A clump of prostate cancer cells.The brown cells are actively growing, whereas the red ones are in the process of dying by programmed cell death (apoptosis).
As I have stated on my web site, I was diagnosed with aggressive Prostate cancer with a Gleason score of 9 and a PSA of 98.7; and basically told that this would be my ultimate down fall. After a time of tears and depression I decided to find out more about CANCER and how it mutates. At first I tried anecdotal formulations like turmeric, oxygenated water, Q10 and many more; but it was not until I came across Otto Warburg that everything started to fall into place.
Otto Warburg a Nobel Prize winner demonstrated that cancer is caused when a cells oxygen use is reduced causing the cells to change to anaerobic instead of being aerobic, hence the cells needs for a more acid environment; this then leads to a reduction in oxygen and an increased risk of mutation..So by increasing oxygen to cells and having a more alkaline diet decreases the risks of cells mutating...
Acidic pH Levels Lead To Cancer...
Normalizing pH Levels Can Stop Cancer in Its Tracks
There is plenty of research showing that cancer thrives in an acidic environment, and doesn't survive in a normal, more alkaline 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.
Taking action to make your body more alkaline is vital in the battle against cancer. Unfortunately the majority of the foods and drinks we consume are acidic , such as meat, grains and sugar, with colas and other soft drinks being highly acidic. So unless you have been eating a very healthy diet, full of fresh fruit and vegetables, your body iswaytoo acidic, creating a very good environment for cancer to grow in.
Actually, too much acidity is an underlying factor in many degenerative diseases -- diabetes, arthritis, fibromyalgia and more. A basic maxim of natural physicians is: Balance the bio terrain. Do this first, and then everything can come back to normal.
Taking medicines or supplements while your body is highly acidic is a bit like washing dishes in a sink of dirty water, even when you put in plenty of soap, you can't get the dishes clean.
According toKeiichi Morishitain his book, Hidden Truth of Cancer, when your blood starts to become acidic, your body deposits acidic substances (usually toxins) into cells to allow the blood to remain slightly alkaline. This causes your cells to become more acidic and toxic, which results in a decrease of their oxygen levels, and harms their DNA and respiratory enzymes.
Over time, he theorizes, these cells increase in acidity and some die. These dead cells themselves turn into acids. However,someof these acidified cells may adapt in that environment. In other words, instead of dying as normal cells do in an acid environment some cells survive by becoming abnormal cells.
These abnormal cells are called malignant cells. Malignant cells do not correspond with brain function or with our own DNA memory code. Therefore, malignant cells grow indefinitely and without order. This is cancer.
As you can see, he is describing, from a different point of view, the process by which low oxygen levels turn some cells cancerous. Alkaline water (including the water in cells) holds a lot of oxygen. Acidic water holds very little oxygen. So the more acidic your cells are, the less oxygenated they will be. To make matters worse, the fermentation process cancer cells use to produce energy creates lactic acid, further increasing acidity and reducing oxygen levels.
Sang Whang, in his book Reverse Aging, points out that toxins are acidic. If your blood is too acidic, toxins will not be released from your cells into the blood. So your cells can't be detoxified. This build-up of toxins in your cells results in acidic, poorly oxygenated cells, which can turn cancerous. He explains,
"In general, degenerative diseases are the result of acid waste build-ups within us. When we are born, we have the highest alkaline mineral concentration and also the highest body pH. From that point on, the normal process of life is to gradually acidify. That is why these degenerative diseases do not occur when you are young. Reverse aging requires two separate steps: chemical and physical. The first step is to lower the acidity of the body so that it can dispose of acidic wastes in the blood and cellular fluids safely and easily. The second step is to physically pull out old stored wastes into the blood stream so that they can be discharged from the body."
There is a long history of reversing cancer simply by alkalinizing the body. It is one of the basic strategies in the battle against cancer and for improving your health in general.
Virtuallyevery onewith cancer has low pH levels. This is because cancer is created, and thrives, in a body that has low pH levels, a body that is acidic. Low pH causes your body to store more toxins in cells, and reduces oxygen levels, both of which are fundamental to the development of cancer. When cancer cells grow they produce even more acid, making it very difficult to raise pH levels, especially when cancer is present.
