Prevent Cancer

AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY AND ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHNS HOPKINSIS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY... Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins 1. Every person has cancer cells 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 strengthen the immune system.  6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-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, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.  7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.   8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.  9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy 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 to mutate and become 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.  WHAT 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 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 soy milk, cancer cells are being starved.  c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little 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 vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that 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 try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).  e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties. Water--best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it. 12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become putrified and leads to more toxic buildup. 13. 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.  14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs 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. Learn to relax and enjoy life.  16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an 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.

Seizing the opportunity

Share...

During a robbery in Guangzhou, China, the bank robber shouted to everyone in the bank: "Don't move. The money belongs to the State. Your life belongs to you."  Everyone in the bank laid down quietly. This is called "Mind Changing Concept” Changing the conventional way of thinking.


When a lady lay on the table provocatively, the robber shouted at her: "Please be civilized! This is a robbery and not a rape!"  This is called "Being Professional” Focus only on what you are trained to do!

When the bank robbers returned home, the younger robber (MBA-trained) told the older robber (who has only completed Year 6 in primary school): "Big brother, let's count how much we got." The older robber rebutted and said: "You are very stupid. There is so much money it will take us a long time to count. Tonight, the TV news will tell us how much we robbed from the bank!"
This is called "Experience.” Nowadays, experience is more important than paper qualifications!

After the robbers had left, the bank manager told the bank supervisor to call the police quickly. But the supervisor said to him: "Wait! Let us take out $10 million from the bank for ourselves and add it to the $70 million that we have previously embezzled from the bank”.
This is called "Swim with the tide.” Converting an unfavorable situation to your advantage!

The supervisor says: "It will be good if there is a robbery every month." This is called "Killing Boredom.” Personal Happiness is more important than your job.

The next day, the TV news reported that $100 million was taken from the bank. The robbers counted and counted and counted, but they could only count $20 million. The robbers were very angry and complained: "We risked our lives and only took $20 million. The bank manager took $80 million with a snap of his fingers. It looks like it is better to be educated than to be a thief!"

This is called "Knowledge is worth as much as gold!" The bank manager was smiling and happy because his losses in the share market are now covered by this robbery.

This is called "Seizing the opportunity.” Daring to take risks!

A REPETITION. BUT STILL ENJOYABLE.
Humour: Logical and Legal

A young Law student, having failed his Law exam, goes up to his crusty old professor, who is renowned for his razor-sharp legal mind.
Student: "Sir, do you really understand everything about this subject?"
Professor: "Actually, I probably do. Otherwise I wouldn't be a professor, would I?"


Student: "OK. So I'd like to ask you a question. If you can give me the correct answer, I will accept my marks as they are. If you can't give me the correct answer, however, you'll have to give me an "A".
Professor: "Hmmmm, alright. So what's the question?"


Student: "What is legal but not logical, logical but not legal, and neither logical nor legal? "
The professor wracks his famous brain, but just couldn't crack the answer.

Finally he gives up and changes the student's failing mark into an "A" as agreed, and the student goes away, very pleased.

The professor continues to wrack his brain over the question all afternoon, but still can't get the answer. So finally he calls in a group of his brightest students and tells them he has a really, really tough question to answer: "What is legal but not logical, logical but not legal, and neither logical nor legal? "
To the professor's surprise (and embarrassment), all the students immediately raise their hands.

"All right" says the professor, and asks his favourite student to answer.



"It's quite easy, sir" says the student. "You see, you are 75 years old and married to a 30 year old woman, which is legal, but not logical. Your wife has a 22 year old lover, which is logical, but not legal. And your wife's lover failed his exam but you've just given him an "A", which is neither logical nor legal !!"

Professor faints !! :) :) :)

How many of our leaders follow this principle?

India Knowledge@Wharton: Could you give an example, from your own experience, of how leaders should manage failure?

Kalam: Let me tell you about my experience. In 1973 I became the project director of India's satellite launch vehicle program, commonly called the SLV-3. Our goal was to put India's "Rohini" satellite into orbit by 1980. I was given funds and human resources -- but was told clearly that by 1980 we had to launch the satellite into space. Thousands of people worked together in scientific and technical teams towards that goal.

