An Eagle's Kiss ... Thx Sarah R!

An eagle's kiss

This is the kind of story you need when it seems like the world is spiraling out of control…..

Not many people get a picture of this proud bird
snuggled up next to them!

Freedom and Jeff
Freedom and I have been together 11 years this summer.
She came in as a baby in 1998 with two broken wings.
Her left wing doesn't open all the way even after surgery,
it was broken in 4 places.
She's my baby.

When Freedom came in she could not stand
and both wings were broken. She was
emaciated and covered in lice. We made the
decision to give her a chance at life, so I took
her to the vet's office. From then
on, I was always around her. We had her in a
huge dog carrier with the top off, and it
was loaded up with shredded newspaper for her to
lay in. I used to sit and talk to her,
urging her to live, to fight; and she would lay
there looking at me with those big brown eyes.
We also had to tube feed her for weeks.

This went on for 4-6 weeks, and by then she still
couldn't stand. It got to the point where the
decision was made to euthanize her
if she couldn't stand in a week. You know you don't
want to cross that line between torture and
rehab, and it looked like death was
winning. She was going to be put
down that Friday, and I was supposed to come in
on that Thursday afternoon. I didn't want to go
to the center that Thursday, because I couldn't
bear the thought of her being euthanized;
but I went anyway, and when I walked in everyone
was grinning from ear to ear. I went
immediately back to her cage; and there she was,
standing on her own, a big beautiful
eagle. She was ready to live. I was
just about in tears by then. That
was a very good day. 

We knew she could never fly, so the director
asked me to glove train her.
I got her used to the glove,
and then to jesses, and we started
doing education programs for schools
in western Washington ..
We wound up in the newspapers,
radio (believe it or not) and some
TV. Miracle Pets even did a show
about us.
 

In the spring of 2000, I was diagnosed with
non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. I had stage 3,
which is not good (one major organ plus
everywhere), so I wound up doing 8 months of
chemo. Lost the hair - the whole
bit. I missed a lot of work. When I
felt good enough, I would go to Sarvey
and take Freedom out for walks. Freedom would
also come to me in my dreams and help me fight
the cancer. This happened time and time again. 

The day after Thanksgiving,
I went in for my last checkup.
I was told that if the cancer was not
all gone after 8 rounds of chemo, then my last
option was a stem cell transplant. Anyway, they
did the tests; and I had to come back Monday for
the results. I went in Monday, and I was
told that all the cancer was gone.
 

So the first thing I did was get up to Sarvey and
take the big girl out for a walk. It was misty
and cold. I went to her flight and jessed her
up, and we went out front to the top of the
hill. I hadn't said a word to
Freedom, but somehow she knew. She looked at me
and wrapped both
her wings around me to where I
could feel them pressing in on my back.
(I was engulfed in eagle wings), and she
touched my nose with her beak and stared into my
eyes, and we just stood there like that
for I don't know how long. That was a
magic moment. We have been soul mates ever
since she came in. This is a very special bird.
 

On a side note: I have had people who
were sick come up to us when we are out, and
Freedom has some kind of hold on
them. I once had a guy who was
terminal come up to us and
I let him hold her.
His knees just about buckled and he
swore he could feel her power course through his
body. I have so many stories like that..
 

I never forget the honor I have of being so close
to such a magnificent spirit as
Freedom.

Hope you enjoyed this!

Cancer and diet ... Thx Nana 1 & Marge R!

Can You Really Prevent Cancer? 

• By Diana Rodriguez | Medically reviewed by Lindsey Marcellin, MD, MPH 

You can reduce your risk of many types of cancer if you adopt a healthy lifestyle and take a few other precautions. 

Don't Miss This

When Fear Is the Symptom

Will 2015 Bring Us a Breast Cancer Vaccine?

We all want to live long lives without the threat of disease, especially cancer. But is cancer prevention possible? Actually, many different types of cancer, particularly some with the poorest prognoses, can be prevented — or at least the risk reduced — with simple lifestyle changes and precautions to keep your body healthy and protected from cancer. And stay on top of cancer information, as studies are published on a regular basis.