When you take something to increase pH levels, your cells notice the difference and start to dump some of the toxins they are holding back into the bloodstream now that they have a chance to get rid of them. (Toxins are acidic and the cells won't release them if the blood is too acidic. The blood must be kept in a narrow range around neutral pH.) Because the cells are releasing some of their stored toxins, your pH levels drop again. This detoxification process can take months to complete. In addition, because cancer cells pump out lactic acid as a by-product of how they produce energy, they create even more acidity. You need to work a long time at normalizing pH because of these factors, but as you do, you will make your body, in a sense, cancer proof.
Low Oxygen Levels Breed Cancer...
Increasing Cellular Oxygen Levels Kills Cancerous Cells
An underlying cause of cancer is low cellular oxygenation levels. In newly formed cells, low levels of oxygen damage respiration enzymes so that they cells cannot produce energy using oxygen. These cells can then turn cancerous.
In 1931 Dr. Warburg won his first Nobel Prize for proving cancer is caused by a lack of oxygen respiration in cells. He stated in an article titled "The Prime Cause and Prevention of Cancer" That the cause of cancer is no longer a mystery; we know it occurs whenever any cell is denied 60% of its oxygen requirements."
"Cancer, above all other diseases, has countless secondary causes. But, even for cancer, there is only one prime cause. Summarized in a few words, the prime cause of cancer is the replacement of the respiration of oxygen in normal body cells by a fermentation of sugar. All normal body cells meet their energy needs by respiration of oxygen, where as cancer cells meet their energy needs in great part by fermentation. All normal body cells are thus obligate aerobes, whereas all cancer cells are partial anaerobes."
Poor oxygenation comes from a build-up of carcinogens and other toxins within and around cells, which blocks and then damages the cellular oxygen respiration mechanism. Clumping up of red blood cells slows down the bloodstream, and restricts flow into capillaries. This also causes poor oxygenation. Even lack of the proper building blocks for cell walls, Omega 3 essential fatty acids, restricts oxygen exchange.
This is why the essential fatty acids have become a well known cancer treatment. Omega 3 essential fatty acids are needed by cell walls so that oxygen can enter the cells. It is great for diabetes and heart or cardiovascular disease also.
To vigorously fight cancer with this approach, use a lot of essential fatty acids and ground up flax seeds mixed with fruit or dairy free yogurt. Use up to 4-6 tablespoons of essential fatty acids daily and 4-6 tablespoons (1/2 cup) of ground up flax seeds daily. Make sure the essential fatty acids have been refrigerated at the store, and keep it refrigerated at home. If you grind up flax seeds, use them immediately or store the extra in the refrigerator or freezer. Essential fatty acids go rancid very easily. And stay away from vegetable oils as they hinder its effects.
What Warburg and other scientists found was that respiratory enzymes in cells, which make energy aerobically using oxygen, die when cellular oxygen levels drop.
When this happens, the cell can no longer produce energy aerobically. So, if the cell is to live, it must, at least partially, ferment sugars, producing energy anaerobically.
According to Warburg, cells that produce energy by fermenting sugars may turn cancerous. Warburg's contention is this...
The cells that cannot produce energy aerobically cannot produce enough energy to maintain their ability to function properly. So they lose their ability to do whatever they need to do in the body.
Fermentation allows these cells to survive, but they can no longer perform any functions in the body or communicate effectively with the body. Consequently, these cells can only multiply and grow, and may become cancerous. Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say, they change into cancer cells.
Decades ago, two researchers at the National Cancer Institute, Dean Burn and Mark Woods, (Dean translated some of Warburg's speeches) conducted a series of experiments where they measured the fermentation rate of cancers that grew at different speeds. What they found supported Dr. Warburg's theory. The cancers with the highest growth rates had the highest fermentation rates. The slower a cancer grew, the less it used fermentation to produce energy.
Naturally Warburg's contention was challenged and tested by other scientists.
Some researchers claimed his theory was not valid after they had measured a particularly slow growing cancer, and found no fermentation at all. And if cancer could grow with no fermentation, then fermentation, or lack of oxygen respiration, was not the cause of cancer. Dean Burn and Mark Woods checked those results.
Using more sophisticated equipment, they determined that the equipment these researchers used to measure fermentation levels was not accurate enough to detect fermentation at low levels. Their testing, using newer and more accurate equipment, showed that even in those very slow growing cancer cells, fermentation was still taking place, at very low levels.
