Medical Information for : CANCER
Please note the following:
CANCER: Not all cancers are the same.
1/3 is curable. 1/3 is preventable.
2 factors of cancer that cannot be
controlled are AGE & FAMILY
HISTORY.
CAUSES OF CANCER:
1. Smoking
is very often the main cause of cancer.
It kills us silently and drains
money from us quietly. There’re 4,000 harmful chemicals (though in diluted
form) in one stick of cigarette. Taking one puff is 600 times worse than
inhaling exhaust fumes from vehicles.
2. Some
foods that cause cancer are :
a. Barbecued Food
b. Deep
Fried Food
c. Overheating
Meat
d. Food that is high in fat causes our
bile to secrete acid that contains a chemical which is a
promoter of cancer cells
e.
Food that contains preservatives,
too much salt or nitrates, e.g. Canned food, Salted egg & veggies,
sausages, etc.
f.
Overnight Rice (where
Aflatoxin is accumulated)
g.
Food that is low in fibre : Our body needs 25gm of both soluble
& insoluble fibre daily. We must drink at least 1.5 litres of plain water a
day.
h.
Contaminated Food (e.g. moulded
bread causes our body to secrete toxins that may eventually lead to liver
cancer in the long run. Never eat bread that is kept in room temperature for
more than 2 days especially in a humid weather.)
3. Types
of fat and which is the best?
Highly
Recommended for Health :
a. Olive Oil - It
does not absorb in our body.
b.
Fish Oil - Omega 3 (contained in
NI’s Circulytes) has poly-unsaturated fat. It’s good for our brain cells.
c. Peanut Oil - It contains Vitamin E.
A small dosage is recommended only.
4. Not
Recommended for Health
a.
Vegetable Fat - Palm oil is worse
than coconut oil. It is high in cholesterol and highly unsaturated.
b.
Coconut Oil - It has saturated
fat.
5. Specific
Food & Beverages
a. Egg when eaten too much can cause High Colon Cancer, Risk
Ovary Cancer, Prostate Cancer.
b.
Cabbage is highly recommended
for health reason.
c.
Tomato is best eaten raw with a
bit of olive oil for better absorption. Other alternative is to take tomato
sauce.
d.
Coffee is good because it contains
2 anti-oxidants. Inhale coffee aroma for half each day is equivalent to eating
2 oranges a day. However, the residue of over-burned coffee is extremely bad
for health. It can cause cancer.
e.
Tea, as long as it is in its original tea leaves and not processed
into BOH or Lipton packets, it is good for health. Tea contains 30
anti-oxidants. Recommended dosage is cups a day.
