I found Little Things a resource for understanding cancer.
I also found Jeff Tomczek and The Things I Wish I Were Told When I Was Diagnosed With Cancer
And then I found some hope at Gliobalstoma Brain Tumor Survivor
What Cheryl said woke me up. She wrote, "The bottom line - don’t give up hope. You are not a number in the statistics! Don’t listen to the doctors if they tell you to go home and die. Plan to live and enjoy each second you have. Lean on God for strength and peace, He will always be there for you."
What came next was a stream of information about cancer cures, what to do and what not to do. But the very best came from one of my dearest friends who recently lost her mother to cancer. I knew she had been researching for a long time. She and her family are very health conscious. I asked for her permission to post the letter she wrote in response to me request. My hope is that anyone searching, will find this helpful.
The letter below was written by Brooks Perkins titled My Thoughts on Cancer
Hi
I
have been working on this for a long time. I know it is a lot to read,
hopefully it is not too overwhelming and you are able to, pick through
what interests you. Let me know if I can help in any way or answer any
questions you might have. Please know I put this together to help out of
love and concern. I love you! After loosing my mom to cancer and now
also learning that some of my very close friends and family are battling
cancer here is some information I would like to share with you.
Disclaimer Statement:
I
am NOT a doctor. I am a concerned, educated individual with a desire to
inform and promote healthy life! In the lists below are suggestions to
do in addition to what is suggested by your doctor. My intention is to
empower you. You know your body better than anyone else! Do some or all
of these things. It's up to you. You should know all of your choices
about health before making any major decisions and know that there is
power in being informed and educated. Don't be afraid to ask questions
and know there needs to be a balance between health conscience "home
remedies" alternative medicine and conventional medicines.
Here are my cancer dos and don'ts
DOs
Turkey Tail Mushroom
Clean water - Clean air - Clean eating
Fresh Juice - organic, fruit and vegetable juice, drink straight from juicer
Vitamin D3 - tons of it
Turmeric
Vegetables
Pro Biotics
Wheat Grass
Flaxseed Oil
Low Stress and Exercise
ALSO...Read and research what these things really mean:
Organic
GMO
The things that I would DO (To prevent cancer or help fight cancer if you have it)
Turkey Tail Mushroom - do if you have cancer to help fight!
If
I was going to tell you one thing it would be this! If you're not going
to do anything else...not make any changes to your current lifestyle DO THIS in addition to what you are already doing.
YouTube video link:
They are already giving cancer patients Turkey Tail Mushroom as a mainstream cancer treatment protocol in Japan.
Take triple the dose everyday that is directed on the bottle. It helps boost your immune system to fight the cancer cells.
You can also buy it at health food stores...like whole foods or sprouts.
To prevent cancer
Clean Water
RO SYSTEM
Drink a lot of water... good, pure, clean water.
I
would get an RO system for your drinking water. The Reverse Osmosis
water filter is the best. The filter on your refrigerator or
an attached filter to your faucet are not good enough. Use this RO water
for your ice too.
Clean Air
I
think this one is obvious, but maybe not. Stay away from toxins! No
Cigarette smoke. Use air-filters if you think you are breathing in
contaminated air on a regular basis.
Clean Eating
You
are what you eat! If you eat great then your body feels .... If you eat
like crap then your body feels like .... It's an equation. Doesn't mean
everything needs to be organic, but there are some things that SHOULD
be. (The dirty dozen: What you should eat organic link below) Also
read labels, do you know and understand the ingredients and what they
are for? What they will do to your body?
Freshly juiced Juice
BREVILLE JUICER
I would juice every single day organic carrots,
celery, apples, kale and collard greens at least and know that you can
juice so much more. Juicing provides a quick way for you to consume a
large amount of vitamins and nutrients from fruits and vegetables and
also a way to consume some fruits and vegetables you might not otherwise
eat. Juicing should NOT be done in place of food only in addition to
eating meals AND fruits and vegetables.
Vitamin D
It's
a good idea to have your vitamin D levels checked. You might think, "I
live in a sunny place, my vitamin D is fine." NOT so. Optimal levels are
from 30-100 with average running at about 60 but most people I've talked
to after having vitamin D levels checked are at >40. If you are low
in vitamin D >40 you should be taking at least 100k IUs a week and
I'm not joking! Once your levels are low it is very hard to get them
back up to optimal levels. There are many many stories about Vitamin D
and its health benefits. I encourage you to read about them.
