How Is Your Health

Eating 2-3 servings of fruits and vegetables a day provides better health!

Your health is important to you and your family. It is also important to me because a healthy family makes a healthier society.

With a plethora of information available today, there is no excuse for your poor health; unless you have so little respect for the body your Creator gave you to take care of it.

If you are a parent, you have the responsibility to teach your children how to be healthy. In return, they will teach their children. Of course, if you are a grandparent and you have permission from the parents, you can support grandchildren’s healthy choices.

A New Report to Fight Cancer

Many of us have lost our loved ones to cancer. It is a brutal disease not just to the patient that is fighting the disease, but to the friends and family members that are affected by it.

This article is a must read article not to reverse the cancer disease but to also prevent it from entering into a compromising health risk.

I hope to ease the pain and suffering of anyone that is going through chemotherapy by posting this must read article. Perhaps it may save a life.

Message from Johns Hopkins University Medical School

John Hopkins Update – Good article 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 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, 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 is a cancer-feeder.   By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells.   Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful.  A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses, but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in color. Better alternative is Bragg’s aminos or sea salt. b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting withunsweetened 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 chicken rather than  beef  or  pork.  Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites,  which are all harmful,  especially to people with cancer. d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment.  About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C). e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer fighting properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it. 12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines 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 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, 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. 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. Comments written by Terrance W. Norton

Health Awareness Reports

Report by Terrance Norton

Imagine what it will be like for everyone to have access to wellness products. Wouldn’t it offer a personal sense of well being?

It is of great concern that, in today’s distribution of food, our food is tampered with by harmful additives: such as MSG and growth hormons. In my opinion, the FDA is not up to properly regulating the standard of good health. We can’t just blame the FDA for the low quality of food either. Part of the problem is there are too many people on the earth now, so more demands are placed on distributors to get the food to grocery stores.

Another problem is many of the distrubution centers are getting goods harvested and sent to the destinations too early. For example, the last stages of fruit growth is the most crucial because that’s when the fruit has enough time to ripen all the way. Most of the nourishment is in the ripening stage. One could rationalize and say that growers need to pick early so the goods won’t spoil, but that does’t adequately satisfy my family’s needs for nourishing vegetation when it’s picked before it is time?

Some fruits, such as raspberries and blueberries with the higher amount of antioxidants, will need to have a longer growth cycles before it’s maturity has been met. According to the 2004 Journal of Food Composition and Analysis and the 2004 Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry, the highest level of antioxidant is based on a O.R.A.C. Score (Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity). The buzz now is about the Acai Berry. It has the highest antioxidant score, with an ORAC score of 1,027 while in it’s freeze dried condition. Fresh Acai Berry has a ORAC Score of 185.

The purpose of an antioxidant is to get rid of the free radicals in our bodies. The free radicals are introduced to the body through the environment. We are affected by air quality contaminates such as hair sprays, shampoos, car emissions, etc. Other contaminates the body absorbs are from the chemicals and preservatives in our food. (*There are also other contaminates introduced to the body through various mediums that are not covered in this article.)

The ORAC Scores of the various fresh or raw fruits are listed below:

According to the Brunswick Laboratories the OCAC Score is different in dried fruit and vegetables: 

 

Acai Berry (Fresh)				185
Cranberry				95
Artichoke				94
Plums (Black)				73
Plums				62
Blueberry (Cultivated)				62
Blackberry				53
Raspberry				49
Apple Red (with peel)				43
Peas (black eye)				43
Apple Granny Smith				39
Strawberry				36
Cherries (Sweet)				34
Apple Red (no peel)				29
Apple Gala				28

According to the Brunswick Laboratories the OCAC Score is different in dried fruit and vegetables:

Acai Berry				1,027
Wild Raspberry				340
Wild Blueberry				260
Elderberry				240
Wolfberry				220
Red Raspberry				210
Green Pepper				160
Spinach				150
