Food is a medicine.
There is no arguing against that.
I have seen people who cure their diseases by switching to a Raw Vegan diet.
Many people make the mistake of thinking it is the FOOD that is the source of the healing.
In fact, there is more. It is the avoidance of toxins that are present in conventional foods (GMO, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Aspartame, etc etc.) PLUS the Higher Vibration of Energy that is present in pure, clean foods, along with the belief in their ability to cure, that is the cause of these 'miracles'.
We are at the dawning of a whole new time in Medicine.
That being said, we still have to use our ability to Discern the facts in what we read.
Here is the article, a friend posted to my Facebook page last night:
Here is the link to the original article: https://wausaunews.wordpress.com/2014/01/18/big-hospital-finally-telling-the-truth-about-cancer-johns-hopkins/
Here is what I 'sensed': a 'we hid the truth from you' VIBE that didn't sound academic at all.
Here is my response:
Sure G--food is a medicine.Furthermore, avoiding poisons in the diet and elsewhere is preventive medicine. Organic is expensive, but it saves health care dollars in your budget down the road. Energy and the mind are also highly important. The facts here presented in the article are basically true, but simplified in a biased way.
Here is the response from the director of a cancer center who is a personal friend of mine--that they posted ON my Facebook wall:
Just FYI for you. Its not that I do not agree with all that has been mentioned, but it is definitely not a scientific article from Johns Hopkins. Since they are flagrantly trying to lie about the source, I am not supportive of this article.
Here is the 'Snopes' article that the cancer surgeon references: http://www.snopes.com/medical/disease/cancerupdate.asp#L88psVeg9ZwDqKFV.01
(May I note that this surgeon hands out 'Buddha Boot Camp' to all the new cancer patients, is very spiritual? And that most major cancer centers, Johns Hopkins, Memorial Sloan-Kettering, MD Anderson, Mayo Clinic, HAVE 'complimentary medicine' Departments that offer acupuncture, Reiki and more to their cancer patients?)
Here is my something to add:
The Article Says:
LATEST CANCER INFORMATION
from Johns Hopkins
from Johns Hopkins
Reiki Doc Says:
We are dropping a Big Name in order to convince you of something in this article.
The Article Says:
AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY AND ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHNS HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY …
Reiki Doc Says:
No academic article would ever show a bias this blatantly, especially at the BEGINNING of the article.
The Article Says:
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.
Reiki Doc Says:
Sounds plausible. Where is the little number that says what reference this factoid was pulled from? I'd like to see the original article.
The Article Says:
2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person’s lifetime.
Reiki Doc Says:
Please see response to item 1
The Article Says:
3. When the person’s immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.
Reiki Doc Says:
When the persons AURA is strong no energy imbalances can take place that could lead to the cancer OR the immune response to protect. High Vibration creates a strong 'eggshell' of energy that surrounds the individual.
The Article Says:
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.
Reiki Doc Says:
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! This is totally unsubstantiated. Furthermore, it puts the blame on the Patient. Genetics, environmental factors (such as smoking), Life Scripts (pre-birth contract--perhaps the illness is a 'life lesson' agreed to before being born)...never EVER blame the patient. EVER! It is a waste of time and energy for the individual to get caught up in the 'blame game'. By the time of diagnosis, the energy imbalance is severe. The Patient Needs All the Love and Compassion and Support, and All Divine Assistance. They will not be able to heal anything if focused on 'why me?' and thoughts of 'blame'.
The Article Says:
5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.
Reiki Doc Says:
please see response to item 4
The Article Says:
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.
Reiki Doc Says:
Yes, this is true. This is why patients lose their hair. Yes, patients can have cardiac, lung and other organ damage. The underlying belief here is that killing the cancer cells is worth this risk.
The Article Says:
7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.
Reiki Doc Says:
Yes this is true. Please see response number 6.
The Article Says:
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.
Reiki Doc Says:
Every cancer is different. I see 'chemo' reduce the size of tumors to make surgery possible for cure. I have seen Chemotherapy cures. I have seen radiation cures (for example, cervical cancer). This statement is completely unsubstantiated with a reference article. How can you trust it?
The Article Says:
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.
