Chicken Wings - DANGER !!


Chicken Wings - Its Dangerous

Avoid eating chicken wings frequently - ladies, especially; a true story...!

A friend of mine recently had a growth in her womb and she underwent an operation to remove the cyst.
The cyst removed was filled with a dark colored blood. She thought that she would be recovered after the surgery but!
she was terribly wrong.


A relapse occurred just a few months later. Distressed , she rushed down to her gynecologist for a consultation.

During her consultation, her doctor asked her a question that puzzled her.
He ask if she was a frequent consumer of chicken wings and she replied yes wondering as to how, he knew of her eating habits.
You see, the truth is in this modern day and age; chickens are injected with steroids to accelerate their growth
so that the needs of this society can be met. This need is none other than the need for food.


Chickens that are injected with steroids are usually given the shot at the neck or the wings.
Therefore, it is in these places that the highest concentration of steroids exists.
These steroids have terrifying effects on the body as it accelerates growth...
It has an even more dangerous effect in the presence of female hormones, this leads to women being more prone to the growth of a cyst in the womb.
Therefore, I advise the people out there to watch their diets and to lower their frequency of consuming chicken wings!

People, who receive this email, please forward it to your friends and loved ones.
I am sure no one wants to see him or her suffer!

揭開 - 骨質疏鬆症發生的秘密



骨質疏鬆症的發生,其實是鈣質與蛋白質的一場鬥爭!
她已經七十多歲了,平常非常注重身體的保養,
每天清晨除了運動二小時外,飲食方面更力求均衡,
尤其牛奶必定「不少於三大杯」,以攝取豐富的鈣質,
她心想,這樣縝密的飲食習慣,骨質疏鬆症絕對與我無緣。
可是,她到馬來西亞旅遊,第二天一個不小心踩空,
左小腿斷得碎碎的,返國住了二個月的院,
醫生證實:骨質非常脆弱,有「嚴重」的骨質疏鬆症。
像這樣的例子,社會上比比皆是。

大家的觀念總以為每天只要多喝牛奶,
吃小魚乾、燉排骨湯等含豐富鈣質食物,
就不會發生骨質疏鬆症,其實是一知半解。

「乳品委員會」給國人的建議量是每日攝取含鈣量 1,000 毫克最適合,
但奇怪的是,住在非洲仍過著幾近原始生活的班圖婦女,
每日雖只攝取 350 毫克鈣質,竟不曾有骨質疏鬆症發生。
反觀世界上每日攝取含鈣量最高的愛斯基摩土著,
每天都吃魚,含鈣量達 2,000 毫克,是正常值的二倍,
卻是世界上疏鬆症最嚴重的地方。

而美國、英國乳品消耗量最多的國家,疏鬆症也最普遍,
道理到底在那裡?

原來疏鬆症的發生不在於你攝取的鈣夠不夠,
鈣質量的多少並不會影響你得疏鬆症,
關鍵在你能不能「保持」鈣質不被流失。

那麼鈣質為什麼會流失呢?因為國人嗜吃「肉、奶、蛋」等蛋白質含量豐富的食物,
身體內蛋白質太多會造成「酸性」體質,人體一旦酸質化, 身體為了維持平衡,
自然而然地會自「骨骼」中提取鈣質來中和酸性,成為微鹼狀態;
試想,一個人經年累月被抽鈣質來中和,
骨骼中的鈣質每天流失,怎麼會不造成骨質疏鬆症呢?

因此,元凶是「蛋白質過量」,流失了鈣質,而非鈣質吃得不夠。
那麼檢驗一下,我們每日飲食蛋白質真的過量嗎?
根據國科會的建議,人體正常的蛋白質量,
以體重 60 公斤 的女人為例,每天只需 45 公克就夠了(男人約需 50 公克),
以純素食的人而言,輕易就可得到 57 公克,
何況肉食主義者,隨便一塊肉、一個蛋就過量了。

牛奶的含鈣量固然很高,可是蛋白質更高,
所以牛奶喝越多的人鈣質流失更多,
加上「肉、蛋」是高蛋白質食物,骨質疏鬆症不發生才怪,
所以不要怪鈣質攝取夠不夠,正常飲食鈣質一定夠,
鈣質多或少不會造成疏鬆症,蛋白質過量才是元凶。

願大家有正確的認識,如此,骨質疏鬆症才不會找上您 !