Pietro Gullino, also at the National Cancer Institute, devised a test which showed that this slow growing cancer always produced fermentation lactic acid.
Silvio Fiala, a biochemist from the University of Southern California, also confirmed that this slow growing cancer produced lactic acid, and that its oxygen respiration was reduced.
Further research into Warburg's theory showed that when oxygen levels were turned down, cells began to produce energy anaerobically. They ultimately became cancerous when levels went low enough. It took a reduction of 35% in oxygen levels for this to happen.
J. B. Kizer, a biochemist and physicist at Gungnir Research in Portsmith, Ohio explains, "Since Warburg's discovery, this difference in respiration has remained the most fundamental (and some say, only) physiological difference consistently found between normal and cancer cells. Using cell culture studies, I decided to examine the differential responses of normal and cancer cells to changes in the oxygen environment.
"The results that I found were rather remarkable. I found that... "High 02 tensions were lethal to cancer tissue, 95 percent being very toxic, whereas in general, normal tissues were not harmed by high oxygen tensions. Indeed, some normal tissues were found to require high 02 tensions. It does seem to demonstrate the possibility that if the 02 tensions in cancer tissues can be elevated, then the cancer tissue may be able to be killed selectively, as it seems that the cancer cells are incapable of handling the 02 in a high 02 environment."
Low oxygen levels in cells may be a fundamental cause of cancer. There are several reasons cells become poorly oxygenated. An overload of toxins clogging up the cells, poor quality cell walls that don't allow nutrients into the cells, the lack of nutrients needed for respiration, poor circulation and perhaps even low levels of oxygen in the air we breathe.
Cancer cells produce excess lactic acid as they ferment energy. Lactic acid is toxic, and tends to prevent the transport of oxygen into neighbouring normal cells. Over time as these cells replicate, the cancer may spread if not destroyed by the immune system.
Chemotherapy and radiation are used because cancer cells are weaker than normal cells and therefore may die first.
However, chemo and radiation damage respiratory enzymes in healthy cells, and overload them with toxins, so they become more likely to develop into cancer. The underlying cancer causing conditions are worsened, not improved. And the cancer usually returns quickly a second timeunlessyou make changes to support the health of your body.
The implication of this research is that an effective way to support the body's fight against cancer would be to get as much oxygen as you can into healthy cells, and improving their ability to utilize oxygen. Raising the oxygen levels of normal cells would help prevent them from becoming cancerous.
And increasing oxygen levels in cancer cells to high levels could help kill those cancer cells.
A nurse who works in medical research said, "It's so simple. I don't know why I never thought of it before. When we're working with cell cultures in the lab, if we want the cells to mutate, we turn down the oxygen. To stop them, we turn the oxygen back up."
As I have stated earlier... (I came across Otto Warburg and then everything started to fall into place). Well the final piece of the jigsaw came when I read an article about a man called Bruce Lipton and decided to read his book called "The Biology of Belief". It was mind blowing.. I now know the real reason why we get the majority of CANCERS........
Dr.Bruce LiptonPhD
(born October 21, 1944) is an Americandevelopmentalbiologist, who is best known for promoting the idea thatgenesandDNAcan be manipulated by a person's beliefs.
The Biology of Belief is a groundbreaking work in the field of New Biology. Author Dr. Bruce Lipton is a former medical school professor and research scientist. His experiments, and that of other leading edge scientists, have examined in great detail the processes by which cells receive information. The implications of this research radically change our understanding of life. It shows that genes and DNA do not control our biology; that instead DNA is controlled by signals from outside the cell, including the energetic messages emanating fromour positive and negative thoughts.
Dr. Lipton's profoundly hopeful synthesis of the latest and best research in cell biology and quantum physics is being hailed as a major breakthrough showing that our bodies can be changed as we retrain our thinking. A must to read...

The China Story
This gives a detailed account of a 20yr study in China, the diet and the consequences associated with it.
Referred to as the "Grand Prix of epidemiology" by The New York Times, this study examines more than 350 variables of health and nutrition with surveys from 6,500 adults in more than 2,500 counties across China and Taiwan, and conclusively demonstrates the link between nutrition and heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. While revealing that proper nutrition can have a dramatic effect on reducing and reversing these ailments as well as curbing obesity, this text calls into question the practices of many of the current dietary programs, such as the Atkins diet, that are widely popular in the West
The China Studyexamines the relationship between the consumption of animal and dairy intakesand illnesses such as cancers of the breast, prostate, and large bowel, diabetes, coronary heart disease, obesity, autoimmune disease, osteoporosis, degenerative brain disease, and macular degeneration.