By 1979 -- I think the month was August -- we thought we were ready. As the project director, I went to the control center for the launch. At four minutes before the satellite launch, the computer began to go through the checklist of items that needed to be checked. One minute later, the computer program put the launch on hold; the display showed that some control components were not in order. My experts -- I had four or five of them with me -- told me not to worry; they had done their calculations and there was enough reserve fuel. So I bypassed the computer, switched to manual mode, and launched the rocket. In the first stage, everything worked fine. In the second stage, a problem developed. Instead of the satellite going into orbit, the whole rocket system plunged into the Bay of Bengal. It was a big failure.

That day, the chairman of the Indian Space Research Organization, Prof. Satish Dhawan, had called a press conference. The launch was at 7:00 am, and the press conference -- where journalists from around the world were present -- was at 7:45 am at ISRO's satellite launch range in Sriharikota [in Andhra Pradesh in southern India]. Prof. Dhawan, the leader of the organization, conducted the press conference himself. He took responsibility for the failure -- he said that the team had worked very hard, but that it needed more technological support. He assured the media that in another year, the team would definitely succeed. Now, I was the project director, and it was my failure, but instead, he took responsibility for the failure as chairman of the organization.

The next year, in July 1980, we tried again to launch the satellite -- and this time we succeeded. The whole nation was jubilant. Again, there was a press conference. Prof. Dhawan called me aside and told me, "You conduct the press conference today."

I learned a very important lesson that day. When failure occurred, the leader of the organization owned that failure. When success came, he gave it to his team. The best management lesson I have learned did not come to me from reading a book; it came from that experience.

The Top 40 Time Management Tips

1. PERSIST FOR 21 DAYS: When building a habit, don't allow yourself to slip that first time. Slip once and it's easier to slip again.

2. MOTIVATION TO ACHIEVE GOALS: Tell others about your goals. The fear of embarrassment if you back out should strengthen your commitment.

3. PROCESS OF DELEGATION: Delegation is a process whereby a higher authority exchanges a given weight of authority and responsibility or an equal weight of obligation and accountability. First, determine the responsibility, then the amount of authority needed to carry it out.

4. WE CAN'T DO IT ALL: Reserve your yeses for the priorities and say no to the others.

5. MEAL TIME: Arranging all tools and ingredients on the counter before cooking a meal can save between 10 to 27 minutes on meal preparation time.

     6.   TO DO List:   Have a To-Do list. 

7. THE KEY TO EFFECTIVENESS: The quality of your effort will determine the quantity of your results.

8. YOUR WORKPLACE IS IMPORTANT: Workers using good quality adjustable furniture did 10% better at data entry than members in a control group.

9. PACKING TIP: Zip lock bags are handy items to take along on a trip to house cosmetics, medications, foreign change, wet bathing suit etc.

10. VALUE OF PLANNING: Spending 10 to 15 minutes every morning mapping out your day can save up to 6 hours a week.

11. DEFINITION: Procrastination: The art of keeping up with yesterday.

12. HASTE MAKES WASTE: Most women spend half an hour a day duplicating tasks due to haste.

13. DON'T SKIP BREAKFAST: Skipping breakfast deprives your brain of the energy it needs to function at its best.

14. SLOWING THE PACE OF TIME: If you're really enjoying yourself, getting lost in the activity of the moment, time does not progress in equal units.

15. OVERTIME CAN DECREASE PRODUCTIVITY: Overtime was not cost effective since after ten straight hours of work, fatigue sets in and procrastination plummets.

16. WORD PROCESSING SHORTCUT: To change caps to lower case, hold down the Shift key and press F3 with the cursor on the word you want changed. Keep pushing to go from lower case to upper and lower case.

17. LAW OF COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE: You should assign, delegate or outsource any job that can be done at a wage or cost less than you earn.

18. TALK IT OUT: Discussing problems with others eases stress. Perhaps that's why married people live longer than single people.

19. LIMIT YOUR GOALS: Too many goals leads to frustration & stress. Five major goals each year worked well. Limit your goals and maintain focus.