癌症的常識 Cancer Updates from John Hopkins Hospital

約翰‧霍普金斯醫院,提供有關癌症的最新消息
Cancer Updates from John Hopkins Hospital

癌症的常識

遠離癌症十六點建議
1. 人體內,多少都會有癌細胞,只是一般檢查無法偵測出,直到癌細胞數量增至數十億時,才會被發現‧醫生說癌症已經治癒,他的意思是,癌細胞數量已減少到無法偵測的程度‧
2. 人生一輩子,癌細胞平均出現六到十次‧
3. 人體免疫系統強壯時,癌細胞遭遏殺,不致於增加,變成腫瘤‧
4. 病人罹患癌症,表示他體內出現多重營養缺陷,這可能是基因、環境、食物及生活方式造成的
5. 改變飲食,添加營養品,可增強免疫系統,改正多重營養缺陷‧
6. 化學療法可毒殺快速增長的癌細胞,但也破壞骨髓、腸胃裡的健全細胞,損壞肝、腎、心、肺等器官‧
7. 放射線療法雖殺死癌細胞,但也燒毀、殺傷、破壞到正常的細胞、組織、及器官‧
8. 化療及放射線療法,初期往往能縮小腫瘤,但長期使用並不能完全消滅腫瘤‧
9. 癌症病人做化療及放射線療法,體內累積太多毒素,免疫系統失靈,或遭破壞,引起發炎及感染‧
10. 化療及放射線療法,會使癌細胞發生病變,產生抗體,很難殺死‧外科手術則會造成癌細胞轉移或擴散‧
11. 一種有效的抗癌方法,就是阻斷癌細胞繁殖所需的養分,使之飢餓至死‧

癌細胞繁殖所需的養分如下 :
a) 糖 ‧癌細胞生長需要糖,阻斷糖的供應,就缺乏主要的養分‧替代糖,如 Nutra Sweet 、 Equal 、 Spoonful等,都含人工甘味劑 Aspartame,有害人體‧較好的天然替代品,是活性麥蘆卡蜂蜜,或糖漿,但只宜少量使用‧白鹽通常添加一種化學物,顏色才會變白‧較好的替代物是無鹽醬油〈 Bragg's aminos〉或海鹽‧
b) 牛奶 使人體產生黏液,尤其是腸胃的消化液‧癌細胞生長需要黏液‧不喝牛奶,而代之以無糖的豆漿,癌細胞就會餓死‧
c) 癌細胞在 酸性環境 中大量繁殖‧肉類食品屬酸性,最好少吃豬、牛肉,多吃魚或雞‧肉類食品含有家畜抗生素、成長賀爾蒙、寄生蟲,這些都有害人體,尤其是癌症病患‧
d) 飲食中 80%包括新鮮蔬菜、果汁、全穀食品、種子、堅果、及水果,這樣有助於把體質改變為鹼性‧其他 20% 可吃煮熟的食物,包括豆類‧新鮮的蔬菜汁提供活性酶 ,容易被吸收,可在 15 分鐘內到達細胞層,使健康的細胞增進生長‧要獲得活性 酶,每天喝新鮮蔬菜汁兩、三次〈大多數的蔬菜都可以,包括豆芽菜〉,並吃點生菜‧ 酶在攝氏 40度〈華氏 104度〉就遭破壞‧
e) 咖啡、茶、巧克力,含有高量的咖啡因,不宜飲用,可代之以綠茶,綠茶具抗癌成分‧飲水方面,最好喝淨化水,或過濾水,避免用水龍頭流出的水,因其含有毒素和重金屬‧蒸餾水屬酸性,也不宜飲用‧

