Cancer : Part 1

I've decided to put on hold the 'sugar' posts, and I have strong urge to write about cancer. Yes, cancer, the man-made disease which recently overtook heart disease as number one leading cause of death in most nations. I've posted yesterday, whom my colleague's son is currently suffering from abdominal cancer. I couldn't sleep well that night, I thought about such a young infant who had to go through the painful experience of this life threatening disease. I want to help my colleague, hopefully in any way I can, to save his son's life, and fight off this disease. I hope time is not running out as I will pray for this little boy too. 

In this coming episodes, I will discuss and share a powerful yet nutritional-based therapy called Gershon therapy. I will write about chemotheraphy, radiotheraphy and various treatments as well as how how nutrition can fight and cure cancer. I write write about how organic food, especially vegetables, can cure cancer and also other life threatening diseases. I will also provide information on how to prevent cancer. 

Imagine, a doctor, or oncologist walks to you, and said, "You have cancer". The look on your face, the blank helpless expression, and the thought of how long will you live, comes rushing through your brain. It's frightening, highly depressed,  and you ask yourself, who can you rely to help you fight this disease? Oncologist? Conventional medical treatment? Guess what. Does your doctor tells you that only 3 types of cancer which is considered effective to chemotherapy? The answer is NO! Why? Honestly, I don't think I can tell you the reason behind it, and I do not want to end up in the hot soup. 

But, I can tell you this folks. Only 3 types of cancer, which are effective and respond long term to chemotherapy. 

Lymphoma
Childhood Leukemia
Testicular cancer

What I can say, does all of you know how cancer cells live? How do these cells survive? What do they feed on? Sugar! YES! Let me repeat that again, sugar! And do you know what is the most dumbest thing an oncologist can tell a cancer patient? "You can eat thing you want", said the doctor or so called oncologist. Most oncologist do not like it, if they found out that the patient if using nutritional theraphy with the treatment of chemo or radiation. Does anyone even know, how cancer tumor develops and multiply? How does it all started? 

Oxidative stress(free radicals), malnutrition and toxicity. Yes, these are the main reasons why we develop cancer tumors, from aggressive deadly skin cancer melanoma to women's number one killer breast cancer, we are all facing the risk of getting cancer at any point during our lifetime. If one is born or currently living in year 2005 or later, 1 out of 2 people will get cancer. Yes, 50% rate of getting cancer, and very low chance of surviving it. Sounds scary? Then why are you eating crappy unhealthy food? What's up with the sedentary lifestyle? You expect to be healthy by eating tons of crappy food and just sit down playing video games and watch TV all day? Come on guys, be realistic! 

Let's take United States for instance, they are the MOST obese nation in the world. If you walk in to most fast food(in US)outlet such as McDonalds, you will see almost every customer in the restaurant is either overweight or obese. United States spent a fortune on medical research on cancer, and guess what, the rates of cancer for the last 50 years increased dramatically. Cancer is a 200 billion dollars a year business! It's a huge business and there are a lot of things which the 'pharmaceutical and health authorities' do not want us to know about it. Medical researches spent 50 billion dollars for the last 30 years, wrestling with the complex issue of curing cancer. Now, wait a minute. Shouldn't the rates of cancer goes down instead of up? What is happening here?  

Although decades ago, cancer was considered largely a problem of westernized, rich, industrialized countries, today much of the global burden now rests in poor and medium-income countries. According to American journal of oncologist, any patient who goes through the treatment of chemotherapy for a period of 3-5 years, the chance of survival from the respective cancer, is 2 percent. Yes, 2 out of 100 patients will only live and survive! What does that statistic tells us? 

Let me tell you another shocking fact about one of the common cancers which any of us may suffer from it one day. Liver cancer. If any patient would to go on chemotherapy for this type of cancer, it actually accelerate the cancer growth! Not true? Then tell me, how many people you know in your life, who has liver cancer, and recover after chemotherapy treatment? Another one, pancreatic cancer. Patients have only 1% of success rate from conventional cancer treatment. But with customized diet protocols, patients can achieve up to 35% success rate.  

Almost half the total amount of patients died from cancer, is NOT because they died of cancer itself, it is due to malnutrition during the period when they have cancer. People got cancer in the first place, is because is MALNUTRITION and TOXICITY. Whoever is eating the normal diet which everyone else is consuming, that basically puts your body malnutrition and increased loads of toxins. Period. 

There are people out there claiming that cancer cannot thrive in alkaline environment. I just need to make this clear. It is not true. You have to understand how autonomic nervous system works. Some people belong to sympathetic type, and others belong parasympathetic type. I will discuss more about this in coming posts soon. Stay tuned.

