AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY AND ELIMINATE CANCER, SEEMS LIKE THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY …

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 foods it needs to multiple.
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. Note: 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 will 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 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 will 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, unforgiving 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.

Live a healthy and happy life. Consult your doctor to more …

    • Don’t add to your pain by believing this idiot. Some cancers cannot be cured, even with the best medicine and the best doctors in the world. Any doctors i have ever met who specialise in treating children and babies have been the most dedicated, unselfish people and the kind of people who would value curing a child way above any amount of money. Sorry you lost your child – I know what that feels like.

    • I just had surgery and I asked the doctor could I wait to have the surgery for one and a half months because my immune system was weak. The surgeon said no and then it appears they removed the wrong part from my body. CT scan was not done thoroughly as the physician ordered and it looks like I am going to need surgery again. I am not going too have the same surgeon and not because I think he did anything wrong but I think I could of waited until the CT scan was done properly. I feel he wanted the money not know but right now. I’m slowly dying and I chemo will never be an option for me. I will pray for you for healing of your lost of your baby.

  25. The Hoax: A Strong Immune System Destroys Cancer

    The Truth: When it comes to cancer and the immune system, it is not a matter of strong or weak as the fictional report contends, but rather an issue of recognition. “The immune system simply does not recognize cancer. In its complexity, the cancer cell has learned to disguise itself to the immune system as a normal, healthy cell. Cells infected with viruses or bacteria send out danger signals setting the immune system in action. But cancer cells do not, explains Elizabeth Jaffee, co-director of cancer immunology and leading expert on cancer and the immune system.” By deciphering the methods cancer cells use to make them invisible to the immune system, Jaffee and team have developed cancer vaccines that have successfully triggered immune reactions against prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, leukemia, and multiple myeloma.

  53. If a person lives in moderation in all areas of life watching what they eat, exercising and taking care of their spiritual and mental health, they put themselves in the category of living well. Common sense avoids these things and builds in healthy fruits and vegetables. We can’t avoid death – quality of life is just as important. People should live healthy for the sake of living healthy, not for fear of dying of cancer.

      Besides if you really read carefully a bible you’ll find that Adam and Eve ate fresh fruit and vegetables. They did not eat the meat or neither they cooked and they lived happy and longer life… maybe that’s the key for us as well….

  61. Uh. Not too informed huh? Nutrasweet is not made of Aspartame, it’s saccharine. Soy milk is proven to be harmful to the metabolism and in males can mess with the hormones causing other unwanted side effects. Fruits and some vegetables turn into sugar in the body- so we should avoid those as well? I would do a little more research prior to sounding ignorant– the amount of oxygen has little to do with cancer, otherwise every athlete in existence would be cancer free. I somehow don’t think Johns Hopkins would want someone speaking for them on this topic. I think I’ll forward this information to them.

  70. There are serious misunderstandings about how the body works here, and much of it is misinformation. Hoping something is true doesn’t necessarily make it true. Western science is the best method we have for determining the truth of a situation with randomized control trials. Anything untested in such a rigorous environment could be chance or placebo. An accumulation of anecdotes does not equal data. Check out Healthcare Triage on youtube for some clear thinking about science and medicine.

  75. Nutrition and lifestyle changes can help with prevention, but a cure (chemo, radiation, and/or surgery) is much more scientific and complex than can be explained in a blog post. People don’t understand these things, and the fear and what we see people suffer through is what makes us want to believe that these much more simplistic things can cure us. (I liken it to belief in a religion; it makes people feel better.) I’m a science and evidence based healthcare professional, but I also believe in incorporating alternative medicine. It’s not one or the other, particularly when trying to practice culturally sensitive based medicine. When you are dealing with something like cancer or heart disease, you HAVE to take a holistic approach. That’s what I read the Hopkins page as saying, but not what I read the blog post as saying. Anyhow…have a Happy New Year.

    you cannot prove this. anger is an emotion people feel which helps motivate them to get out of bad situations. I dislike you promoting this lie. people who have been sexually or physically or even verbally abused cannot NOT be angry.. that anger helps get them out of the situation. Sadness, crying, etc, does not.

    If you don’t know anything about mental health, don’t give advice.

  85. Quoted from Snopes:
    “Information falsely attributed to Johns Hopkins called, “CANCER UPDATE FROM JOHN HOPKINS” describes properties of cancer cells and suggests ways of preventing cancer. Johns Hopkins did not publish the information, which often is an email attachment, nor do we endorse its contents. The email also contains an incorrect spelling of our institution as “John” Hopkins; whereas, the correct spelling is “Johns” Hopkins.

    Another hoax email that has been circulating since 2004 regarding plastic containers, bottles, wrap claiming that heat releases dioxins which cause cancer also was not published by Johns Hopkins.
    The web site of Johns Hopkins’ Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center also notes of the “Cancer Update” e-mail that:
    It has become such a problem that the National Cancer Institute, American Cancer Society, and individual cancer centers like the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center have posted warnings on their Web sites. Emails offering easy remedies for avoiding and curing cancer are the latest Web-influenced trend. To gain credibility, the anonymous authors falsely attribute their work to respected research institutions like Johns Hopkins. This is the case with the so-called “Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins.”

  91. FDA and Big Pharma are killing us off — all from greed. Statistics now are 1 out of 2.5 people in U.S. will get cancer — so much higher than anywhere in world. Why? FDA and Big Pharma don’t want to find a cure — they have suppressed many hopeful cures — because Cancer is a multi-billion dollar business and the economy would suffer greatly if there was a “cure”. Chemo and radiation are no more successful than they were 40 yrs ago — a 2% survival rate past 5 yrs. U.S needs to educate themselves and demand action — this is an epidemic that is affecting young adults and children at alarmingly increasing rates. Food additives, pesticides, GMOs, environmental toxicity — all things banned from Europe DECADES ago — have to be contributing to our skyrocketing cancer statistics. We need to demand better for ourselves, our children and grand-children!!

  124. Different cancers feed off of different things. My cancer feeds off of hormones. So anything that acts like hormones in your body is a no no. Soy (soy was mentioned as a good thing in this article) paprbens act like estrogen in your body. I try to avoid as much as possible. I take a pill that blocks hormones…. Starving the cancer. I eat all the fruit veggies etc that stop cancer. I still got it. I will only work with my doctor and pharmacist. They know what is best for me and my cancer. They also offer homeopathic and diet along with chemo and radiation. There are a lot of factors. Europeans are more likely to get cancer than Hispanics or blacks. If you had a certain Jewish background that puts you at higher risk for breast and prostrate cancer. (BRACA gene mutations). I pay no attention to articles that tell you how to avoid cancer. I had a false sense of security. According to the internet, and magazine articles I was at very very low risk. How do you explain someone who smokes and drinks everyday for most of their lives and never have cancer, then someone who lives a healthy life and has lung cancer? My advice eat healthy, know your family history and get regular check ups alongside with the ones recommended for certain ages.

    This post has obviously been making the rounds and found its way onto my facebook feed today, posted by someone I know. As a member of the healthcare community, I recognized the inaccuracies of it and was surprised that such a reputable agency as Johns Hopkins could be behind it. Further investigation found this rebuttal from J.H.: http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/kimmel_cancer_center/news_events/featured/cancer_update_email_it_is_a_hoax.html . I don’t know where you obtained this information (and there may be wholesome elements for healthy living imbedded in it), but it is clearly false. If only it was this simple, I certainly could have helped many patients over the years to avoid and defeat cancer.

  134. A few additions/corrections to this info. : (c) acidosis is probably the leading cause of cancer. pH needs to be understood as “voltage.” When voltage is measured in a solution, it is rendered in pH. A healthy cell functions best at minus 22 millivolts (7.2 pH). A damaged cell needs minus 50 millivolts to heal (7.5 pH). Soft drinks (especially the dark ones) have a pH of 2.5 and not only throw the body into acidosis but restrict the amount of oxygen in the blood (16). (12 & 13) Taking a powerful digestive enzyme with cooked or processed food fixes the problems with undigested proteins, fats, sugars, carbs, etc. and, taken on an empty stomach, enhances oxygenation of the blood by a factor of 5 and also breaks down cell shells of virus and bacteria. (e) distilled water is the same molecular configuration as cell water and if treated with mineral enhancers such as Xooma’s X2O, it becomes extremely alkaline and is the most bioavailable source of hydration on the planet. The main key to a strong immune system is a full complement of neurotransmitters. Most people are neurotransmitter depleted because if the body is deficient in even one of the minerals needed to make it, it doesn’t get made. Alcohol, caffeine, unfermented soy and artificial sweeteners ALL block mineral absorption in the body. We need IONIC minerals, which can bypass the digestive system. Best source for these is Marine Phytoplankton. (Taking a mineral supplement without a powerful digestive enzymes is just flushing your money down the toilet). And finally, Hypothyroidism is epidemic, and the standard tests can’t detect it. Fluoride replaces the Iodine in thyroid hormone and renders it useless. To function correctly, our cells need an energy molecule (ATP) as fuel. ATP is manufactured in our mitochondria and the fuel the mitochondria need to produce it is thyroid hormone. Fluoride is almost impossible to filter out of water and it’s in your bottled drinks, soups, the entire food chain. Distillation is the only sure way to get rid of it. Also, root canals produce an extremely toxic carcinogen called thioethers. These nasty little buggers can completely shut down your immune system. Think about it.

May as well eat, drink, and be merry instead of living every day in fear of dying, because it will eventually happen one way or the other. May as well be happy enjoying some quality of life instead of being worried about the quantity of years left to live. Besides, the Bible says that worry is a sin, so enjoy life and do not worry.

Enzymes used in the digestive process are NOT part of our immune system so refraining from meat (while certainly a much healthier alternative in many so many ways) will NOT free up enzymes to fight cancer. Any enzymes taken orally (whether in meat, vegetation, or medication form) are broken down into amino acids by the digestion process (ironically, by other enzymes) and even if they were a part of our body’s defense mechanism (in their original form) they wouldn’t do any good at that point. According to the American Cancer Society, there is no evidence that enzyme therapy is actually effective in the treatment of cancer, though additional research is still being conducted..

    Yea certain things are far more likely to cause cancer like smoking but that’s only because it has thousands of chemicals in it that your not usually going to come by if you don’t smoke.

    SO many more people get cancer now than they used to and it is simply down to the amount of exposure people have to foreign chemicals such as those in cleaning products etc

There are so many other, healthier alternatives to dairy, such as nut milks of all varieties, coconut milk and hemp milk, to name a few.