12. 肉蛋白需要很多消化酶 才能消化掉‧腸道內尚未消化的殘餘肉類,會腐化生膿,累積更多的毒素‧
13. 癌細胞壁上覆蓋一層粗厚的蛋白質‧少吃肉,多吃素,就可讓更多的 酶 去攻擊癌細胞壁,使人體內的殺手細胞,去消滅癌細胞‧
14. 若干補品〈如肌醇六磷酸、加拿大護士茶、防癌愛生液、抗氧化劑、維生素、礦物質、必需脂訪酸等等〉,能增強人體免疫系統,使體內的殺手細胞去破壞癌細胞‧另一些補品,如維生素 E ,會導致所謂的細胞程式死亡,這是人體自我清除體內受傷、受損及不需要的細胞之自然方法
15. 癌症是一種心靈、肉體、及精神的疾病 ,積極、樂觀進取的精神,有助於病人抗癌‧ 憤怒、埋怨、挑剔會使肉體緊張,形成酸性體質,癌症病人需 學習有愛心與寬容,放鬆心情,享受人生。
16. 癌細胞無法生存於充氧的環境中,每日運動,做深呼吸,都有助於輸送更多氧氣到細 胞層內‧有氧療法,是另一種抗癌的方法‧

美國著名的約翰‧霍普金斯醫院,提供有關癌症的最新消息,敬請轉發傳閱‧
1 . 微波爐內,勿用塑膠容器‧
2 .冰箱的冷凍庫內,勿放瓶裝水‧
3. 微波爐內,勿用保鮮膜‧

約翰‧霍普金斯醫院最近在新聞信中,發布此一訊息‧華特‧里德陸軍醫學中心,也同時轉發傳佈‧

戴奧辛化學物會致癌,尤其是乳癌‧戴奧辛對人體細胞有劇毒‧塑膠瓶裝水,不可冷凍,這樣會導致塑膠釋放戴奧辛‧城堡醫院康福專案經理,艾德華‧藤本博士最近上電視節目,解釋此一破壞健康的事情‧他談到戴奧辛,及其禍害‧他說,食物不該放在塑膠盒內,拿到微波爐裡加熱,尤其是含有脂肪的食物‧

因為脂肪、高溫、加上塑膠,會釋放戴奧辛到食物,最後進入人體細胞‧他反而推薦大家用玻璃來裝食物加熱,像康寧器皿,派熱克斯玻璃,或瓷器‧你可達到相同的結果,卻不含戴奧辛‧所以,像電視大餐,速食麵,速食湯等,都要從原來的盒中取出,換用別的東西裝起來加熱‧

紙盒不是壞事,但你不知道紙裡含有什麼成分‧所以用加熱 煅造的玻璃,如康寧器皿等,比較安全‧他提醒說,前一陣子,有些速食店不再用保麗龍,改用紙盒,原因之ㄧ就是戴奧辛惹禍‧他也指出,用保鮮膜包住食物,放進微波爐裡烹飪,也是很危險的‧當食物加熱時,有毒的戴奧辛從保鮮膜溢出,滲進食物去‧

不然怎麼辦? 可用紙巾來代替

PLEASE READ AND FORWARD IT TO PEOPLE YOU CARE ABOUT)

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 tumours.

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.

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 naturalsubstitute 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 soya 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 putrefied 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.

CANCER UPDATE FROM JOHN HOPKINS HOSPITAL , U S - PLEASE READ

1. No plastic containers in micro.

2. No water bottles in freezer.

3. No plastic wrap in microwave.

Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well.

Dioxin chemicals causes cancer, especially breast cancer.
Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies.
Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic.

Recently, Dr. Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital , was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us.

He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers.

This especially applies to foods that contain fat.

He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body.

Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food.
You get the same results, only without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else.

Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc.

He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons.

Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food.

Cover food with a paper towel instead.
