Cancer Quick Facts

    This  blog post  is  my  own  personal view point  and  my  own opinion.     Which  I’m allowed to have…. I did the research  and  it is my personal blog. When you research nutrition  for prevention of  chronic disease it has many  redeeming qualities.  However,  when it comes  to treatment is macrobiotic diets…. are they really that effective.

   When you look at chemotherapy and radiation being counter productive while  producing carcinogenic toxins  killing  good  and  bad cells.  That also causes secondary cancers,  therefore,  is chemotherapy and radiation really the way to go.  Some cancer patients question it’s ability to heal when while going through chemotherapy,  bacteria on  fruit consumed  can also lead to  a deadly bacterial infection.

   When your dealing with chemotherapy  and  all the negative side effects that goes along  with it.  The cancer patient  is often caught  between a rock  and hard place. With lowering blood counts that often restored after chemo you still  have  your  setbacks  during  treatment.   Often  white  blood  cells drop,  neutropenia often causing  fever,  chills,  coughing,  oral thrush/sore throats,  using Colgate Total  and  it’s  anti  fungal  properties  for good oral  hygiene. With  burning during urinating and severe diarrhea/constipation  frequent (1000mg of  Milk Thistle can be used  for chemo liver damage.)

    To compound the problem even  further red blood cells can lower to the point of  anemia causing increased tiredness,  fatigue,  shortness of  breath. and  chest pains which often  bee pollen can help.  With  diminished  platelet counts,  thrombocytopenia can occur with easy bruising, bleeding  from the skin,  urine  and  stool self  evident  with  severe  head  aches  being  normal. Therefore one should understand what to expect to alleviate some  or  most of  the side effects.

    As  I  research  the Macrobiotic Diet  for a cancer cure,  listen  also read  the differing viewpoints.  The  cases  that  peeked  my  interest  the most are  X – Memphis BBQ King Chris Wark,  researching his own answer to cancer, Kris Carr whom became popular writing books, Suzanne Somers  with  her own blog debating the trials & tribulations and Cleveland’s own Janet Hick whom was mentor  by Macrobiotic Expert Francois Roland.

    When I write macrobiotic diet  I’m not stating a carrot stick, celery stalk for dinner and supper. In Chris Wark’s case  it was a hardcore  fight  for his life  with eight 8 ounce  veggie  juices  daily.  Combined  with  a  giant  salad twice @ day (including broccoli, cauliflower, kale, spinach, onions, peppers and  mushrooms topped  with  an  olive  oil/apple  cider  vinegar  dressing.) With  garlic,  oregano,  cayenne pepper, turmeric  seasoning  with  a  blend  smoothie  for desert of  baby coconut,  banana,  with a mixture of  berries. 

   While Liana Werner – Gray  whom some consider an imposter growing up in  the  Outback of  Australia  (Alice Springs ~ Northern Territory.)  Amongst the  indigenous  aboriginal tribe  communities.  Living  off  the  land  without technology  and  instead  harvesting  what  earth  provides  naturally. While coming  down  with  a  precancerous tumour  in  her  lymphatic system  after moving to the city  and  becoming  a  junk  food addict of  refine sugar.

    In  the  five  cases  above  we talk about  over dosing on  phytonutrients (raw food) known to kill cancer cells.  When you over dose in this  manner    it  performs  aggressive detoxification  throwing  your body  into a ketosis,  thereby, burning  fat cells  and the toxins stored in them  for energy. While producing a healing state  putting your body in a cleansing state.

   So in a sense… what difference is it if you go through chemotherapy with it’s sometimes  harsh side effects  that can disseminate your immune system. Or decide  to go through  an aggressive detoxification  that heals the body by kicking toxins out thereby producing a healing pathway. However, it would be counter productive  and  you can’t decide both ways  it’s one  or the other. If  you would do both  with  the  macrobiotic diet  kicking out toxins it would also render the chemotherapy ineffective.

   This blog post may not make sense once you read it,  however,  once you look through the links;  research it  for yourself  it will become crystal clear. Within the human body a wide array of  events occur that produces chronic inflammation.  Predispose  susceptible  cells  to  neoplastic  transformation, in general, the longer inflammation persist, the higher risk  for cancer.

