Greetings!   :

Did you know?

 

--That only 50 percent of a Chicken McNugget is actually chicken? The other 50 percent includes corn derivatives, sugars, leavening agents and completely synthetic chemical ingredients (this includes yeast extract, which is MSG).

--That 200 exposures over a life time of direct use with yard pesticides, insecticides (bee sprays, termite treatments) increases your chances of Parkinson's Disease by 75%?

--That 75% of all cancers patients have very low levels of vitamin D?  (I personally take 5,000 IU's each day, plus lay out in the sun when the weather is good)

--That 5 out of 6 sunscreens actually have cancer-causing ingredients in them? (yep,  we are told by the so-called experts to keep rubbing that into our skin)

--That individuals with asthma are much more likely to need a pacemaker at some point in their lives?  For 2 reasons, the asthmatic medications can cause erratic heart palpiltations (and down-right heart attacks) and both conditions are most likely a magnesium deficiency?  For asthmatics or individuals with pacemakers generally need 400-800 mg of magnesium per day - muscle-testing can determine the specific amount that your body needs.

--That steaming your vegetables in tap water gives you a very high concentration of flouride in your foods?  That flouride causes cancer?  Steam your veggies in reverse osmosis water only (yep, even your coffee should be made with purified water) - Can you see why a regular detoxification program is important for everyone since it is hard to follow all of these guidelines?  In my own personal life, I pick the ones that are the easiest to follow and I make sure that I am diligent on my supplement program and consistent on my detoxification program (herbal and ionic footbaths).

--Anytime that you eat grilled chicken/meat, you should take a turmeric or curcumin supplement to counteract the carcinogenic effects of the grilled meat?

--That alcoholism can produce intense hypoglycemia which can lead to immediate brain death?  That hypoglycemia can  be cured by being on the proper supplement/detox program for your system?  12-step programs help about 21% of people, but 71% of alcoholics are helped by replacing missing nutrients that are common with alcoholism?

--There is a very popular nacho-type chip that starts with the letter "D" that has 5 ingredients that have been traced to brain cancer?  These less ingredients, the safer the chip.

--The "whiter the bread, the quicker you are dead!"  - buy bread that has a MINIMUM of 3 grams of fiber per slice. -

Sugar and cancer

Of the over 4 million cancer patients being treated in the U.S. today, almost none are offered any scientifically guided nutrition therapy other than being told to "just eat good foods."   Unfortunately, because in general, medical doctors don't even having nutritional schooling, therefore, nto even knowing how to guide their patients nutritionally.  The vast majority of the schooling for naturopathic doctors is nutritionally based.  Many cancer patients would have a major improvement in their conditions if they controlled the supply of cancer's preferred fuel: GLUCOSE.   By slowing the cancer's growth, patients make it possible for their immune systems to catch up to the disease.   Controlling one's blood-glucose levels through diet, exercise, supplements, and if all of that fails - medication - when necessary - can be one of the most crucial components to a cancer treatment program.   The saying "Sugar feeds cancer" is simple. The explanation is a little more involved.

 

German Otto Warburg, Ph.D., the 1931 Nobel laureate in medicine, first discovered that cancer cells have a fundamentally different energy metabolism compared to healthy cells.

 

The gist of his Nobel thesis was this: malignant tumors frequently exhibit an increase in "anaerobic glycolysis" - a process whereby glucose is used by cancer cells as a fuel with lactic acid as an anaerobic by-product - compared to normal tissues.

 

Sugar Effects Your Immune System

 

I have seen this in my own children -- when they are eating white bread (which turns to sugar in your system) or sugar itself, their immune system is definitely effected.  This is when they are most likely to catch the next bug that is coming around the bend.

 

I am not saying that I never eat sugar -- I personally attempt to keep my sugar less than 25 grams per day and you will see me eating pie on Thanksgiving.  What I am talking about here is that most Americans are eating at least their weight in sugar each year (a 150 pound average American person generally is eating about 150 pounds of sugar each year)  Remember, that manufacturers are calling sugar by many different names.  Safe alternatives to sugar are stevia extract and xylitol.