  208. Thank you for posting this. I’ve no idea who you are or why you care about people healing from and/or avoiding cancer, but I’m glad that you’ve shared this important information.

    I agree with most of the above (except for the one or two points that I’d never heard about before and will consequently research further). However, although I know I probably seem like a relatively non-credible source, being a random person on the internet, I’ve got a couple of things I’d like to add:

    a) Tea can be herbal and thus free of caffeine. Herbal teas can have great health benefits if used properly; thus, it is ok to drink herbal tea if you’ve got cancer, but not all that great to drink caffeinated tea. Also avoid teas that have “flavour” or even “natural flavour” in them if no one in the store can tell you exactly what that is. Instead, drink tea that’s got very clear ingredients with no added flavours or sweeteners. What doctors say about coffee, red wine, and chocolate being “good in small doses every day” basically means that they don’t want to hurt the feelings of anyone who is an avid coffee drinker/wine drinker/chocolate eater. Just keep in mind that you can get the benefits of any of those things from other foods. Blueberries, for example, are a great source of antioxidants, and are much healthier than chocolate and red wine.

    b) Cottage cheese mixed with flaxseed oil, both of which are organic: this, through personal experience (my mother is a cancer survivor, and one of her friends who had cancer also tried this, and they got the idea from extensive research on natural cancer treatments), I know to reduce tumour size significantly. Both women were scanned by some machine (MRI? CAT? whatever it is doctors use nowadays) for tumours, told they were going to have an appointment for surgery in a couple of months, and sent home to deal with it. After eating cottage cheese mixed with flaxseed oil every day in the intervening time, they were scanned again and told by very surprised doctors that their tumours had become unexpectedly small. My mom also recommends 100% pure cranberry juice, watered down with spring water (no additives of course) if you can’t stomach the sourness.

    c) It is possible to find meat free of hormones and other harmful substances if you care enough to look hard enough to find it. The same goes for milk. I’ve no knowledge of the connection between milk and mucus and cancer cells, but if you want to drink milk and be healthy in general, the stereotypical grocery store brands aren’t going to help you much. Speaking of which, if you live in a place to which it is impossible to get fresh fish, then when you’re looking for fish to buy, look for the kind that has been frozen WITHOUT using sodium phosphate. Also avoid farmed fish and go for “wild” instead. “Atlantic” does not mean that it’s from the Atlantic ocean, it’s just a name for a type of fish.

    d) Genetically modified foods are also probably a good idea to avoid, along with any other man-made thing for which its level of harmfulness/helpfulness is “undetermined”. Same with things that have canola oil or any form of preservatives.

    e) It would be awesome if you could share a link, if it exists, that leads to the information you’ve posted above – this would help with credibility. If there’s no link, consider citing information using an accepted citation style! It’s hard to convince skeptics if you’ve got no sourcing. I know my mom has read tonnes of books on the subject and I can find out the names of some of them if you like, but I don’t have them on hand at the moment.

    f) If you’ve got cancer or know someone who’s got it and are/is having a hard time, try searching up cancer support groups in your community! And if you live “in the middle of nowhere”, there’s probably one online that’s a good fit for you. But beware of any that think that cancer can be “cured” with a pill.

    That being said, best wishes and hugs to whoever is reading this and has been impacted by cancer in some way.

  215. It is irresponsible to imply that cancer can be avoided/sent into remission if someone changes his or her eating habits, or adopts these guidelines to successfully prevent cancer. As valid as it may (or may not) be – the implication is that the cancer sufferer is somehow at fault for succumbing to the disease. It is wrong to blame the victim.

  232. Thank you for this common sense information. With regard to point #15, there is a reason why negative thoughts and attitudes are called “Dark”, while positive, happy thoughts and attitudes are called “Light”. Everything is Energy. Energy is neither created nor destroyed but is transformed by thought and actions upon it. The highest form of energy vibrates at such an intensity that we call it Light or Fire. We are a product of that Fire and Light and we live within a stepped down spectrum of frequencies that encompasses what we call physicality. We use that energy as we engage in a process of learning about this energy called Life as we define ourselves in relation to it. We, in effect, are constantly using that energy to create the framework in which we have chosen to experience that Life. We can choose to live in darkness or we can choose to live in light by how we choose to think and act within that Life.

    Life is about FLOW. A Dead Sea is called Dead because energy in the form of water flows into it while nothing flows out of it. We become as a Dead Sea when we become non-forgiving, judgmental, grasping, clinging, afraid to “let go and let live”. We in effect “dam up” the flow of the life giving energy which is abundant and available to all. We become a little cesspool in an ocean of abundance because of a sense of limitation, lack, deprivation, self pity, anger, etc. That cesspool is a pool of darkness and it breeds death. Cancer is just a manifestation of the stagnant, darkened energy that has turned from life to death.

    We created the stagnant darkness by our wrong thoughts, attitudes, feelings and how we use energy. We can uncreate that darkness by “SEEING” the Light Side of things and by directing that Light into our darkness. Instead of trying to run from pain, turn around and hold a Torch of Love to it. Let the Fire of Love consume that darkness and let it light up the dark corners of our mind. You can also AFFIRM the action of the Light and Fire to speed up the process of consuming that darkness. The Violet spectrum of light has been used in many medical applications. There is a Spiritual Dimension of the Violet Fire that is able to transmute all forms of negativity back into light. This simple little Affirmation helps accomplish that: “I am a being of violet fire, I am the purity God desires”. God is that Light and Fire Energy (Deu 4:24, 1 John 1:5) and his desire for us is Eternal Life, not death.

    Deu 30:19 “I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:”

Protection by these means would be sensible and also the healthiest. Over 60 years of research demonstrates Earth’s electrical airwaves are healing for the body, and essential for cell reproduction.

    Several of these are not backed by medical research and are misleading. Particularly 11a, 11b, 11c are completely made up. Your body converts most of what is digestible into sugar because that is what cells use for energy at the molecular level. Cancer does not eat mucus. That is absurd. Pretty much everything you eat is acidic. There are very few basic things. Meat is no more acidic that fresh fruits and vegetables and is less acidic in many circumstance.

  323. I think that it is great that you are sharing this information as you have a lot of great advice listed here, but you also have a lot of false information throughout this article. Unfortunately, it greatly undermines the credibility of what you are writing. For example on two points you make contradictory statements which both can’t be true. In point “11e” tells someone to refrain from drinking caffeine and yet you advocate green tea. Green tea is a fairly high source of caffeine and is a tea, which by definition, you recommended avoiding. In point “11a” you advise to avoid sugar and artificial sweeteners, yet recommend honey. Honey, while naturally derived (as is sugar by the way), IS pure sugar. Other information that is posted is highly controversial and should be supported with facts. The 11a discussion on salt is completely off-topic as you have not shown how it related to cancer at all. 11b – soy is highly controversial and many studies suggest that it is toxic to the body and should be avoided. 12, where is the source for this? Mammals were designed to eat meat. And chicken and fish are just as difficult to digest and would also, by your definition, become putrid. As stated in the beginning, I am not just trying to be critical – on the contrary – you raise awareness to many important points. I am just asking that you address these issues so that the contradictory advice does not undermine the validity of your recommendations.

  361. Why have you written an article which sounds a lot like “cancer treatment is evil, all you need is some veg”. Healthy diet reduces risk of cancer, but the science in this is shockingly bad. Case in point “Water–best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.” Distilled water is just water which has been boiled and the water vapour collected. It leaves all the impurities behind so you just have pure water, it’s like filtering but better. Distilled water is pure H2O and therefore neutral, because for every acidic ion it can make, a basic (alkaline) one is produced too. The oxygenated one is rubbish too. One of the main causes of cancer is cell damage through oxidation, in addition when exercising you use more oxygen, which resultsin the muscles sometimes not getting enough and having to rely on anaerobic respiration (respiration without oxygen). That’s why you get cramp.

    Every Cell can become a cancer-cell. Because if the cell starves or dies from toxic-stuff that we shovel into our body. Its last resort is to split-up so that the odds that 1 part survives is higher.
    With the things you pointed out + something that gives you energie you can heal cancer! I know many people who got rid of cancer that way 🙂

    80-90% of the supermarked-products aint healthy (preservatives, flavor enhancer!). Even our vegetables are a lil unhealthy caused by the industrie. Pain-killer, Medics, Alcohol, Drugs, genetic altered crops…when our body sees something as unnatural it fights it. That costs power and ressources. When we only get bad ressources the math will kill us. Cause you cant take and take energie out of a system and think it would work out. Most diseases we get are cost by the ignorance that chemical altered food aint healthy. That drugs aint healthy and so on..

    People dont even trink normal water anymore! That fucks you up like hell. Stay away from Soda, Coffee and Stuff. First its a lil hard because your body is used to the stuff, but when you are “clean” you will feel a lot better in your life. Took me years to understand all that. I recommend that you just test it. Change your lifestyle step by step and your body will start to regenerate!

    Not just your body also your mind. Cause depressions or bad mood etc are caused by a lack of healthy food and/or a problem with your digestion (anti-biotics like to kill our own bacteria. The good stuff we need to digest properly). When your body cant digest in the right way it starts to store it as fat. Most people with “diet-problems” have digestion-problems! The body cant get or find what it needs in the food so you keep being hungry and keep eating with no effect. So always check your stomach and your intestine.

    To understand the system behind it more watch that Video:

    (Biology of Belief – Bruce Lipton)

    After that watch this one:

    To get energie in your system (in case of a sickness) do stuff like:
    Acupuncture, Yoga, Meditation, Reiki, Energetic-Fields-Work, Sun-gazing!
    (Tested all of them. If done right, they work.)

    The Truth about the “Cancer Update” Email Hoax

    Emails offering easy remedies for avoiding and curing cancer are the latest Web-influenced trend. To gain credibility, the anonymous authors falsely attribute their work to respected research institutions like Johns Hopkins. This is the case with the so-called “Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins.”

    The gist of this viral email is that cancer therapies of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy do not work against the disease and people should instead choose a variety of dietary strategies.

    Traditional therapies, such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, work. The evidence is the millions of cancer survivors in the United States today who are alive because of these therapies. We recognize that treatments don’t work in every patient, or sometimes work for awhile and then stop working, and there are some cancers that are more difficult to cure than others. These problems are the focus of ongoing cancer research.

    We’ll go through each statement in the email hoax and provide real responses from Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center experts.