    This  inflammatory  process  may  induce  DNA  mutations  in  cells  via   oxidative/nitrosative  stress.  This condition occurs when the generation of free radicals and active intermediates in a system that exceeds the system’s ability  to neutralize  and  eliminates  the culprits.  Inflammatory  cells  and  cancer cells….  themselves produce  “free radicals”  and  soluble  mediators, such as metabolites of  arachidonic acid,  cytokines  and chemokines.

     Which act by further producing reactive species, these in turn, strongly recruit  inflammatory  cells  in  a  vicious  cycle.  Reactive  intermediates  of   oxygen  and  nitrogen may directly oxidize DNA,  or  may interfere with the  mechanisms  of  DNA  repair.  These reactive substances  may  also  rapidly react with proteins, carbohydrates and lipids.

    Thereby,  having the derivative products inducing a high perturbation     in the intracellular or intercellular hemostatic until DNA mutation occur. The  main  substances also linking inflammation to cancer… via oxidative/   nitrosative  stress are prostaglandins  and  cytokines  which can suppress  the immune system.

    The effectors  are  represented  by an imbalance  between  pro-oxidants and  antioxidants  enzyme  activities  (lipoxygenase,  cyclooxygenase,  and phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase), hydroperoxides  and lipoperoxides,  aldehydes  and  peroxnitrite.  This  review  focalizes  on  the  intricate events by discussing the relationship occurring among oxidative/ nitrosative/metabolic stress,  inflammation  and cancer pathways.

     While oxidative stress causes cancer  those  same  free radical assaults can damage the eye and the rest of the body as well.  One key preventive is consuming a healthy diet while avoiding exposure to pollution, chemicals, smoking  and  ultra violent radiation.  While  free  radical  production can occur  with normal daily metabolism some risk  factors can be reduced by     a diet  filled with antioxidant  foods.

     So what people need to know  to prevent  cancer  as  well  as  cataracts which  is  easier  to understand  is  to  follow  a  healthy diet.  That includes colorful   fruits  and  vegetables  enriched  with  antioxidant  vitamins  and phytochemicals  found  in  them.  Along  with  a  moderate consumption of  fish high in omega – 3 fatty acid. While also avoiding those  food additives, sugary snacks & soft drinks, reducing sodium & fried greasy  fast  foods to help you avoid cataract surgery and cancer in your  future!! 

    Antioxidants  are very beneficial  as  they  help  to boost energy while  reversing the aging process  and  nourishing skin by supplying purifying agents  into the blood.  Playing a vital role  in  preventing chronic disease with my personal  favorite being Zeal  for Life. What Wild Berry  flavored blend does besides tasting great…  is give me a boost each morning before riding  my  bicycle.  If  it  wasn’t   for  this  product  no – way  could  I  ride    18 miles  without so much a sunburn  while losing the weight  I want to    lose by the 4th of  July.      For Q & A Contact:  Peggy Easterwood

Metabolic  Effect  of  Exercise!!!!

   After a hard winter of  working  on this website 16 hour daily.                            I noticed this spring my clothes was fitting tight and not so right.             When you start having  relatives and  friends  saying  things  like                that  midsection  can’t  be  healthy  for  you  ~  you  start  thinking             about what being really over weight does for you and the benefits                    of  exercise on a regular basis.

   What we don’t know about  fat cells can kill us… like a tumor…                  when you consume more calories than you burn. Fat cells in your             body swell to  as much as six times their minimum size  and  begin                   to  multiply   from  40 Billion  in  an  average  adult  to  100 Billion.       Simply put,  fat that is not used  for  fuel immediately is stored  for             later use and can create havoc on your body.

    To the endth  degree,  if  your consuming high calorie meals and                 NOT  burning very many calories . Your fat cells swell and multiply resulting in weight gain.  So carrying a  few extra pounds  may also       wreak havoc  of  your “hormone balance,”  leading  to  a  variety  of    illnesses and health risks.

     Estrogen,  the  classified   “female hormone”   is  a  fast  storing           hormone,  that is also,  naturally present in small amounts within              men as well.  Although necessary,  within  men  while regulating a       healthy libido,  improved  brain  function (especially memory) and   protecting  the  heart.  When  it  is  to  high  testosterone  levels  are       reduced  and  men experience fatigue,  muscle tone loss,  decreased        sexual  function and in some cases enlarged prostate.