The authors conclude that people who eat awhole plant food/vegandiet which avoids animal proteins such as beef, poultry, eggs, fish, milk and milk products willminimize or reverse the development of chronic diseases
SUGAR:The killer
Research has shown that:
- Processed sugar blocks the absorption of calcium.
- Processed sugar produces a low oxygen environment.
- Processed sugar is extremely acidic.
- Too much processed sugar is the death of the immune system. It interrupts the Kreb's energy cycle which in turn suppresses your immune system's manufacture of killer cells and antibodies.
- Processed sugar depletes B vitamins which are needed by the liver to detoxify it. The liver is the most important organ when it comes to healing the body.
And what about milk?
Does Milk Really Do The Body Good? Calcium and Protein: A Mixture for Disaster
By: Mark J. Occhipinti, M.S. , Ph.D, NDc.
It is a documented fact that consumption of dairy products can lead to the development of atherosclerosis, heart attack and strokes, and that high fat dairy products contain unsafe levels of environmental contaminants, including pesticide residues, antibiotics and oestrogen steroids. In addition, research has demonstrated a "calcium wash" along with other critical minerals (potassium, magnesium, and iron) from the blood stream, causing a negative calcium balance which will result with an intake of only 24 ounces of dairy products daily.
Low animal protein diets create a positive calcium balance, meaning bones are not losing calcium; and high animal protein diets create a negative calcium balance, meaning osteoporosis is developing. As a result of this research data, low fat dairy products are now in vogue with many people assuming this to be a health advantage. However, as a result of their higher protein concentrations, low, especially non-fat dairy products have been shown to make a greater contribution to osteoporosis, kidney problems and certain forms of cancers.
Dairy products are the leading culprit in food allergies. Low fat varieties are actually more allergenic due higher protein concentration. In addition, it has been stated that dairy products cause a myriad of problems within the small intestines by interfering with intestinal permeability, thereby allowing large fragments of proteins to enter into the blood stream. This is also known as "leaky gut syndrome". This can lead to a host of physical problems, including irritable bowel syndrome, malabsorption of nutrients, and obesity, mineral and amino acid deficiencies.
A STARTING POINT
A mother produces breast milk containing antibodies to infectious agents that a newborn might be exposed to. If a mother breast feeds her newborn, a process known as diathelic immunity takes place, in which the baby receives the necessary antibodies to fight infection. During the first 72-96 hours after childbirth, breast milk contains colostrums, which carries immunoglobulin's that greatly enhance the newborn's immunity against disease. Babies deprived of colostrums have considerably higher rates of viral and bacterial infections.
During the first 6 months of life, a babies small intestines are highly permeable, to allow the maximum absorption of breast milk, and antibodies. During this "leaky gut" period, the baby is most vulnerable to developing allergies. An abundance of articles have pinpointed that allergies to dairy products begin in a new born's small intestines as a result of bottle feeding (either cow's milk directly or formula. Bottle fed babies suffer more of the following: pneumonia, middle-ear infections, respiratory infections, bacterial meningitis, neo-natal septicaemia, thrush, and viral illnesses, including polio and herpes simplex.
In fact, the risk of influenza and spinal meningitis for bottle fed babies is as much as sixteen times greater than the risk for breastfed babies. Recent, comprehensive studies involving thousands of babies bottle feed found a direct correlation with the development of immune system disorders, including diabetes, chronic liver disease, ulcerative colitis, celiac disease, spastic bowel disease, food allergies, obesity, coronary heart disease, and multiple sclerosis.
THE DECEPTION
The medical profession and the media encourage the public to drink milk and eat dairy products because "it does the body good". Nothing could be further from the truth!Higher calcium and protein intake is purported to lower the incidence of osteoporosis according to the Dairy Council and the dieticians that refuse to study the medical literature that is not in accordance with the Dairy Industry Commandments.Dr. Colin Campbell, Ph.D., professor of Nutritional Sciences, Cornell University, is the Director of the China-Oxford Cornell Study,the largest study of diet and disease in medical history.His findings: higher animal calcium and animal protein intake is the primary cause of degenerative disease.