    Statements:

    The Hoax: Everyone Has Cancer Cells
    The Hoax: A Strong Immune System Destroys Cancer
    The Hoax: Cancer is Caused by Nutritional Deficiencies and Supplements Will Correct Them
    The Hoax: Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy Harms Normal Cells. Surgery Causes Cancer to Spread
    The Hoax: Cancers Feed on Certain Foods
    The Hoax: Cancer is a Disease of Mind, Body and Spirit
    The Hoax: Oxygen Kills Cancer Cells

    The Hoax: Everyone Has Cancer Cells

    The Truth: Cancer is a genetic disease resulting from a variety of mutations and alterations either inherited from our parents or, more commonly, acquired over time due to environmental exposures and behaviors, such as smoking and poor diet. These alterations turn off important cell growth regulators allowing cells to continually divide unchecked, explains Luis Diaz, a clinician-scientist in Ludwig Center for Cancer Genetics at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins. This type of cell is called a malignant or cancer cell. Among the trillions of cells in the human body, inevitably everyone has some abnormal or atypical cells that possess some of the characteristics of cancer cells, most resolve themselves and never result in cancer, says Diaz.

    There is no single or standard test for cancer. There are ways to screen for certain cancers with tests such as colonoscopy for colon cancer, mammography for breast cancer, PSA for prostate cancer, and the Pap smear for cervical cancer, and these tests can detect cancers in a very early and curable stage. For many cancers, there currently are no screening tests, and they are diagnosed when they begin to cause symptoms.

    Diaz and other Kimmel Cancer Center researchers are working on new tests that detect abnormal DNA shed by cancer cells into blood and body fluids and have the ability to find cancers before they cause any symptoms. Approaches like this could lead to a broad-based screening test for cancer.

    Tests like these also are being used to detect cancer recurrences and malignant cells left behind following surgery, and can find cancers that are not detectable under the microscope or in x-rays.

    Other researchers are studying cancer stem cells. They are stealth cells that make up just a tiny fraction of a tumor. While small in number, investigators believe they may be the cells that drive certain cancers and lead to cancer recurrence. Therapies that target these cells are now being tested in clinical trials.

    A team of our breast cancer researchers has developed a method that could make it possible to detect breast cancer from the DNA contained in a single drop of blood.

    But, while evasive cancer cells are a challenge and the focus of ongoing research, it does not mean, as the email contends, that all patients, even those treated successfully for cancer, have cancers-in-waiting—undetectable but still there. People are treated and completely cured of cancer everyday.

    The Hoax: A Strong Immune System Destroys Cancer

    The Truth: When it comes to cancer and the immune system, it is not a matter of strong or weak as the fictional report contends, but rather an issue of recognition. “The immune system simply does not recognize cancer. In its complexity, the cancer cell has learned to disguise itself to the immune system as a normal, healthy cell. Cells infected with viruses or bacteria send out danger signals setting the immune system in action. But cancer cells do not, explains Elizabeth Jaffee, co-director of cancer immunology and leading expert on cancer and the immune system.” By deciphering the methods cancer cells use to make them invisible to the immune system, Jaffee and team have developed cancer vaccines that have successfully triggered immune reactions against prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, leukemia, and multiple myeloma.

    The Hoax: Cancer is caused by Nutritional Deficiencies and Supplements Will Correct Them

    The Truth: Dietary habits and lifestyle choices, such as smoking, contribute to the development of many human cancers, says Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center director William Nelson. Our experts recommend a balanced diet as a way of reducing cancer risk. In terms of supplements, Nelson points out that while they may help mediate vitamin deficiencies, taking doses above what the body needs provides no added benefit.

    The Hoax: Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy Harms Normal Cells. Surgery Causes Cancer to Spread

    The Truth: Chemotherapy and radiation therapy kills cancer cells with remarkable selectivity, says Nelson. There are some temporary and reversible side effects common to cancer therapies, including hair loss and low blood counts. Limiting and managing these side effects is an integral part of treatment.

    Surgery is the first line of treatment for many types of cancer. It does not cause cancer to spread. Cancers spread to other tissues and organs as a tumor progresses and cancer cells break away from the original tumor and travel through the bloodstream to other body sites.

    The Hoax: Cancers Feed on Certain Foods

    The Truth: The premise is that cancer cells feed on certain foods, and if a person refrains from eating these foods, the cancer will die. According to our experts, a poor diet and obesity associated with a poor diet is a risk factor for the development of cancer. However, there is no evidence that certain foods alter the environment of an existing cancer, at the cellular level, and cause it to either die or grow.

    While there is such a thing as tumors that produce mucus, the mucus made by a tumor does not result from drinking milk. And, eating less meat, while a good choice for cancer prevention, does not free up enzymes to attack cancer cells, explains cancer prevention and control expert Elizabeth Platz.

    Moderation is key, says Platz. As part of a balanced diet, sugar, salt, milk, coffee, tea, meat, and chocolate—the foods the “Update” calls into question—are all safe choices, she says. The real concern with many of these, particularly sugar, is that it adds calories to a diet and can lead to obesity, and obesity is a major risk factor for cancer. A balanced nutritious diet, healthy weight, physical activity, and avoiding alcoholic drinks may prevent as many as 1/3 of all cancers. Platz recommends eating at least five servings of fruits and vegetables per day and limiting red and processed meats, like hot dogs.

    Several Johns Hopkins experts participated in the World Cancer Research Fund – American Institute for Cancer Research report Food, Nutrition, Physical Activity, and the Prevention of Cancer: A Global Perspective, published in November 2007, which is considered by cancer prevention experts to be an authoritative source of information on diet, physical activity and cancer. Their recommendations for cancer prevention and for good health in general are:

    Be as lean as possible without becoming underweight.
    Be physically active for at least 30 minutes every day.
    Avoid sugary drinks. Limit consumption of energy-dense foods (particularly processed foods high in added sugar, or low in fiber, or high in fat).
    Eat more of a variety of vegetables, fruits, whole grains and legumes such as beans.
    Limit consumption of red meats (such as beef, pork and lamb) and avoid processed meats.
    If consumed at all, limit alcoholic drinks to 2 for men and 1 for women a day.
    Limit consumption of salty foods and foods processed with salt (sodium).
    Don’t use supplements to protect against cancer.
    Our experts recommend that people meet their nutritional needs through their food choices. While vitamin supplements can be helpful in people with nutritional deficiencies, evidence suggests that supplementation above what the body can use provides no added health benefit.

    The Hoax: Cancer is a Disease of Mind, Body, and Spirit

    The Truth: Cancer is a disease caused by genetic alterations. Many times, these alterations occur through our own behaviors—cigarette smoking, a poor and unbalanced diet, virus exposures, and sunburns, says cancer prevention and control expert John Groopman.

    How stress, faith, and other factors influence this is largely unknown. We would like people to be happy, loving, and stress free, simply because it is a nice way to live and can contribute to an overall feeling of well being, says Platz. There is no evidence, however, that a person prevents or causes cancer based on his or her state of mind.

    Still, we understand that a cancer diagnosis can make patients and families feel stressed and anxious, and these are not pleasant feelings. So, we offer extensive patient and family services, including a cancer counseling center, pain and palliative care program, chaplain services and a meditation chapel, an image recovery center, and the Art of Healing art and music program.

    The Hoax: Oxygen Kills Cancer Cells

    The Truth: Platz recommends regular exercise as a part of any healthy lifestyle, but says there is no evidence that breathing deeply or receiving oxygen therapy prevents cancer.

    On its Web site, the American Cancer Society includes the following statement about oxygen therapy, “Available scientific evidence does not support claims that putting oxygen-releasing chemicals into a person’s body is effective in treating cancer. It may even be dangerous. There have been reports of patient deaths from this method.” Read more

A healthy immune system tracks down unhealthy cells and destroys them – if you have a steady supply of glutathione. Immunocal has been proven Patent CA 2142277 anti-cancer therapeutic compositions for prophylaxis or for treatment of cancer. Immunocal is a natural source of the glutathione precursor cysteine for the maintenance of a strong immune system. It is fat-free and contains less than 1% lactose and has a high protein biological value (<110BV) providing all essential amino acids and this natural product is listed in PDR and CPS. This discovery is the result of over 40 years of research at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. Many have been able to suppress tumour growth, eliminate carcinogens, mutagens, retard oxidative damage to DNA, prevent wasting disease and ease the side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Without glutathione you die! Take a look at the research at http://www.immunotec.com/iamokay..until there is a cure ..there is Immunocal.

If a plant-base diet is best for humans, how come the incidents of cancer are so low within the Inuit populations? Just by the nature of their physical location, eating a diet made up of 80% vegetables is all but impossible. While plant food is a fantastic source of fiber and other vital nutrients, it is not the only (or even best) alternative. Other diets such as Paleo, Blood-Type, and Geno-Type offer much more realistic dietary solutions with the same healing characteristics.

    What they don’t say is how OUR WORLD causes cancer. Plastics, chemically treated materials, gases, carcinogens, radiation, etc. that people are exposed to on a daily basis do not help. The stress we put on ourselves doesn’t help either. Hell, typing this on my PHONE will probably give me cancer! We as a people have conditioned ourselves to live with these conditions, and yet we’re surprised when the overexposure kills us. We may have a chance if we revert back to a more primitive way of life, but even that doesn’t eliminate the stress factor.

  449. Technically, distilled water is neutral (neutral ph = 7.0). Its ph can become slightly acidic (5.6 to 7.0) as it absorbs carbon dioxide from the air. Adding a small amount of baking SODA (a substance with a ph of 8.0) can help bring the water back to neutral.

    Drinking distilled water is much better for you than drinking water as the process of making it (turning water into steam and letting it cool back into water) removes all of the minerals and poisons.

    Many people do not like the taste of distilled water as it has a ‘flat’ taste.

  517. Dear Premaseem,

    Normally I do not respond to articles like this, but since it got passed along through my friends circle (FB), I felt the need to at least point out one or 2 (major) errors (assumptions) in the above article.

    “12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines will become putrified and leads to more toxic buildup.”

    This is a myth and stems from a lack of basic knowledge of the human body. I would like to refer you to the following article which explains it better than I can:

    http://www.gnolls.org/1444/does-meat-rot-in-your-colon-no-what-does-beans-grains-and-vegetables/

    In short: we are build from the get go (call it factory setting) to digest meat and we do that very well…

    “11 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…”

    The other one that I have a hard time to accept is the alkaline vs acidic environment our body supposedly needs to be in. It’s neither and both. You see, our body is divided into different zones, each one in a specific Ph state it needs to be in.

    Read / see the following:
    https://chriskresser.com/the-ph-myth-part-1

    I do agree that Chemo, radiation and surgery are *not* the answers. But like with everything, follow the money to understand why these are promoted as the only solution to cancer.

