THOUGHTS ABOUT CANCER
A personal friend of mine was recently diagnosed with cancer. Also, Glenna
and I just returned from a Starbucks date with two other couples. Two
of those other four people have had or now have cancer. Even more than
that, we discussed five other people who are common acquaintances who
have cancer. Isn't that alarming? According to an article in the newspaper
several months ago, cancer is now the leading cause of death in the USA.
I'm writing about this, and not ALS, because some of you reading this
may benefit from the information. Also, I have no great material about
ALS for this month.
The following information is based on what I have read and/or what I believe
from my observations. Remember, I am not a healthcare professional and
this is just my personal opinion based on accumulated information.
There are amazing similarities in cancer and ALS and also many other illnesses.
For example: ALS is caused by toxins and cancer is caused by toxins. Now
if you ask an MD what is the cause of cancer, he will more than likely
say that he doesn't know. I believe they do not want you to know. However,
there are certain substances that are known to cause cancer based on clinical
studies. They call these substances carcinogens. Interestingly, all known
carcinogens are toxins. My conclusion is that any and all toxins may cause
cancer and probably do, especially when so many are accumulated in our
bodies.
If toxins are the real cause of cancer, then what should one do to treat
it? First, you must remember that I cannot tell you what YOU should do
to treat any illness. However, I believe that I can tell you what I would
do. I would follow the same regimen to treat cancer that I did to treat
my ALS condition: primarily detoxify my body and avoid all toxins in my
environment.
What about chemo therapy that the medical doctors recommend? Well, based
on my lifetime of experience and observations of others, I would never
have chemo therapy. According to what I have read, chemo kills as many
as it cures, and I don't like those odds. I read an article just the other
day where the author had just interviewed a neurologist. The MD told the
author that even if he had a cancerous brain tumor, he would never have
chemo therapy. The author asked him if he still recommended chemo to his
patients. The doctor replied yes. The author asked why? The doctor replied
that if he did anything else, they would kick him out of the hospital
because that is THE only recommended treatment. Actually, for any doctor
to recommend any treatment other than chemo could cause him to lose his
medical license and/or be put in jail. Conclusion: We have doctors recommending
treatments that they would not have done on themselves. That is a sad
situation, but that is 100% true.
There is a Dr. Lorraine Day who developed breast cancer and the tumor
was as large as a grapefruit. She underwent surgery but then refused chemo
therapy. She then treated herself in her own way and primarily by diet
and she is now cancer-free. She has made a video tape that explains her
cancer experience and her treatment in detail. If I had cancer today,
one of the first things I would do is buy her video tape and follow her
program:
"CANCER DOESN'T SCARE ME ANYMORE" by Lorraine

Another thing I would do is visit Dr. David Williams' web site and order
his special report titled "THE TOTAL-BODY CANCER SHIELD." This is an eight
page report full of vital information for the cancer patient.
His web site is: www.drdavidwilliams.com
You might also consider subscribing to his monthly newsletter called "ALTERNATIVES."
Here is another idea about cancer. A Dr. Robert Barefoot, a medical scientist,
wrote a book about calcium. In his book, he talks about a doctor being
awarded a Nobel Prize for his discovery about cancer somehow being related
to lack of oxygen in the cells and the absence of calcium. This was around
1930 and should have led to a cure for cancer, but obviously did not.
Gee, I wonder why? At any rate, Dr. Barefoot believes that our bodies
require calcium more than any other mineral. However, simply taking more
calcium may not do it. Apparently, calcium works synergistically with
other minerals and vitamins and they must be included in your diet also.
The single most important vitamin is the sunshine vitamin D. He recommends
being out in the sun two hours a day. If you can't do that, then you might
consider taking vitamin D supplements. I recently read a comprehensive
article about vitamin D. The article indicated that vitamin D deficiency
is a significant contributor to 40% of all illness. The doctors tell you
to stay out of the sun, but in my opinion, they are dead wrong. If you
take a living houseplant and put it in a dark room, it will die due to
lack of sunshine. That should convince most people that sunshine or vitamin
D is a required vitamin. I now believe of all the vitamins that sunshine
or vitamin D is the single most important one. My conclusion is that if
I had any serious illness, such as cancer, I would take adequate amounts
of calcium, vitamin D, and of course many antioxidants and Co-Q10.
They say the sun causes cancer. I believe that is a big lie and here's
why. If the sun caused cancer, then all the African natives would be non-existent
along with the Aborigines, the Hawaiians, and many more. It simply is
not logical. Here is what I believe happens. Cancer is caused by toxins,
but it gets its start in dead, dying or sick body tissue or organs. If
you BURN your skin frequently from the sun, you will seriously damage
your skin. This damaged skin creates an environment for cancer to gain
a foothold. I also read about a study where one group of people was exposed
to the sun after they applied sunscreen lotion and another group used
no lotion. The SUNSCREEN group developed MORE CANCER. This tells me that
sunscreen may CAUSE cancer and not protect against it. I've also read
that more people develop skin cancer in the north than in the south. My
conclusion is that sunshine or vitamin D is necessary to AVOID CANCER,
and sunshine alone does not cause cancer.
Here is another idea from Dr. Barefoot. If you test your saliva or urine
for pH, you will be either alkaline, acidic, or in between. If you're
very acidic, you are probably already sick with a serious illness. If
you are high in alkaline, you are probably healthy. I read that CANCER
CANNOT SURVIVE IN AN ALKALINE pH. If you have or had cancer, your pH is
probably acidic. I have no idea if this is 100% true. However, I do know
from my own experience ,when I was very ill, my pH was very acidic, and
now that I'm healthier, my pH is alkaline. My conclusion about pH is this:
If I had cancer, and just to be on the safe side, I would be certain that
my pH was alkaline. It's very easy and inexpensive to do. If you want
details of how it is done, you might go to my web site, order my book
"Eric is Winning," and you will learn much more about how to balance your
pH.
Here is one final thought about cancer. The food that you eat has an enormous
amount to do with whether or not you develop cancer. We know that cancer
is related to reduced amounts of hydrochloric acid and digestive enzymes.
An abundance of fresh, raw and organic vegetables are good for you, but
more importantly, especially the cruciferous vegetables like cabbage.
Cruciferous veggies are cancer fighters and have anti-cancer benefits.
Now here is the kicker. When FERMENTED, veggies such as cabbage, create
even more anti-cancer benefits. Fermented food make lactic acid. The more
lactic acid, the less chance of cancer. Lactic acid does many things such
as it increases cell metabolism, but it also acts as a DETOXIFIER. Now,
that's what you really want is to eliminate toxins. Another great benefit
of fermented foods is that they are very beneficial for your entire digestive
system and that helps you DETOXIFY.
My conclusion is that I would eat fermented cabbage or other veggies two
or three times a week.
We hope some of this proves beneficial to some of our readers.