Starve those cancer cells!

Today, I felt very sad and upset. A colleague of mine, Peter, his son is fighting with abdominal cancer, at the age of 2 years old. Peter, if you are reading this, please, DO NOT allow oncologists to continue 'poison' your son's body with chemotherapy. Radiotherapy uses 'burning' treatment, both of these will only burn and poison almost every cells, tissues, organs and systems in the body, including immune system. 

People, let's pray for my colleague, for his son to recover from this dreadful man-made disease, abdominal cancer. Beat cancer with nutrition, eliminate sugar from diet, ensure no MSG (acts as fertilizer for cancer cells), ONLY eats organic whole food. Cancer occurs due to mainly two reasons, malnutrition and toxicity! 

People, there are only 3 types of cancer which are considered effective with chemotheraphy. 

Childhood Leukemia
Testicular cancer
Lymphoma

Sugar: (Part 1) Preview

Everybody loves ice-cream. Tons of people love doughnuts, chocolates, bakeries, soft drinks, and all types of food which is high in sugar. It's heaven for most people, a stimulant, yet very addictive. Why everyone can't get enough of sugary processed food? Let's find out about this addiction and the epidemic which causes whole hosts of chronic diseases including diabetes, obesity, gout, heart disease, cancer and etc.

Sugar is loaded into your soft drinks, fruit juices, sports drinks, and hidden in almost all processed foods from pretzels to cheese spread to yogurts and the list goes on. And now, most of the infant milk formulas has the sugar equivalent of one can of Coca-Cola, so babies are being metabolically poisoned from day one if taking formula.

You don't have to be a scientist or physician to notice the waistline of the people in this country, and most industrialized nations. All you have to do, is stroll through shopping malls, offices, schools, fast food outlets, and even what's in front of you, MIRROR! Sounds familiar? You bet.

Alright. Let's do a bit of sugar 101 lesson before we go into more details and technical about the sugar's devastating effects on health and body. What is sugar exactly? Everyone claims to know about sugar, but do they really know the types of sugar consumed by each and everyone of us? Well, there are various forms of sugar available in food products. Dextrose, fructose, glucose, sucrose are the common forms of sugar. The primary difference between them is how your body metabolizes them.


The primary difference between them is how your body metabolizes them. Glucose and dextrose are essentially the same sugar. However, food manufacturers usually use the term “dextrose” in their ingredient list. The simple sugars can combine to form more complex sugars, like sucrose (table sugar), which is half glucose and half fructose. Sugar alcohols like xylitol, glycerol, sorbitol, maltitol, are neither sugars nor alcohols but are becoming increasingly popular as sweeteners. They are incompletely absorbed from your small intestine, for the most part, so they provide fewer calories than sugar but often cause problems with bloating, diarrhea and flatulence. Sucralose , or also known as Splenda,  is NOT a sugar, despite its sugar-like name and deceptive marketing slogan, “made from sugar.” It’s a chlorinated artificial sweetener in line with aspartame and saccharin, with detrimental health effects to match. Next, we have Agave syrup, falsely advertised as “natural,” is typically HIGHLY processed and is usually 80 percent fructose. The end product does not even remotely resemble the original agave plant. Meanwhile, we have honey, it is about 53% fructose, but is completely natural in its raw form and has many health benefits when used in moderation. I might have left out some of the other forms of sugar, but at least the mentioned above is what I can think of at the moment.

Glucose is the form of energy you were designed to run on. Every cell in your body, every bacterium and in fact, every living thing on the Earth uses glucose for energy. Glucose could be considered as 'neutral' sugar, and do not have so much devastative effects compared to fructose and HFCS. I will elaborate more in details about fructose and HFCS later in coming series of this topic.

I will primarily focus on fructose and HFCS impact for this post, and I will try to break it down in a few episodes. Both of them are the 'bad boys' amongst the whole bunch of sugar family. Has anyone study biochemistry? How about the metabolism or sugar in the liver? Does anyone realise the metabolism of fructose and glucose is different when both of these sugar hit your liver? Yes, this is what I want to share with all of you readers out there. The unique metabolism of fructose in our body, especially liver, and what it will do to us, our health and the truth about obesity, diabetes, lipid problems, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, gout and many other health conditions will be revealed soon in this discussion.

If your diet was like that of people a century ago, you would consume about 15 grams per day, a far cry from the 73 grams per day the typical person gets from sweetened drinks. In vegetables and fruits, it’s mixed in with vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and beneficial phytonutrients, all which moderate the negative metabolic effects. Amazingly, there are lots of  people actually consume more than 120 grams of fructose per day!