    Also, yes, sugar feeds cancer and should be avoided at all costs, even when you are healthy. (at least try to keep it to a minimum).

    And yes, alot of people are short on essentials minerals, vitamins and (animal) fats, combined with a poisoned environment (stress!) and toxic food, sets them up perfectly for dis ease.

    Closing, I would like to point you to this interesting theory:

    Puts a whole new dimension to the cause of cancer….

    Good luck with your pursuit for healthy living : )

Reason being is because I highly doubt any of this information will help my 7 month old daughter who has Lymphoblastic Lymphoma. Although chemotherapy is not really something we want our baby to endure, I somehow doubt cutting off coffee, tea or chocolate, which shes never had, or switching to soy milk instead of breast milk is going to help her very much. I also doubt changing her diet to grains and nuts will do much either nor will cutting back on meats, being she doesn’t eat meat either. Maybe I’ll try and tell her to have a more positive spirit about developing cancer at 4 months old.. Oh wait, she probably won’t have a clue what a positive spirit is being she’s only 7 months old.

    I’m sure you posted this to try and help people who want a different alternative to traditional methods of curing cancer, but I don’t think people, regardless of age, who have a stage 4 cancer of any kind want to read this, much less a father of a 7 month old baby who has cancer.

  566. I’m so glad to see this coming from the medical industry at last!

    There are a few corrections however:
    1-Soy milk is genetically modified & highly processed in which, the outer 6 layers of the soybean (that our bodies need to process the soy) are stripped away. What is left is dramatically high in enzymes that elevate estrogen levels in all people. This has been a culprit in early onset puberty, feminine tendencies in boys & early onset menopause. Also, a contributor & even cause of cancers – breast, uterine, cervix, ovarian, etc.
    **Better alternatives are unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk. Both of which are non-gmo (genetically modified organism) & contain healthy fats from non-animal sources, which your body needs to build healthy cells, process fat & for cognitive growth in young brains.

    2-On the note of genetic modifications & sugar: whole grains are a deceptively not truly “healthy”. This is because our modern farming has now produced over 90% of our grains grown in this country as genetically modified, injected with pesticides/herbacides directly into the seed & therefore these are toxic to our systems. When our body is busy fighting & flushing out toxins it cannot combat cancer growth & it lowers our immune system.
    Also, the process in which our bodies metabolize grains, cause blood sugar/insulin spikes. This then creates more sugar in the body for the cancer cells to feed on. Thus, the very thing to avoid when fighting or preventing cancer.

    Dr. Charles Majors fought his own stage 4, terminal brain tumors, which had metastasized from bone marrow cancer. He used only the natural 5 essentials of health (mental health, spinal/nerve health, nutrition, fitness/oxygen intake & minimizing toxicity) to become now 3 1/2 years cancer free! His protocols and story are detailed in his book so everyone can use them!

There are a lot of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle choices that also influence whether or not cancer will occur. Also, I saw “cell walls” mentioned – animal cells don’t have cell walls! And distilled water is neither acidic nor basic, and there’s no harm in drinking fluids that are slightly acidic or basic. Our kidneys can easily compensate.

If you are not a a qualified researcher of physician, posting potentially erroneous or misleading information about a disease as serious as cancer not only can cause false hope for victims, but could steer patients who are in need of legitimate treatment away from appropriate and truly effective medical care.

  596. Good day. Could you please stop spreading half-truths about cancer? Look, some of what you say is sound advice for anyone, but it’s utter horseshite to attribute cancer – and the ability to defeat it – to “attitude.” I maintained a reasonably good outlook throughout my bout with breast cancer (yup, we men get that, too), my surgery and chemo. The attitude helped, but mostly to keep things in perspective. (I am disinclined to whine, for example.) That said, to say that attitude causes cancer or affects the outcome of treatment is a hideous insult to those of us who’ve had cancer and, far more seriously, those who are battling terminal variants of the disease. It’s over-the-top to suggest that someone whose cancer has spread and may now be at Stage IV is in that situation because of their “poor” attitude.

    Besides, while your list includes little nuggets of truth here and there, there are no links to original sources and Johns Hopkins itself has characterized the list as a “hoax.”

    By posting this tripe, you are insulting, misinforming and placing in danger the very people you claim to be helping.

Listen to your body’s rythms. Sleep when its time to sleep, including a micro nap in the afternoon. If you drink water, avoid bottled water in the warm weather. Use filtered water you have filtered yourself. The plastic bottles build up toxins in the heat and the bottled water is transported without refrigeration. I can’t stress this enough, avoid not only toxins in your environment, but toxic people as well. Don’t eat canned food, even though its cheaper. The cans are lined with that same toxic plastic. Fresh is best, simply prepared. But if not available, frozen is the way to go. Also, make your carbs count. Whole grains, nuts, legumes, and fruit. If you eat fish, use farm raised over wild caught, and don’t eat the skin. That’s where the toxins are. Eggs are high in protein, inexpensive, and easily digestable.

  731. Actually, most of this stuff isn’t very helpful as “tips”…

    1. Admittedly, everybody DOES have cancer cells, but they’re not the kind most people understand. Cancer cells actually mean “cells which have been genetically compromised” and may not even make an attempt to grow (or proliferate) and take over the body. These dormant cells are called “Benign” and are the cancer cells within all of us.

    2. Not all cancers will be taken care of by the immune system, no matter how strong it is. Scientists have formulated the “Ten hallmarks of Cancer” which are the ten which cancer cells must possess to overcome the body with cancer. Several of these are aimed at preventing programmed destruction (namely, evading growth suppressors, avoiding immune destruction, resisting cell death and sustaining proliferative signalling). If the cancer cell is genetically able to overcome these defences they will, regardless of how strong it is.

    3. To state that “When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies” is a grossly broad generalisation. Most people don’t understand that every cancer case is unique and its origins could be almost anything. Admittedly, some activities such as staying out in the Australian sun for 3 hours without protection and drinking radioactive water would be major factors in the formation of cancer cells, but on the other hand the smallest thing (such as a malfunction in the cell repair part of a cell, caused by nothing externally) can cause a cancer cell.

    4. As I said, although having a good diet may be “good”, it doesn’t guarantee any form of protection against cancer. For example, Oxygen gives you cancer – Can’t really stop breathing, though.

    5. Chemotherapies, destructive as they may seem, are actually the best medical defence we have against most cancers. There are cutting-edge chemotherapies though, which are being released sometime in the next 5 years or so, which can target certain receptors on the cancer cell wall, receptors that the cancer will die without. Of course, they also target the receptors on healthy cells, however the healthy ones have a similar “backup” receptor, which in this case the cancer cells have lost during their mutation into a tumor.

    (To elaborate, THIS ISN’T THE CASE IN ALL CANCER CASES!!! Like I said earlier, every cancer case is unique, however this presents one approach that can be used in certain cases which would be very effective.)

    6. Radiation therapy is bad, yes, but it only damages a specific area. Unless the entire organ is irradiated, the remaining healthy cells can reproduce and replace the cells lost in the radiotherapy.

    7. Although the whole thing about the risk of cancer cells mutating and spreading from chemotherapy and surgery, the benefits far outweigh the risks. No amount of dieting will be able to make as much a difference. Additionally, chemotherapies also involve multiple approaches to kill off cancer cells, so whenever the cancer cells mutate, there’ll always be a chemotherapy to kill it.

    8. Many of the nutrients Cancer cells need to multiply are the same as those needed for healthy cells to multiply, because guess what the cancer cells were originally? Yep, normal cells. So if you try to starve the cancer cells in your body, you’ll also be starving the healthy cells in your body (I guess now you can see why chemotherapies are so difficult)

    9. The enzymes used to break down meat can’t be used to break down cancer cells. Similarly, the Body’s Natural Killer cells (which, may I add, are super awesome in the way the kill cells) not only don’t help digest meat but also don’t help killing off cancer cells. The immune cells who are able to directly detect and destroy cancer cells are CD8+ T-cells, which were designed to detect malfunctioning host cells. NK cells (as we call them) only attack bacteria and dangerous organisms from /outside/ the body.

    10. That 15th point, with the whole “body, mind, spirit” thing? really? It’s a load of rubbish. No matter how many times one does Yoga a day, it won’t help the immune system against the daily onslaught of pathogens. Admittedly, stress does decrease the immune system’s effectiveness, however you have to be chronically stressed over a long period of time for it to have a big effect. And besides, how can you be “at peace” when you have a tumor?! Kinda asking too much there.

    11. Now the 16th point is total bull. Cancer cells depend on oxygen, just like healthy cells. The reason why surgeons have to be quick when dealing with cancers is that the tumors are exposed to the air and will end up high on oxygen and can grow even faster.

    In short, don’t trust this kinda stuff unless it’s peer-reviewed and has evidence to back it up. Legitimately useful things will have links at the bottom of the page (or within the article) which link to scientific journal articles to back it up. If it doesn’t, don’t believe a word of it until you see the hard evidence.

  767. Oh honey… you have no idea how the human body works.

    “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 will starved.”

    Wat? do you know what happens to mucus after you swallow it? do you even know what mucus is? mucus is just an exlir of proteins suspended in water. When it hits your stomach it’s digested into amino acids, just like other dietary protein sources. Mucus doesn’t float around in your blood feeding cancer.

    “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.”

    Your body’s PH is tightly regulated. Blood pH is set to right around 7.4. Excess hydrogen ions are excreted by the kidneys, and more carbon dioxide is blown off in the lungs when you take on extra acid. This could only possibley be relevent if your patient is in kidney failure.

    “12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines will become putrified and leads to more toxic buildup.”

    Your GI tract is a tube with two ends. What you don’t digest you poop out, unless you’ve a blockage along the line, which if you don’t get fixed, will kill you. Second, there is far more plant matter that you can’t digest that meat stuff you can’t. What do you think happens to all of that?

    “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 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”

    This is by far your biggest misconception. You don’t use plant enzymes. Enzymes are catalysts made of protein (and rarely RNA), and enzymes aren’t “alive”. When you eat plant enzymes, it hits your stomach, when the low pH denatures the enzymes, and then your digestion enzymes rips them into amino acids, which you absorb. The amino acids (exactly like the ones from meat) are then either deanimated and burned for energy, or integrated and reconstructed into your own cells proteins. At least you got that fruits and vegetables are healthy.

    Cancer cells feed on sugar because they don’t have oxygen. Sugar can be broken down to lactate through a process called glycolysis and then oxidized to lactate. Many kinds of cancers secrete paracrine substances to induce angiogenisis (new blood vessel growth), and once a tumor gets an oxygen rich blood supply, it’s growth takes off like a rocket.