Cancer Prevention: Get Healthy

Bad habits are called bad habits for a reason — they can lead to serious health problems, like cancer. Here are some healthy lifestyle changes you should make to help prevent cancer:

• Wear sunscreen every day. Skin cancer can turn into a bad prognosis quickly, but can easily be prevented with good skin care. That means protecting your skin from the sun by limiting exposure (staying in the shade, wearing long pants and long shirts) and by applying sunscreen every day, not just at the beach.
• Quit smoking. Lung cancer is the most fatal type of cancer, and many lung cancer cases are caused by smoking. Quitting smoking can also reduce your risk of developing stomach, cervical, pancreatic, larynx, throat, mouth, esophageal, and bladder cancers. If you reduce your exposure to secondhand smoke, you'll also reduce your cancer risk.
• Stick to moderate alcohol consumption. Excess alcohol consumption can increase the risk of developing cancers of the throat, mouth, and larynx, as well as breast, liver, and colon cancer. To help prevent cancer, it's best to enjoy alcohol only in small amounts on occasion; avoid drinking too much or too frequently.
• Watch your diet. To help reduce your cancer risk, load up on plenty of plant-based foods, with at least five servings each day of fruits and vegetables. Opt for whole-grain foods — breads, pastas, and cereals — and limit red meat. Processed lunch meat, hot dogs, and the like should also be restricted for cancer prevention.
• Maintain a healthy body weight. Obesity is linked to a number of different types of cancer, including breast, colorectal, endometrial, and prostate cancer. To keep your weight at a healthy level, follow the diet tips above and get plenty of regular exercise. 

Cancer Prevention: Get Vaccinated, Get Screened

There isn't a vaccination for most types of cancer, but there is one to help prevent cervical cancer. The human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine (Gardasil) protects against HPV, which can cause cervical cancer. Young women and girls may want to consider getting the HPV vaccine to help reduce their cervical cancer risk.

About Clinical Trials

LearnAboutClinicalTrials.org

Find basic information about

cancer clinical trial participation

Cancer screening can help you spot cancer early, preventing it from progressing to the later stages, when prognosis is poor. Routine screening tests available for detecting cancer include:

• Mammograms for breast cancer
• Colonoscopies for colon cancer at age 50 for most people — earlier if there is a family history, or if you have inflammatory bowel disease
• Pap test for cervical cancer beginning within three years of first sexual activity or at age 21, whichever is sooner 

If you are at very high risk for certain types of cancer, like prostate, ovarian, lung, and skin cancer, there are some screening tests that your doctor may recommend. There is currently some disagreement among medical professionals about the value of annual prostate cancer screening as well as when mammograms should be started; you should check with your own doctor for recommendations that take into account family history and other personal factors.

A healthy lifestyle and the right cancer screenings can help reduce your risk for many types of cancer. Remember these simple steps for better health and cancer prevention.

Improptu Mormon Tabernacle Choir for young brain cancer patient in TN ... Thx Ramey H!

 

Emotional Impromptu Concert Inbox x ramey hoskins Jun 11 (1 day ago) to    Had to share this... good people do exist even if they don't make the front page of the news. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir was on tour in Memphis , Tennessee.  At St. Jude's Children’s Hospital there was a little girl who had been admitted with an aggressive form of brain cancer.  Her chemo treatments prohibited her from being in crowds and so, with great disappointment, she learned she could not attend the Mormon Choir's final Memphis concert.  But, a hospital nurse sent a request that perhaps a few of the choir members could meet the young girl at the hotel she and her family were staying.  She knew this would raise the little girl's spirits.  When the girl and her family walked into their hotel lobby click below to see what happened.

Johns Hopkins updates on cancer treatments ... Thx Nita E!

Johns Hopkins Update This is an extremely good article. Everyone should read it. AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY ('TRY', BEING THE KEY WORD) TO ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHNS HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY .. Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins: 1. Every person has cancer cells in the body.. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size. 2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime. 3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors. 4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, but also to environmental, food and lifestyle factors. 5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet to eat more adequately and healthy, 4-5 times/day  and by including supplements will strengthen the immune system. 6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract etc., and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc. 7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs. 8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction. 9.. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications. 10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites. 11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply. *CANCER CELLS FEED ON: a. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc. are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses, but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in color Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt. b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus.. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk cancer cells are being starved. c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little other meat,  like chicken. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer. d.. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).. e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer fighting properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it. 12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines becomes putrefied and leads to more toxic buildup.  13.. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells. 14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the bodies own killer cells to destroy cancer cells.. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body'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, un-forgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life. 16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells. 1. No plastic containers in micro. 2. No water bottles in freezer. 3. No plastic wrap in microwave.. Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well. Dioxin chemicals cause cancer, especially breast cancer. Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic. Recently, Dr Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital , was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers. This especially applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body. Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, only without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else. Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper The dioxin problem is one of the reasons. Please share this with your whole email list......................... Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food.. Cover food with a paper towel instead. This is an article that should be sent to anyone important in your life... 0.0.01.1186028981LPhvxJoOjv4h0R:001152c1 E:403865

 

 

Asparagus and cancer ... Thx Nana and Marge R!

