Causes and Symptoms of Cancer We all know that cancer has been on an alarming increase (1 of 3 persons get cancer). We also know how it can be prevented! According to Jethro Kloss, the author of BACK TO EDEN, "Cancer has been related to chronic auto-intoxication, constipation, radiation, inactivity of all the organs of elimination such as the lungs, liver, kidneys, skin, and bowels. When there is improper elimination of these areas they become overloaded with toxins, then the poisons accumulate around the weakest organs or where the body has been injured by a blow, fall, or bruise. The poisoning of the body has been caused by the use of improper foods, the use of tea, coffee, cola drinks, meat, liquor of all kinds, and tobacco in all forms. Some theories believe that a fatty diet is linked to cancer. Fats have been found to promote breast cancer in mice. Hormones are known to play a part in breast cancer and the current suspicion is that fats may over-stimulate hormone production or disrupt normal hormone balance.""Among the improper foods also, are meats of all kinds, especially pork, cane sugar and cane-sugar products; white flour products; white rice and all denatured foods which cause waste matter in the system. The life-giving properties and minerals are removed from much of the food that is eaten today due to the demineralization of our farmlands. The life-giving properties of food keep the blood stream pure, and CANCER WILL NOT DEVELOP WHERE THERE IS A PURE BLOOD STREAM! (author's bold and caps) Remember, cancer cannot live in a system where all the mineral elements are present."Since we Americans drink so much coffee and soft drinks, let's take a look at what we are doing to ourselves. (By the way, when I had cancer, I was drinking between 8-12 cups of coffee a day.) In an excellent report from the Wellness Center and Research Group in Portland, Oregon entitled, Effects of Caffeine, Oxalic Acid and Coffee Oils in Coffee and Cola Drinks, it states, "Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, former head of the Bureau of Chemistry of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, once demanded that all cola drinks be labeled 'Poison.' " The report also states the equally bad affect of coffee with caffeine, and also the coffee oils, causing a problem by coating the cell membranes and preventing nutrient transport into the cell."CANCER STUDY IMPLICATES COFFEE AGENT", is the headline of an article from United Press International, Washington, on June 18, 1982, and states that the results of a two-year study by the government shows a chemical commonly used in decaffeinated coffee causes liver cancer in laboratory mice!What are the symptoms of cancer? Mine was a sense of general fatigue and stress over a long period of time, which later developed into pain! Again, Jethro Kloss gives us a synopsis of some of the various symptoms of cancer. "Skin cancers often begin on the face, close to the nose, sometimes in the middle of the cheek, behind the ear, or below the ear, and maybe on other parts of the face or neck. The skin becomes rough and develops into an open sore, which gets worse and worse. Lip cancer is caused usually from smoking or from tea drinking. Sometimes cancer comes inside the mouth."Jethro Kloss adds, "Many cancers start in the stomach. The victim thinks it is merely indigestion. As it progresses, there is experienced sharp, cutting pains. After eating there is great pain and nausea, followed by vomiting. Often a brown, colored matter is vomited up. Constipation, sleeplessness, and a feverish condition are usual. There is a general wasting away, and finally death. Frequently the cancer is in the rectum, causing great distress at the stool. Sometimes the liver is cancerous, causing pain in that region and general debility. Cancer of the female organs is very prevalent, manifesting itself in the form of a fibrous tumor, sometimes as a tumor on the side of the uterus, as a sore on the mouth of the uterus, or as a cyst in the ovaries. Cancer of the breast is very common, and there is often cancer of the female organs when there is cancer of the breast. Frequently cancer begins in the bowels, or it may appear in any part of the body. There are also other causes and manifestations of cancer."I certainly had some of the symptoms: the constipation, sleeplessness, tumors, and heat emanating from the breast with sharp, shooting pains. I did a massive cleaning on myself with detoxing herbs, colonics, carrot juicing plus other juices, cranial and lymphatic massage, kneisiology testing for specific remedies, amounts, and therapies, clay packs, color therapy, frequency therapy, liver 'flushes', enzyme therapy, mineral therapy, parasite cleansing, and of course, I did a complete revision of my diet. It was during one of my colonics that the colon therapist told me what the cancerous tumors looked like. She said, "I call the cancerous tumors 'fuzzy-wuzzies' because they look like dark fuzzy balls with 'feelers' sticking out from them". When we saw them passing through the clear colonic tube coming out of my body, I came 'unglued' and literally sobbed. I was seeing it with my own eyes and could no longer deny it!

Emotional, Mental, & Spiritual Cancer Causes Parallel with the physical cleansing, there was an emotional and mental cleansing, plus some very important spiritual support (and meditation) that was incorporated in the program. The emotional cause of the cancer in my own case was "holding in grief". For others, it is often repressed anger.Visualization and imagery also played a part. Dr. Bernie Seigel (MD), attending surgeon at Yale-New Haven Hospital and clinical professor of surgery at Yale Medical School, believes in mind over cancer! According to an article entitled Mind Over Cancer, in PREVENTION magazine, March 1988 issue, his therapy practices include an unconventional method of using imagery techniques. He says, "Patients who get well when they are not supposed to are not having spontaneous remissions. They're experiencing self-induced healing." He says in the article that survival of cancer has as much to do with the mental attitude as the extent of the disease.There are some wonderful books on positive thinking related to health. One of them entitled, You Can Heal Yourself, by Louise Hay, states the cause of wrong thinking that creates disease in the body and the affirmations to correct it. The same book speaks of cancer as the result of "deep hurt, longstanding resentment. Deep or secret grief eating away at the self. Carrying hatreds." She suggests the following affirmation: "I lovingly forgive and release all of the past. I choose to fill my world with joy. I love and approve of myself." She lists the various diseases with the specific emotional-mental causes. Another book to check out is: Your Body Believes Every Word You Say by Barbara Levine.
