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.

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.

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.
