Breast or Bottle?

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and other professional groups concerned with the care of newborns advocate breastfeeding as best for your baby. Specifically, the AAP recommends that babies be breastfed exclusively for about the first 6 months. Following the introduction of solid foods, breastfeeding should continue through the first year of life and beyond, if desired.

Breastfeeding may not be possible or preferable for all women. Deciding to breastfeed or bottle-feed a baby is usually based on the mother's comfort level with breastfeeding as well as her lifestyle, but breastfeeding may not be recommended for some mothers and babies. If you have any questions about whether to breastfeed your child, talk to your pediatrician.

Remember, your baby's nutritional and emotional needs will be met whether you choose to breastfeed or formula-feed.

Feed your baby on demand. Most newborns breast-feed eight to 12 times a day — about every two to three hours. Within two to three months, your baby may be satisfied with six to eight feedings a day. Eventually your baby will fall into a fairly predictable feeding schedule, taking in more milk in less time at each feeding. If you feed your baby formula, you'll need to feed a little less often because formula digests more slowly than breast milk does.

The Right Way To Bond With Babies

What is bonding?

Bonding is the intense attachment that develops between parents and their baby. It makes parents want to shower their baby with love and affection and to protect and nourish their little one. Bonding gets parents up in the middle of the night to feed their hungry baby and makes them attentive to the baby's wide range of cries.

Bonding is a process, not something that takes place within minutes and not something that has to be limited to happening within a certain time period after birth. For many parents, bonding is a byproduct of everyday care giving. You may not even know it's happening until you observe your baby's first smile and suddenly realize that you're filled with love and joy.

The Ways Babies Bond
1. Touch becomes an early language as babies respond to skin-to-skin contact. It's soothing for both you and your baby while promoting your baby's healthy growth and development. (read more here)
2. Eye-to-eye contact provides meaningful communication at close range.
3. Babies can follow moving objects with their eyes.
4. Your baby tries — early on — to imitate your facial expressions and gestures.
5. Babies prefer human voices and enjoy vocalizing in their first efforts at communication.

Babies often enjoy just listening to your conversations, as well as your descriptions of their activities and environments.

Early bonding activities that both mom and dad can experience together include:
1. participating together in labor and delivery
2. feeding (breast or bottle); sometimes dad forms a special bond with baby when handling a middle-of-the-night feeding and diaper change
3. reading or singing to baby
4. sharing a bath with baby
5. mirroring baby's movements
6. mimicking baby's cooing and other vocalizations — the first efforts at communication
7. using a front baby carrier during routine activities
8. letting baby feel the different textures of dad's face

5 Steps To Help Baby Sleep Well

Mark Twain once said, “I have never taken exercise except sleeping and resting.” While this is true for most of us (heh), it is especially true for sleeping babies. Sleep produces 3x the growth hormones for a baby's tiny body!!!

For new mothers, there is nothing more comforting than watching the baby sleeping. Not just because she doesn't have to put up with the crying --- it also creates relief for the mom, fully knowing that a sleeping baby equates to someone capable enough to provide comfort to a tiny newborn baby --- she's doing something right.

To help you get from fully awake baby to comfortable sleeping baby, here are a couple of tips:

1. Create a Bedtime Routine. Filipino babies clock in among lowest in sleep time compared to other Asian/Caucasian babies. Setting a nightly routine should help the baby realize that it's about time to sleep.

2. A Clean Baby = Baby Sleeping. A warm gentle bath right before sleep should help the sleeping baby from getting itchy at night, causing night time awakening.

3. A Relaxed Baby = Baby Sleeping. After drying the baby after the bath, lay the baby down on a flat surface and start giving downward strokes, from the chest, the arms, the legs. Touch Therapy has been proven to contribute to a baby's healthy growth.

4. A Dry Baby = Baby Sleeping. Put on a comfy diaper or lampin, some nice soft clean clothes on the baby. If the baby is dry during sleep, it may help prolong sleeping time.

5. Sing a lullaby, rock the baby, gentle/quiet time. Bond with the baby! Introduce bedtime stories or lullabies to help put the baby at ease just right before sleeping. Rock the baby gently to maybe help get to sleep. This may vary from parent-to-parent (or baby-to-baby) but overall, this 5th step is for getting the baby to go to sleep.

Follow these steps and notice how much longer you could watch the baby sleeping. Maybe even take pictures (without flash!) to keep for memories.
