LATEST CANCER INFORMATION

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

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.

Green Tea Secrets from Asia

Jo Ann LeQuang is a professional writer specializing in medical topics and a Christ-follower who blogs at AWretchLike.Me.

Green tea has been enjoyed in Asia for over 5,000 years, and Asian physicians, philosophers, and scientists have claimed that this beverage provides astounding health benefits. Green tea is associated with everything from longevity to curing cancer, from weight loss to increased physical endurance. But is it true? Right now, in the west more and more people are discovering green tea and scientists here are trying to determine if the “green tea secrets” from the Orient are fact or fiction. First, we have to establish the differences among teas. There is black tea (the most commonly drunk tea in the United States), white tea, green tea, Oolong tea, and fragrant teas (such as jasmine tea and other “Chinese restaurant teas”). All teas come from the tree known as Camellia Senesis. The differences between teas come from when they are picked (white tea is picked sooner than black tea) and how the tea leaves are processed after picking (black tea is exposed to the most oxygen). Green tea is steamed after picking and not exposed to much oxygen, resulting in a mild flavor and pale-colored tea. These distinctions may seem trivial, but the health benefits of tea have been shown to vary depending on the type of tea.

To get the health benefits of green tea, you have to buy “green” tea—not regular tea (which is black) or white, Oolong, jasmine, or herbal teas. Second, you cannot drink green tea with milk. The casein protein in milk inhibits the benefits of green tea.

Plus, it tastes funny. And you cannot get these health benefits from drinking green tea beverages sweetened with sugar or artificial sweeteners. These drinks may taste good, but they are trying to cash in on the green tea label without delivering the real health benefits. So far, scientific studies have demonstrated that there are a lot of health benefits from regularly drinking green tea.

· Green tea really does lower the risk of developing heart disease. Asians, as a rule, smoke more than Americans and have less heart disease. Green tea has been proposed as the possible reason why.

· Green tea is loaded with antioxidants and vitamins. One small cup of green teas has as much vitamin C as an orange! Antioxidants help with anti-aging. This may be one Asian secret for youthful-looking skin!

· Science in the West has found that drinking green tea promotes relaxation and is a good stress-buster. No wonder some Japanese corporations serve green tea to their hard-working employees!

· Green tea has been shown to promote healthy gums.

· Green tea does indeed boost T-cell production which means it enhances your body’s natural immune system. Regularly drinking green tea allows your body to be in top shape to fight off infections, colds, and whatever else is “going around.”

Green Tea and Weight Loss

Green tea has been promoted as a weight loss aid. That’s both true and false. Simply drinking five or six small cups of green tea daily will not make you thin. So if that’s your green tea diet, it won’t work. However, green tea is a definite weight-loss aid. It is packed with polyphenols and has caffeine (do not buy decaf if you want weight loss benefits). Polyphenols and caffeine together stimulate the body’s ability get rid of fat. In fact, five or six small cups of green tea daily (figure about 30 ounces total, taken over the course of the day) can boost the metabolic rate by 4%. So it aids in weight loss. If you want the real “Asian secret” to green tea weight loss, here are some tips:

· Drink five to six small cups (about 5 ounces) of green tea daily throughout the day. Do not add milk, do not add sugar or artificial sweetener. Green tea is a bit of an acquired taste, but if you stick with it, you will soon find it very refreshing.

· Substitute green tea when you can for higher-calorie beverages, including coffee drinks (which can contain more calories than a meal) and sodas.

· Green tea cannot help you lose weight unless you eat less, watch what you eat, and exercise more. If you are on a sensible diet and exercise plan, green tea can help you lose weight.

· Drink green tea throughout the day as a snack or pick-me-up.

· After eating a meal, cap it off with a small cup of green tea to help settle the stomach and promote good digestion.

Green Tea May Also Prevent…

There is a great deal of research going on regarding green tea. In some cases—as often occurs with early research—results are unclear. Here is where we are still exploring what green tea may (or may not) be able to do for us.

Green tea just might be able to:

· Prevent dental cavities

· Reduce the risk of developing kidney stones

· Lower cholesterol

· Improve insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance (for helping to control blood sugar in people with Type II diabetes)

· Enhance brain function in people with Parkinson’s Disease or Alzheimer’s Disease

· Prevent glaucoma and other eye diseases.

