As most of you have noticed, I do my own writing on topics I know most about. But this is a topic I&#8217;m no expert on, so that&#8217;s when I shut up and let someone else do the heavy-lifting for me <img src='http://flawlessfitnessbook.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /></p><p><strong>EDIT:</strong> To be fair, I&#8217;d like to provide credit where credit is due, but I have no clue who wrote this&#8230; I THOUGHT it was John Hopkins University but they seem to have denied that. So as of right now, this article came into materialization from thin air. And that&#8217;s a fact! Truth be told there is a lot of validity to this and I&#8217;d still follow most of the advice. That&#8217;s my opinion, read it and form your own.</p><p><strong>&#8212;- Article Start&#8212;-</strong></p><p>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.</p><p>2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person&#8217;s lifetime.</p><p>3. When the person&#8217;s immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming=2 0tumours.</p><p>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.</p><p>5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.</p><p>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.</p><p>7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.</p><p>8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tu mor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not<br /> result in more tumor destruction.</p><p>9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence<br /> the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.</p><p>10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy&#8230; Surgery can also cause cancer<br /> cells to spread to other sites.</p><p>11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.</p><p>WHAT CANCER CELLS FEED ON:</p><p>a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. 20By 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 sma ll amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in colour. Better alternative is Bragg&#8217;s aminos or sea salt.</p><p>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.</p><p>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 rath er than beef or pork.  Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.</p><p>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 no urish 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 temper atures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).</p><p>e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties.<br /> Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.</p><p>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.</p><p>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&#8217;s killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.</p><p>14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the<br /> body&#8217;s own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body&#8217;s normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.</p><p>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<br /> and enjoy life.</p><p>16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated enviro nment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular<br /> level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.</p><p><strong>&#8212;- Article End&#8212;-</strong></p><p>So there you have it, some very practical tips on how you can avoid and/or fight off cancer. You now also have a basic understanding of the disease so use it to your advantage. Personally I still refuse to believe that there are no &#8220;cures&#8221; to cancer, but that&#8217;s just me.</p><p>Anyways, make sure you book mark and share this one. Important stuff, and the more people that know, the better.</p><p>- FJ<br /> <a href="http://www.flawlessfitnessbook.com/thebook.html" target="_blank">FlawlessFitnessBook.com</a></p><p>&#8211;</p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flawlessfitnessbook.com" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" src="http://flawlessfitnessbook.com/images/banner_longadd.jpg" alt="fitness book banner" width="379" height="49" /></a></p><p><span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span></p><p><span style="color: #ffffff;">&#8211;<br /> </span></p><p style='text-align:left'>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</br><i>&copy; 2009 &#8211; 2010, By <i><b>FitJerk</b></i>. <i>FitJerk.com is a division of <a href="http://www.flawlessfitnessmedia.com" target="_blank">Flawless Fitness Media</a> &#8211; All Rights Reserved &#8211; No part of this post is to be republished without author consent under any forms of media (including print, internet, video or audio transcription).

Consequently enough&#8230; they pay for it later. Surprise surprise!</p><p>So today is all about how NOT to be a back-breaking moron. Here are some crucial tips that you can follow to ensure the safety of your back:</p><p><strong>1. LIFT CORRECTLY: </strong> This advice is nothing new, alot of people know about it&#8230; yet not many FOLLOW it. This is worse than NOT knowing about it. When you lift a heavy object, keep that back straight and use your LEGS to do the lifting for you. Also, while lifting, keep the object as close to you as possible and avoid twisting.</p><p>If you unconsciously lift like a tool,  then you need to TRAIN yourself to lift properly. Start by following this technique ANYTIME you are about to lift something. Whether it be a box of bricks or small ping-pong ball off the floor. Turn it into a habit so that you don&#8217;t have to think about it.</p><p><strong>2. Condition, Condition, Condition: </strong>If you do heavy lifting as a part of your job, or for some reason you tend to lift things on a daily basis&#8230; then workout those back muscles so they are strong and more resilient to injury. Deadlifts&#8230; done properly&#8230; are a GREAT way to condition your lower back muscles, along with a whole bunch of other body parts. Pull ups and lateral pull-downs are also great back exercises.</p><p><strong>3. Sit Up Soldier!</strong> If you are in front of a computer all day, or have a desk job, then either invest in a proper chair with lumbar support or sit up with your back straight. Don&#8217;t slouch. If  you cannot afford to spend a little bit of extra money on those chairs then you can use a cushion to help support your back. Also try and keep those feet FLAT on floor.</p><p>As for driving, most cars these days have decent seats, but make sure that while driving you can easily reach the wheel&#8230; AND all the controls that you most likely use on a frequent basis. (I tend to have Song A.D.D&#8230;. I usually can&#8217;t get through a whole song so I skip tracks often)</p><p><strong>4. Keep Your Weight In Check: </strong>&#8230; And by weight I mean the extra fat that you lug around. Cut that out! Being over-weight (specially in the belly area) can wreck havoc on your lower back. Your body as to work EXTRA hard to lug all that extra weight around so make sure you get rid of it. This one thing will help you tremendously!</p><p>I give away one of my best Fat Burner Programs in my FREE fitness report. ( The things I do for you people). If you don&#8217;t have it I suggest you get it. Just sign up by putting in your name and email in the box on your right &#8212;&#8212;&gt;<br /> and you will get an instant download link.</p><p>As for those who would like to take things MUCH MUCH further, and would like to not only become fit, but undergo a deep fitness education to really understand the concepts on how your body works&#8230; <a title="health fitness book flawless" href="http://www.flawlessfitnessbook.com/thebook.html" target="_blank">GO HERE.</a></p><p>Good&#8230; now follow those tips, don&#8217;t be a tool&#8230; and you should almost never have back pain again.</p><p>Later you fruit cups.</p><p>- FJ</p><p style='text-align:left'>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</br><i>&copy; 2009 &#8211; 2012, By <i><b>FitJerk</b></i>. <i>FitJerk.com is a division of <a href="http://www.flawlessfitnessmedia.com" target="_blank">Flawless Fitness Media</a> &#8211; All Rights Reserved &#8211; No part of this post is to be republished without author consent under any forms of media (including print, internet, video or audio transcription).