In February, 1995, the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) lodged a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission, stating that ads for milk and milk products are deceptive in that they imply that calcium in milk is the answer to the bone loss caused by osteoporosis.
PCRM holds that while calcium intake is important during early childhood and does influence bone mass, there are alternative sources, besides animal products, others such as fruits, vegetables and grains can achieve our necessary calcium requirements of usable organic calcium. According to the research conducted by PCRM, milk consumption later in life actually contributes to calcium loss.
Research has demonstrated in countries with a lower animal calcium intake ( 1,200 mgs/day.14 PCRM urges women to control calcium loss in adulthood by exercise, reducing meat intake, reducing sodium intake and limiting caffeine and tobacco use. Dr. Neal Barnard, M.D., president of PCRM, states that dairy ads give women a dangerously false sense of security".
The PCRM further assesses thatcow's milk may cause diabetes, ovarian cancer, cataracts, iron deficiency, and allergies in both children & adults. Medical research also has made the association between cancer of the lymph system and the consumption of whole milk dairy products. Whole milk and dairy products including milk, ice cream, cheese contain fat soluble pesticide residues, sulfa drugs and antibiotics (the dairy industry labels this practice:BIO SECURITY) that have been linked to cancer in laboratory animals.
Milk Does Not Protect Women from Osteoporosis
Milk consumption does not protect against fractures, according to new data from the Harvard Nurses Study. The study recruited a group of 77,761 women who were between 34 and 59 years of age when the study began in 1980, and followed them for the next 12 years. Those who drank three or more glasses of milk per day that is promoted by the Dairy industry had no reduction at all in the risk of hip or arm fractures compared to those women who did not consume any dairy products; even after adjustments were made for weight, menopausal status, smoking and alcohol consumption and exercise levels.
In fact, but not surprisingly, the fracture rates were higher for those who consumed three plus servings (8 ounces per serving), compared to those who did not drink milk.
The findings resonate with international comparisons that show that fracture rates in Scandinavia, England, Canada, Denmark and other area where dairy consumption takes place is significantly higher than those countries were dairy consumption does not take place (Pacific Rim Nations, Africa, China).
The differences are the result of two other factors. First, in international studies, genetics play a role, with white women at higher risk than other groups. Second, other animal protein greatly increases calcium loss via the kidney.
Recognizing a dramatic rise in the number of Americans with osteoporosis (loss of bone mass, causing bone to become honeycombed, shrunken, brittle, and easily broken), the National Academy of Science, National Institutes of Health, and the USDA collaborated to raise the recommended daily calcium intake from 1000 mg. to 1500 mg. for kids over 10, women, and everyone past 50. And in 1993, the USDA allowed a bone-health claim for milk, reports Dr. Robert Heaney of Creighton University, Omaha. Dairy products are rich in calcium, to be sure; but they are also rich in protein. Dr. Vijaya Venkat of the Health Awareness Centre, Prabhadevi, Mumbai, India points out that nutritionists the world over believe that the Western diet provides too much protein. "There is too much protein in bovine milk, protein we do not need at all." The particular proteins in milk (and other animal sources) "produce acidic ash in the blood.Since our blood has to be slightly alkaline all the time, the body withdraws calcium from the bones to neutralize this acid.Excess protein will weaken the bones," Dr. Venkat writes. There are plenty of plant sources for calcium, researchers note. Citrus fruits, legumes, nuts, soy, and anything green. "Fruits and vegetables yield an alkaline ash, and don't deplete calcium stores," Alan Lamm reports. Citing research, he explains: "Meat, eggs, milk products, and fish are the most acid-forming foods. High protein diets lead to a gradual decrease in bone density." Lamm, summarizing a study embraced by all the anti-milk journalists, reports that osteoporosis and its resulting bone fractures are most common in countries where dairy consumption is highest: Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Scandinavian countries. In an article in the August 28, 1997 News-Observer, Dr. Neal D. Barnard, president of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, writes:"The real causes of osteoporosis are the five factors that leach calcium from the bones: Animal protein, caffeine, sodium, tobacco, and