    Do  fat cells disappear or shrink when you lose weight?  Why do               men tend to gain weight  in  their  bellies?  The  answer  to  the  first    question is “no!”   No  fat  cells  only  slighty  decrease  and  the cells      become less metabolically active.  While  remaining  in  your  body,    waiting for the next assault on a donut so they can expand again.

    Someone who has maintained a normal body weight their whole                 life have an easier time staying  fit.  Than  someone  whose  fat  cells         have swelled uncontrollably and multiplied in the past.  Aside  from             the way you feel when you’re packing a few extra pounds, there are          also internal complications that result  from morbid obesity.

     Fat tissue attract  immune system cells called macrophages that     promotes chronic inflammation into your body.  So by carrying extra     weight…. your body also produces an immune response similar to the  reaction your body exhibits when you develops the flu or injury.  That inflammation is intended to  fight infection,  therefore, your body will         see that extra  fat calories  from a greasy pizza as an invasion.

    Men typically…. carry extra weight in their midsection,  thereby,                   if  you gain weight most of  it will go directly to your belly  first  (with women on the other hand  it goes to the hips or thighs.)  Belly  fat  will   increase the likelihood of  bad cholesterol (LDL), triggers  extra  fat in         the blood stream, raises blood pressure  and  blood sugar levels.  

     Furthermore,  abdominal  fat  tends to be deeper  inside the body,               as opposed to hip  or  thigh area  fat  which is directly stored under the       skin.  Fat cells  within the abdomen  are metabolically more active than        fat cells located in other areas, which lead to diabetes, coronary artery disease, stroke  and  certain cancers because of estrogen imbalance.

   Abdominal  fat cells may also effect the healthy  function of  the liver. Unfortunately there is no way  to target weight loss  in one specific area         of  the  body.   So in order to lose your spare tire  you must exercise your entire body. The good news with regular exercise usually the midsection      is the  fastest to come off….

     When you exercise your body releases chemicals called endorphins       that will interact… with the receptors in your brain… that reduces your perception of  pain.  Endorphins  also  trigger a positive  feeling  in  your body that  follows a workout often described as “euphoric .”  That is also accompanied  by a positive  and  energizing outlook on life.  Endorphins    are manufactured in your brain, the spinal cord,  and  many other parts      of  your body that releases neurotransmitters.

    However,  once you commit to losing the extra poundage.  Pay close attention  ~  listen  to  your  body…. abdominal swelling,  belly bloating, and  distended  tummies  after vigorous workouts.  Can be both common place and discouraging, however, not necessarily concerning. When you first engage in vigorous exercise,  your  body interprets it as trauma and may retain water as a precautionary measure.

   One of  the most common causes of  Belly Bloating which at first seems     self ~ defeating because you’re losing the weight but keeping the tummy. Because your body  is retaining water  your sweating more than normal     as a result…. of  an imbalance  in the amount of  salt in your blood.  Also when you first engage in vigorous exercise, blood moves away  from the intestines;  out to the extremities and impairs the digestive system.

   To avoid these issues  and help your progress moving  forward always     eat a  full meal at least two hours  before working out allowing your  food   to properly digest. Including mostly complex carbohydrates, some protein eating slowly.  While avoiding caffeine,  aspirin,  high does vitamin C with carbonated drinks and  foods with high amounts of  fiber, sugars and  fats being complete no – no’s.

Regular Exercise….  has proven to: 

—  Feelings of  Well Being   

—  Strengthen Your Heart

—  Lower Blood Pressure 

— Reduce LDL Cholesterol 

— Reduce Anxiety & Stress 

— Ward  off  Depression  

—  Boost Self  – Esteem 

—  Improve Sleep Habits 

— Increase Energy Levels  

— Improve Muscle Tone  

— Improve Strength & Stamina 

— Strengthen and Build Bones

    Being  Solitarius  is a website more in line to prevent instead                              of  treat  cancer.  There  is  plenty  of  research  showing  the  link          between acidic pH and cancer thriving in an acidic environment.         Cancer  cells  make your body  even more acidic  as  they produce              lactic acid.  So  if  you have cancer,  your  pH levels  are  low  and                   your body is too acidic.   Read: Clean by Dr.  Alejandro Junger

     Cancer  doesn’t  survive  in  a  normal alkaline environment…                      so  making  your body  more alkaline  is vital  in anybody’s battle           against cancer. The majority of  foods and drinks we consume are         acidic,  such as meat,  grains,  sugar,  with colas other soft drinks            being  highly  acidic.  Actually too much acidity  is an underlying           factor in many degenerative diseases (diabetes, arthritis and also Fibromyalgia to name a few.)

