Can food affect our survival from cancer?  Can food be a predictor of our chances of getting cancer. 

There is more and more research available that states we are deficient in certain vitamins and minerals.  The data over time will help all of us know for sure what areas we need to seriously look at and change our habits.

One such area is our omega 3’s.  It has been shown that since the changes in our fats in our diets after 1945, we have seen increases in cancer.  They now know that the balance between omega 6 and omega 3 is out of whack.  Wth Animals fed on grasses, we were getting omega 3’s.  Then the change to soy and corn fed animals with see an increase in omega 6 and a deficiency in omega 3.

Now some doctors will recommend increasing with foods or supplements omega 3.

Now I have heard 2 times in 3 days the same message.  This is a message for all of us to take notice.

Does vitamin D deficiency contribute to cancer?

Now most medical doctors feel safe recommending vitamin D as a supplement because of the research data showing we are deficient in it.  They believe this is one of the vitamin and minerals that we are fairly certain are safe for anyone.

They are seeing a link in this deficiency to some cancers.  Here is an excerpt from a news report this week. 

“This study found that vitamin D deficiency is very common among women with breast cancer, and it suggests that vitamin D deficiency is linked to poorer outcomes in these women,” said Nancy Davidson, director of the breast cancer program at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center and president of the American Society of Clinical Oncology.

We all have a gremlin sitting on our shoulder.  It is that little voice chattering all the time.  It is that voice creating all the drama in your life.  It is that voice

• telling you all the things you did wrong,
• telling you all the bad traits about yourself,
• telling you you are not good enough,
• telling you to go ahead and take another drink,
• telling you to abuse yourself or another,
• telling you you are justified in your anger,
• telling you to try those drugs again,
•  telling you to eat some more………………………………

All the pain in our lives seems to be caused by this little gremlin………………………..

Who is the gremlin any way?   Is it YOU?

When you are so sick and tired of listening to the gremlin and you can’t take another minute of it and you can’t stand to live with it any more, you can decide to divorce it.

Gratitude, appreciation, or thankfulness is a positive emotion or attitude in acknowledgment of a benefit that one has received or will receive.

Dr. Demartini says,
“I count my blessings daily.
My life is a constant stream of blessings.
The more I am grateful, the more I have to be grateful for.
I am blessed and my blessings are infinite.
Everything is a gift. Thank you.” 
 
Gratitude is the highest vibration on the Emotional Guidance Scale  

1.  Joy/Knowledge/Empowerment/Freedom/Love/Appreciation/(Gratitude)

Therefore when we are feeling the worse gratitude is the only place to be.

Every day write down five things you are grateful for and it will change your life.

This is an easy Cancer support tool.

Very important news alert I had to share.

As a cancer survivor speaker, I share my story of healing through natural methods.  The article is about an attack on natural cures for cancer. 

Beware, the author of the following article is quite passionate and his opinion can be attacking and negative which I don’t believe is the most effective approach, but read the facts.

I know some of the facts to be true, because I have lived them!!  I have experienced it, seen it, heard it and heard many other similar stories.  Take what feels good to you.  It is my responsibility to share what I know for sure through my own experience and other information and data revealed to the world. 

Through my cancer survivor journey, I have intuitively known (like all of you) certain things I ate or drank or used were not good for me.  Many times I did not want to give up a pleasure or a convenience.  When is the time we are willing to stop and take notice and change?  Is it when we are sick or our child or grandchild is sick or dying?

Check out the latest on uncovering the plastic toxins……………………..Is it another piece of the cancer puzzle?

Research Links Plastics Containing Bisphenol A to Heart Disease and Diabetes
by Sherry Baker (see all articles by this author)

If you live in the U.S. and eat any packaged foods at all, you are probably also consuming the chemical bisphenol A, or BPA. Now, for the first time, scientists have made a startling discovery about the chemical that could help explain the epidemic of heart disease and diabetes in this country.

As a cancer survivor, one who had Stage 4 melanoma and healed from it, I understand completely that cancer affects everyone in a patient’s life.

Their spouse, children, parents, and friendships are all affected and it can be frustrating and frightening trying to figure out how to deal with it. Even after healing or remission takes place, cancer leaves a lasting impact on patients and their friends and loved ones. Everyone touched by the disease needs cancer support in their time of sickness or adversity to cope with physical and/or emotional changes.

 ”Melanoma is a form of skin cancer in which cancer cells form in melanocytes (the skin cells that make the pigment melanin, which gives skin its natural color). Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer.  When melanoma starts in the skin, usually as a mole, the disease is called cutaneous melanoma. Melanoma is most often found on the trunk (the area from the shoulders to the hips) of men and on the arms and legs of women. Melanoma can also occur in the eye, which is called intraocular or ocular melanoma.” 

As a skin cancer survivor, I used the painless and easy arts and sciences of energy balancing and energy healing to heal myself from terminal melanoma–that is, fatal skin cancer.

I overcame Stage 4 skin cancer through the use, among other things, of natural cancer treatments including energy work. Now I dedicate myself to giving cancer support and facilitating cancer healing to anyone who suffers from this terrifying condition.

One thing I want all people to know is that they need to understand something basic about cancer: everyone in the world can have cancer cells. The question is do you have the body, mind and spirit to kill the cells.  What this means for each one of us is that we can all get cancer under the “right” circumstances. But it also means that we are clearly equipped to deal with and survive cancer through natural healing, too.

Look at all your labels and see how many times you see high fructose corn syrup………….  When I was healing and started learning about what causes our bodies to break down, I naturally had to look at what I was putting into my body.  I found out that most of the foods and drinks I consumed were altered in some way so there was little or no nutritional value.

One of the first products I became aware of was processed and refined sugar.  It is everywhere, in everything.  We don’t even stop and consider what these processes are doing to our food before we put it into our body.  We are trusting others that they are safe.  I found that I could not feed myself or my kids water and refined sugar. Most of the drinks and juices available for our kids have no nutritional value and we have no idea the harm they are causing to their little brains and bodies from all the chemicals and processing. 

 Toxic overload and cancer go hand and hand.  Our bodies are exposed to so many chemicals and toxins each day we are unable to process and get rid of them.  Then our cells and organs take on the toxins and store them in our bodies.  Imagine all these foreign invaders attacking our children and ourselves.  For many years we really didn’t know we were eating, smelling, breathing, and living in all these chemicals.  For years authorities have limited information on the harm these toxins are causing.  Now in 2008, every day we are given more information and data on the toxins we are all exposed to all the time and the potential impact on our health, families, environment and world.  We can choose more healthy options.  To be a cancer survivor I had to choose more healthy options.  (I still choose nonhealthy too……..!!!)

Now it is our choice, what do we want to do about it!!
