I received this cancer email thing from Eirene, and so I will TRY TO ABSTAIN FROM:

- Sweet stuff (not a BEEG problem. I like unsweetened stuff......... I think)

Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells.

- Milk (NOOO! MY HOPES OF GROWING TALLER...!!)

Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting it with unsweetened soya milk, cancer cells are being starved. (Good! I like soya milk!)

- Beef and pork (and also maybe sour stuff)

Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. (!!!!! ...Is that a reference to my constant sour-stuff intake?!) A meat-based diet is acidic (OH.) and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock anitibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat, it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.

- Tea and chocolate (okay. i can handle that. I just want my sour plums :))

Avoid coffee, tea and chocolate, which have high caffine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties.

- Distilled and tap water (sure. the last time i drank tap water was in Sec 3 adventure camp anyway. unless you count the water coolers in school. btw, I think drinking tap water is quite disgusting. drinking clean water from a day before is at least better than tap water.)

Best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.

- Anger, unforgiveness and bitterness (no comment. so PC.)

Cancer is a disease of the body, mind and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, unforgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stessful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.

- Not exercising daily (okay. DIFFICULT. the pig-syndrome kicking in. heh.)

Cancer cells cannot thrive in a oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.
