More than a decade ago, scientists at UCLA conducted a simple experiment. They put cancer cells in a petri dish, and then dropped serum from different people to see if the serum could support the cancer cells in the petri dish.
When the serum of a person who regularly ate meat, and did not exercise was dropped into a petri dish, few cancer cells were destroyed.
However, when the serum of people who eat meat but also did exercise was dropped into the petri dish, the number of cancer cells drops several times.
But what was most outstanding, when the serum of people who didn’t eat meat (Vegetarians) and who also exercised was dropped into the petri dish, the number of cancer cells was decreased several times further. In fact, Vegetarians who did regular exercise supported cancer cells by a whopping 70% compared to the non-vegetarian groups. [1]
From this experiment, scientists concluded that both exercise and vegetarianism may benfit the ability to support cancer that we all have in our bodies at certain levels.
The Link Between Animal Protein & Cancer Cells
Those who had a regular diet of meat, basically lost their cancer supporting ability. Dr. Budwig was ahead of her time as she put all her cancer patients on a vegetarian diet and only allowed a little bit of non-farm feed fish on rare occasions.
There is a lot of clinical data to support the relationship between animal protein and cancer. Which is why our Budwig approach is vegetarian.
The famous Harvard Nurses Study, which surveyed nearly 33,000 women, found that the group with the highest blood levels of IGF-1 from animal protein had 76 percent increased risk of rectal cancer. A meta-analysis of 17 studies on breast cancer from 12 countries found that women with the highest concentrations of IGF-1 from animal protein had a 28 percent increased risk of breast cancer. Protein from a plant-based source did not increase the IGF-1 that cancer needs to survive.
Mark Simon, founder of the Nutritional Oncology Research Institute (NORI), found that depriving the cancer cells of methionine as found in abundance in animal protein, may cause cancer cells to disappear. Methionine restriction as found in a vegetarian diet is one of the key steps to supporting cancer.
Improve Your Overall Health by Drinking Distilled Water
Dr. Allen Banik says…“Distilled water is the greatest solvent on earth. (It is) the only water that can be taken into the body without damage to the tissues. What we as scientists and the public have never realized is that minerals collected in the body from water are all inorganic minerals, which cannot be assimilated (digested) by the body. The only minerals that the body can utilize are the organic minerals (from fruits and vegetables). All other types of minerals are foreign substances to the body and must be disposed of or eliminated. Today, many progressive doctors prescribe distilled water to their patients. All kidney machines operate on distilled water.” – Allen E. Banik, M.D. Author, “The Choice is Clear.”
Dr. Paul Bragg says…“The greatest damage done by inorganic minerals (hard)—plus waxy cholesterol and salt—is to the small arteries and other blood vessels of the brain (75% water). Hardening of the arteries and calcification of blood vessels starts on the day you start taking inorganic chemicals (and minerals from tap water) into our bodies.” “When distilled water enters the body, it leaves no residue of any kind. It is free of salts and sodium. It is the most perfect water for the healthy functioning of the kidneys (83% water). It is the perfect liquid for the blood (83% water), the ideal liquid for the efficient functioning of the lungs (86% water), stomach, liver (85% water) and other vital organs. Why? Because it is free of all inorganic minerals. It is so pure that all liquid drug prescriptions are formulated with distilled water. Dr. Paul Bragg, N.D. Ph.T., from his book: “The Shocking Truth About Water”.