Tea’s health benefits look promising

By Katherine Tallmadge
The washington Post

A tea timeout is my favorite way to de-stress. It feels so civilized to relax with a warm cup of jasmine-scented green tea or perhaps the traditional English treat, black tea with milk — white, as they say. Still, with all the myths we hear about nutrition, I’ve always wondered, is tea as healthful as many people believe?


Although tea has been enjoyed around the world for some 5,000 years, it wasn’t until relatively recently that scientists started searching for the facts.

From the 1970s to the 1990s, epidemiological studies — the kind following large populations’ eating and disease patterns — found that drinking tea might be associated with better health. No clear cause-and-effect relationship between health and tea was established, though.

“More careful clinical and laboratory studies are needed,” said Johanna Dwyer, a professor at Tufts Medical School in Boston, at the fifth International Scientific Symposium on Tea and Human Health, held Sept. 19 at the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Recent studies have been promising. What did they find? Just about every cell in the body could potentially benefit from tea, with virtually no downsides.

All true tea (white, green, oolong and black, as opposed to herbal varieties) comes from one plant: Camellia sinensis. The differences are in how they are processed, with white and green being the least processed, oolong in the middle and black the most processed. The processing changes the nutritional profile and some of the health effects. No matter the process, all tea leaves are dense with flavonoids, health-promoting chemicals found in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and most plants.

“About one-third of the weight of a tea leaf is flavonoids, which is high, especially when you consider there are virtually no calories,” said Jeffrey Blumberg, professor of nutrition science and policy at Tufts University and chairman of the tea symposium. “A serving of tea is like adding a serving of fruits or vegetables to your diet.”

Can tea produce more health benefits than fruits or vegetables? Flavonoid research results are exciting but mixed.

There are “small but possibly significant health effects, but study quality needs to improve. … The variety, geography, processing and brewing of tea must be considered since it will dramatically change flavonoid content and possibly associated health benefits,” Dwyer said. “Tea is not a drug, and to expect a druglike effect is unrealistic.”

The exciting news about tea includes:

It helps your heart by keeping blood vessels unclogged and flexible. Blood pressure and stroke risk were reduced in epidemiological and clinical studies (even with sugar added).

In one study in which hypertensive men drank one cup of black tea daily, both systolic and diastolic blood pressures fell. The blood-pressure-lowering effect was maintained even after a large intake of fatty, sugary food, which usually constricts blood vessels, showing that “cardiovascular protection can be achieved even without much sacrifice and with normal intakes,” said Claudio Ferri, a professor at Italy’s University of L’Aquila School of Internal Medicine and co-author of the study.

Healthier blood vessels create better blood flow, which means all of your organs, including the brain, receive more blood, oxygen and nutrients, enhancing your body’s ability to fight disease.

It improves bone health. After drinking four to six cups of green tea daily for six months, post-menopausal women with low bone mass (osteopenia) achieved an improvement in certain short-term measures of bone health in a National Institutes of Health-funded study conducted at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. They also improved muscular strength. Tea reduced oxidative stress and inflammation, preventing the usual bone and muscle breakdown.

It can help your thinking. When your brain receives better blood flow and oxygen, and inflammation and oxidative stress decline, cognitive function improves, according to studies. In fact, a 25 percent reduction in impairments of activities of daily living was found when adults drank three to four cups of tea daily.

It might reduce cancer risk. Many animal and test-tube studies have found anti-cancer effects of tea, but human studies have been less consistent. “In lab studies, compounds in tea show a lot of cancer-fighting promise. Many act as antioxidants, slow tumor growth and even increase cancer cell death,” said Alice Bender of the American Institute for Cancer Research.

It can help you lose weight. Not only does tea have fewer calories than most beverages (zero without milk and sugar), but certain compounds in tea, and especially green tea, burn body fat.

Tea can help you de-stress. An amino acid called L-theanine, in combination with caffeine, might reduce stress. Studies have shown this combination, which occurs naturally in tea, reduces cortisol, the stress hormone, and improves mental alertness.

It’s tea time

“Tea catechins are stable in dry tea leaves but diminish as brewed tea is held/stored. To make sure you are consuming the tea phytonutrients (flavonoids) that may promote health, brew tea fresh,” nutritionist Beverly Clevidence of the USDA’s Agricultural Research Service said in an email. To maintain the healthful nutrients, keep tea leaves in an airtight container away from light and heat.

Many people believe tea dehydrates the body. But the National Academy of Sciences has refuted that, saying tea and coffee are as hydrating as water.