DO NOT FAIL TO READ ....Info about Cancer

 

 

Subject: Fwd: Fw: ASPARAGUS:: DO NOT FAIL TO READ THIS AND SEND A friend sent me this so I know nothing about it but hey, it's asparagus so

it can't hurt.

F.Y.I. - I received this from a very reliable person - thought you might be

interested.

Asparagus

When I was in the USN I was stationed in Key West, FL. I worked at the

clinic at Naval Air Station on Big Coppitt Key just a few mile north of Key

West. The hospital at Key West was for out patient only for retired armed forces personnel that lived in the area. If you needed to be hospitalized you were sent to Homestead AFB Florida.

I had the day off and just went inside the hospital (Corpman barracks were next to hospital). There was a retired navy man that worked in the lab and he was very interesting gentleman to talk with. He was a retired biochemist from the USN. he asked me what was going on that day and I said I had the day off. I wish I was working as the crew on today was taking a sailor to Homestead as he had a very bad kidney infection.

Now this elderly gent told me the man should have eaten more asparagus and he wouldn't have that problem. I asked why? I'll never forget him saying do you eat asparagus and I said yes, I love them. He replied you notice how your urine stinks after eating asparagus? I said well I never thought it was what I ate but yes it does have a pungent odor. It is because it is detoxifying your body of harmful chemicals!!!

This was back in 1986 when I was stationed there and to read this email again I had to share this story...Eat more asparagus my friends.

Asparagus -- Who knew?

My Mom had been taking the full-stalk canned style

asparagus, pureed it and took 4 tablespoons in

the morning and 4 tablespoons later in the day. She did

this for over a month. She is on chemo pills for Stage 3

lung cancer in the pleural area and her cancer cell

count went from 386 down to 125 as of this past week.

Her oncologist said she will not need to see him for 3

months.

THE ARTICLE:

Several years ago I met a man seeking asparagus for a

friend who had cancer. He gave me a copy of an article,

entitled "Asparagus For Cancer" printed in the  Cancer News Journal,

December 1979. I will share it

here, just as it was shared with me: I am a

biochemist, and have specialized in the relation of diet

to health or over 50 years. Sev eral years ago, I learned

of the discovery of Richard R. Vensal, D.D.S. that

asparagus might cure cancer. Since then, I have worked

with him on his project. We have accumulated a number

of favorable case histories. Here are a few examples:

Case No. 1, A man with an almost hopeless case

of Hodgkin's disease (cancer of the lymph glands) who

was completely incapacitated. Within 1 year of starting

the asparagus therapy, his doctors were unable to

detect any signs of cancer, and he was back on a

schedule of strenuous exercise

Case No. 2, A successful businessman, 68 years old,

suffered from cancer of the bladder for 16 years.

After years of medical treatments, including radiation

without improvement, he began taking asparagus. Within

3 months, examinations revealed that his bladder tumor

had disappeared and that his kidneys were normal.

Case No. 3, On March 5th 1971, a man who had lung

cancer was put on the operating table where they found

lung cancer so widely spread that it was inoperable.

The surgeon sewed him up and declared his case

hopeless. On April 5th he heard about the Asparagus

therapy and immediately started taking it. By August,

x-ray pictures revealed that all signs of the cancer had

disappeared. He is now back at his regular business

routine.

Case No. 4, A woman had been troubled for a number of

years with skin cancer. She developed different skin cancers

which were diagnosed by the acting specialist as advanced. Within

3 months after beginning asparagus therapy, the skin specialist

said her skin looked fine with no more skin lesions. This woman

reported that the asparagus therapy also cured her kidney disease,

which had started in 1949. She had over 10 operations for kidney stones,

and was receiving government disability payments for an inoperable,

terminal, kidney condition. She attributes the cure of this kidney

trouble

entirely to the asparagus treatment.

I was not surprised at this result as `The elements of

materia medica', edited in1854 by a Professor at the

University of Pennsylvania , stated that asparagus was

used as a popular remedy for kidney stones. He even

referred to experiments, in 1739, on the power of

asparagus in dissolving stones. Note the dates!

We would have other case histories but the medical

establishment has interfered with our obtaining some

of the records. I am therefore appealing to readers to

spread this good news and help us to gather a large

number of case histories that will overwhelm the

medical skeptics about this unbelievably simple and

natural remedy.

For the treatment, asparagus should be cooked

before using. Fresh or canned asparagus can be

used. I have corresponded with the two leading canners

of asparagus, Giant and Stokely, and I am satisfied that

these brands contain no pesticides or preservatives.

Place the cooked asparagus in a blender and liquefy to  make a puree. Store in the refrigerator. Give the patient

4 full tablespoons twice daily, morning and evening.