    Cancer cells occur far more frequently than 6-10 times in your lifetime. They occur daily. usually your immune system wipes them out because they give off signals to your immune system that lets it know they’ve gone rogue.

    Please take an introductory human physiology class. You have some serious misconceptions on how the body works. I think it would help you understand exactly what cancer is… it’s not just a disease, it’s a collection of thousands of diseases, with one common trait. Control over the cell cycle has been lost, and the collection of cancer cells are dividing uncontrollably.

  771. It is very irresponsible to post medical advice full of half-truths that the lay-person (suffering from cancer or whose loved one is suffering from cancer) may discover and believe. There is a place for alternative and complimentary medicine, but do not suggest that the mainstays of cancer therapy (chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery) are bad choices for a cancer patient. These are people’s lives at stake, you may be taking away precious days, weeks, months of their lives when they believe your copy-paste article over their own trained experienced physicians.

  778. Thankyou so much for the information on Cancer . My husband has stage 4 liver cancer . He had been hurting to no end in his stomach and when he was taken back in March of this year by ambulance he was in so much pain. I stayed back to tell the family where he was and that evening he called and told me they were going to do an emergency surgery on his colon. They found he had cancer. So then the told him later they could reverse the folly bag and they did that 3 months later. Found he had more cancer and they removed it. Also they said it was in the liver. So instead of the chemo and radiation treatments that most people have they have him on chemo pills. His hands are hurting and feet hurt and burn. He has devibulator and pace maker on one side of his chest and a port on the other side. He is also diabetic. Has leg and back problems. Still trys to keep going. He does crochetting, and makes wind chimes when he feels up to it. The pills he takes along with his other med. he takes, colestral, blood pressure, diabetis med. . He takes his chemo med. 14 days and stops for seven. They told him that he had to take the med. because if he didn’t he would not live more than 3 months to 2 years. He is a great man. He tries not to think about the cancer and keeps going. No hair loss. LOL LOL LOL . So sorry I did not mean to overload this on you. Just wanted to let you know I read he article and was very pleased with it. Thanks again Mrs. A Hoffman.

Chemo has less than 2% cure if at that. Most of the time , Chemo will grow or spur on new cancer cells in the weaker parts of the body. Treating Cancer is over Billions of Dollars business. Why else do you think Obama and Congress passed Obamacare but to become a part of that business…in kick backs. Already , the White house is pressing GMO on the us, as well as demeaning Natural supplements which our bodies will now never get.

  912. Most of the information here is common knowledge to anyone who has done a little research. Unfortunately so much of the food we eat, the air we breathe, and the water we drink, are very harmful to our health.
    Some go so far as to say this is a conspiracy to reduce the population of the earth, who knows? I do know this; the largest banks in the world have created and now control some very important organizations. To mention a few, the Federal Reserve, the World Bank, the international Monterey fund, the AMA, the European Union and the African union. This is just to mention a few that these banks ultimately control. They would like to form the N.American union combining Canada, the U.S., and Mexico, having a common currency called “the Amero”.
    Of course there are other factors at work here too, like the fact that a very well known ex vice president who got gas fracking exempt from the clean water act by the EPA.
    The truth about cancer is here, it thrives in an acidic environment, the old time remedy is to take a small amount of baking soda in water to create an alkaline environment.
    The artificial sweeteners mentioned here, mostly created from aspartame, are known carcinogens. Aspartame was created from the byproduct of carpet manufacturing, recently they have changed the name so they can put it on labels and it won’t be recognized.
    There is a clinic in Texas run by Dr. Burzynski who has found a way to treat previously incurable cancer. He had a five year old boy come to him with a brain tumor the size of an orange, that kid is now twenty five years old and is a spokesperson for this doctor’s clinic.
    The FDA has had him in court numerous times to try and stop his unorthodox treatment because it threatens their multi-billion dollar chemo/radiation mill.
    It saddens me to think that some put treasure above human life. They will reap what they have sewn.

  915. Unfortunately, these cannot be taken with a grain of salt. These experts should have known earlier and it takes years to release findings like these is just laughable.

    Cancer cells are nothing more than cells that have grown abnormal, and become uncontrollable by the system. If the genetic blue print of the cells have not been subjected to external influences which result in distorted development or undergo mutation, the cells will live happily ever after.

    Many of these external stimuli are nothing more than triggers, and they cause adverse chemical reactions to the environment which the cells live in. The triggers cause the the alarm bells to be sounded and the cells respond accordingly by changing their growth behaviour.

    I don’t believe that milk is a source of nutrient in the form of mucus conducive for cancer cell growth. I believe distorted or modified milk products are bigger culprits. These include yoghurt, sour cream, cheese, etc, which have undergone reaction in conjunction with the presence of other growing organisms. These are likely accessories to the cancer causing process.

    Many people are prepared to spend many times more on mineral water or spring water, but never question the side effects of the minerals can have on the body and cell development. Researchers only concern about purified water and distiller water, but overlook the obvious.

    3) There is NO scientific proof, that chocolate and tea are bad for you.. although there are MANY studies, that show, they are beneficial to our bodies ( not proven WHY) It is the SUGAR, we put in them, that cause problems.

    4) Meat and animal fat are absolutely necessary for your body to function, as it should.
    The alternatives- plant fat and plant protein can be very difficult to digest, some of them can be even toxic, (especially in large quantities) for the human body…thus, puting a great strain on our digestive and immune systems

    5) Milk is a “super-drink” for our muscles, when recuperating from big stress… ( don’t drink water, but MILK after exercise ) (of course, this is not for lactose intolerant people)
    Look up the nutritional composition of milk … you will be amazed.

    6) Whatever you do, AVOID ( UN-fermented ) Soya… (VERY toxic to your body)… (studies even showed, that it could LOWER the sperm-count if used regularly)

    7) A large percentage of the world population is unknowingly ALLERGIC to GLUTEN… so, try avoiding WHEAT (flour, bread,…etc) for a week or three, and if you START to feel better, you are one of them
    Allergies are a sign of the immune system going haywire, destroying your own body.

    The gist of this viral email is that cancer therapies of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy do not work against the disease and people should instead choose a variety of dietary strategies.

    Traditional therapies, such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, work. The evidence is the millions of cancer survivors in the United States today who are alive because of these therapies. We recognize that treatments don’t work in every patient, or sometimes work for awhile and then stop working, and there are some cancers that are more difficult to cure than others. These problems are the focus of ongoing cancer research.

Please note that when juicing it is important to use organic fruits and veggies or you will be consuming concentrated amounts of pesticides. It is a good idea to stay as organic as possible and avoid GMO’s as well. I would also suggest avoiding soy, especially if breast cancer is involved or there is a family history. Much soy on the market is GMO and there has also been a link between soy and breast cancer. Other alternatives such as unsweetened rice, almond, or coconut milk could be substituted. If a little sweetness is desired occasionally stevia is a natural non sugar plant based sweetener comparable to the likes of nutrasweet without the chemicals. Consulting a Naturopathic Doctor would also be advisable if going the alternative path. There are herbs and other therapies that can be helpful. Be well.

  1023. This information is generally helpful, but NOT 100% accurate. (It’s ALMOST there, so keep up the good work!) Cancers use the same energy sources as normal cells. However, unlike normal cells, they thrive in an acidic, anaerobic environment. The guidelines above will place you in the correct direction, but ultimately you will want to migrate towards a 100% raw plant diet that does not include eggs, fish, and milk. You can get ALL of your essential proteins, carbs (starches/sugars), hydrocarbons (fats/oils), organic salts and vitamins with fruits, vegetables and raw nuts, eaten in acceptable ratios and combinations. [Items #11 and #14 are completely bogus and is harmful advice.]

What you eat has nothing to do with it. There may be some good advice here, but it’s chock full of pseudoscientific gibberish.

  1052. You really need to learn a bit more basic science before speaking scientific “facts” into a public forum. There is probably more error in this article than truth. Cancer is a multi-faceted disease that is practically impossible to perfectly prevent. You cannot “starve” cancer by cutting out sugar and meat. Human cells (including cancer) do not have a cell wall, they have a membrane made up mostly of lipids. There is no “protein covering” on cancer cells. Distilled water is not acidic, it is actually the definition of a neutral pH. If your body goes too far into an alkaline state you risk organ failure and death (acidity in your diet is not the enemy). Many fruits and vegetables are more acidic in their natural state than meats of any type. I understand your concern about cancer and eating right and exercising and living a healthy lifestyle, but please don’t spread loads of false information to innocent readers. There are a lot of good things you can do to try and stay healthy, but ultimately, even physically fit vegetarians who avoid sugar can still get cancer. That’s why it’s important to get regular check ups, live healthily and be proactive about your healthcare. Catch it early and avoid all of those nasty treatments that you despise. Leave the science up to the scientists, they’re not out to get you.

The peroxide is very diluted in the water (8oz water to 3 drops hydrogen peroxide). This is also good for your immune system.

  1083. hello there I am Tom, 3rd year med student and SURVIVOR of Hodgkins disease 2a for almost 1 year :)…

    Plain and simple alot of the information in this article is good advice and living a healthy lifestyle decreases RISK of developing not only cancer but various pathology and autoimmune disease. Eat well, exercise and maintain good health conscious will not only fight immunological warfare but in the long term serve to your health in the future and feel good.

    Since my recovery I have done just this and I can now say I am fit once again and even stronger than I was before. I also want to to make sure that you know that in alot of types of cancer… there is NOTHING at fault or previous lifestyle aspects that AT ALL lead to cancer developing… alot of cancers are absouletly the FAULT of the person and nothing he/she has done to cause the cancer. You cannot tell me that the poor children who suffer from various neoplasia are their fault… sometimes it JUST HAPPENS as it did to me and to most others as well.

    The main principle in this article and from a science point of view, as well as a personal… in that the ‘alternatve’… which is not even clearly marked in this article… can substitute chemotherapy. Wrong. When cancer has progressed to a marked stage in which diagnosis has confirmed with blood work/biopsy… chemotherapy and immunotherapy, as of modern time… is nessasary at that point of progression of cancer to help kill off those cells that are growing way too fast and out of control. It is of course always specific to each persons progression and type of cancer and that is why doctors are doing tests and seeing what treatments are required in the progression and type of ailment.

    You can reduce your risks and development of cancer by working out hard and eating right everyday! Live healthy stay positive and be happy, do not stress the small things and most importantly spread the happiness, joys and positivity to those around you and you will not only feel good today but as well as tomorrow and give that gift to those around you 🙂

    PS also leave a comment if you have a question about any specific point in this article… there are alot of points in this article that are just opnion and not fact. 🙂

  1091. After reading this article, I just had to say… WOW. There are so many wrong things in this article. I would love to see the statement from John’s Hopkins that states all of these things.

