防癌系列 (2)

John Hopkins Cancer Research updates 

約翰霍普金斯最新之癌症研究


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.

每一個人身上都帶有癌細胞,除非癌細胞擴增至幾十億個,否則癌細胞是無法在一般檢查時被檢查出來的。所以每當病患治療到一個階段後醫生會告訴病患其體內已無癌細胞時,醫生所指的是其體內癌細胞數量已縮小到儀器無法偵測出來的數量。


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

在每個人的生命期裡,癌細胞都會出現6至10次。


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

當人體免疫系統強時,癌細胞是會被摧滅的,同時免疫系統強是能抑制腫瘤形成及擴增。

 

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.

當人被發現有癌症時,它意謂這個病患是有大量營養缺乏;這可能是由於基因、環境、食物及生活方式等因素造成的。

 

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

如何克服營養缺乏,那就是要改變飲食及多進用增強免疫系統之食物。

 

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.

化療不祇能毒殺快速增長之癌細胞,亦會一併消滅骨髓及胃腸道內之健康細胞,同時造成器官衰竭;如肝臟、腎臟、心臟及肺臟等等。

 

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

放射治療在摧毀癌細胞時,亦會灼傷健康細胞、組織及器官。

 

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.

初期化療及放射線治療是很容易將腫瘤面積縮小到某一程度,然再延長上述療法並不能造成腫瘤完全消除。

 

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.

化療及放射線治療會讓體內存有大量毒素而危及或摧毀免疫系統,因而導致病患易於感染及病發症。

 

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.

化療及放射線治療會造成病患癌細胞突變及產生抗體而變得難以摧毀,而手術則易使癌細胞擴散至其它部位。

 

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

一個有效的擊潰癌細胞之方式是不供給癌細胞繁殖所需之食物,是餓死癌細胞 !

 

CANCER CELLS FEED ON:

癌細胞以何為食物:

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 color. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.

糖是癌的食物,若不食糖即刪除癌細胞很重要的一項食物供給。代糖如Nutra sweet, Equal spoonful等均是由Aspartame 組合而成的,是有害的。較好之天然代糖是 Manuka糖漿或Molasses糖蜜,但祇能取用少許。食鹽為使顏色變白而掺有化學添加物,較妥之選擇是海鹽。


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.

牛奶會使人體產生黏液,尤其是在胃腸道內,而黏液正是癌症之食物。因而阻絕牛奶及採用不甜之豆漿作替代,癌症就會在無食物情況下萎縮的。


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.

癌細胞是在酸性環境中繁衍的,以肉為基本飲食的體質是酸性的,因而食用魚類及少量雞肉是較食用牛、豬為妥的。且肉品均含有家畜抗生素、生長賀爾蒙及寄生蟲等,而這些均是對人體的有害物質,尤其是對癌症病患。

 

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).

以80%新鮮蔬菜及青菜汁之全素飲食;含全穀類、種子、堅果及少量的水果是有益於體質轉變為鹼性的,剩餘20%可進食煮熟的豆類。新鮮蔬菜汁可提供活性酵素,活性酵素極易在15分鐘內被細胞組織吸收進而滋養增強健康細胞,為取得活性酵素強壯健康細胞應多飲用新鮮果菜汁(多樣蔬菜含豆芽),同時每天進食生青菜(未煮過之)兩至三次,按活性酵素在攝氏40度(C)時會被摧毀。

 

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.

飲料必須避免飲用咖啡、茶、巧克力因上述飲料含咖啡因,綠茶是較佳之選擇因為其有抗癌特性。而平常應飲用淨化水或過濾水,然應避免飲用有毒的或重金屬的水。蒸餾水是酸性的不要喝。

 

f. 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.

肉類的蛋白質是不易消化的,因為肉類的蛋白質需要大量消化酵素消化,未消化的肉質會留殘在腸內淨化,而引發有毒物質形成。


 g. 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.

癌細胞壁有很硬之蛋白質包裹,因而節制食用肉類可讓多出之酵素去攻擊癌細胞之蛋白質,而體內殺手細胞則有空間摧毀癌細胞。

 

h. 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.

部份營養品是能增強免疫系統(如抗氧化劑、維他命、礦物質等等)去驅使自體殺手細胞去摧毀癌細胞,其他營養品如維他命E會使細胞萎縮,或漸使細胞死亡,而非原體內一般處置損壞、無用及不需要細胞之模式。

 

i. 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.