sedentary lifestyle." Dr. Venkat, states "(Osteoporosis) is a degenerative disease resulting from improper care of your body during younger and middle years." The Harvard Nurses Study In recent writings, the research cited most often (by American writers, at least) is the Harvard Nurses Study, which investigated osteoporosis and bone loss in women. Dr. Robert M. Kradjian of Seton Medical Centre at Daly City, Calif., explains, from 1980 to 1992 the Harvard Nurses Study followed 77,761 women between ages 34 and 59 to determine the relationship between milk consumption and osteoporosis. Dr. Kradjian and Dr. Bernard both report the bottom-line results of the study: "Those who drank three or more glasses of milk per day had no reduction in the risk of hip or arm fractures over the 12-year period, compared to women who drank little or no milk, even after adjustment for weight, menopausal status, smoking, and alcohol use." Dr. Kradjian, adds "Fracture rates were higher for those who consumed three or more servings, compared to those who did not drink milk."Milk: The Long White TrailResearch, some of it done 30 years back and some reported only weeks ago, documents a long list of milk negatives. The thesis: Milk does body harm. And milk's adversaries, whose numbers are growing, have a boxcar load of studies to support them. Cow's milk lacks essential fatty acids human infants need for neurological development. Babies drinking whole milk in their first two years develop allergies, colic, diabetes; milk causes internal bleeding in children, which contributes to anaemia.Milk protein attacks the immune system.Cow's milk contains "antibiotics (up to 84 different at last count), pesticides, chemicals, hormones (rBGH),blood, white cells (pus) (1/30 of every ounce), and bacteria from mastitis (udder infection)" which the USDA and FDA either do not test for (they do test for 4 of the up to 84 anti-biotics used), or which they allow to be present in unacceptably high levels. Various studies found"significant positive correlations" between milk intake and lung and ovarian cancers, leukaemia, and Crohn's disease. And, possibly, lung and prostate cancers,Dr. Kradjian notes, but with reservations:"the weight of evidence" suggests it's the animal fat in milk which triggers the growth of cancer cells. This implies that meat is equally damaging."At least half of human adults" are lactose intolerant, which offers proof, according to Dr. Kradjian, that"cow's milk was never intended for human consumption." Milk consumption does not protect women from osteoporosis; in fact, it may cause it. The body withdraws calcium from the bones to neutralize the proteins and lactic acids in milk.
Calcium and Osteoporosis: What the Dairy Industry Does Not Want You to Know
Milk does the body good, right?
As every conventional doctor I've ever seen tells me, dairy products are essential for healthy bones - particularly for women as they age. Given that the International Osteoporosis Foundation tells us that 1 in 4 Canadian women over 50 will experience osteoporotic fractures, many of which they will not recover fully from, it seems an important issue to address when we discuss women's health.
Does milk do the body good?
Well, we know that bone health is determined by density. When bones lose density and become porous, we call this osteoporosis. This loss of bone density leads to fractures that can be debilitating and even fatal, often affecting essential bones like the hip and the spine. And, in North America, the incidence of osteoporotic fractures is steadily on the rise.
When we look at countries comparatively, as did researchers at Yale University, they found a direct relationship between diary and meat consumption and osteoporosis risk. "The countries with the highest rates of osteoporosis were those that consumed the most meat and milk." It is also well documented that populations (like parts of Asia) that do not consume as much dairy and meat have much lower rates of osteoporotic fractures.
If that doesn't make you reconsider the bone benefits of dairy, consider this:
"Harvard University's landmarkNurses'Health Study,which followed 78,000 women over a 12-year period, found that the women who consumed the most calcium from dairy foods broke more bones than those who rarely drank milk. Summarizing this study, theLunar Osteoporosis Update(November 1997) explained: "This increased risk of hip fracture was associated with dairy calcium. … If this were any agent other than milk, which has been so aggressively marketed by dairy interests, it undoubtedly would be considered a major risk factor.
Yet other studies report that leafy greens more positively affect bone health than does dairy intake. And over and over studies show that vegan children who eat zero animal products have greater bone density than do most meat and dairy consuming kids.
The dairy industry is a multi-billion dollar CASH COW!
