Sex and Cancer

 

Cancer is not contagious during sexual relations unless the guy has the human papilloma-virus/ HPM.  Semen doesn't transfer cancerous cells.

 

Cancer treatments may affect sexual desire. 

 

Radiation and chemotherapy make patients tired and sick.

 

There is a book called Breast Cancer Husband by Marc Silver which tells you to respect your wife and try to make her feel beautiful even if she loses her breasts to surgery.

 

There is a book called Vaginal Recuperation after Cancer or Surgery.

Cancer Vaccine Info

 

There are a number of different cancer vaccines being worked on.  The most successful one is gardasil that prevents cervical cancer in people who use it. 

 

These are a few websites to help you with basic research.

 

Go to the Medical News section and plug "cancer vaccine" into a few of those websites.

SV40, The Monkey Virus in the Polio Vaccine that Causes Cancer

 

You can look all this stuff up online.  I discovered it listening to the Podcast Affiliates Network, a channel on youtube.

 

When they created the polio vaccine, they put into it a monkey virus called Simian Virus 40 which has been described as the most extreme carcinogen that causes cancer.

 

Almost 100 million Americans go the polio vaccine in the 1950s and 60s.

 

SV40 causes cancer.

 

It is genetic, passed by a pregnant mother onto the fetus.

 

It is transmitted through sexual contact.

 

Mary S. Sherman, a doctor who knew too much was assassinated.  The book about it is Dr Mary’s Monkey: From Polio to Cancer by Edward T. Haslam.

 

They used to grow the polio vaccine in petrie dishes on monkey kidneys.  One guy says they had already given out a hundred million polio vaccines before they discovered it was contaminated with a cancer virus so they covered it up and gave out the rest.  Cancer rates steadily rose since 1960.

Herxheimers Reaction to the Massive Killing of Microbes in the Body

 

When you kill a lot of microbes in a short amount of time, you might feel sluggish and a brain fog because your body is cleaning itself out.

 

There is nothing wrong.  Give your body time to get rid of the dead cancer cells.

 

Two Ways to Die with Cancer

 

Everyone has cancer cells in their body.

 

If you have cancer generally in your body, you will die gradually as you get weaker.

 

If you have cancer in a particular vital organ, you can die immediately as soon as cancer fully takes over that organ.

 

Cancer Quotes

 

“To the cancer establishment, a cancer patient is a profit center. The actual clinical and scientific evidence does not support the claims of the cancer industry. Conventional cancer treatments are in place as the law of the land because they pay, not heal, the best. Decades of the politics-of-cancer-as-usual have kept you from knowing this and will continue to do so unless you wake up to their reality.”

John Diamond, M.D. and Lee Cowden, M.D.

 

“Chemotherapy is an incredibly lucrative business for doctors, hospitals and pharmaceutical companies.  The medical establishment wants everyone to follow the same exact protocol. They don't want to see the chemotherapy industry go under and thats the number one obstacle to any progress in oncology.”

Dr Warner, M.D.

Evidence that Removing a Tumor Causes a Backlash

 

Many studies that show that surgical removal of the tumor often causes a backlash in the body.  The body creates a bunch of free-range cancer cells.

 

There is a theory that cancer is a bodily growth in the body’s attempt to heal itself so it’s just natural.

 

A better way wayight to strengthen the immune system but then again Steve Jobs regretted not getting surgery and he died.

 

Insulin from Diabetes Treatments Linked to Cancer

 

People say that the insulin you take to treat diabetes can lead to cancer.

 

The lesson is don’t get type 2 diabetes.  It’s preventable.

 

Dogs Can be Trained to Sniff Cancer for Early Detection

 

Studies have been done that prove that dogs can be trained to detect cancer but how would you use this ability?

 

Many people are afraid of dogs.

 

Most people don’t care about cancer until they start to feel weak.

 

If you start a business and charge a fee like $50, people feel ripped off if the dog doesn’t detect cancer.

 

Local SPCAs should train their dogs and provide this service as a way to make money.

 

Is Treatment Working?/ Tests to See How Much Cancer is in Your Body

 

There are tests to determine how much cancer you have.

 

Take sequential tests every few months to see if cancer goes down.

 

If your cancer is getting worse, do something else or more.

 

Take test one for a baseline to compare future tests to.

 

The tests are:

 

blood and urine test measures a combination of  biomarkers

The Navarro Urine Test

Infrared Themographs

Barium Enema Test

Electro Interstitial Scanning, EIS

 

The Navarro Urine test is not as accurate as the blood tests

navarromedicalclinic.com

 

Infrared Thermographs, i.e. infrared camera scan

exactly where cancer or tumors are located.

flir.com

 

A P.E.T. scan is the best but it does create a lot of radiation.

