The Correct Way of Eating Fruits

WARNING TO ALL WOMEN!!

REMEMBER! NEVER NEVER NEVER WEAR THE SAME PAD FOR MORE THAN 3 HOURS!!! !

Check the labels of the sanitary pads or tampons that you are going to buy the next time and see whether you spot any of the familiar signs stated in this email. No wonder so many women in theworld suffer from cervical cancer and womb tumors. Have you heard that tampon makers include asbestos in tampons? Why would they do this? Because asbestos makes you bleed more, if you bleed more, you're going to need to use more. Why isn't this against the law since asbestos is so dangerous? Because the powers that be, in all their wisdom (not), did not consider tampons as being ingested, and, therefore, didn't consider them illegal or dangerous.

This month's Essence magazine has small article about this and they mention two manufacturers of a cotton tampon alternative. The companies are: Organic Essentials @1-800) 765-6491 and Terra Femme @(800)755-0212.

A woman getting her Ph.D. at University of Colorado at Boulder sent the following: 'I am writing this because women are not being informed about the dangers of something most of us use: tampons. I am taking a class this month and I have been learning a lot about biology and women, including much about feminine hygiene. Recently we have learned that tampons are actually dangerous (for other reasons than TSS). I'll tell you this - after learning about this in our class, most of the females wound up feeling angry and upset with the tampon industry, and I for one, am going to do something about it To start, I want to inform everyone I can, and email is the fastest way that I know how HERE ! IS THE SCOOP:

Tampons contain two things that are potentially harmful: Rayon (for absorbency), and dioxin (a chemical used in bleaching the products). The tampon industry is convinced that we, as women, need bleached white products in order to view the product as pure and clean. The problem here is that the dioxin, which is produced in this bleaching process, can lead to very harmful problems for a woman. Dioxin is potentially carcinogenic cancer-associated) and is toxic to the immune and reproductive systems. It has also been linked to endometriosis and lower sperm counts for men. For both sexes, it breaks down the immune system.

Last September, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reported that there really is no set 'acceptable' level of exposure to dioxin given that it is cumulative and slow to disintegrate. The real danger comes from repeated contact Karen Couppert 'Pulling the Plug on the Tampon Industry'). I'd say using about 4-5 tampons a day, five days a month, for 38 menstruating years is 'repeated contact', wouldn't y! our? Rayon contributes to the danger of tampons and dioxin because it is a highly absorbent substance. Therefore, when fibers from the tampons are left behind in the vagina (as usually occurs), it creates a breeding ground for the dioxin. It also stays in a lot longer than it would with just cotton tampons. This is also the reason why TSS (toxic shock syndrome) occurs.

WHAT ARE THE ALTERNATIVES? Using feminine hygiene products that aren't bleached and that are all cotton. Other feminine hygiene products (pads/napkins) contain dioxin as well, but they are not nearly as dangerous since they are not in direct contact with the vagina. The pads/napkins need to stop being bleached, but, obviously, tampons are the most dangerous. So, what can you do if you can't give up using tampons?

Use tampons that are made from 100% cotton, and that are UNBLEACHED. Unfortunately, there are very few company! as that make these safe tampons. They are usually only found in health food stores. Countries all over the world (Sweden, Germany, British Columbia, etc.) have demanded a switch to this safer tampon, while the U.S. has decided to keep us in the dark about it. In 1989, activists in England mounted a campaign against chlorine bleaching. Six weeks and 50,000 letters later, the makers of sanitary products switched to oxygen bleaching (one of the green methods available) (MS magazine, May/June 1995).

WHAT TO DO NOW: Tell people. Everyone. Inform them. We are being manipulated by this industry and the government, let's do something about it! Please write to the companies: Tampax(Tambrands), Playtex, O.B., Kotex. Call the 800 numbers listed on the boxes.

Let them know that we demand a safe product ALL COTTON UNBLEACHED TAMPONS. AND FOR THOSE OF US WHO USE SANITARY NAPKINS/PADS: IF u ever wondered what were the ingredients that made popular brands so "free! and light and carefree", well here's the bit: The material that makes the pad so paper THIN, is cellulose gel. YEap, it's not even cotton!!!!!! DO NOT wear the same pad for more than 3 hours of a maximum!!! After this duration, the genital area is prone to bacterial action and may result in cervical cancer or other complications!!!!!!!!!!

REMEMBER! NEVER NEVER NEVER WEAR THE SAME PAD FOR MORE THAN 3 HOURS!!!!

Canser Update : News from John Hopkins

After years of telling people chemotheraphy is the only way to try and eliminate cancer, John Hopkins is finallly starting to tell you that there is an alternative way.

1. Every person has cancer cell in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.

2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.

3. When the person's immune system is strong, the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.


4. When a person has cancer, it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.

5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strenghten the immune system.

6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapid-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastro-intestinal tract etc and can cause organ damage like liver, kidney, heart, lungs etc.

7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.

8. Initial treatment with chemotheraphy and radiation will often reduce tumor size, however prolonged use of chemotheraphy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.

9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotheraphy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed,hence the person can succumb to various
kinds of infections and complications.

10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells tomutate and because resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.


11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply. CANCER CELLS FEED ON :

a. SUGAR is a cancer feeder. By cutting off sugar, it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like Nutrasweet, Equal, Spoonful etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka Honey or Molasses but only in a very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in colour, better alternative is Bragg's Aminos or Sea Salt.

b. MILK causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus, by cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soya milk, cancer cells are being starved.

c. Cancer cells thrive in an ACID ENVIRONMENT. A meat-based diet is acidicand it is best to eat fish and a small portion on chicken rather than BEEF or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics growth hormones and parasites which are all harmful especially to people with cancer.

d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetbles and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a littlel fruits help pun the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes and are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells drink fresh vegetables juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperature of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).

e. Avoid coffee, tea and chocolate which have HIGH CAFFEIN. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties. Water: best to drink is purified water or filtered water, avoid using tap water as in contain toxins and heavy metals. Also avoid distilled water as it is acidic.



12. Meat Protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become purified and leads to more toxic buildup.

13. Cancer cell's 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.

14. Some supplements build up the immune system (eg : anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals etc), to enable the body's own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis or programmed cell death; the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted or unneeded cells.

15. Cancer is a disease of the MIND, BODY and SPIRIT. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, unforgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment.

LEARN TO HAVE A LOVING AND FORGIVING SPIRIT and

LEARN TO RELAX AND ENJOY LIFE..

16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Excercising daily and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. OXYGEN THERAPHY is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.