    1,2, and 3 are correct if simple explanations.

    4 and 5 have never been proven by scientific investigation. These statements also ignore that some genetic mutations have nothing to do with nutrition (ex. the RB1 gene).

    6 and 7 are simple, correct statements.

    8 is only true for certain cancers. Other cancers (liquid tumors) respond very well to multiple rounds of chemotherapy. This statement has a lot to do with size and vascularization of the tumor, and less to do with an inherent feature of the majority of cancers.

    9 and 10 are true, but not common. Some cancers are more prone to chemotherapy resistance than others, and surgical resection is often the only treatment needed for certain types of tumors.

    11 is so wrong, I’ll take it by pieces.
    (A) is true for all cells. Most of your cells use sugar as an energy source, your brain almost exclusively uses sugar. Most of the nutrients that you take in will be broken down to either fructose or glucose (simple sugars) before being utilized by the body. Also, all the data attempting to connect Aspartame to cancer is weak at best and often contradictory (Nutrasweet is saccharin which was proven not to be carcenogenic years ago). I can find no evidence connecting any process in salt production to cancer either.
    (B) Just makes no since. You just said that cancer feeds on sugar. Is it mucus or sugar? The mucus produced in the GI tract is stimulated by most foods as it is protective against the gastric acids used for digestion. This statement definitely needs some citation.
    (C) Most cancers do not occur inside the GI tract, so your diet wouldn’t affect the acidity around the cancer. There have also been no connection with growth hormones and adverse effects in humans (they even have to put that statement on Growth hormone free meat and milk).
    (D)Just going to address part of this one. Any active enzymes would be denatured by the environment in your gut, and would be too large to be absorbed even if they weren’t. That is why all enzyme based medications have to be enteric coated (if they are GI enzymes) or injected (if they need to be in the blood stream).
    (E) Coffee has both been proven to increase and significantly decrease cancer risk. No connection has been made directly to caffeine. True distilled water is nothing but water and is thus more neutral pH than most spring or filtered water.

    12 – This has never been proven by science using a method that warranted publishing in a respected medical journal. This is mostly touted by people selling colon cleanse products.

    13 – Most of the time cancer cells contain the same covering that your regular cells do. They did after all start off as a normal cell. If you are protein deficient you would also be lacking in the protein needed for normal function including production of enzymes (which are, themselves, a protein).

    14 – A study published in the Annals of Internal medication on vitamins was accompanied by an editorial signed by JOHNS HOPKINS researchers states “Most supplements do not prevent chronic disease or death, their use is not justified, and they should be avoided.” Also “What we’ve found time and again is that the supplements are not working…we don’t need to go on studying them forever.”

    15 – This would definitely not be a medical statement, so I am not going to address it.

    16 – Cancer cells are HUMAN CELLS and thus require oxygen to survive. If you get them so much oxygen that they die, it is also going to kill all of the other cells in your body as well.

    I would love for you to give citations to each of the statements (including one from John’s Hopkins) and prove me wrong.

    For those reading… Please don’t continue to share such nonsense.

The slash, poison and burn model of cancer therapy will someday be replaced with high dose Vitamin C therapy, but not until Big Pharma can figure out a way to make it profitable to them. In the meantime, you are what you eat. Eat organic. Eat clean. Eat local. Use your kitchen. Avoid processed foods. Your life depends on it.

Green tea is one of those things that would have to be consumed in moderation, along with some juices that also contain high levels of arsenic or fluoride (apple or grape). One that of course is not mentioned is vaccines. Research those a little and you will find that they are counterproductive to any efforts to live healthy. Good health to all. 🙂

  1124. I just finished reading your article from John’s Hopkins. Just so you know, this article nor any of the information was actually produced by anyone from John’s Hopkins and the information is largely inaccurate. If you’d like I’ve made corrections to numbers I felt were most misleading. Feel fee to share. Hopefully you find it beneficial (PS. I’ve spent the past two years working on a PhD in cancer metabolism at the University of Minnesota)
    1. Somewhat misleading. We do not all have cancer cells in our body. We have cells that, over time become dysfunctional, which may lead to cancerous change. Also, PET scans do not detect cell size. Cancer cells have the same physical limitations normal cells do. A tumor is a collection of cells. Cancer cells rapidly divide, they do not hypertrophy.
    2. I don’t even know where this came from and makes no sense if #1 is true… Very false
    3. I won’t argue, but it’s not entirely true.
    4. Simply false. Cancer does not simply occur d/t nutritional deficiency, no matter how it is caused. Very false!
    10. Wrong. Cancer cells do not mutate and become resistant to anything. However, not all cancer cells are the same just as not all normal cells are the same (even within the same organ) and can utilize different metabolic signaling pathways making them prone to some targets and resistant to others. That is why treatments are becoming more specific so not only will cancer cells be target without collateral damage, but will be more effective (however, you and I would prefer that not have to happen).
    11. Yes sugar is rapidly taken up in cancer cells, but sugar in and of itself does not cause cancer nor treat it. Cancer cells use proteins and fats to rapidly divide and sustain growth and can obtain those nutrients from other sources of carbohydrate besides sugar. In addition and the type of honey doesn’t matter… it’s sucrose (glucose and fructose) same as table sugar.
    11b. Nope
    11c. Nope
    11e. Nope. Caffeine does not cause cancer and green tea has as much caffeine as a cup of coffee. Both have antioxidants (different ones) that are beneficial in maintaining healthy cells.
    12. Nope. Meat is quite efficiently digested and anything not digested is excreted, it does not remain in the colon. Meat has been plagued with disease links d/t its high n-6 content, which can as you know increase inflammation, but that is most often associated with vasculature and not organ systems.
    13. Nope. Cancer cells are no different than healthy cells except how their machinery functions internally. Their membranes are made up of a phospholipid bilayer and are just as susceptible to natural defenses as healthy cells.
    14. Vitamin E does not induce apoptosis, it prevents it! If it caused apoptosis, that would mean taking Vitamin E would cause healthy cells to die… Vitamin E removes free radicals from the cells which, is why it is dangerous for people with cancer to take in more antioxidants: that is the antioxidants prevent build-up of toxins that would otherwise cause the cells to die and thus allows cancer to thrive. Antioxidants have been largely linked to greater cancerous change and lowered survival overall.
    16. Wrong. This and 11c I’m sure are referring to the well known “Warburg Effect.” However, this is often misrepresented and does not state cancer cells thrive in acidic or oxygen rich environments. The effect notes that cancer cells utilize glycolysis as the main source of energy and biomass production regardless of the presence of oxygen. That is, cancer cells ferment carbs which, is normally done when there is little oxygen available (i.e. exercise). Exercise is beneficial because it elicits cellular signaling mechanisms that trigger a cascade of mechanisms that induce longevity and protect against chronic disease, it has nothing to do with availability of oxygen.
    I hope this is insightful and interesting to you. I do not wish to come off arrogant or degrading. I just see a lot of misinformation especially when it comes to cancer and I want people to be well informed as I know you do as well.

    Of course it is important to eat and live healthy – any doctor will tell you that. However, eating cancer-fighting foods as a singular treatment will not save lives once cancer has already developed. Certain foods may provide additional support for your immune system, but they should not be considered effective treatments in and of themselves. I recommend the book Foods that Fight Cancer by Richard Beliveau as a great basic reference that gives a great overview of nutritional factors that may supplement regular treatment. It has been translated into dozens of languages, but here’s a link to the english version on Amazon: http://www.amazon.ca/Foods-That-Fight-Cancer-Preventing/dp/0771011350

You may also wish to balance the arguments to say what percentage of good cells need to be destroyed in order to at the same time destroy caner cells. Some people are willing sacrifice almost all their good cells to be destroyed in order for the cancer sells to die. This is a high price to pay, but its not for us to say.

One cannot simply AVOID cancer by doing these things, and where, if doctors have not proven it, does it state that cancer cells are within the body upon birth? How do you know this magical information that doctors haven’t figured out yet? If no doctor upon this earth can detect cancer cells in your body before a tumor has developed, then how is it that YOU are able to have gained this knowledge? A much more suiting title would be ‘Ways to start a healthier lifestyle’. There are many forms of cancer, not just one, and it is a mutating disease, which is why there has been no cure. You refer to a very prestigious medical school at the beginning of your post, but neglect to give us any link to this information if the school did provide it. I’m really not trying to be a debbie-downer, this is some EXCELLENT advice. Since you claim it is directly related to whether a loved on will survive cancer or die from it, I’d recommend you link some references.

  1195. Hi all please please do not share this if you care about people with cancer, the level of BS here is astounding. I don’t mean to be disrespectful in anyway but this kind of misinformation can kill people and as a scientist I get the urge to say something. Whilst it has a lot of correct information about chemotherapy side effects they are far better than developing cancer. A few really things about this article tho, 1) it states how your body fights cancer cells everyday, this is technically true but let me explain why. A cancer cell is a normal cell that does not die, in other words your bodies cells have a life cycle of approx 30 days, then they die to make way for new cells. However cancer is when this normal death cycle does not happen and the cell continues to replicate and make new copies of itself like a healthy cell but they do not die. So when your body “kills” cancer cells as this article states what it means is the cells are doing there normal job, dying after 30 days. 2) The article states cancer thrives in an acidic environment, whilst this is true again the article deliberately misleads people by saying you can adjust your bodies pH through eating differently, this again is half true. Your stomach acts as a normal buffer for your bodies pH, you cannot adjust the pH of your entire body via eating different foods as your stomach will act as a buffer which prevents the pH change spreading throughout the body, ironically this is actually to ensure your bodies own cells do not end up in a pH that could kill them so that line of the article is complete bullshit. Another pile of rubbish is this line of the article “Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines will become putrified and leads to more toxic buildup”. It is again half true, meat is difficult to digest but in the sense it takes longer, not the body cannot break it down. It does not leave toxic products either, thanks to evolution the human body is well equipped to break down foods that have been a part of human diets for the last few era’s, the only exception would be if your were intolerant to a food. The next line is “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.”, this is just complete bullshit on so many levels i do not even know where to start, cell death does not occur by “enzymes” and the use of vague terminology here shows the author has little to no clue as to what happens. Cell death occurs by “apoptosis”, which is the programmed cell death I was talking about earlier, as i said earlier cancer occurs when “apoptosis” doesn’t occur, i.e. the cell doesn’t suicide. If it was an enzyme problem then cancer would be easy to solve, cell won’t die inject enzymes needed etc .
    i could go on all day about this article but the main thing I’m getting across here is be very careful what you read, god forbid if you ever got cancer ignore shit like this and take your doctors advice. All the current medical information out there has been tested, peer reviewed and retested. What has been proven to work has been done so with a proven track record and the stuff that has been shown as bullshit ends up on websites like this peddling misinformation. This sort of stuff usually pops up on websites run by non scientists who claim that the rest of us work for “big pharma” and are all secretly hiding the cure for cancer to sell everyone pills.

