is there a naturopath in your area? I would make an appointment and go talk to one. I am not against conventional medicine- I take plenty, But, please read the following article
AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY
(TRY THE KEY WORD) AND ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHN HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING
TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY \

Cancer Update from John 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,
gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver,
kidneys, heart, lungs etc.

7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.

8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do
not result in more tumor destruction.

9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and
radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the
person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.

10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and
become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer
cells to spread to other sites.

11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells
by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.



CANCER CELLS FEED ON:



a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder.



By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the
cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like Nutrasweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are
made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be
Manuka honey or molasses but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a
chemical added to make it white in 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 soya milk
cancer cells are being starved.



c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment.



A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little
chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics,
growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people
with cancer.



d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains,
seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline
environment .



About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable
juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to
cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy
cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh
vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts)
and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are
destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).



e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine.



Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting
properties. Water- best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known
toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.



12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and



requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in
the intestines become putrified and leads to more toxic build-up.



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, Floressence,
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 microwave.



2. No water bottles in freezer.



3. No plastic wrap in microwave.



Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This
information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well.
Dioxin chemicals causes cancer, especially breast cancer. Dioxins are
highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies.



Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this
releases dioxins from the plastic. Recently, Dr. Edward Fujimoto, Wellness
Program Manager at Castle Hospital was on a TV program to explain this
health hazard .



He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we
should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers.
This especially applies to foods that contain fat.



He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics
releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body.



Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or
ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, only
without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups,
etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else.
Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to
use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He reminded us that a while ago some
of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper.
The dioxin problem is one of the reasons.



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



This is an article that should be sent to anyone important in your
life.

Answer 2

Better to see a doctor. Soon. One doesn't get a lot of time to make a decision here, and the sooner conventional treatment starts, the better chance of a remission.

Answer 3

Leukemia is not a single disease, there are several subtypes. The treatment depends on what subtype you have. Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) for example, can be indolent for years before it causes any problems. Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML) can be very aggresive and rapidly fatal without appropriate intervention.

You need to see a hematologist or an oncologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

Naturopathic treatments have never been shown to have any effect in the treatment of any types of cancer, ever.

There is no specific diet for the treatment of leukemias.