It doesn't take a lot of imagination to understand why the public does not get this information from the food and drug administrative bodies or any similar health agency - the dairy industry is a multibillion-dollar cash cow whose influence is bullish to overturn. This is a prime example of why CITIZENS (I refuse to be reduced to a CONSUMER) absolutely have to educate themselves about health issues. Wisdom that past generations inherently knew and passed down has been lost because we are now so far removed from our food supply. While our children think milk from a grocer is normal, my grandparent's parents would have known whose animals it came from if they purchased it. They did not need scientific studies to understand that milk which is homogenized and pasteurized and which comes from mistreated cattle that are fed unnatural feed and medications would not be health-giving foods.
The reasons are complex. First, the milk is contaminated because it has been created by animals that are mistreated and badly fed, loaded with toxins and kept in an emotionally toxic environment. The milk contains bacteria, antibiotics, synthetic hormones, and the energy of a scared, abused animal. Second, the milk contains none of its natural vitamins, enzymes, or beneficial bacteria because it is heated to extremely high temperatures to kill these (commercial dairy is so contaminated with pus and bacteria this has to happen to keep from getting sick from it). However, this process robs the milk of its natural vitamins and synthetic vitamins are added back in nominal amounts to boost health claims. Third, the fat within the milk is broken down into unnaturally small molecules that cause all kinds of digestive distress and allergy related problems because they are not recognizable to our bodies for what they are. They wreak havoc on immune systems and create a number of health problems. Lastly, this dairy is acidifying to the body, as are meat and wheat products, and these eventually imbalance the body to be too acidic. An acidic body is a body that leaches minerals from the bone marrow to maintain pH. Thus, the bones are robbed of density just to survive. Rather than building bones, this food places them at greater risk for osteoporosis.
Calcium alone does not make strong bones!
Another factor in the growing trend of osteoporosis in Canadians is the lack of sunlight we get. There are certain months of the year in Canada where not much of our bodies can be exposed to sun and when we can be exposing ourselves we have been frightened by bad science not to. Thus, we are often not producing the vitamin D levels needed to utilize the calcium that is in the diet. Furthermore, the magnesium that is needed to use calcium properly has largely been mined from the soil and is not abundant in the foods we eat. Thus the calcium that is available to the body cannot be used properly to sustain the bones. Vitamins D and magnesium are both essential for utilizing the calcium we take in. When I tell this to people in consultation, they can quickly become overwhelmed because every nutritional deficit has both a vitamin or mineral to alleviate the deficit and a list of co-factors to utilize that vitamin or mineral. But we don't need to be overwhelmed. We know that whole foods contain many vitamins and minerals which work together synergistically in our bodies. Absorbing calcium is as simple as getting it from leafy greens, getting a good amount of direct sunlight (or high quality sunlight bulbs) every day, and eating magnesium rich foods or a supplement.
If one wants to supplement for bone health, the best options are vitamin D3 (I take 2000IU a day), and a combination of calcium and magnesium (either 2:1 cal mag or 1:1 depending on personal needs) along with weight bearing exercises. The best calcium and magnesium I have found is orotate and ascorbate and aspartate following that. Of course, leafy greens and green super foods are excellent sources of calcium, often containing the minerals needed for proper assimilation. Cutting back on meat and dairy and wheat means that the minerals a person takes in can be used for healing rather than buffering a toxic body. My preference for a green product is called Udos beyond greens and I consume it mixed in water twice the day.
Diet
Do's
- Eat a vegetarian diet
- Eat a alkaline diet
- Eat Oats with oat bran
- Eat ground linseed
- Eat an adequate amounts of sprouted seeds
- Consume adequate amounts ofEFA of 2:1undamaged PEFA omega-6 and undamaged PEFA omega-3 blend.This is very important!!
- Eat mainly dark English fruits and vegetables (vegetables that have adequate amounts of Sulforaphane, a major ingredient against cancer).
- Take a regime of supplements, (including bi-carb and sulphur)
Don'ts
- Don't eat wheat
- No refined sugar, (only from fruits)
- No dairy
- No meats
This really is the optimum choice against fighting cancer. As I have stated, the right ratio of essential fatty acids increases the cells absorption of oxygen, and having a more alkaline blood stream increases the oxygen levels in the blood; this then decreases the chances of cells becoming cancerous.
Don't forget- "it is the environment and not the gene that causes most cancers"
My PSA is now negligible, I heal much faster, my skin is softer, my sex life has returned, my joints are suppler even my nails are growing more rapid.
Now you can take advantage of thisinformation and get the same benefits as I have done.
I have never felt better!
