SEED FOR CHANGE


Sun   Emotions   Exercise   Diet  

"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.

our SEED (Sun, Emotions, Exercise, Diet) package.

Are you ready to plant your SEED for Change?

Welcome to our Healthy Living Page!

On this page we wish to share with you items of interest that have helped us
during our evolution from poor eating and health habits to the wonderful
healthy lifestyle we enjoy today.

We are not experts in these fields, simply two people offering what has worked for us.

Throughout this website and especially on our "Resources" page, you will find links to articles
and websites written by the experts.
                              
                               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.

    been known to cure cancer in some people.
