Today’s article is written by a friend of mine, Mauris Emeka.  Mauris has given me permission to reprint the following article in its entirety. Mauris is a very good author, and I encourage you to really take the time to read what he says here. He hits the nail on the head! 

Cancer — a Paradigm Shif

        Statistics are often presented attempting to show that progress is being made in the battle against cancer. But regardless of how the numbers are presented, the bottom line is that cancer (in all of its forms) is fast overtaking heart related diseases as the number one cause of death in America. One hundred years ago one out of 33 people were diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Today one person out of three will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, and that ratio continues to grow. Cancer is affecting more and more people and at ever younger ages.

          The malignant tumor commonly referred to as cancer is in reality an indication of a process within the body that has gone amiss — a malfunctioning process that needs to be halted.  Removing the tumor symptom (whether it’s done with surgery or with drugs) does not stop the process that caused the tumor to appear in the first place. In fact, eliminating the tumor is similar to swatting mosquitoes when what is needed is to eliminate the nearby swamp that breeds the mosquitoes.  The good news is that, given the right commitment to dietary and lifestyle changes, it is possible to eliminate the ‘swamp’ — e.g., the malfunctioning process that gives rise to cancerous tumors. With cancer it is not enough to merely focus on the effect. Instead, the major concern needs to be on the cause of this disease at the cellular level. To be sure, there needs to be a paradigm shift in the way we think about and respond to cancer.

Consider the following well-researched information as a starting point:

I.   Change the environment in your body to make it a lot less acidic and more alkaline.  Cancer thrives in an acid environment; and on the other hand your body functions best when its major fluids and most internal organs are slightly alkaline.  Remember to drink enough water during the day, and try to drink water that is slightly alkaline. 

II.  Eat less cooked foods and a lot more live plant-based foods, especially a variety of deeply colored fruits and vegetables. In addition to excellent nutrition they are high in fiber, rich in enzymes that facilitate digestion, and they insure a healthy acid/alkaline pH balance.

III. Make an effort to greatly strengthen the immune system, because it is our primary defense against cancer.

IV. Remember to consume some foods each day that reduce inflammation, because inflammation adversely affects the immune system as well as the acid/alkaline balance in the body. Turmeric spice, aloe vera gel fresh from the aloe leaf, and fermented soy — these are excellent anti-inflammatory foods.

V.   Do things that cause more oxygen to be introduced into your body at the cellular level, because cancer cannot thrive where there is an abundance of oxygen.  (Dr. Otto Warburg, a German scientist, won the Nobel prize in 1931 for discovering that cancer cells are anaerobic, meaning that they generate energy without the need for oxygen). On the other hand, healthy cells thrive on oxygen, and deep breathing is one way to bring in more oxygen into the body. Also, eat raw green vegetables, and drink fresh squeezed juice from deep green leafy vegetables (like collards, kale, and Swiss chard greens). These greens are rich in chlorophyll, and chlorophyll enhances oxygen circulation.

VI. Cleanse your body. Make a serious effort to detoxify, because it greatly enhances your body’s ability to heal itself. Coffee enemas and ESSIAC tea are especially helpful for internal cleansing. (Tenzing Momo is an herb store in Seattle, WA that sells the herbal ingredients that make up ESSIAC tea).

VII. Take steps to reduce stress. Meditation, prayer, and moderate exercise — all are very helpful.

VIII. Eat primitive, that is, eat a high percentage of raw foods and whole foods. Among other things, this introduces more fiber into the body and insures better bowel regularity (stimulating 3 to 4 movements daily). Otherwise, bowel sluggishness contributes greatly to increased acidic body chemistry.

        In closing, it’s time we stop thinking of cancer as some sort of localized disease, like a skinned knee, and thinking that if we detect and destroy a tumor symptom early enough then the problem is solved. It is not enough to merely manage tumor symptoms. We are dealing with a chronic metabolic disease that cries out for a holistic response, to include fundamental changes in our diet and lifestyle.  It is very important that we begin taking greater personal responsibility for our health and wellness, and commit to consuming a much higher percentage of unrefined, unprocessed, whole, natural, and plant-based foods.

Mauris Emeka has authored and published 2 books about diet and cancer: “Fear Cancer No More”, copyright 2002; and “Cancer’s Best Medicine”, second edition, copyright 2008. See www.cancernomore.com .