Making matters worse, all of the fiber has been removed from processed foods, so there is essentially no nutritive value at all. And the very products most people rely on to lose weight, the low-fat diet foods, are often the ones highest in fructose.

The evidence linking fructose to today's epidemic of obesity, cardiovascular disease, as well as other medical conditions are as solid as the scientific data that connected smoking to lung cancer in the late 1950's. Fructose diet is a new concept in weight loss and disease prevention. Welcome to the revolution. Stay tuned for next post.

Lists of organic food which are worth the money

Some of my colleagues and friends asked me, what to eat and what to buy. Which type of organic food to purchase? They seemed clueless and out of sorts. Well, here are some of the lists of organic food which are value for money for most people. Enjoy your shopping folks.

Apples - One of the highest pesticide contaminated fruits, more then 30 types of pesticides? There are also multiple chemicals found in commercial apples. 

Butter and milk - Dairy cows eat grains that are heavily treated with chemicals, which show up in the milk. Non-organic milk can also contain growth hormones and antibiotics. However, raw milk is nearly always better than organic milk if it is purchased from a conscious farmer.

Cucumber - Ranked top 15th most contaminated food, as it filled with pesticides. 

Grapes - One of the fruit which is loaded with pesticides. But I wouldn't recommend this fruit due to higher glycemic and fructose content. 

Spinach - The chemicals and pesticides used, can cause cancer and hormone imbalance. 

Strawberries - One of the most contaminated fruits of all produce. 

Eggs - Commercial eggs are cheaper, but it comes from unhealthy sick chickens. Growth hormones and antibiotics can cause tons of health related problems. Buy free range organic eggs. 

Chickens/Beef - Great source of protein, always avoid commercial chickens and beef. Animal products tend to bio-accumulate toxins, I strongly recommend organically-raised meats.  

Virgin Coconut Oil - I couldn't find any better cooking oil. 

Miscellanous veggies - It it's possible, ensure all vegetables are organic. Simple as that. 

By the way, not all organic food products are 'beneficial' to our body. Be aware of soy based food products, MSG ingredients, and the labeling content. Most authentic organic labeling must have be   certified by either USDA or other similar organic certification panels. It usually starts with no.9 on the food product. Commercial products has labeling starts with either 3 or 4. Don't get cheated and ensure your money is well spent!

Vaccination: The truth behind it

When I think of children who suffer from autism, when I look at them, I feel sad, yet angry. Why angry? Keep reading, and you will know the reason behind it, the real truth about vaccines and host of other health conditions associated to it. Neurological disorders such as epilepsy, mental retardation, lupus, lowered IQ, hyperactivity, depression, paralysis, blindness, and of course, autism, are some of the long list of health related problems associated with vaccination. To everyone of you reading this post, especially parents, pay close attention to what you are about to discover. 

Do you really know what’s in a vaccine? Does your doctor? And are they truly safe? For some of you, this may be the first you’re hearing about vaccinations’ potential for harm, and their questionable effectiveness. But, please, don't take my word for it. If you do intensive research using the Internet, if you do your homework to protect your kids (that's for you guardians and parents), you will FIND out the facts about vaccines. How about try spending less time playing facebook and  video games, and more time on how you could improve your health and wellness? 

You will learn revealing truths, such as the fact that most pro-vaccine studies are supported by money from the pharmaceutical companies, and hear a medical doctor discuss how a vaccine he gave his own child resulted in autism. Once he uncovered the truth, he vowed never to vaccinate himself or his family ever again. Now, you too, can hear the truth behind the lies you have been told about vaccine safety, right in this post, right here, right now.

Vaccinations are one of the most controversial issues in modern medicine. Vaccines are a very controversial element of medicine. There is nearly universal acceptance by the conventional medical community that they are one of the greatest examples of preventive medicine. However, most fail to appreciate the clear and present danger from many of the toxic vaccine additives like mercury. Mercury is one of the reasons autism skyrocketed in the last 10 years and started to decrease once some of the vaccines eliminated mercury.

Methylmercury has long been associated with serious neurological disorders, demyelinating diseases, gut disease, and visual damage. The mercury in vaccines, however, is in the form of thimerosal, which is 50 times more toxic than plain old mercury. Thimerosal is a much more toxic form of mercury than one would get from eating open-sea fish; it has to do with the difficulty of clearing thimerosal from the blood. Without a complete blood-brain barrier, an infant's brain and spinal cord are sitting ducks. Mercury can then remain for years, like a time-release capsule, causing permanent degeneration and death of brain cells.