    Back in time, Otto Warburg researcher at the Kaiser Wilhelm          Institute led a  discovery that  flavins  and the  nicotinamide  were                 the active groups  of  the hydrogen ~ transforming enzymes.  This,      together with the iron ~ oxygenase  discovered  earlier,  had  given                    a complete account of  the  oxidation  and  reductions  in the living         world. 

    While showing that cancer cells can live  and develope,  even in                  the absence  of  oxygen.  For this discovery of  the nature  and  mode               of  action of  the  respiratory enzyme.  That cancer cells  can’t live in                an  Alkaline state… the Noble Prize was awarded to him in 1931 and          until this day nobody has challenge the validity of  his theory.

    So when you think  alkaline state  and  The pH Miracle  only one           STOP is necessary to learn the concept.  Therefore  that  one stop shop        being,  The pH Miracle Center in Valley Center, California and asking        Dr. Robert O. Young  or  his wife Shelley  whom work in unison. There  powerful philosophy of keeping a alkaline lifestyle of nutrition, while reprograming clients has helped  Kris Carr and  Mark Lichty amongst others that I’m sure about.      The Chris Wark Story!!!

    According to the National Cancer Institute: current information                  on the possible association between stress and cancer, at least three        areas of  investigation are being explored?

    Virus – related tumors:  an  indirect relationship between certain             types of virus -related tumors (Kaposi Sarcoma, Burkett Lymphoma,         and cancer of  the liver)  and stress has been established. The indirect  results  from  the  facts  some cancers are triggered by a process that involves certain precursor infections (such  as  herpes  and hepatitis)   known to be exacerbated by stress and a weaken immune system.

    Cell Processes:  the body’s natural neuroendocrine responses has           been shown to alter important cell processes that protect against the formation  of  cancer,   such  as  cell repair  and  the  regulation of  cell growth.  Age related deficits  in protein synthesis  and  responsiveness             of  cells  to  stress,  decrease  cell – cell  communication  and  inefficient     signal transduction may render old cells less able to withstand stress.

     Tumor  Growth  and  Spread:  the  precise  biological  mechanisms  underlying the influence of  stress in the growth  and spread of  cancer.      Are not yet understood, however, a link between the effects of stress on      the  immune  system  and  the  growth  of  some  tumors  has  been  well documented. A recent study at the University of  Texas,  M.D. Anderson Cancer Center  in  Houston  indicates  that  stress  hormones, especially  norepinephrine  and  epinephrine  can contribute to tumor progression          in patients with ovarian cancer.    Maitake Mushroom

    Other  Factors  in  the  Effect  of  Stress  on  the  Immune  System!!!!!       They are numerous and can exacerbate the negative influence of  stress       on  the  immune  system.  Age,  nutrition,  gender  (estrogen),  ethnicity,     and  psychosocial  characteristic of  the individual  can affect white cell circulation  in  response  to  stressors.  Depression,  lack  of  support, or  hostility can cause altered immune cell response to acute stress.

    Regardless  to  it’s  origin,  psychological  stress  always  leads  to  a   change in white blood cell count at varying degrees depending upon the   type and duration of  the stressor.  Current  research  shows that longer  lasting stressors  causes  a reduction of  immune  function  and  increase over vulnerability to disease.  Numerous studies  document  the immune system suppressors caused by severe stressors can be detrimental.

    Such stressor like martial strife,  bereavement,  long term caregiving,    living in unfavorable conditions,  and the reaction to life changing events (floods,  earthquakes,   fires,  tornadoes  and  hurricanes.)   Amongst  the  protective factors physical fitness appears to be a very important positive   mediator  of  white  blood  cell  activity  in  the  presence  of  psychological stressors….     

    This all said,  I think it would be interesting  to compare cancer rates        for the most stressful cities in the United States. Based upon divorce rates, commute time, unemployment rate, both violent  and property  crime also alcohol  consumption  and  those whom smoke.  Seeing  firsthand  “if ” this theory holds true under pressure. While also comparing the cities scoring highest in the  fitness index,  Top Vegan Friendly  least ~ most polluted      and State Cancer Rates  by types of  cancer.
