AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY (TRY THE KEY WORD) AND ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHN 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 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.
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 color. 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 unsweetenedSoya 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 juicesprovide 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 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, EFA s 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.

1. No plastic containers in micro.
2. No water bottles in freezer.
3. No plastic wrap in microwave.
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'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 CorningWare, 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'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 is one of the reasons. 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.

Sandra wins Community Hero Award 2011
Sandra Hamilton, Chair of Cure Cancer @ UCL on 20th November 2011 was honoured as the Jewish News-Mitzvah Day Community Hero for her work in raising funds for cancer research while battling the disease herself. Sandra Hamilton, who was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma was selected by a panel of judges from a shortlist of eight inspiring individuals who have each made a difference in the community and beyond.
Cure Cancer @ UCL are pleased to announce that the first purchases for UCL have been made and will be delivered early in the new year, this include items to facilitate the storage of archived material, centrifuges and a Real Time PCR machine. Please watch this space for photos of all the new pieces in their new home. Next step is to raise £350,000 for the Cell Sorter. Click here to see the equipment list.
Cancer tears apart millions of families every year. Non- Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL) is a silent but deadly group of cancers of the blood and lymphatic system. In adults they comprise the 5th commonest type of cancer - an estimated 15,000 people will be diagnosed this year in the UK, leading to over 6000 deaths annually. No age group is spared - in children lymphomas represent the 3rd commonest type of cancer. Treatment often involves painful courses of chemotherapy and in some cases bone marrow transplantation. Despite this, there has been relatively little research so far into either the causes of or new treatments for NHLs.
But now there is a glimmer of hope!
UCL - a renowned hospital at one of the world's top universities - has set up a research team who plan ground-breaking work in the search for new, more effective cures.
Many lives are tortured or lost by this disease every year, but it need not be this way!
With your support this suffering can end.
With your help we can stop the pain.
With your help we can save lives!
My name is Sandra Hamilton and I have this disease.
It took three, long, painful, anxious YEARS to even get a diagnosis! Shocking, considering this is one of the most common types of cancer. Having finally been diagnosed, my world crashed down. There was nothing they could offer me; not even any proper insight. However, I have not accepted my fate and given up on life. I am fighting to survive and to help others live too. I love my life, my children, my husband, my world, and I want to stay here just like all the other sufferers I have met along the way.
This cancer needs research. It needs funding. It needs a cure. With the help of family, friends, and UCL, I have set up this charity to offer a future for the thousands of people going through the same pain. This cancer is becoming more common, affecting people of all ages, cultures and sexes. I am determined to defeat this disease as well as to help others. The charity board and I are planning a launch event in October, as well as several other fundraising events. Till then we are desperately seeking sponsors and donations to get this research rolling.
We desperately need to raise £50,000 as soon as possible to fund our first Researcher and some vital equipment. 100% of all donations go towards finding a cure. With your help and support we can stop the pain, save lives and find a cure.
With your help we can
So please, help us. All donations are welcome.
We will soon have an online donation page and a website but for now please send funds to