Eat Veggies and Tumeric
It
is now recommended to eat broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts
and Turmeric to help your body fight the cancer. It can help!
PROBIOTICS
- Everything starts in the GUT! Just read the article PLEASE
WHEATGRASS
Some helpful articles are found when you google, "wheatgrass and fighting cancer"
FLAXSEED OIL
Flaxseed Oil is an amazing source of Omega 3 oils and helps decrease inflammation in the body.
LOWER YOUR STRESS AND EXERCISE
Please
RELAX! Get a massage, go for a walk and smell the roses. Also DO low
impact exercise such as Thi Chi, Yoga and/or walking.
I
have one word for you EXERCISE! Do something... walk, jog, swim, bike,
skip, jump rope, yoga, weight lift, something, do it, JUST DO IT! It
helps every aspect of your life!
These are my DO NOTs
DO NOT (To prevent cancer and help fight cancer if you have it)
Sugar
Fake Sugars (Aspartame, Saccharin, Suclarose, and others found in diet soda)
MSG
Red meat
Pork
Questionable Fish
Antipersperants
Alcohol
Cigarettes
This is the
part where people raise their eyebrows, roll their eyes and shake their
heads and tell me I don't know what I'm talking about. Again, this is
what I have chosen to change in my life. It's here in these notes with
purpose, to give you information and hopefully inspire you to further
educate yourself. Also it's not that you can't ever do these things ever
again, or you can't ever ingest them again, instead ingest them less frequently, if
you ARE in fact now currently doing them. (Here's my 2 cents...if you
are smoking, please, please, please stop! It can only lead to harming
your body.)
SUGAR
Large
quantities of sugar leads to diabetes and diabetes increases your risk
of cancer. There are long time studies that prove that diabetes
and obesity increase the risk of cancer. Some even suggest that sugar
feeds cancer cells.
FAKE SUGARS OR SUGAR SUBSTITUTES (Aspartame, Saccharin, Suclarose, and others found in diet soda)
There are
many studies done on sugar substitutes. Some are very harmful to you
with use over time. Here are my suggestions for sugar
substitutes: Stevia, Xylitol, and Coconut Palm Sugar. All of these work
to benefit the body instead of contaminating the body. If all else
fails use real sugar, just keep it to a minimum.
MSG AND GENETICALLY MODIFIED
You will do your body a huge favor to avoid any artificial flavoring or genetically modified products.
RED MEAT AND PORK
There
are so many facts about meat consumption it's too overwhelming to type!
Large animals like cows and pigs live a long time when you compare
their lifespan to a fish or bird. Everything a cow or pig eats or is
given through injections is then stored in their body (muscles, fat,
bones, milk) and then add this up throughout their whole life. Then they
are butchered, sent to market and we eat them. When we eat them we are
eating everything they ate along with all medicines and hormones
administered to them and pesticides they have ingested from their food
not to mention everything else put on the meat after it is butchered to
keep it from going bad before it reaches out lips... preservatives (to
preserve the meat for longer than normal) antibacterial sprays (to ward
off bad bacteria...e.g. e coli or salmonella) bleach, radiation... ok
now I'm just sounding crazy, right? If you're gonna eat meat, eat
poultry and then choose organic, grass fed, non-GMO. Watch out for words
like "Natural" or "Healthy" on packaging only there to mislead you.
QUOTE: "When
cancer researchers started to search for links between diet and cancer,
one of the most noticeable findings was that people who avoided meat
were much less likely to develop the disease." FROM THIS ARTICLE
QUESTIONABLE FISH
This is so
unfortunate! Fish is awesome! It is full of amazing health benefits,
but...fish is a product of a very contaminated ocean...radiation,
(Japan) oil spills and constant pollution. If you're going to eat fish
be sure to confirm the source of the fish. Also be aware of mercury contamination in fish, more specifically tuna.
I'm going to let you look these 3 next things up and draw your own conclusion.

ALCOHOL and cancer (and chemotherapy)