 

PSA, prostate-specific antigen blood test, aren’t that good for men for prostate cancer.

Chapter 6. We Still Want to Deny that Dirt and Chemicals Cause Illness

 

The Importance of Cleanliness to Prevent Disease and Fight Disease

 

It goes back to 1847 when Dr. Ignaz Semmelweiss, a physician in a Vienna hospital, discovered that infections were spread among patients and doctors who didn’t wash their hands and they laughed at them then.

 

Nowadays we still live in denial, thinking that diseases are caused by bad luck, genetics or some freak occurrence.  It’s as simple as getting germs, bacteria, viruses and poisonous chemical from the environment.

 

Most people are brainwashed by the massive conventional cancer industry.  I have my own beef with them because I had friends and family who had cancer.  I tried to talk sense to them from all the knowledge I knew about cancer and they dismissed me.  A prophet can’t be a prophet in their home town. 

 

People give into magical thinking, thinking that these doctors and big machines and all those busy people at the hospital will help them but they’re a bunch of brainwashed clones too.

 

I believe that nobody wants to talk about all the chemicals of modern life and in the foods we eat as a cause of disease because it’s bad for capitalism.

 

The big lie is that cancer is some mysterious disease that afflicts some unlucky people.  It might have contributors called carcinogens but getting it is mostly a matter of bad luck. 

 

The truth is that lifestyle causes all cancers and all disease.  There is a small genetic component but we’re epigenic, meaning that lifeastyle determines genetic manifestation.

 

Wake up like I did when I read Hulda Clark’s 669 page free ebook. 

 

It’s about all those poisons you’re surrounded by everywhere and all that poison you eat and breathe in all the time:

 

Hulda Clark, free PDF online The Cure for all Cancers, huldaclark.com/The-Cure-For-All-Cancers.pdf

 

Keep your house and living area very clean but don’t use chemical cleaners.

 

Use antibacterial wipes.

 

Vacuum the house using a vacuum with a HEPA filter (High Efficiency Particle Arrestor).

 

Wash your hands before any contact with the patient.

 

Encourage the patient to wash constantly.

 

Eat natural, unprocessed foods.

 

Open the windows. 

 

Get fresh air.

 

Get sunshine.

 

Wash hands with Hibiclens, a surgical scrub available at the drug store.

 

If you have a weak immune system, people should stay away.

 

If you have a weak immune system, avoid soil as in don’t garden.  Soil is a source of bacteria and mold.

 

Remove plants and flowers because they tend to shed mold.

 

Flowers harbor infectious bacteria and suck water out of the air.

 

If the caregiver has a cold or flu, wear a mask.

 

Wash fruits and vegetables of pesticides, etc.

 

Fruits are a risk for mold and should be inspected carefully.

 

Mold can be dangerous to the weak patient.

 

All mold in the house should be removed.  Keep the house dry.

 

An air filter cleans the air.

 

Pets should be bathed frequently.

 

Pet litter should be changed frequently but not by the chemotherapy patient.

 

Pet reptiles are carriers of salmonella bacteria.

 

Raw eggs and raw cookie dough are not good for weak patients.

 

All chicken, fish and meat must be cooked well.

 

Wear clean clothes.

 

Keep the house clean.

Mersa/ Staph/ MRSA (Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Bacteria)

 

Staph infection is a skin infection commonly known as "mersa" or MRSA.  Mersa used to be an infection hospital workers used to get and anywhere that people are in close casual contact like prisons, daycare services, sports teams, schools and even firefighter facilities.

 

The problem is that some of these mersa bacteria become resistant to antibiotics and don't work.

 

The mersa bacteria is passed by human touch only, not through inantimate objects that may have had contact with the bacteria.

 

Researchers have discovered that MRSA can be transmitted via pets.

Hospital-Acquired Infections/ HAIS

 

Nobody wants to believe that hospitals are some of the most unhealthiest places around but it's true.  Hospital-Acquired Infections are also known as healthcare-associated infections and nosocomial illnesses. 

 

Some consumer advocates say one in 20 people who enter the hospital will end up with infections they didn't have when they got there meaning they got some illness from being in the hospital.

 

When they started monitoring this in Pennsylvania, they had 12,000 cases in the first year and that's just what the hospitals reported.  Nobody knows how much is purposely hidden.

 

Postoperative Sepsis is an infection acquired in the hospital after surgery.  Sepsis means the presence of bacteria, yeasts, fungi or molds in the blood or tissues of the body.