Earlier this year, doctors found a 5cm tumor growing in her colon. A homeopathic nut self-proclaimed “doctor” convinced her to follow an even more stringent all vegetable diet with some other wacky supplements, telling her this would shrink her tumor. It did the exact opposite and would’ve killed her had we not intervened. Surgery and chemo is the only thing that saved her life. Your diet cannot prevent or cure cancer. It can certainly help, but nothing will prevent cancer.

  1216. FALSE

    [This lie] has become such a problem that the National Cancer Institute, American Cancer Society, and individual cancer centers like the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center have posted warnings on their Web sites. Emails offering easy remedies for avoiding and curing cancer are the latest Web-influenced trend. To gain credibility, the anonymous authors falsely attribute their work to respected research institutions like Johns Hopkins. This is the case with the so-called “Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins.”

    The gist of this viral email is that cancer therapies of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy do not work against the disease and people should instead choose a variety of dietary strategies.

    Traditional therapies, such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, work. The evidence is the millions of cancer survivors in the United States today who are alive because of these therapies. We recognize that treatments don’t work in every patient, or sometimes work for awhile and then stop working, and there are some cancers that are more difficult to cure than others. These problems are the focus of ongoing cancer research.

I’m detecting a bit of nutrition-as-cancer-cure undertones here and just feel obligated to post because if you are diagnosed, your best bet for coming through alive is chemotherapy/radiation as recommended by the doctors whose job it is to keep you alive, in tandem with proper nutrition. Keep in mind as well that outside eating organic food, supplements are actually a poor way of getting the nutrients you need. They are completely unregulated in the United States and can have widely varying true doses and completely ineffective/indigestible ingredients with little consequence.

  1249. I am gonna have to call BS on this article… that is rife with misinformation and false information. Whoever wrote that doesn’t have a real firm grasp on human physiology… and probably just pieced that together with little bits of popular media twisted stuff pulled from the internet without really knowing what they were talking about.

    Prevention is definitely the best medicine. Maintaining a sensible, healthy diet and getting plenty of exercise and you’ll definitely minimize changes of getting cancer, but it is by no means a cure. Nutritional deficiencies will not cause cancer. Poor diet may contribute to your risk factors… but still will not cause it (unless you happen to be eating paint chips and nuclear waste… or glowing green goo down in a sewer, heh). You can’t affect the growth of cancer by altering your diet, and you can’t starve it to death. Eating less meat or sugar won’t affect the growth of your cancer at all. Also, I don’t know where they got the idea that meat will putrefy if you eat too much. Meats are super easy to break down, especially compared to most plants we eat.

    Cancer is not something that the immune system can deal with itself… otherwise we’d have no issues. We would just tell patients to eat a healthy diet and get some rest. Problem solved, right? Cancer is an accumulation of mutations or alterations to our own genetic code, for a variety of different reasons (which are compounded by smoking, drug/alcohol abuse, etc)… which makes it very difficult for own immune system to fight. This is also whey there is no “cure.” Each mutation is gonna be random and different for every single person.

    Oncologists are very highly trained, and most take a very minimalist approach to therapy that can cause “collateral damage.” Chemotherapy and radiation are both very selective, and are generally very effective, and won’t cause the damage that the article claims. There are some short term side effects, but these are almost all transient.

    This article implies that Docs have no idea what they’re doing and are haphazardly radiating and poisoning people just cuz. Doing even a few minutes of actual research on any of the claims in the article and you’ll realize that the author was just making stuff up.

In many previous incarnations the institution was referred to as John Hopkins.) There are some valid points in this message, however distorted. Vegetarian diets are associated with better health and probably not just because people who eat vegetarian diets also tend to avoid other things that impair health such as tobacco, alcohol and recreational drugs, and also tend to adopt healthier lifestyles such as exercising, meditating and living lives of less stress. But vegans get cancer too and some carnivores live a long time and remain relatively fit until they die. Taken as a whole this piece is mostly in error.

It will still habe the same pH as the source water. Sometimes mineral or spring water can be better because they contain minerals that the body needs, but filtering or purifying do not remove all contamitates. Only distilling water can acomplish that. In fact, water distilation is being used in desert areas to remove sea salt and contaminates for a reliable source of drinking water.

Cancerous cells are our own cells which have been reprogrammed to multiply out of control, therefore they are our cells and therefore animal cells and do not have cell walls. Animal cells have cell membranes without cell walls. 2) We produce all the enzymes which digest the food which we eat. Any enzymes already present in food is deactivated and destroyed by the very acidic pH of the stomach. The stomach produces enzymes which begin digestion of proteins. Once in the small intestine enzymes secreted from the pancreas, gall bladder and intestinal walls completes digestion as it moves along the small intestine to the large intestine and ultimately all undigested matter is defecated, it does not remain in the body and becomes putrid that’s point 3. If you or someone you know have cancer see and listen to a doctor.

    Facts: Both heart diesease and cancer are affected by the amount of HDLs you have in your body. More HDLs, the lower your likelihood of cancer or heart diesease. (the only known ways to raise HDLs are exersize, a single glass of red wine daily, and certian statins) There are so many studies now that prove this, to argue it just shows ignorance.

    Second, most cancers are a form of melanoma. A melanoma is a condition where a part of an organ over produces what ever it is supposed to produce. examples: a mole produces too much melatinin, a para-thyroid gland that produces too much PTH, and so on. The melanoma is usually present from birth, and will never go away. The groth of a melanoma is determined by the bodies lymphatic health. But, most of what was listed above is health nut mumbo jumbo. Especially when it recommended supplements. The body often ignores supplements completely.

    Another key point, green tea. While studies have found that green tea has some medical benifits, it has also been shown to have an equal number of detriments. Grean tea slowly errodes a persons nueral system, especially when consumed regularly. Ever notice that older people who drink lots of green tea have the shakes. It also erodes away at your mental facilties (which are just nural clusters). Along with aluminum, it is suspected as being a partial cause to dieseases like alzhiemers. Next, while it is suspected that the anti-oxidents in green tea lower the risk of cancer, long term studies don’t suggest this. In fact, long term tea drinkers seem to be more susptible to some cancers, and while less to others. If fact a recent study of religions that ban green tea showed a significantly lower rate of neuralogical dieseases, and even reduced rates of cancers like breast cancer. Although, the later is suspected to be due to lack of other food items like coffee.

    Long and short, before you write such an article, do your research as opposed to posting popular health nut mumbo jumbo.

  1373. A few good points, the reality though is that the author is a computer engineer with little knowledge of Cancer and it’s effective treatments. Some quick facts, cancer cells are your cells that have gone through to many replications or cell divisions. These divisions are needed to repaire damage to the cell caused by life style factors. Every cell division causes a small mutation in the DNA. After to many mutations the cell becomes ineffective and natural cell death occurs. Cancer is a mutated cell that refuses to die due to a malfunction in its normal DNA death clock. A strong immune system makes no difference to a cancer cell because your asking the immune system to attack yourself.

    The comment that a cancer cell has a tough protein outer layer is compleatly made up. All cells, cancer cells included have a bi lipid membrane aka Fat that contains protein receptors. Its is also false to think enzymes outside of the digestive tract somehow digest cancer, if that actually happened the body would be digesting its self.

    Yes reducing a acid forming diet will help reduce the chances of cancer, but but only because it reduces initial cellular damage. But like all things it’s a balance, it is possible to be to alkaline too. It’s best to maintain a slightly acid or alkaline level. Men typically are acidic and Wemon alkaline, during relations the sexes nutrlise the ph level.

    Glucose is the form of sugar that travels in your bloodstream to fuel the mitochondrial furnaces responsible for your brain power. Glucose is the only fuel normally used by brain cells. Because neurons cannot store glucose, they depend on the bloodstream to deliver a constant supply of this precious fuel. You get this from grains, legumes, dairy products, and sugar – though refined sugar is not an ideal source it is none the less a source.

  1432. A rather ballsy claim by Johns Hopkins (or the article’s author). Perhaps they shouldn’t burn their research grants just yet. They didn’t just imply that one can avoid cancer, they stated it. They also state that one can effectively battle cancer by starving cancer cells of substances they thrive on (sugar, meat, milk and caffeine). They didn’t even mention hormone-dependent cancers. This article is dangerous. There are readers who will believe they don’t need to seek the advice of a qualified oncologist when they find a lump or when their G.P. recommends diagnostic testing. I have a friend with invasive ductile carcinoma. This friend never ingests sugar, milk, red meat or caffeine. Never did since she was a child. She eats organic and from her own garden, exercises, uses no make-up, nail polish or hair dyes. I think it’s commendable to inspire everyone to adopt a healthy lifestyle, but not to hark that it will “effectively battle cancer” and is an alternative to surgery and chemotherapy.

  1435. Thanks for sharing this important piece of how cancer cells survive in our body system and how we can destroy them or deprive them of their foods which will regulate and minimise their movements. Eating the right foods as prescribed in the above information pack, taking the right types of diet supplements will help to provide a better health system in order to fight these cancer cells. A weak body, mind and soul will not be in a positive state of mind to win the war against these millions of cancer cells. The most effective treatment for any form of body cancers will be administrating the elimination of heat or in simple medical term, the use of radio therapy and chemotherapy for a standard treatment program on a strict compliance, .as these modern treatment could only be applied to our body, once for a long period of time. The side effects will depend on the age factor and health condition of the patient and whether he or she is mentally and physically prepared to be administered without any use of any form of anesthetiser or G.A. so that the procedure applied will reduce the pain and discomfort of the patients concerned. In most cases, and depending on the individuals cancers could be cured, though it may not be possible to gauge the survival rate and the rest is best to leave it to the mercy of God.

    Unfortunately, @ 70 ++ years, I have to undergo this horrified treatment as I have been lately diagnosed as having nasopharyngeal carcinoma T1 N1 MO (nose cancer) stage II. Well, as I am living on bonos years, I have no regret in going through these treatment procedures currently being arranged by my love ones. I pray that Almighty God will have mercy on me and let me go through this life barrier, without much hussle and pains. I hope that my normally excellent good health will be restored in order that I may live a longer expectancy of my life in my twilight years. Ameen.

