"SEED for Change" is a guide to wellness and reclaiming your inner child that you may have lost
along your path. As a child, you were likely intuitive and saw everything as something to play with
and explore.

Let go of your lists of adult things to do, lighten your load and look closely at what you really want to
do.
Then start allowing yourself to do these things.

Regaining your youth is the first step; that includes reversing your degrading body,
releasing your fears and changing your dreams.

If you are where you thought you should be and find there is nothing for you there,
you may be open to a more natural way of experiencing life -- a new reality.

Are you ready to plant your SEED for Change?

    What is cancer?

    Herman Aihara in his book, Acid & Alkaline, defines cancer as such:  
    "If the condition of our extra-cellular fluids, especially the blood, becomes
    acidic, our physical conditions will first manifest tiredness, proneness to
    catching colds, etc.

    When these fluids become more acidic, our condition then manifests
    pains and suffering such as headaches, chest pains, stomach aches, etc.
    .
    According to Keiichi Morishita in his Hidden Truth of Cancer, if the
    blood develops a more acidic condition, then our body inevitably
    deposits these excess acidic substances in some area of the body such
    so that the blood will be able to maintain an alkaline condition.

    As this tendency continues, such areas increase in acidity and some
    cells die; then these dead cells themselves turn into acids. However,
    some other cells may adapt in that environment. In other words, instead
    of dying – as normal cells do in an acid environment – some cells
    survive by becoming abnormal cells.

    These abnormal cells are called malignant cells. Malignant cells do not
    correspond with brain function or with our own DNA memory code.
    Therefore, malignant cells grow indefinitely and without order.

    This is cancer."

    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.  

    When the immune system is strong, the body will destroy cancer cells
    preventing them from multiplying and forming tumors. When a person has
    cancer, it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These
    could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors. To
    overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including
    supplements will strengthen the immune system.  

    Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and
    also unfortunately, destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone
    marrow, gastrointestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver,
    kidneys, heart, lungs, etc. Radiation, while destroying cancer cells also
    burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.  

    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. 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.  

    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.  

    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 ACIDIC FOODS LIKE
                                           SUGAR, MILK AND MEAT  

    Sugar
    Eliminating sugar cuts off an important food supply to cancer cells. Sugar
    substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc. are made with
    Aspartame, which is toxic. A better natural substitute would be raw,
    unprocessed honey or blackstrap molasses in very small amounts.

    Milk
    Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal
    tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. Substitute cow milk products with
    unsweetened organic soy milk or almond milk.

    Meat
    Cancer cells thrive in an acidic environment. A meat-based diet is acidic. It
    is better to eat fish or chicken rather than beef or pork . Meat also contains
    antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful,
    especially to people with cancer.  

    A diet of 80%  fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a
    little fruit helps put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be
    from cooked foods including beans. To obtain live enzymes for building
    healthy cells, drink fresh vegetable juice and eat raw vegetables 2 or 3
    times a day. Most enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees
    F (40 degrees C).

    Avoid coffee, tea and chocolate which are loaded with caffeine. Green tea
    is a better alternative and has cancer fighting properties. Drink purified or
    filtered water to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled
    water is acidic and devoid of minerals, making it great for car batteries but
    not for humans. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in color, a
    better alternative is Bragg's aminos or unrefined sea salt.  

    Meat protein requires a lot of enzymes to digest properly. Undigested meat
    remaining in the intestines becomes putrefied and leads to toxic buildup.
    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.  

    Some supplements build up the immune system ( Essiac, anti-oxidants,
    vitamins, minerals, 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 and unneeded cells.  

    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 is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive
    spirit will help the cancer warrior become a survivor. Anger, unforgiveness
    and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn
    to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Relax and enjoy life.  

    Cancer and most diseases cannot exist in a body that has an alkaline pH
    level. Read more on our pH page.


                                                                     microwave ovens


    Today, most foods we eat are processed, thus destroying the enzymes in
    the plants needed to digest properly. This creates a myriad of problems for
    people who do not include a large proportion of raw fruits, vegetables,
    beans, legumes, nuts and seeds in their daily diet. The body is forced to
    use an enormous amount of energy to create the enzymes needed to
    digest each meal. This eventually takes a toll on the immune system. When
    food is not processed properly in the body, important vitamins and minerals
    cannot be absorbed properly, thus setting up a scenario for disease.

    Most enzymes in animal and plant foods are destroyed when cooked at
    temperatures in excess of 104 degrees Fahrenheidt (40 Celsium).
    Microwave ovens cook foods by exciting the molecules, this creates heat
    at a cellular level, cooking the product from the inside out. Using
    microwaves kills the life force and enzymes of foods.

    Using plastic wraps when heating food causes toxins from the plastic to
    melt and drip into the food. Heating foods in plastic or Styrofoam
    containers releases dioxins into the food. This especially applies to foods
    that contain fat. Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of the bodies and
    are linked as one cause in the rise in breast and other cancers.

    Until you can train yourself to live without a microwave, use glass containers
    such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food.
    Cover the food with a paper towel rather than plastic wrap.

    Although we suggest you don't eat TV dinners, instant ramen noodles,
    canned or dehydrated soups and other highly processed foods, they should
    be removed from the container in which they were purchased and heated in
    glass. This is also true when warming leftovers.