Reasons for this include:
  • Injected mercury is far more toxic than ingested mercury.
  • There's no blood-brain barrier in infants.
  • Mercury accumulates in brain cells and nerves.
  • Infants don't produce bile, which is necessary to excrete mercury. 


However, when mercury is removed it is typically replaced with another toxic additive that is frequently just as health harming. Topping the list is aluminum hydroxide. What makes this news even more alarming is that drugmakers are now testing aluminum hydroxide in flu shots for years now. 

Aluminum hydroxide is only one harmful additive among many, think MSG and phenoxyethanol (used to make antifreeze), that are found in vaccines. The aluminum hydroxide used in many vaccines has been linked to symptoms associated with Parkinson and Alzheimer disease. Aluminum hydroxide, which stimulates immune response, has been used for 80 years in vaccines such as those for hepatitis A and B, and the so called 'cocktail' for tetanus, polio, and meningitis.

Read this brief scientific research: 

Scientists discovered the link after injecting mice with an anthrax vaccine developed for the first Gulf War. After 20 weeks, a fifth of the mice developed a skin allergy, and memory problems increased by 41 times. Also, inside the brains of mice, 35 percent of the cells that control movement were destroyed.

I can present to you tons of scientific studies  I've discovered during my last few years of personal research on vaccines. Whoever has not study toxicology or gained in-depth knowledge about toxins and its adverse affects, you hardly know what is putting your life in jeopardy. 

Most of Europe gives very few vaccinations to children under two years old, primarily because of the unformed gut, immune system, and blood-brain barrier. US were hit badly by vaccinations to children as most of the states are compulsory. No exception for my own country, and i'm not surprise by the level and quality of so called' medical and health authorities' professionals here. What happen to FDA protection to people like us? Just look at Jenny McCartney's son's case, I felt for her, and most parents children, who suffered from autism. 

Folks, you have to know this fact. All vaccines are immune suppressing, which means they depress your natural immune functions, leaving you vulnerable to any number of diseases. And this is not even taking into account the vaccine additives, such as the mercury preservative thimerosal(which I've mentioned earlier in this post). Government agencies have set safe levels for methylmercury, but no safe levels have ever been set for thimerosal, because thimerosal isn't included in toxicity studies. Still think you can trust the government or your physician(especially paediatricians) with your children's blood? Besides, most of the vaccines offer less then 50% protection rate. 

Before I sign off, I would like to send a message to all the paediatricians and vaccines makers out there. "People's lives are not test experiments, especially children, stop screwing up our lives and make clean money!".

Magnesium Stearate : Beneficial magnesium in supplements?

Today, I'm going to write an article about magnesium stearate. Although I'm quite sleepy right now, I thought I would write a short post on this substance. For those who are into taking supplements including multivitamins pills, DO read the following. 

Magnesium stearate is not a supplemental source of magnesium but it is a form of stearic acid and is used as a flow agent. The only purpose of it in the supplement is to help the raw materials become more slippery and flow through the machines that create the supplements.

Does anyone even know the source of magnesium stearate? Chalk! Yes, chalk which is used in schools and learning centres. This toxic flowing agent stimulates your gut to form a biofilm, which blocks the absorption of nutrients. It creates a barrier and prevents nutrients from being absorbed in the body itself. Magnesium stearate have been shown to suppress your natural killer cells in the body. It may also in fact be suppressing your immune system if you take large amounts of supplements, due to the filling agents. Thus, you are basically doing the opposite of trying to boost your immune system and provide 'nutrients' to the body. 

For bodybuilders or gym freaks out there, look out for your so called bodybuilding supplements such as creatine monohydrate, L-glutamine, L-Arginine, etc. Avoid this particular flowing agent if it is found in whatever supplement that you are consuming. Read the ingredient list of the product! 

Bottom line, you might think that you are providing yourself with sufficient nutrient everyday, but, what you might not realize, you are in fact doing more harm then good to your body. Folks, if you want actual nutrients, eat organic food! All the high quality nutrients are derived from organic vegetables, fruits and meats, seeds. nuts, eggs, etc. Synthetic nutrients DO not have the actual quality and molecular structure found in whole organic foods. If you really have to get supplements on the market,  ensure no artificial flavors, sweeteners, additives or harmful ingredients. Anyway, if you have been eating healthy and properly, you won't even need all these supplements. Agree?

Pesticides : Health Impact

From the womb to the grave, we humans, our health and diet are influenced by economic interests. What do I mean by that? From agricultural to food manufacturers and chemicals corporations, we are all contaminated and 'poisoned' every single day. I'm writing this series mainly about pesticides, how this powerful toxin can affect our body and health, primarily from the food we consume. All the lies and conspiracies, I feel sick and disgusted. We are all guinea pigs, a long term experiment for whatever chemicals which were man-made synthetically by these corporations, and we are all suffering, getting sicker, fatter, unhealthier and diseases rates are rising dramatically every single year. 

