WHAT CANCER CELLS FEED ON

1.) Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting out processed sugar it cuts off one important food supply to cancerous cells. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, and Spoonful are made with Aspartame which is very harmful to the body.

2.) Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting out milk, cancer cells are being starved.

3.) Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is very acidic. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites which are all harmful.

4.) Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines leads to more toxic buildup.

5.) Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from eating meat, it frees more enzymes to attack the protein wall of cancer cells.

6.) Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate which are high in caffeine. Drinking water is best when purified or filtered to avoid toxins and heavy metals commonly found in tap water.

7.) Do not use plastic containers or plastic wrap in microwaves. This especially applies to foods that contain fat. The combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body.

8.) Do not freeze your plastic bottles with water, as this also releases dioxin chemicals from the plastic.

9.) A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juices, whole grains, nuts and seeds help bring the body back into an alkaline environment.

10.) Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach the cellular level within 15 minutes, to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells, drink fresh vegetable juices and eat raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. (Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures above 104 degrees Fahrenheit.)

11.) Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help a cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, unforgiveness 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.

12.) 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.
