Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins:

Johns Hopkins 最新癌症研究报告（部分）:

1. Every person has cancer cells in thebody . These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they havemultiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there areno mor! e cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the testsare unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached thedetectable size.每一个人身上都带有癌细胞，癌细胞是无法在一般检查时被检查出来的，除非癌细胞扩增至几十亿个数量。所以每当病患治疗到一个阶段后医生会告诉病患其体内已无癌细胞时，所指的是其体内癌细胞数量已缩小到仪器无法侦测出来的数量。

2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to morethan 10 times in a person's lifetime.在每个人的生命期裡，癌细胞都会出现6至10次。

3. When the person's immune system isstrong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying andforming tumors.当人体免疫系统强时，癌细胞是会被摧灭的，同时免疫系统强是能抑制肿瘤形成及扩增。

6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning therapidly-growing cancer cells and al! so destroys rapidly-growing healthy cellsin the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage,like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.化疗不只能毒杀快速增长之癌细胞，亦会一併消灭骨髓及胃肠道内之健康细胞，同时造成器官衰竭；如：肝脏、肾脏、心脏及肺脏等等。

7. Radiation while destroying cancer cellsalso burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.放射治疗在摧毁癌细胞时，亦会灼伤健康细胞、组织及器官。

8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy andradiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapyand radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.

初期化疗及放射线治疗是很容易将肿瘤面积缩小到某一程度，然而再延长上述疗法并不能造成肿瘤完全消除。

9. When the body has too much toxic burdenfrom chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised ordestroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections andcomplications.

化疗及放射线治疗会让体内存有大量毒素而危及或摧毁免疫系统，因而导致病患易于感染及病发症。

10. Chemotherapy and radiation can causecancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgerycan also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.化疗及放射线治疗会造成病患癌细胞突变及产生抗体而变得难以摧毁，而手术则易使癌细胞扩散至其它部位。

4. When a person has cancer it indicatesthe person has nutritional deficiencies . These could be due to genetic,butalso to environmental, food and lifestyle factors.当人被发现有癌症时，它意谓这个病患是有大量营养缺乏；这可能是由于基因、环境、食物及生活方式等因素造成的。

5. To overcome the multiple nutritionaldeficiencies, changing diet to eat more adequately and healthy, 4-5 times/dayand by including supplements will strengthen the immune system.如何克服营养缺乏，那就要改变饮食及多进用增强免疫系统之食物。

11. An effective way to battle cancer is tostarve the cancer cells by ! not feeding it with the foods it needs tomultiply.一个有效的击溃癌细胞之方式是不供给癌细胞繁殖所需之食物，即是饿死癌细胞。

*CANCER CELLS FEED ON:

癌细胞以何为食物

a. 糖是癌的食物，若不食糖即删除癌细胞很重要的一项食物供给。代糖如Nutra sweet, Equal spoonful! 等均是由Aspartame组合而成的，都是有害的。较好之天然代糖是Manuka糖浆或Molasses糖蜜，但只能食用用少许。食盐为使颜色变白而有化学添加物，较合适的选择是海盐.

b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus,especially in the gastro-intestinal tract.Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting offmilk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk cancer cells are being starved.牛奶会使人体产生黏液，尤其是在胃肠道内，而黏液正是癌症之食物。因而阻绝牛奶及採用不甜之豆浆作替代，癌症就会在无食物情况下萎缩的。

c. Cancer cells thrive in an acidenvironment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and alittle other meat, like chicken. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics,growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful! , especially to peoplewith cancer.癌细胞是在酸性环境中繁衍的，以肉为基本饮食的体质是酸性的，因而食用鱼类及少量鸡肉是较食用牛、猪为合适的。且肉品均含有家畜抗生素、生长贺尔蒙及寄生虫等，而这些均是对人体的有害物质，尤其是对癌症病患。

d. 以80%新鲜蔬菜及青菜汁之饮食；含全穀类、种子、坚果及少量的水果是有益于体质转变为硷性的，! 剩馀20% 可进食煮熟的豆类。新鲜蔬菜汁可提供活性生物酶，活性生物酶极易在15分钟内被细胞组织吸收进而滋养、增强健康细胞，为取得活性生物酶来增强健康细胞应多饮用新鲜果菜汁（多样蔬菜含豆芽），同时每天进食生青菜（未煮过之）两至三次，因为活性生物酶在40摄氏度时会被摧毁。

e. 饮料必须避免饮用咖啡、茶、巧克力因上述饮料含咖啡因，绿茶是较佳之选择，因为其有抗癌特性。平常应饮用淨化水或过滤水，然应避免饮用有毒的或重金属的水。蒸馏水是酸性的不要喝。

12. Meat protein is difficult to digest andrequires a lot of digestive enzymes . Undigested meat remaining in theintestines becomes putrefied and leads to more toxic buildup.肉类的蛋白质不易消化的，因为肉类的蛋白质需要大量消化酵素消化，未消化的肉质会留残在肠内淨化，而引发有毒物质形成。

13. Cancer cell walls have a tough proteincovering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes toattack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells todestroy the cancer cells.癌细胞壁有很硬之蛋白质包裹，因而节制食用肉类可让多出之酵素去攻击癌细胞壁之蛋白质，而体内杀手细胞则有空间摧毁癌细胞。

14. 部份营养品是能增强免疫系统（如抗氧化剂、维他命、矿物质等等）去驱使自体杀手细胞去摧毁癌细胞，其他营养品如维他命E会使细胞衰亡，或促进正常的死亡过程，即人体正常排除损伤的和不需要的死亡细胞的过程。

15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body,and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be asurvivor. Anger, un-forgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressfuland acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn torelax and enjoy life.癌症是一种心态、肉体和心灵上之疾病，因而能有积极向上的精神是可以帮助癌症战士成为胜利天使。怨尤和苦痛会让身体处于紧张状态，使体内成为酸性环境，所以要学习有一个爱与宽恕的生活态度，同时学习放鬆及享受生活。

16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in anoxygenated environment. Exercising daily, anddeep breathing help to get moreoxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed todestroy cancer ! ;cells.癌细胞是无法在充满氧气的环境中繁衍，所以每日必须运动，同时多作深呼吸以利氧进入细胞层，氧气疗法是另一种击溃癌细胞之工具。