By the way, if you do the things Mauris recommends to help eliminate the threat of cancer, you will also be doing the same right things that will help ward off all the other conditions related to an acidic body: acid reflux, gout, colds/allergies, intestinal disorders, etc.

Cancer & Disease

Most Researchers Will Agree that Diseases are Preventable. You do NOT have to become a Statistic!

 Dr. Otto Warberg (Nobel Prize Winner, 1932) stated that “Cancer is caused by the lack of oxygen and the fermentation of sugars.” This is due to a low pH acidic environment.

Believe it or not, the kind of water you drink could be the single most important measure you could take to prevent a multitude of diseases. The water I’m referring to is Alkaline Ionized Water. By drinking alkaline, ionized water, you can help counteract the acids in the foods and drinks you consume. By having more balancing pH buffers within your body, you can then increase your chances for maintaining optimal health.

Every day people drinking alkaline ionized water are changing their lives! They’re slowing down the aging process, promoting healthy weight loss, detoxifying their bodies, boosting immunity against disease and increasing the body’s ability to absorb nutrients, vitamins and minerals!

The benefits of reducing your body’s acidity has long been recognized in the medical profession even in the United States. Researchers believe that disease is caused by excess acidity in our cells which weakens all body systems. Caused by our high stress lifestyles, diets and pollutants, it affects virtually everyone. Excess body acidity forces the body to rob minerals [calcium and magnesium] from the body’s reserves in the bones and joints. Once the body’s reserves are depleted the body is vulnerable to bone density loss, heartburn, indigestion …68 conditions in all. A healthy body has sufficient alkaline reserves to balance itself.

Alkaline ionized water is possibly more powerful of an anti-oxidant than any single food or vitamin supplement, because it contains active hydrogen which supplies huge amounts of extra electrons to your body.

Why are antioxidants so important? Charged atoms called “free radicals” damage healthy cells, causing the process of oxidation. It’s what makes cut apples turn brown and iron rust. Researchers believe free radical damage plays a major role in heart disease, premature aging, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis and many more.Antioxidants stop oxidation. There is clear evidence that they counter-act the onset of degenerative disease.

What is all the fuss over drinking lots of water daily? For starters, our bodies are 2/3 water. Dehydration is a factor in many major health problems. Common effects of dehydration can include: low energy, migraines, type II diabetes, hypertension, weight gain, low back pain and colon problems.

This powerful alkalizing, anti-oxidant water provides superior hydration to your cells. Dehydration usually appears to be something else and is treated with drugs instead of water. Proper hydration is critical to good health and vitality. Alkaline ionized water filters [water ionizers] reduce the size of the water molecule clusters, resulting in significantly more hydration per glass.

America is #1…for Colon Cancer and Disease!

This is an area where one does NOT want to come in at first place. Sadly though, recent statistics reveal that at least half of all Americans are suffering from 1-5 chronic illnesses. This alarming situation is largely due in part to the Western diet that full of acidic foods and beverages.

This video examines the colons [through colonoscopies] showing before and after drinking alkaline ionized water and eating a prescribed alkaline rich diet.  

Here are some more facts that are sure to get your attention:

• Cases of Colon Disease have never been more Prevalent. According to the highly reputable Merck Manual, colon degeneration and disease is on the rise. More specifically, the incidence of diverticulosis, a type of hernia, has increased dramatically over the past 40 years. In 1950, only 10% of Americans had this disease, but that number had already grown to nearly 50% by 1987.
• Colon Cancer Kills 400% more People than AIDS. It also kills even more American men and women than breast and prostate cancer.
• Just this year alone, 60,000 Americans will Die from Colon-Rectal Cancer. An additional 125,000 cases of the disease will be diagnosed, as well.
• Up to Half of All Americans have Polyps in their Colon. The majority of these polyps will eventually mutate into malignant cancer tumors.
• It is widely recognized in the medical profession that a healthy & clean colon is one of the most important precursors to good health and that the great majority of body ailments and diseases originate in an acidic and dirty colon.

You have a Choice – You do NOT have to become a Statistic!

