MEDICAL INFO : 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. Do not boil – tomatoes
became acidic when boiled.
d. A little 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 tealeaves and not
processed into BOH
or Lipton packets, it is good for
health. Tea contains 30 anti-
oxidants. Recommended dosage is a
cup a day.