Some avoid tea because of its effect on iron absorption, but the effect is small. If you have iron-deficiency anemia, drink tea be- tween meals to minimize inter- ference, and eat your iron-contain- ing foods with vitamin C-contain- ing foods to maximize absorption.

Milk (or any protein, for that matter) might bind with and prevent absorption of some flavonoids but could enhance absorption of others. Studies have been too limited to determine the extent of the effect.

Drink tea throughout the day to keep the flavonoids in your system and get maximum benefit — various studies have suggested between one and six cups a day — and don’t forget a balanced diet.

Stick with the tea you enjoy most, whether white, green, oolong or black. All impart health benefits, and the studies are not detailed or numerous enough to choose one over another.

Be wary of bottled ready-to-drink teas or products containing tea extracts or supplements, as there is no way of knowing their flavonoid content, if any.

Process and nutritional content of Green Tea

The process of green tea is very special. Once harvested, the tea leaf experience the fogging process, this process will dry the tea leaves, but this process will not change the color of the leaves. This process was proven to maintain a variety of nutritional content in it, among other substances important to this leaf is antioxidant polyphenols.

The nutritional content of the green tea as below:

1. Antioxidant and polyphenol
Japanese scientists believed that antioxidant and polyphenol found in green tea very beneficial for human health. Antioxidant could reduce the risk of heart disease, to slow down or kill the tumor, prevent the growth of the lung cell cancer, intestine cancer, and particularly skin cancer. Besides these substances green tea could help to smooth the process of digesting food through the stimulation of peristalsis and the production of digestive fluids.

2. Fluoride
Fluoride classified as a mineral which can prevent the growth of caries in teeth, prevent gingivitis, and dental cavities.

3. Manganese
Manganese which found in green tea is good in helping to convert sugar into energy and to help maintain the stability of blood sugar levels.

4. Caffeine
The rate of caffeine contained in green tea is different from caffeine which is contained in coffee. The percentage caffeine in green tea about 3-5%. So if we used to take green tea consistently, our body and mind will feel more refreshed. It is also known as good digestion in your body and will burn fat more efficiently.
The benefit for the people who are undergoing on diet, this process may help to reduce weight more effectively and quickly if consume tea during the empty stomach.

5. Tannin
The latest research on green tea shows that the content of the symbiotic tannin in green tea could prevent and treated the kidney disorders. While the tea leaves are still wet it can be used to treated insect bites, sunburn, or as a refresher for tired eyes.

Green Tea and Weight Loss

As I promise in last blog, this time I would like to share about one and most important benefit of green tea - that is weight loss.

Green Tea

Nowadays everybody talking about antioxidant and free radical, free radical an element which destroying in body cells and it will cause an aging. The effective agents to stop free radical are foods or supplements which contain an antioxidant. One of the best antioxidant is the green tea. Why the green tea is good? Most people understand that Green Tea or green tea supplements are good for our body, but very few people really understand why it is good and they probably won’t have an answers. Indeed, in China tradition green tea is known long time ago during great wall age. and now the green tea has proven scientifically.

What are the benefits of green tea?. There are numerous benefits from consumption (regular consumption) of the substance. Currently, the scientific researched has revealed the following benefit:

- reduction in heart disease.
- increase in metabolic rate/ fat oxidization.
- prevention of the death of brain cells – meaning less chance of Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s diseases.
- lower incidence of cancers.
- Protects against premature ageing
- Promotes better complexion
- Strengthens immune function
- Reduces stress and improves energy
- Encourages healthier blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar levels
- Encourages healthier intestinal flora which improves nutrient absorption
- Improves oral health (controls dental decay, plaque build-up and bad breath)
- reduction in bad cholesterol and to assists in weight loss (promotes thermogenesis and metabolism of fat)

In the next post we will reveal more about green tea and how its help human being in their life.

Skin Problem?

If your have a skin problems, either swelling or itching and don't know what to do. Why don't you try to use green tea to solve it. For your information green tea is a natural antiseptic relief, inflammation and itching of the skin.

You can also try green tea to recover acne, sunburn, swollen eyelids and even if it had been crying or lack of sleep and swollen eyes, try this - dipping the green tea bag in the water, grab the bag and hold it in the desired range. The test lab shows that green tea was helping the skin from harmful of UV rays, where trigger the development of skin cancer. You can consume the green tea or rub it directly on the skin in the form of moisturizers or lotions.
