<p>Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins : </p>
<p>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.</p>
<p> <span id="more-222"></span>
<p>2. Cancer cells occur at least 6 to 10 times in a person&#8217;s lifetime. </p>
<p>3. When the person&#8217;s immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.</p>
<p>4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors. </p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.</p>
<p>8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of    <br />&#160;&#160;&#160; chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction. </p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply. </p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>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&#8217;s killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.&#160; </p>
<p>14. Some supplements build up the immune system&#160; (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the bodies own killer cells to destroy cancer cells.. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body&#8217;s normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells. </p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to&#160; get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells. </p>
<p>*CANCER CELLS FEED ON: </p>
<p>a. 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 color. Better alternatives are Bragg&#8217;s aminos or sea salt. </p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>c. 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.&#160; </p>
<p>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).. </p>
<p>e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine Green tea is a better alternative e 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. </p>
<p>1. No plastic containers in micro. </p>
<p>2. No water bottles in freezer. </p>
<p>3. No plastic wrap in microwave.. </p>
<p>Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well. Dioxin chemicals cause cancer, especially breast cancer. Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don&#8217;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 such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else. Paper isn&#8217;t bad but you don&#8217;t know what is in the paper. It&#8217;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 is one of the reasons.    <br />Please share this with your whole email list&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;. </p>
<p>Also, he 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 nuked, 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. </p>

<p><b>Revolutionary Food Labeling Helps Swedes Cut Carbon</b> </p>
<p>Last week, we reported on cutting-edge research by the Rodale Institute demonstrating that by transitioning all of the world&#8217;s farmland to organic, we could sequester 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions. As Rodale and more and more soil scientists are pointing out, if we could combine a mass transition to organic agriculture with restorative grazing and forestry, we could sequester 100% of global greenhouse gas emissions! </p>
<p>It&#8217;s great to know we have a time-tested, low-tech, grassroots organic solution for global warming and climate chaos, but the burning question is how do we launch and supercharge this food, farming, and forestry revolution in time to save the planet? The Swedes have come up with a simple but revolutionary idea to actively mobilize consumers to do the right thing and strike a blow against global warming and chemical/GMO/energy-intensive agriculture, processing, and distribution: new food labels on grocery store and restaurant items listing the specific carbon dioxide and greenhouse gas emissions embedded in each product.</p>

<p>Islam Siddiqui has been nominated as the Chief Agricultural Negotiator for the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative. If Congress confirms Siddiqui, he will no doubt continue to undermine public health, biodiversity, climate stability and food security as the &quot;inside man&quot; in the Obama Administration for his former clients at CropLife (a front group for genetic engineering and chemical-intensive agribusiness corporations including Monsanto, Syngenta, DuPont and Dow Chemical). </p>
<p>Croplife America&#8217;s regional partner, Mid America CropLife Association, notoriously &quot;shuddered&quot; at Michelle Obama&#8217;s organic garden and launched a letter writing campaign in protest, saying that Michelle&#8217;s rejection of toxic pesticides and chemical fertilizers in the White House Garden was a slap in the face for Food Inc. and America&#8217;s chemically-addicted farmers. </p>
<p>Another Washington wheeler-dealer using the revolving door between government and big business, Siddiqui formerly worked for Clinton&#8217;s pro-biotech USDA. Siddiqui gained notoriety in 1997-98 as an insider pushing for the infamous proposed USDA regulations for national organic standards that would have allowed toxic sewage sludge, irradiated foods, and genetically modified organisms to be labeled &quot;organic.&quot; After a nationwide SOS (Save Organic Standards) campaign, led by the OCA and our allies, which generated an unprecedented backlash, Siddiqui and his cohorts backed down and withdrew their proposals. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s time to take down Siddiqui and his cohorts </p>
<p>once again. We must tell the Senate to reject President Obama&#8217;s nomination of Siddiqui as the Agricultural Trade Representative.</p>

<p><img height="165" hspace="10" src="http://www.organicconsumers.org/images/bytes/alexis_lotion.jpg" width="130" align="right" vspace="10" />Quote of the Week: <b>Obama, Which Side Are You On?</b> </p>
<p>&quot;Organic agriculture can feed the world, turn back climate change and make food production more resilient to droughts and floods. Organic agriculture can do it with biodiversity instead of biotech, greenhouse gas sequestration instead of emissions, natural pest management instead of toxic pesticides, humus-rich compost instead of fossil fuel fertilizers and sewage sludge, more family farmers and better conditions for farm workers.&quot; </p>
<p>&quot;The question of which agriculture model will dominate food production is a question we only have one opportunity to answer. Once a seed or animal variety is extinct or contaminated with foreign genes, we will never get it back. In an age when a billion people are stuffed while a billion people are starved, most people on the planet suffer from either poor nutrition, exposure to toxic ingredients, diet-related diseases, or all three. Agriculture is a life and death issue for all of us.&quot; </p>
<p>&quot;So, which side is the Obama Administration on?&quot;</p>

<p> <span id="more-89"></span>
</p>
<p>If the USDA delays enforcement of organic standards in personal care, the OCA will be forced to back up its grassroots lobbying with market pressure in the form of a boycott of &quot;cheater brands&quot; and a &quot;buycott&quot; or promotion of brands that are genuinely organic. Before OCA launches a boycott of brands that are falsely marketing themselves as organic, it will give producers an opportunity to change their labels or marketing claims. Beginning this week at the Natural Products Expo East in Boston, OCA will meet with personal care products companies engaged in organic fraud to urge them to make a pledge to consumers that they will either meet USDA organic standards or stop making false organic claims.</p>
