This is for everyone who eats lots of protein!
Hey everyone!
For those of you who don't know, I'll be seven years out in August. I had a 'mass' removed above my right eye in February and the pathologists say it was malignant. Once I heard that 'word' I started researching 'cancer' for weeks and have learned TONS about this disease!
The cancer cells are basically healthy cells that have 'changed' due to their environment around them. If a person has an 'acidic' environment, the cells change to what 'we' refer to 'cancer' cells. If a person has an 'alkaline' environment, the cells remain healthy and do not change.
So, what makes an 'alkaline' or 'acidic' environment? The cells are dependant upon what we ingest in our system basically. Now, here's what shocked me.....eating mostly proteins and sugars cause the system to become extremely acidic! Eating mostly vegetables and a few fruits keep the system alkaline. And breads and dairy and sugars basically turn into a fungus in our systems that also change our healthy cells.
I about fell out of my chair when I found out this information! I've been eating mostly proteins for almost seven years! And, then, throughout the years, I've been cheating off and on with sugars and fats! I have never been able to drink milk because I'm lactose intolerant so at least I was safe there. And I knew about breads, corn, peanuts and pistachios being a possible culprit in causing disease. I had studied that years ago, so I tried to lay off those things.
When I found this out, all I could think about was all of us hundreds of thousands of people who have had this surgery and are FORCED to eat mostly protein! My first thought is that we have traded obesity for cancer - CRAP! And there is no way I could keep this information to myself - that would be really wrong! I care too much about people and have a bond with those of you on here who have had this surgery! You're like family to me!
Well, I CAN offer some hope for you. Even though everyone is really eating a lot of protein, you can keep your system in a 'neutral' condition (not acidic or alkaline) by eating 3 times more vegetables per meal than the protein itself! Also, you can get 'alkaline' drops that you put in your water and drink it every day! That will help a LOT!
For those of you who are concerned about this, search online and find out as much as you can about it. There are products at your local health food store that will help get your system in an alkaline condition also. Just because you have an acidic system now doesn't mean you can't change it! It's NEVER too late to change! And there's ALWAYS hope for us!
I know this information is shocking but please don't shoot me - I'm only the messenger! Check out this stuff for yourself and do whatever you can to get your system in an alkaline condition so that you will remain healthy and live long, productive SLIM lives!
I didn't find this information on just one website. The information has been around for years and years and is all over the place.
And as far as my progress with my eye, it's been five weeks and I was healed by the third. Only a scar is left and it's healed up perfectly. My health is better than ever and I'm back in the 150's again! I have no more aches in my body and I have more energy than I've ever had before! My immune system is in top condition and life has NEVER been better than it is today! I'm so grateful for every breath I take!
Blessings to all!

Take Care 
All foods that leave your stomach are acidic. Then they enter your intestines where secretions from your pancreas neutralize the stomach acids. So no matter what you eat, the food in stomach is acidic and the food in the intestines is alkaline. Dawn

This is the 'letter' you are talking about. I don't know about the origin of it, but the contents are true and factual, regardless of who originated it.
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 unsweetened soya 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.

CANCER UPDATE FROM JOHN HOPKINS HOSPITAL , U S - PLEASE READ
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 causes 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 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.
http://www.britannica.com/bps/topic/3809/acidosis# ACIDOSIS is a true medical "occurance" for lack of a better word; And it has its opposite called Alkalosis. I don't know how prevelant is really is...but there are certainly many alternative medical sites trying to capitalize on this with their many products and remedies and I have to question how much of a problem it really is. One of the test before I had surgery was an Arterial Blood GasTest...That is what the test was for. It's checks a persons alkalinity and oxygen through blood gases. It was a requirement by my surgeon and had to be done within 24 hours of surgery ( I could be wrong on the time frame...but it was close)....Anyone else? While meat is acidic...by the time it is processed it becomes alkaline as do many other foods. Some things we eat are toxic (Acidic)...Some vitamins are toxic too....There are a ton of sites out there on this subject. Many people seem to really believe in this as a huge problem...and other think it's bunk! I think their are always some people who are going to be more prone to certain things and others just are not. Example...I'm highly allergic to latex...but I can roll around in poison ivy and not get it...My son just has to be down wind and he's got it everywhere! I used to get the worse cases of tonsilitis my doctor ever saw...but I have never had strep throat or any strep virus! My son gets it all the time...and so does my daughter but they both have their tonsils... Go figure??? Just some thoughts... Anita