Some of the popular uses for a water ionizer are:

• Medium Alkaline Water: Used for drinking, cooking and obtaining the health benefits described above.
• Strong Alkaline Water: Used for cleaning pesticides off of fresh vegetables. Also, with grease-cutting properties strong alkaline water can be used as a mild chemical-free detergent for your fine clothing. It even will break up stubborn stains.
• Medium Acid Water:Used as natural a skin toner. Also used as final rinse water for your hair [to add that extra bounce and shine to your hair]. Also used to water plants [plants love this!]
• Strong Acid Water: Used for killing germs on contact

Imagine the fish that live in this beautiful pool of water. They are happy and healthy, because they are living in a healthy pool of water that’s constantly being cleaned and refreshed. Now think of the cells in your body. Your body is over 70% water. That literally means your cells are being bathed in water. If you drink nice, filtered, fresh alkaline ionized water every day, it’s like giving your cells the healthy advantage that the fish that live in this pool of water have. If you’ve ever cared for fish in a fish tank or bowl, you’ll know how sensitive the fish are to unclean, chlorinated water that’s not at the right pH. The fish are so sensitive to the right water that they’ll die if you put or keep them in the wrong water. Your cells are sensitive too, and the way we see the cell reaction to the wrong water is through sickness, allergies, disease, wrinkles, arthritis, cancer, osteoporosis, failing organs, and so on. Now on top of that add junk-food diets, filled with coffee, soda, etc. What do you think happens to your cells?

Cancer Research, Prevention and Natural Cures 

Water Ionizers are Key! 

This BLOG is focused on the healing qualities of water and how you can provide yourself with the kind of water that has the characteristics necessary for disease prevention, general health and longevity.

Here is a collection of interesting facts, advices, articles, and videos of real research in progress, and my own comments as well. If you know of something that should be included here or have an anecdote to share, I welcome all comments and suggestions [below]. So, let’s get started. Enjoy! And I hope you learn something! 

Dr. Alexis Carrel Concludes Cells Imortal! 

Nobel Prize winner Dr. Alexis Carrel did an experiment [1912-1940] to keep cells from a chicken heart alive and reproducing new cells for 28 years! Chickens only normally live eight years, so these chicken heart cells far outlived the life of a chicken and they could have lived on forever if he wanted. He did this by placing the cells in a saline solution that was the perfect temperature, pH, and nutrient/mineral balance. He replaced this solution daily (cleaning away the toxic [acidic] wastes). Eventually, after 28 years the purpose of the experiment was achieved. The cells did not die of aging they simply stopped the experiment and Dr. Carrel concluded the following; “The cell is immortal. It is merely the fluid in which it floats which degenerates. Renew this fluid at intervals, give the cells what they require for nutrition and, as far as we know, the pulsation of life may go on forever.” This experiment has not been replicated completely since then, but the results lead to the conclusion that cells do not have to age or become cancerous or otherwise diseased and at least one reason they do is because of the acidic wastes which are trapped in the cells. When cells [which are otherwise properly nourished] are bathed and cleansed daily they’re allowed to function properly and they don’t wrinkle or become diseased.

Alkaline Water’s Role in Cancer Prevention: Our cells must be constantly bathed in water in order to be hydrated. Without enough hydration our cell wastes can’t get eliminated and this impedes all cell functions. The kind of water we drink makes a big difference for every living cell in our body. Unhealthy water is acidic and/or full of chemicals, thus will not properly hydrate our cells. Healthy water is slightly alkaline to balance off the excess of acids our bodies must eliminate. Acids in our body inhibit healthy cell functions, while at the same time promote cancer growth and development. Cancers need acids to thrive. Otto Warburg won a Nobel Prize for his discovery that cancer cells can thrive without oxygen. Further research has demonstrated that cancer cannot thrive in an alkaline environment; they must have an acidic environment in order to get a foothold in an organism. Higher acidity levels in cells decreases the oxygen levels in the cells and increases risk for cancer.

This video is impressive research showing the statistical differences between animals given alkaline ionized water verses regular drinking water. It is in Japanese, but translated and captioned in English.  Animal experiments are important, because they are not influenced by what’s been called the “Placebo Effect”. In other words the experimenter just looks at the results the alkaline ionized water created, and not any other effects caused by the mental condition or anticipations of the subject. So, Take a Minute to Watch this Video. It may change your life!  

Alkaline Water Can Also Help You Experience:

• Great taste!

• Exceptional water filtration

• Better hydration for your body!

• Wetter Water!

• Increase the ORP [antioxidant effect] of the water!

• Higher pH of the water to help cleanse body of acidic wastes.

• Get you away from buying and drinking yucky, bad-for-you, usually acidic, bottled water!

• Save you money!