癌症是一種心態、肉體和心靈上之疾病,因而能有前衛及積極的心靈是可造就癌症戰士變為勝利天使,怨尤和苦痛會讓體質變為緊張及酸性,所以必須學習愛與寬恕,同時學習放鬆及愛惜生命。

 

j. 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

癌細胞是無法在充滿氧氣的環境中繁衍,所以每日必須運動,同時多作深呼吸以利氧進入細胞層,按氧氣療法是另一種擊潰癌細胞之工具。

興建大利 《了凡四訓》節錄

行善妙方 — 何謂興建大利造福百姓? 

人世間的榮華富貴,及貧賤皆前世因,有的受苦受難,有的富貴榮華,此等差別,其根源是前世因果之報。 

《三世因果經》清楚地指出: 

今生做官為何因,前世黃金裝佛身。 

紫袍金帶為何因,三世修善今世得。 

今世為天下父母官,來之殊不易。為官可分為二種: 

(一) 廉潔清官

因前世修持根基深厚,今世為官,深明責任重大,日夜操勞為百姓謀求福利,興建大利,每作一事,利益眾生,千萬人獲益,故其功德百倍,乃至千萬倍於常人,將前世之功德倍加增進,而自己也因此名垂青史,留芳百世。 

(二) 貪官污吏

因前世修持根基淺薄,今世為官,不曉珍惜,得意忘形,自以為乃發財致富的機會,乘著興建大利,巨大工程與承建商勾結,千方百計搜括民脂民膏。每作一惡事禍及百姓,其罪孽是加倍於常人。自己因此罪惡昭彰,也辜負了上天賜於增進功德的良機。 

所以為官者,上至國家元首,下至省、縣、市、鄉、鎮、村長,每一舉一動牽涉到億萬眾生,禍福在其一念之間。珍惜行善積德的機會,多做利於百姓大眾的善事,此乃行善之妙方。

轉角的位置

 

師父:

近期好多事覺得力不從心,學習上出現了失去動力的情況,覺得自己樣樣事情都做不好….唉……….怎麼辦…師父..
有時覺得人之間的相處很難….平衡點好難搵….避免不了衝突..
=="…情緒處於極度低落的狀態….好攰..但係E+正直學業上的重要時間….好擔心自己失去動力….發覺自己有逃避的行為出現……怎麼辦LE…..T^T..
尋晚也大哭了一場……我懦弱MA?

 

有緣人:

不要灰心。看!生命的路漫長而精彩,您現在處於轉角的位置,對己、對人、對事看不清、摸不透是很正常的事,只是暫時性罷了!只要放鬆心情,接受這個短暫的不安,看通了、看透了,自會發覺一切不外如是!

成績不好,我們仍有機會下次再做好些,失去男朋友,我們可以有下個機緣,失去工作,可以再找新職,問題是我們有否在經歷裏看到自己的缺失,反思之後,接受自己不善之處,下定決心,改善自己,為迎接未來的新挑戰而強化自己!現在屬於您的,仍是您的…健康、親朋好友、學業等等…只要珍惜而不執著,一切會因時間和忍耐而將會更如願稱心!

沒有壓力,您不會有以上所說的情況,但把它轉過念來看,它是讓我們看清自己,改善自己的動力。低落之後是另一個高峰,我們要以平常心來看高低,心情便不會起伏跌盪!您不是懦弱,您是善而對自己有要求,暫時不稱心的事情,把它視作感冒吧,時間一過自己會好轉的!

請相信自己,您將會是世上最幸福的人!您永遠在師父的心裏,師父祝福您永遠幸福快樂,生命的可貴在於我們有機會,善用機會,把握機會,讓自己的福慧增長,離苦得樂!

德國不萊梅 推週四無肉日

位於德國西北的不萊梅市(Bremen),成為德國第一個全市推廣一週一日為素食的城市,若推行順利的話,預做一年下來,萊梅市的55萬市民將能減少相當於4萬輛汽車的二氧化碳排放量。

要如何週行一善呢?位於德國不萊梅的市民有了絕佳的選擇,只要響應該市的週四無肉日,就能為保護環境做出貢獻,還能有益健康,減低部份心血管疾病發生率。據統計,全世界五分之一的溫室氣體排放量是由牛隻所產生。

這項活動是由不萊梅廣播前編輯Christiane Swallow發起,同時獲得了市長Jean Bohrnsen、當地居民、環保團體及社區組織的支持,市長宣佈從今以後,每週四為不萊梅的無肉日,當地的學校、餐廳及市民都將一同參與。

當地新聞報導,接受採訪得居民,普遍都對週四無肉日表示贊同,不萊梅社區組織副主委表示,推行無肉日就好比將石頭投入水中,希望能激起漣漪,並向外傳播,引起各界重新思考,該如何選擇放入盤中的食物。
