CANCER


Oo. Zodiac sign at nakuha ko ang image na yan sa isang astrology website. Pero hindi tungkol sa astrology ek..ek ang entry ko na 'to. Hep!..Basa!

Mayroon akong ilang mga kakilala at kapamilya pati na rin kapuso na merong sakit na kanser. Mahirap tanggapin na sa lahat ng karamdaman na pwedeng danasin e, eto pa ang malupit na ibinigay sa kanila. Ang iba nakaka-cope up pero merong hindi. Nakakadepress tuloy isipin. Tapos sasabihin na lang ng iba na "ganyan talaga ang buhay." Mahirap arukin kung minsan kung bakit nangyayari ang mga ganito. MArahil ay nagiging trend na ang pagkakaroon ng kanser. Kung wala ka nito, you're out. Hindi ka sosyal. Parang ganon ba.

Isa sa mga tiyahin ng asawa ko dito sa Geneva ay merong breast cancer. Naoperahan at nag-undergo ng chemotherapy. At least sa kaso nya, nalalabanan nya ang kanyang karamdaman kaya tuloy parang napeke ang kanser sa kanya.

Meron din akong pinsan sa HongKong na may breast cancer. Naoperahan na din, na-chemo at na-radiotherapy. Lahat ng mga process na a'to ay pinagdaanan na nya at sabi nga nya para na daw uli sya baby ngayon dahil muling tumubo na ang kanyang dating nalagas na mahabang buhok. Tsk..tsk..sayang, alaga pa naman nya yon ng rebond.

Kahapon, meron akong nameet. Magtatrabaho ako sa kanya. Nirefer ako ng isang kaibigan at ng marinig ko ang pangalan akala ko isa syang Espanyol kasi tunog Pinoy ang pangalan. Pero totoo nga Pilipino sya pero hindi marunong magtagalog kasi since pagkababy nya ay nasa ibang bansa na sila. Masayahin. Buong yabang pa nga nyang ipinakita sa akin ang kanyang painting ng Vigan sa Ilocos at ang kanyang pinakakaingatang banig. Pero meron din sya kanser. Nasal cavity cancer parang ganyan at rare daw ang ganon. Nakuha daw nya sa kanyang pagkakaroon ng Chinese blood. (Ferbert mag-ingat ka singkit). Pilit na nilalabanan at ibinabalik ang buhay sa normal. Na-alert din tuloy ako kasi meron ankong sinusitis.

At syempre kahapon din pag-uwi ko, very timely naman talaga ang pagkakaemail ng dati kong officemate na si Ate Billy. Oo, babae po sya kaya ate. Tunog lalaki lang ang pangalan. Ganyan kami sa opisina dati. May mg pangalan na akala mo babae pero lalaki at lalaki pero babae. Nalilito na nga iba minsan. Anyways, saan na nga tayo? Ay, oo. Ang email nya ay eto. Cancer related pa din. Tsk..tsk..



AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY AND ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHNS HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY .

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 tumours.


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 sma ll amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it w h i te 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 t o no urish 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 e nzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer ce lls 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.



Huss...na-alarm ako. Nakakawindang ang mga infos.

Ate Bill naman, balak mo yata talaga akong i-convert sa kulto mo. Saka na lang. Happy pa naman ako sa pagiging carnivore. Pero sige, in moderation na lang lahat.

Kayo na nagbabasa, pag-isipan nyo din. Ang naisulat ko ay tanging impormasyon lamang. Bahala na kayo magpasya kung maniwala ba kayo o hindi. Okay, meron ka five minutes para mag-isip at eto ay nagsisimula na.

Remember "Prevention is better than cure."
