ARTICLE - CANCER PREVENTION

I am not sure of the origin nor authenticity of this article which was forwarded to me by a friend. It's an extract of an article written by a Dr Lu Geling, who was once in charge of Maijie Hospital in Taiwan. I googled 'Maijie Hospital' but only found 2 sites carrying the same article, and nothing about Maijie Hospital.

Nevertheless, I am reproducing part of the article here as I have heard of the connection between an acidic body and cancer and the importance of balancing it with an intake of stuff that are alkaline by nature. However, it is advisable to be discretionary and not go to extremes.

Quote :

Under weakly alkaline condition, cancerous cells will not be able to grow, or even to survive.

One should take care of oneself and should also be caring about others, 85% of cancer patients are acidic in their physical condition. Blood of healthy persons is weakly alkaline in nature, with a pH of about 7.35 to 7.45 .

Babies' blood is also weakly acidic. As adults mature their blood becomes more acidic in nature.

According to a study of 600 cancer patients of their body fluid, 85% of the patients are acidic.

Therefore, how to maintain the weakly acidic of our body is the first step for moving far away from diseases.

Acidic physical conditions manifest itself
in:

1. Skin without lustre
2. Athlete's foot
3. Feeling tired even with very little exercise, and feeling sleepy the moment one gets on to public buses
4. Easily out of breath going up and down the stairs
5. Fat and with lower stomach protruding
6. Move slowly and movement lethargic

Why does the body physical condition turned acidic?

1. Excessive intake of dairy acidic food

a) meat, dairy products, eggs, beef, ham, etc are acidic food
b) taking too much acidic food will cause the blood to become acidic and viscous, difficult to flow to the end of blood vessels, leading to cold feet or knee, stiff shoulders and insomnia.
c) When one is young and strong, taking suitable quantity of meat is appropriate, but with older people it is more suitable to have a diet which are primarily vegetables or small fish.

2. Irregularity in the pace of life will cause the body physical condition to become acidic

a) Irregular pace in life will lead to mental and physical stress
b) According to statistics, people who sleep late are more likely to have cancer than normal persons, by as much as 5 times.
c) Human beings originally lead a life with regular tempo in this world, it is not possible to store up sleep or food and not possible to change the order of living by mixing up days and nights.
d) Human organs are controlled by the autonomic nerves, and during day time it is mainly sympathetic nerves activities, and at night it is mainly the parasympathetic nerves which are functioning, If this order is disturbed and reversed, then diseases will result.

3. Emotion over tensed

a) Civilised society brings stresses
b) Job related or mental stressed
c) A person suffers mental stress, when the stress is removed and the person relaxes, sometimes this may lead to death, referred to as the syndrome of imperfect adrenal cortex function.

4. Physical Stress

a) Before any operation it would be necessary to check to see if the renal cortex does function normally. If the adrenal cortex is lacking, or if the stress imposed by the operation exceeded the ability of adrenal cortex to cope, it could lead to death or other undesirable impacts.

b) If it is noted that patient's face is puffy, it would be necessary to inquire in detail the patient's medical history and medication status, for patients taking adrenal cortical hormone, extra care should be exercised when administering acupuncture.

c) Stress due to physical labour or exercise in excess, whole night card games, driving etc should be avoided as much as possible.