Patients usually show some improvement in 2-4 weeks.

It can be diluted with water and used as a cold or hot drink.

This suggested dosage is based on present experience,

but certainly larger amounts can do no harm and may be

needed in some cases.

 As a biochemist I am convinced of the old saying that `what

cures can prevent.' Based on this theory, my wife and I have

been using asparagus puree as a beverage with our meals. We

take 2 tablespoons diluted in water to suit our taste with breakfast

and with dinner. I take mine hot and my wife prefers hers cold. For

years we have made it a practice to have blood surveys taken as

part of our regular checkups. The last blood survey,

taken by a medical doctor who specializes in the

nutritional approach to health, showed substantial

improvements in all categories over the last one, and

we can attribute these improvements to nothing but

the asparagus drink. As a biochemist, I have made an

extensive study of all aspects of cancer, and all of the

proposed cures. As a result, I am convinced that

asparagus fits in better with the latest theories about cancer.

Asparagus contains a good supply of protein called

histones, which are believed to be active in controlling

cell growth. For that reason, I believe asparagus can

be said to contain a substance that I call cell growth

normalizer. That accounts for its action on cancer and

in acting as a general body tonic In any event,

regardless of theory, asparagus used as we suggest, is

a harmless substance. The FDA cannot prevent you

from using it and it may do you much good. It has

been reported by the US National Cancer Institute, that

asparagus is the highest tested food containing

glutathione, which is considered one of the body's

most potent anticarcinogens and antioxidants.

Just a side note... In case you are wondering why this has not been made public, there is no profit in curing cancer!

The most unselfish act one can ever do is paying forward

all the kindness one has received.

New definition of cancer ... Thx Jim K, my brother!

 This article in the New York Times, is interesting.  I'd never heard the term, "incidentalomas" before.

 

 

“We need a 21st-century definition of cancer instead of a 19th-century definition of cancer, which is what we’ve been using,” said Dr. Otis W. Brawley, the chief medical officer for the American Cancer Society, who was not directly involved in the report.

The impetus behind the call for change is a growing concern among doctors, scientists and patient advocates that hundreds of thousands of men and women are undergoing needless and sometimes disfiguring and harmful treatments for premalignant and cancerous lesions that are so slow growing they are unlikely to ever cause harm.

The advent of highly sensitive screening technology in recent years has increased the likelihood of finding these so-called incidentalomas — the name given to incidental findings detected during medical scans that most likely would never cause a problem. However, once doctors and patients are aware a lesion exists, they typically feel compelled to biopsy, treat and remove it, often at great physical and psychological pain and risk to the patient. The issue is often referred to as overdiagnosis, and the resulting unnecessary procedures to which patients are subjected are called overtreatment.

Cancer Prayer- Chemo- ... Thx Nita E!

I just prayed the words, Nita!  Our God is on contrpol and He has all of the power!

    Chemo Day

Some will say you will pray because it is a nice thing to say or it is politically correct. Then there are those of you who will get down on your knees and really do it. I'm sending this to some who will.

This prayer means so much so please say the prayer for everyone and pass it on.
Cancer is a strange cell.

You can go along for years in remission And then one day it pops its head up again. If you ever have it you will never be free of it. If you never had it, don't feel too cozy, you can get it. Pray for the day there will be a permanent cure.

Cancer update- Johns Hopkins- Thanks Clay Vice!

Johns Hopkins Update �

This is an extremely good article. Everyone should read it.





AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY ('TRY', BEING THE KEY WORD) TO ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHNS HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY.



Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins:



1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer

but also to environmental, food and lifestyle factors.



5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing

to various kinds of infections and complications.



10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to

mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy..

Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other

sites.



11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer

cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.



*CANCER CELLS FEED ON:



a. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made

with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute

would be Manuka honey or molasses, but only in very small

amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in

color Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.



b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the

gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting

off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk cancer

cells are being starved.



c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based

diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little other meat,

like chicken. Meat also contains livestock

antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all

harmful, especially to people with cancer.



d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole

grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into

an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked

food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live

enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to

cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance

growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building

healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most

vegetables including be an 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 becomes putrefied and leads to more toxic

buildup.



13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By

refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes

to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the

body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.



14. Some supplements build up the immune system

(IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals,

EFAs etc.) to enable the bodies own killer cells to destroy

cancer cells.. Other supplements like vitamin E are known

to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body'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, un-forgiveness and bitterness put

the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to

have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy

life.



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

Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well. Dioxin chemicals cause cancer, especially breast cancer. Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic. Recently, Dr Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital , was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers. This especially applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body. Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, only without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else. Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper The dioxin problem is one of the reasons.

Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead.
