The Truth About Cancer – Episode 8

This is a long one, people, and so very worth your time to read. And if you like cannabis, you’ll like this one especially. You may wonder what The Truth About Cancer series has to do with keeping testosterone levels up and being in peak physical shape. Everything is the answer to that. You see, what it boils down to is how we look after our bodies. Whatever we put inside of our bodies on a consistent basis, either makes us weaker, or stronger, over time. When we consistently take in ‘food’ types which we really shouldn’t be consuming, and we’re living in a toxic environment, not moving and strengthening our bodies, our immune system becomes suppressed. This throws our hormones out of whack. The stress hormone cortisol, rises and testosterone levels plummet. Oestrogen levels in men rise – as a result of xenoestrogens as mentioned in my notes from Episode 2. These xenoestrogens or ‘environmental oestrogens’ not only throw our hormones off, but they cause cancer too – breast, colon, pancreatic and lung cancers. Our body is designed to be healthy and self-protecting. Unfortunately, it’s our lifestyles – our modern way of living – that creates the building blocks for ill health. What I loved to see throughout this whole documentary series, is everything they recommend dietary wise and exercise wise, is completely aligned with what I teach and coach people with. So that makes me happy 🙂

The solution to avoiding cancer – to avoiding inflammation (which leads to cancer and most other chronic diseases) – is actually simple. At least, the mechanics of it, are simple. The psychology of making these changes is the most challenging part.  How much do you want to be healthy? Do you have a strong enough reason, or ‘why’ to make the changes?

The mechanics of avoiding cancer means going back to basics and getting tons of micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) in, daily. These come from plant-based foods. Up the healthy fats, down the carbs. It means eating as we’re meant to eat – and avoiding toxins. Toxins come in the forms of sugar (cancer’s prime source of fuel), refined carbs (white anything), preservatives, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, GMOs, trans fats and other nasty chemicals. While sugar is in almost everything these days, including soft drinks and even flavoured water (!!!) we can limit it. We don’t need to completely eliminate it, but we should consider it a treat.  Alcohol doesn’t need to be eliminated, and we can make wiser choices, as suggested in this post.  Red wine actually has a number of health benefits, for example.

Here are my notes from Episode 8:

• Micronutrients inhibit the formation of tumours (vitamins and minerals from sufficient plant-based foods)
• They also inhibit metastasis, formation of cancer cells, growth of cancer cells, new blood vessels that feed cells
• Micronutrients can work at the genetic level of cancer cells and convert them from immortal cells to cells that die – they MURDER cancer cells
• Vitamic C, amino acids, green tea are all anti-inflammatory. Inflammation leads to Cancer
• A doctor talked about 10,000 of his patients on Synergy Treatment (no chemotherapy or Radio therapy) who have had victory over Cancer
• MICRONUTRIENT therapy is THE most effective treatment of cancer (after all, they’re on this planet for a reason!)
• Micronutrients give cancer 2 options: function properly (as a healthy cell), or commit suicide
• Micronutrients go to the core of cancer cells, the DNA
• Nature developed these millions of years ago. They’re not new. They’ve been with us since the  beginning of time
• Case study of one doctor’s first patient: Conventional doctors told him he had 6 months to live. Doctor treatment treated him with micronutrient therapy and the tumour disappeared in 7 months.
• Doctors have been miseducated in nutritional treatment
• “If we are not learning from history, we are sentenced to relive it again”
• This particular doctor had 100 law suits filed against him, lobbied by pharmaceutical companies, dragging him into court rooms. Their one goal: They did not want people to know about this knowledge
• Fortunately, they did not succeed – this knowledge is now out
• Dr Burzynski was dragged into courtrooms for 14 years by the FDA. His antineoplastons treatment saved the lives of hundreds of patients, many of whom were children – who faced death by traditional treatments. The FDA ceased all of his medical records and he never got them back again
• Burzinsky, is a must-see documentary if you haven’t already seen it. It’s mind blowing. Here’s the trailer:

• Dr Cornu-Labat applied to use Dr Burzinski’s treatment to treat a child with a non-invasive, non-toxic treatment to save his life. The application was put ON HOLD – whilst the brain tumour was eating away at the child’s brain and life. The FDA stopped it happening as they claimed the risk was greater than the reward. The risk here was certain death. The child ended up dying of cancer.
• Burzinski documented thoroughly every case and was raided by the FDA. Children are being condemned to death because integrative doctors are not allowed to perform alternative treatments
• Thomas Nevaro, a child, was ordered to have chemotherapy. He had terminal brain cancer. Parents wanted to take him to Burzinski but was ordered to do chemotherapy and radiotherapy first. His parents had no option. The chemotherapy killed the child. On the death certificate it said: ‘Death from toxicity of chemotherapy’
• Dr Burzinski achieved incredible results for people who he treated. A number of times he was forbidden to treat as the reward did not outweigh the potential risk. The risk was certain death, so this conclusion made absolutely no sense, ever.
• FOOD is epigenetic
  • This means our diet can override any genetic propensities
• When we eat the rainbow every day, colourful fruits and vegetables, we absorb tons of phytochemicals that nature provide for us, which have healing and preventative properties
  •   Examples of particularly powerful spices are: Turmeric, ginger, garlic
• It’s easy to make our diet talk to genes
• NATURE’S MEDICINE
  • Our bodies are made from energy of Planet Earth. Molecules and energies are from Planet Earth
  • Pharma wants to cover symptoms
  • Tumour is a symptom
  • Chemo covers the symptom (it never addresses the root of the problem)
• If you’re already on chemo, there are tons of supportive dietary actions you can take;
  • Herbs: Curcumin (turmeric), black pepper, ginger, garlic – and practically every herb is good for us. These are all anti-inflammatory
• Fear of Chemo is side effects. Side effects can be supported with micronutrients and herbs
• Gerson Institute uses coffee enemas and vegetable juicing to detox the liver. Incredibly powerful.
• Dr Edison said: “The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest his patients in nutrition and caring of the human frame (spine) and prevention of disease.” I absolutely love this quote. This is exactly what I am setting out to achieve.
• The only cure for cancer is the immune system.
  • A fight with no army is a fight against cancer with no immune system
  • MEDICAL SCHOOLS DO NOT TEACH NUTRITION  
• Everything on Earth is medicine!!! EVERYTHING!!! Isn’t that incredible?
• CANNABIS & Hemp is a superfood
  • The most useful plant on Earth
  • Hemp seeds are high in Omega-3 fats and proteins
  • THC (the mind-altering component) cannabinoid has anti-cancerous properties
  • Non-toxic
  • CBD cannabinoid kills cancer cells
  • CDC & THC combined can together reverse cancers
    • Solid studies of positive results are recorded for breast, colon, leukemia, pancreatic, lung, thyroid, cervical and brain cancer
    • Cannabis is not a gateway to dangerous drugs but a gateway to health.
    • It should be legalised, regulated and taxed so it can be used by the general population
  • At least 100,000 people die every year from known side effects of drugs. These are side effects listed on the drugs. Taken correctly, people die from these side effects every year. In fact, this statistic was 106,000 people as put forward by the amazing food documentary, Food Matters.
• If you eat something that you can’t pronounce, the chances are that it’ll harm your body
  • This accounts for 90% of what we find in our grocery stores (!!!)
• The ketogenic diet is a superior treatment for cancer treatment. (This is when your body chooses fat to fuel the cells, for both brain cell function and every other cell function).
  • This is because cancer feeds off glucose – which is from sugar and carbs
  • THE PRIMARY SOURCE OF FUEL FOR CANCER IS GLUCOSE
  • CANCER CANNOT BE FUELLED ON FAT
• Non cancer cells can fuel off fat and glucose
• Intermittent Fasting is a incredibly effective to treat cancer
  • Sugar and glucose will provide energy for 12 hours
  • Fat can last months
  • Shift to a diet that burns fat for fuel, and cancer cells are starved
  • Intermittent Fasting shifts to fat burning mode and is very powerful to gain insulin sensitivity
  • INSULIN RESISTANCE IS CAUSE OF MANY DISEASES!! 
    • It leads to inflammation, type-2 diabetes, type-3 diabeties (Alzheimer’s), obesity
  • Timing of meals is so important
    • If body is consistently given sugar (from sugar and carbs) the body will never shift to fat for fuel
      • Intermittent fasting ups the enzymes to use fat for fuel
  • You are already insulin resistant if you are overweight or obese, if you have high blood pressure, diabetes or on a statin drug.
  • 70-80% of the population suffers from one or more of these conditions
  • How to test? If fasting insulin is low, then you’re good. That means, less than 3. If it’s over 5, you’re high risk
  • Strategy: Focus on timing of food. Don’t eat for at least 3 hours before bed as you don’t need energy to sleep
  • High quality fats are: macadamia and pecan nuts, coconut oil, avocado, coco butter, olives, olive oil
  • Horrific forms of fats (trans fats) are: vegetable oils (in most processed foods and breakfast cereals), peanut oil, canola oil ->>> ALL INFLAMMATORY WHICH MAKE  CANCER CELLS GROW FASTER
• FASTING & OVERCOMING CANCER
  • Cancer cells don’t take heat
  • Cancer cells need to be fed – they can’t be starved
  • Fasting eliminates fuel for cancer
  • Hypothermia treatment is a treatment that heats the cancer cells to kill them.
  • Intermittent Fasting and hypothermia treatment is a great combination to kill cancer cells
• If you say “I can’t afford to eat organic food” buy in volume to save money. It’s also an investment into your health, so you won’t have to fork out the medical bills later on (if you’re in the US)
• Organic produce is a far more cost-effective cancer-avoiding drug
