The Physiology of Cancer Cells I am not going into serious detail about cancer cell physiology, but I am going to cover some considerations you should know. White blood cells (leukocytes) attack and destroy "foreign" cells like cancer. Cancer cells are coated with a protein lining that prevents white blood cells from destroying them. An enzyme is a catalyst, a chemical that allows "food" to be broken down into constituent nutrients. There are many kinds of enzymes that participate in hundreds of chemical processes in the body. The two enzymes most responsible for breaking down animal proteins are trypsin and chymotrypsin. They are not needed to break down vegetable proteins. The body produces these and many other enzymes for such work in the pancreas. All people have cancer cells in their bodies. These cells are normally killed off because trypsin breaks down the protein sheath protecting the cell, and then white blood cells attack the remaining cancer cell and destroy it. Thus, enzymes like trypsin are the body's first line of defense against cancer. Enzymes are absolutely critical to the digestive and nutritional processes in the body. The source of enzymes is FRESH unprocessed food. Examples are fresh vegetables, nuts, berries, grain, fruit, and meat. As long as these foods are fresh, the enzymes in them help us to digest them and convert them into fuel for the body. If the food sits too long in the open air, the enzymes start breaking them down before they enter our body. Enzymes (and bacteria) thus cause the "rot" process characteristic of spoiled food. Without enzymes, the process is slowed down or eliminated altogether. Enzymes can be destroyed by heat. If you elevate the temperature of any food above 137 degrees Farenheit, you will destroy the enzymes in it. This will make the food much harder for your body to digest. That is one reason you should take digestive enzyme supplements if you eat a lot of (or mostly) cooked food. A major problem with cooked meat is that is high in protein content and zero in enzyme content (unless it is rear). It is also highly acidic. This massive amount of animal protein requires the enzyme trypsin to digest. The body can only produce so much trypsin. If all the trypsin is being used to digest animal protein, then little or none is left to break down the protein lining on cancer cells, and the cells start to flourish and multiply because leukocytes cannot kill them. We have destroyed the natural enzymes in the meat by cooking it, and we deprive the body of its precious trypsin supply by ingesting the meat. Now you can see why a diet high in cooked animal protein is carcinogenic. And note this: trypsin and chymotrypsin are defensive enzymes, not digestive enzymes. They are being conscripted into servitude in the process of digesting animal proteins when they should be left to their defensive work of killing cancer cells. Other kinds of foods contain chemicals that can also help destroy cancer cells. This second line of defense against cancer is made up of these compounds called nitrilosides. For example, amygdalin is a nitriloside contained in apricot kernels, apple seeds, grape seeds, grasses, and other foods. Nitrilosides work like this: Cancer cells contain an enzyme called beta-glucosidase that converts nitrilosides into two molecules of glucose, one molecule of benzaldehyde (extremely toxic to the cancer cell), and one molecule of hydrogen cyanide (somewhat toxic to the cancer cell). Normal body cells contain the enzyme rhodanese which converts nitrilosides into food. Only cancer cells contain beta-glucosidase. Thus only cancer cells can convert nitrilosides into benzaldehyde and hydrogen cyanide, and the process kills the cancer cells while it only nourishes normal cells! This is a target-specific reaction. It does not adversely affect normal cells. Over the past few hundred years, man has turned heavily from grains like millet that are high in nitrilosides to processed food that are low in nitrilosides like white flower used to make bread, cakes, donuts that most Americans eat several times a day. Furthermore, livestock used to graze heavily on grasses high in nitrilosides, but now are kept in feed lots where they are fed harvested grains laced with growth hormones and virtually devoid of nitrilosides. Our diets are higher in animal protein (from feed lot beef, pork, and chicken) than at any time in the history of the world, and lower in nitriloside-bearing foods than ever before. Now you can see why cancer is on the increase and why it is so rampant that 3 out of 10 people (according to the National Cancer Institute) will get cancer! What our medical researchers are doing is somewhat backwards and wrong. They should be convincing us to go back to the kinds of food that inhibit cancer rather than finding more drugs that treat cancer. Now you can see why most of their work is in vain, like trying to use a bandaid to patch a hole in the dyke! Perhaps the only real cure (and the easiest cure) for cancer is to prevent it with a diet containing vegetable (but no animal) protein, and plenty of fresh uncooked food high in nitrilosides and enzymes. A highly recommended approach to eating is the Hallelujah Acres Diet by Dr. George Malkmus. It is important to know that nitrilosides must be transported to cells, and facilitated in their work of destroying cancer. Zinc is necessary for nitriloside metabolism in killing cancer cells. Nothing heals cancer in the body in the absence of Manganese, selenium, magnesium, calcium, zinc and other minerals, enzymes, and vitamins C, A, E, and B (including B17 or laetrile) . They are essential to healing and good health. You cannot be deficient in any of these important nutrients and maintain good health or cure cancer. And, the best way to get them is in FRESH UNCOOKED FOOD. If you have cancer, you ought to make sure you eat these foods every day, preferably by juicing them, and get plenty of enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and nitrilosides. Acid & Alkaline Cell Physiology This is a must reading for cancer patients on the importance of eating a balanced acid and alkaline diet. Herman Aihara is a Japanese scientist, and he is one of the founders of macrobiotics. Here is a short section from his book: "According to modern physiology, this is true for all humans, as I mentioned previously. Our body cells are surrounded by fluids which should be slightly alkaline in order to sustain life. If you go jogging or do heavy exercise, you experience shortness of breath, tiredness, and muscle stiffness. This is the result of the production and accumulation of lactic acid, which is in turn the result of the incomplete combustion of glucose. In other words, under conditions of heavy exercise the body is not getting enough oxygen to metabolize glucose. At such times, the pH of the blood will be around 7.26 - 7.27 instead of the normal 7.3 to 7.4. This is an acidic condition of the blood. This kind of acidity is corrected by the body's buffering system, which changes strong acids to weak acids and eliminates them as carbon dioxide (CO2) which we exhale as part of our breath. If the condition of our extracellular fluids, especially the blood, becomes acidic, our physical condition will first manifest tiredness, proneness to catching colds, etc. When these fluids become more acidic, our condition then manifests pain and suffering such as a headache, chest pain, stomachache, etc. According to Keiichi Morishita in his Hidden Truth of Cancer, if the blood develops a more acidic condition, then our body inevitably deposits these excess acidic substances in some area of the body such so that the blood will be able to maintain an alkaline condition. As this tendency continues, such areas increase in acidity and some cells die; then these dead cells themselves turn into acids. However, some other cells may adapt in that environment. In other words, instead of dying- as normal cells do in an acid environment- some cells survive by becoming abnormal cells. These abnormal cells are called malignant cells. Malignant cells do not correspond with brain function nor with our own DNA memory code. Therefore, malignant cells grow indefinitely and without order. This is cancer." |