If so, please post the link that people can use to locate this information. Nutrition and emotional health are not the best or only way of beating cancer. They are part of the answer. Cancer is being treated with a wholistic aproach. Not only do they work on beating the cancer, but they also work on the person’s overall nutrition and their state of mind. For you to suggest that radiation and chemotherapy is the wrong approach is absolutely absurd. It again is part of the solution. Do I think that there are better solutions out there? Absolutely. Do I think that there is a cure for cancer right now? Absolutely. I don’t think that there is enough money to be made from the cure to justify the funding for the research needed to test the drug or drugs. Medicine is big business.

As an example, look at number 16 “cancer cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment”, this is completely bogus. Most tumors participate in process called angiogenesis, which causes the body to grow blood vessels to the tumor. This process allows the tumor to receive the massive amounts of oxygen, nutrients, and water necessary for rapid cellular growth. In turn the tumor creates massive amounts of waste, which is acidic. This does not mean that cancer grows in an acid environment. Just like healthy cells, cancer thrives at the same pH as the rest of your body.

Wheat and grains produce greater insulin spikes than table sugar and there are also sugar and starches in wheat and grains, which break down into glucose (sugar). If you want more info on the impact of grains in your diet, I’d recommend three books: 1) It Starts with Food, 2) Wheat Belly, 3) Grain Brain.

    Meat is also not the demon. Industrialized, hormone-laden, corn-fed beef and meat is terrible, but you can responsibly source your meat from farmers with humane and health practices, like grass feeding their animals and pasturing their chickens. Access to this food is readily available online as well as at grocery stores like Whole Foods. Of course, I’m not advocating that meat be the primary food source in your diet. It needs to be offset with large quantities of vegetables so that you don’t make your body too acidic. The balance between the two is essential and most people just don’t “get” this. Grains do much more harm to your body than meat ever will.

Generally people should be prepared to have a change of mind settings for wrongs are always done secretly. And the wages of such hidden wrongs are affliction chastisements. Pure, Simple and Final.

  1552. Hello Premaseem,
    I like your site, and the content reflects a very bright and uplifting philosophy. I believe that all of the 16 items listed (especially #15) are good health advice. I also believe in the virtue of Ahimsa, but we cannot discount reality – and it became apparent to me as I read through the list that it could not possibly have originated from Johns Hopkins, so I checked. A good list, but, not from Johns Hopkins – http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/kimmel_cancer_center/news_events/featured/cancer_update_email_it_is_a_hoax.html
    thanks

Have any links, footnotes? Or are we to take this on faith that you’re not borrowing this from somewhat else who also vaguely implies this is from Johns Hopkins (something or other) appears you’re merely repeating a bogus urban legend. http://www.snopes.com/medical/disease/cancerupdate.asp

This is a hoax, full of dangerous misinformation – e.g. everyone has cancer cells (wrong), surgery spreads cancer (nope), a strong immune system will block cancer (very wrong), and you can “starve” cancer by avoiding certain foods (monstrously wrong) – and most definitely NOT endorsed by Johns Hopkins. This misinformation could kill a cancer patient.

  1561. It’s true that milk produces mucus and is mostly bad for an adult homosapien considering it’s designed to nurture the growth of a cow. Soya on the other hand also has tremendously adverse affects on health, especially women’s health. Ninety-four percent of soy products in the U.S. are genetically modified which means they are “Round-up Ready” and can be flooded with pesticides. Soy causes hormone imbalances which lead to infertility, erectile dysfunction, miscarriages and more! It and most of the wheat produced on the planet are owned by Monsanto. I won’t start to rant about these guys, but it’s a science-fiction tale that will have you questioning your government and what’s on your plate. Meat is acidic. Live plants and veg should take up fifty-one percent of your diet for your body to be able to properly digest the other forty-nine percent. Our cultural tendencies are easing us away from a healthy, happy existence. Do your homework!
    Remember, stress is hugely detrimental to your health. Eating well is a brilliant way to live, but cheating once in a blue moon won’t give you cancer although the guilt and worry about it all could. Relax and love!

Sugar and milk should be eliminated and distilled water is not acidic in fact it is the purest form of water. While small amounts of protein are ok a diet of 80% organic plant based foods will provide and accurately synergize vitamins and minerals.

    kel, my daughter in law has since finding out about me looked into studies and you know there is a lot to be said for going as raw as possible along with juices. It actually tastes surprisingly tasty.
    I would like to encourage us all to not give up, its not easy to change.
    Keep giving it a go.
    There’s nothing like fresh juice, (made from organic vegetables) which by the way, get a good juicer.
    I’ve back slid but I am coming to realize that I just am going to keep my options open and I’m starting to think it might be quite good to try it again.
    Steam if you cook vegetables just 2-4 mins and apparently when you chop/or crush garlic in its skin then leave for 15 mins before using in your cooking.
    I was thinking that if you don’t really enjoy cooking/ haven’t much time then raw could be an option and healthy too!

  1586. It upsets me so much when people write about things that they clearly know nothing about in a way that convinces other people that they are right. It’s irresponsible at best and downright dangerous at worst. This blog doesn’t show where ANY of this info comes (because it is completely made up and not backed up by any kind of science). Beware these articles!!!! Only trust things from a reputable source (NHS, NIH, WHO and proper scientific institutes ) not from someone with their own opinions. Don’t ever trust any “scientific” claim you read anywhere (including the newspapers) unless there is a reference or a link to the actual scientific report that this info came from. Otherwise it is wrong, fraud, sensationalism or just an advert from someone wanting to sell you their homemade anti-cancer tablets. That may sound harsh but it is true.

    There are so many things that are just plain wrong in this blog. I see cancer cells everyday that grow happily in low oxygen conditions. Sorry, this is just plain wrong. Cancer cells can grow without food (a process called autophagy where the cell kind of eats itself to stay alive) so this is also wrong. I don’t even have time to go into all the atrocious “science” written in this blog because I have to go take care of my experiments.

    The only points I agree with in this blog are points 6 and 7. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are great at what they do. De-bulking the tumour mass prevents the cells from squashing other organs that are vital to your survival. Green tea and vitamins just won’t do this. Ever. But these types of therapies are known by everyone to cause side-effects that are less than desirable. So this is why there are billions of pounds, dollars, euros etc being ploughed into research institutes (like mine –The Institute Of Cancer Research http://www.icr.ac.uk/) to find targeted therapies. These exploit the things that are different about tumour cells and only work on those specific cells. And it’s working well.

    I would also advocate a balanced diet, exercise and being a loving and forgiving spirit to reduce your risk of diabetes, heart disease and SOME cancers. But not for the reasons expressed here. Having a happy, healthy life is so important. Don’t waste your energy worrying about these ridiculous claims and bulk buying green tea.

What you say about cancer cells in our bodies and the harmful effects of cancer therapies is of course true – no doctor denies it and patients are generally told the truth if they are able to listen – but your claims about sugar, acid and oxygen, as well as stress and cancer, are perfect examples of true scientific findings and theories which have been misinterpreted and thus exploited by quacks for decades. It is needless to explain more – to find out for yourselves, see anaximperator.wordpress.com for example, or Mayo Clinic’s pages about alternative and complemetary therapies.

I studied food science briefly at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the professors (who have much more knowledge when it comes to food science than you do) agreed that it is safe to consume. The sugar industry would love to find out that artificial sweeteners are dangerous, but they aren’t. All the supposed ‘dangers’ of aspartame are anecdotal. It’s incredibly unprofessional and suspicious that you do not cite one study while you present this information as fact. Please edit your article with links to peer-reviewed studies to back up your claims.

Absolutely excellent article….these 16 points summarize everything about cancer prevention that everyone should know….the only additions I can think of are to recommend the daily intake of human grade diatomaceous earth to create the alkaline state…I personally take 1/2 tsp per day and quickly changed from a condition of acidosis to alkaline as witnessed by my St. Christopher silver medallion hanging from my neck which was always black and had to be cleaned with silver polish every month….shortly after starting DE my medal changed to a bright silver and has not been polished for three years…also, controlling inflammation via strong anti-oxidants….inflammation has been targeted as the source of many terrible diseases, diabetes, heart disease and cancer…the oxidative process which goes on in our body every second of every day creates free radicals which can contribute to cellular dysplasia…I use IP-6, inositol hexophosphate which has shown via clinical studies to reduce or stop cancer cell division and growth…the best source of information for this is a book called “Too Good to Be True?” by Dr. Kim Vanderlinden, a naturopathic physician who has devoted his life to finding a natural way to fight cancer. It is a real eye opener and should be essential reading for anyone…Of course I am a little concerned about our age of technology with cell phones and tablets and laptops with us 24 hours a day it seems…all that electromagnetic radiation floating around can’t be good…we already know young men’s sperm counts are down and there sure seems to be a lot of young men that are prematurely bald…can’t remember this when I was in high school or university many years ago…my bald spot is completely due to my two grandfathers and age!

  1619. Sorry, to a large extent these recommendations are incoherent. Consider that it says to eat grains. They are high in carbohydrate–they add to blood sugar immediately. It says eat 80% vegetarian diet and reduce meat. It is difficult to control blood sugar on a vegan diet. It says eat manuka honey–why not starve the body completely of sugar.

    Thomas Seyfried recommends fasting followed by a ketogenic diet (in which most calories come from fat–not processed vegetable oils or transfats). Protein may indeed feed cancers to, but as this post says, sugars are the main culprit. The only thing is grains, starches, table sugar, honey, maple syrup, starchy or sweet vegagtables and most fruit also contribute to blood sugar and ultimately feed cancer.

    So, in order to succeed to stop cancer growth better find out the alternative ways which is more convenience but still effective to reverse all the 5 pathways. Changes in lifestyle, food intake, etc all to establish the alkaline blood pH>7,6 where the cancer cell will stop to growing. Also may apply energy medicine which is capable to reverse the 5 pathways above.

    I happen to regularly “deacidify” myself with the following mixture. I know people who do it everyday, for years now and enjoy excellent health.

    It MUST be consumed on an EMPTY STOMACH and then a minimum of 20-30 minutes after drinking, you are not allowed to consume anything.

    250 ml of warm water (min.50+ Celsius)
    freshly squeezed juice of 1 lemon
    1 tablespoon of apple vinegar
    1/2 tablespoon of baking soda
    1/2 tablespoon of glucose

    AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY AND ELIMINATE CANCER, SEEMS LIKE THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY …

    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.