As most of us know, what are pesticides generally. But  do we know what really is pesticide and what are they used for? Do we know how pesticides made our food became less nutritional and very toxic to our health? Whether you live in the US, UK or elsewhere, the important thing to remember about pesticide contamination of your food is that government “allowed levels” do not mean safe levels, especially where your children are concerned.

Example, data collected from developing countries have shown that  women's exposure to pesticides are significantly higher then it is formally recognized, and that pesticides poisoning are greatly underestimated for women. Women's higher proportion of body fat provides greater reservoir for fat-loving pesticides, some of which are hormonally active carcinogens, and associated with breast cancer. Women may also absorb pesticides through their skin more easily then men(dermal absorption). And once the pesticides are in the body, it will resides much longer then in women then men. So, ladies, pay attention to this important information of this post.

Malnutrition can enhance the adverse effects of pesticides. Low levels of protein enhance the vulnerability insecticides. Low levels of protein, can also increase the toxicity level of certain carcinogens. Malnutrition leads to weaker immune system. Malnutrition of a pregnant woman also leads to underdevelopment of an unborn child, paving the way for chronic ill health later in life. These effects can contribute to an increased risk of breast cancer. Besides, men can also get breast cancer but the risk if much lower compared to women.

Pesticides can also undermine the immune system, interfering with intercellular communication, as well as metabolic activities. Some of the types of pesticides include herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, bio-pesticides, rodenticides, etc. The most common used pesticides are organophosphates, chlorinated hydrocarbons, etc.  All these pesticides employ a neurotoxic mechanism to kill insects. Furthermore, most pesticides are easily absorbed through lungs and skin. We've got tons of consumers buying canola oil from the supermarkets, not knowing that it contains pesticidal applications and considered as bio-pesticides. Surprised?

Well, the problem is, I've met people who don't even know what is pesticide is. Shocking? Does anyone even know that pesticides are used in biological warfare? Yes, I said it! Commercial  food such as white rice, fruits, vegetables, eggs, chickens, cows, teas, coffees are contaminated with pesticides. There are long lists of food products which are contaminated with these toxic substances, and protein powder supplements are no exception. We can't get any health from sick cows grazing on pesticide contaminated grass or soil. Period.

So folks, if you are eating a beef fried rice at restaurant of hawkers stall, you have to realize that this meal is quite possibly contaminated with pesticides, as beef and rice are concerned. Eating food which are exposed to pesticides, will cause inflammation within the body, and lead to serious diseases. Pesticides in various combinations are now considered a chief culprit as silent killers of braincells.

For most of the twentieth century, medical science assured us that the placenta connecting a mother to the fetus acted as a foolproof filter, protecting the fetus from toxins absorbed by the mother's body during pregnancy. We now know that this is was a myth. Most chemical substances have been shown to be anywhere from three to ten times as toxic to fetuses and newborns as adults. This contamination can even begin at conception, as a result of the mother's body burden of chemicals, or the father's semen being a carrier for environmental toxins that can be introduced directly into the egg at fertilization.

Let's talk an  example, if your mother lived in a big city, you were exposed to numerous types of air pollutants, pesticides from corner markets or rooftop gardens, and insecticides used in many apartment and commercial buildings. Check this out. An expectant mother breathing polluted air, might cause chromosome abnormalities in the fetus. So, to all the soon-to-be mothers, do take note.

Also, a study from University of Bristol in UK back in few years ago, showed that children whose mothers made frequent use of chemical-based domestic products during pregnancy were more likely to develop asthma after birth. These products include disinfectants, bleach, aerosols, air fresheners, window cleaners, carpet cleaners, pesticides, etc.

Does any women realize that babies in the womb now swim in and absorb a synthetic chemical soup? My point of view, I don't think so (especially for Malaysian women). Disagree ladies? Well, I have yet to meet any pregnant women who is genuinely knowledgeable in health especially when relates to 'preparing' for a new born baby. Mothers who live in industrialize country, have approximately 30% of PCBs in their breast milk. So, to whoever mothers reading this right now, if you concern about NOT exposing your infant or newborn babies to this toxin, please be very cautious. With PCBs, it only takes five parts per billion in a mother's blood (the equivalent of one drop of water in 118 bathtubs of water), to cause permanent brain damage to a fetus in the womb!

Do you wanna know something shocking? When you are six months old, you already received 30% of your total lifetime toxic load of chemicals! Yes, it may sound shocking, but true.