20. EAT LIGHT LUNCHES FOR PEAK PERFORMANCE: People who ate large lunches performed worse than those who had eaten only a sandwich. Alertness and efficiency are at low ebb about two hours after one begins eating lunch.

21. PREVENTING UPWARD DELEGATION: You distribute a policy that staff may interrupt you if a. They have a decision to make that exceeds their authority, b. They require information that can only be obtained from you.c. They are really truly stumped.

22. ON THE ROAD: The average person spends 73 minutes a day behind the wheel. The temptation is to use the time productively with such things as cell phone calls and educational audiotapes. But don't do anything that will decrease your awareness of the road conditions, traffic and surroundings. Safety is a good investment of time.

23. KEEPING IN TOUCH: So you won't forget to send cards to some of your friends and to save writing time, prepare a set or two of pre-addressed, self-adhesive labels before leaving on your trip.

24. A MANAGER'S TIME: If you're too busy to manage, you're too busy to be a manager. Managers must take the time to plan, organize, staff, direct, control and innovate.

25. IT TAKES 21 DAYS TO FORM A HABIT:  When putting time management ideas into practice, give them time. Nothing kills motivation like impatience.

26. REDUCE TELEPHONE TIME: When someone starts to read figures, information or instructions over the phone, ask them to fax or e-mail the information to you instead.

27. RELAX THROUGH READING: Reading takes us away from our problems, giving us a mini-Vacation.

28. THE TIP OF YOUR NO'S: A tip for saying no is to be polite, firm and helpful such as, I'm sorry but I couldn't possibly take on another activity at this time. Have you considered contacting the college about their work experience program?

29. FAMILY DAYS: If you are a working parent and hard pressed to get quality time with your child, consider a family day together periodically, such as on the child's birthday, when you can take a day off school and work and spend the day at the park, zoo or some entertainment center.

30. MULTITASKING ON THE ROAD: It is reported that 71.4% of the drivers in a study were either eating or drinking while driving. 45.7% were grooming, 40% were reading or writing, and 34% were talking on the cell phone. Driver inattention is the number one cause of traffic crashes. So it's a costly way of saving time.

31. FORGET WHERE YOU PUT THINGS?: People with a diastolic blood pressure above 90 often have difficulty remembering and learning new tasks.

32. BIG WORDS WASTE TIME: Keep your writing simple. If your message is not understood, communication has not taken place.

33. MOTIVATION TO GET ORGANIZED: The closer the reward is to the expenditure of effort, the greater the motivation. When getting organized, start by applying ideas that will produce immediate results.

34. PROCEDURES SAVE TIME: A procedure is a step-by-step description of how to accomplish a specific task. If you don't have procedures, make it the responsibility of all staff members to draw them up for the repetitive tasks they perform. You will avoid crises and time loss during absences and facilitate new employee training.

35. DON'T DELAY DECISIONS: If a decision needs to be made, we should make it. They claim that having an acceptable decision in time is better than having a perfect decision too late.

36. EASE INTO THE WEEK: Going at full speed Monday morning after two days of relaxation could stress your heart. You have a one-third greater chance of suffering a heart attack on Monday morning than at any other time of the week.

37. ACTIVITY ANALYSIS: People have a tendency to take on additional tasks during slow periods. This causes problems when it gets busy. Continually evaluate your activities and eliminate those that are unimportant and bring little personal satisfaction.

38. OVERCOMING THE SLOW START: Sometimes the most difficult thing in the morning is getting started. Never go to work without a plan of action for the day.

39. YOU CAN'T DO EVERYTHING YOURSELF: The fact that you can do a job better and faster is not a legitimate reason to do it yourself. Always seek ways to free up time for more important tasks through delegation and outsourcing.

40. HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY: When interrupted by someone asking if you are busy or whether they got you at a bad time, tell the truth. Don't feel obligated to change your schedule unless it's an emergency.

Google is funny...

Just try Google maps for directions from Tokyo, Japan  to  Seattle, WA.
It asks one to Kayak across Pacific ocean.  Really Google?