Reiki Doc Says:
Immunosuppresion is present in all cancer patients, whether they are undergoing treatment or not. Diabetics are also immunosuppressed. So are patients with HIV, geriatric patients, and very young pediatric patients who are under one year old.
The Article Says:
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.
Reiki Doc Says:
This is true. It is also true that untreated cancer will progress if nothing is done with treatment. I know of several patients who have gone to Mexico and other places for alternative cancer treatments, who have died from unchecked cancer growth. I have also spoken with a primary care physician who has cured Retinal cancer and restored the vision with Vitamin C i.v. therapy with full radiation treatments to the eye. The vision was saved with this combination treatment, and the Radiation Oncologist had never seen anything like it.
The Article Says:
11. An effective way to battle cancer is to STARVE the cancer cells by not feeding it with foods it needs to multiple.
What 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. Note: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 soy milk, cancer cells will 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 t o 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.
Reiki Doc Says:
This is the basic premise of the RAW Vegan diet. It is one point of view. There are no studies cited to support these claims. I drink distilled water to avoid Fluoride. It is a developmental neurotoxin. It was also put into the water of the concentration camps in Nazi Germany to make the people imprisoned there more docile.
http://www.thelancet.com/journals/laneur/article/PIIS1474-4422(13)70278-3/fulltext#article_upsell There's my citation. It's from the Lancet.
The Article Says:
12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines will become putrified and leads to more toxic buildup.
Reiki Doc Says:
Someone has been reading this website and is not even citing it: https://www.herbdoc.com Dr. Richard Schultze. I take his SuperFood Plus every day. I think it's the carbamates from the cooking of meat, especially on a fire, and the multiple additives and things used for cost-savings in production, as well as the long transit time for undigested food in many people, that just might trigger the colon cancer in those who are susceptible to it. I also think the hormones in dairy and meat might have something to do with breast and prostate tissue, and interaction might be going on with delicate hormonally-sensitive tissues that could possibly lead to cancer. That's a 'feeling, a hunch' in my gut. I don't have anything to cite it.
The Article Says:
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.
Reiki Doc Says:
I have done research with Exercise in Women and Natural Killer Cells. This whole statement number 13 just doesn't make sense. Why not talk about immunotherapy with cultures and vaccines created from tumor sample? And for in-vitro tests on the effectiveness against the cancer cells from the biopsy with different chemotherapy? Testing for Receptor status on Breast Cancer is very helpful in deciding the course of treatment now.
The Article Says:
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.
Reiki Doc Says:
Again, please cite the sources of these statements.
The Article Says:
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, unforgiving 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.
Reiki Doc Says:
Do not blame the patient. Do not EVER blame the patient. It is not therapeutic in any way, and is in fact, counterproductive. I think Bernie Siegel does an excellent job of covering the 'mind set' of people who conquer cancer. I highly recommend his books. Furthermore, do everything possible to LEARN from what your body is trying to tell you with the 'message' that it sends out when you have cancer, just like Dr. Siegel--who is an oncology surgeon--writes in his books.
The Article Says:
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.
Reiki Doc Says:Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! It is HYPERBARIC oxygen that is the therapy. As well as free-radical related treatment with the high doses of Vitamin C infusions. Deep breathing does bring oxygen, and it also brings in Divine Light. Breathe deep, and meditate, and really search your soul and your connection to Source. Exercising will raise your vibration, and also help you take your mind off of your situation. But from what 16 says? Please. Please give a citation as a reference for this fact if it is going to be shared on the internet.
This is Archangel Raphael. He is the Best Healer of All.
Why not ask Him to guide and comfort you in your diagnosis of cancer in yourself or a loved one?
Prayer is IMPORTANT and not mentioned once in the article.
It doesn't have to be anything connected to religion. Just a simple, heartfelt prayer like, 'Archangel Raphael? I am in trouble. This is serious. I don't know what to do. Everyone is telling me everything. It is painful. It is expensive. Please take my hand and guide me at this difficult time. I trust YOU. Please make your Voice LOUD and CLEAR so I can understand it. Thank you. I love you. '
Aloha and Mahalos,
Namaste,
Peace,
Reiki Doc
