LATEST CANCER INFORMATION

AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY AND ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHNS HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY …

[Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins ]

1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.

2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.

3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.

4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.

5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.

6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.

7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.

8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.

9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.

10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.

11. An effective way to battle cancer is to STARVE the cancer cells by not feeding it with foods it needs to multiple.

What cancer cells feed on:

a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Note: Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in colour. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.

b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk, cancer cells will starved.

c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.

d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes t o nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells.

To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).

e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties. Water--best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.

12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines will become putrified and leads to more toxic buildup.

13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.

14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the body's own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.

15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor.

Anger, unforgiving and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.

16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.

India Mobile Number Portability - Complete Guide

Mobile Number Portability (MNP) got kicked off in India (as planned) on 25th November 2010, with the initial launch happening in the state of Haryana. Other states too will be catching up soon and with this new facility, which will allow users to change their mobile service providers without changing their Mobile phone number. This article intends to be a FAQ post which will help you understand Mobile Number Portability and how it will work in India. Read on to learn more about Mobile Number Portability in India.

1. What is MNP or Mobile Number Portability?

MNP is the abbreviation used for Mobile Number Portability. Mobile NumberPortability as mentioned above, once implemented, will allow users to change their mobile carriers (Vodafone, Airtel, Idea, Reliance, Tata DoCoMo, Uninor etc… are few of the mobile carriers who operate in India) without changing their phone number. Without MNP, if a user changes his / her mobile carrier, he / she is given a new SIM which also has a new number and thus his / her phone number changes, the minute he / she uses the new SIM (when MNP is not used). With MNP, you will be switched from GSM to CDMA or vice versa without getting your number changed.

2. Steps to Change Mobile Service Provider with MNP

Once MNP gets rolled out in your circle (i.e. telecom term for your residential area), then you need to follow the steps mentioned below

Step 1 – Send an SMS to 1900 with the message PORT . represents an empty space, which can be generated by pressing space bar key on your mobile phone.

For example, if your mobile phone number is 9999999999 then you need to type PORT 9999999999.

Step 2 – Once you send the message as described in Step1, you will receive a porting code. Porting code is a 8 digit unique code associated with your number.

Step 3 – Next, you must visit the service provider to which you wish to subscribe with the porting code you obtained in Step 2. Here you will be required to complete the application process (which will include filling up a specific form for MNP).

Step 4 – With the completion of Step 3, work from your end is completed. After this, the service providers (current and new) will complete the back-end work. You will then receive an SMS which mention the date and time of porting from your new service provider. As per Department of Telecommunication paper, the operators are required to finish this process in Seven days.

Step 5 – Once step 4 is completed, on the specific date and time mentioned by the provider, insert the new SIM card and your phone will now work on the same phone number, but with new carrier.

3. How often can I change my Mobile Service Provider?

MNP requires you to be with the new service provider for at least 90 days.

4. What are the charges for keeping my number same, while switching carriers?

The new service provider can charge a maximum of Rs. 19 from the subscriber as MNP fees. This has been fixed by TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India).

5. is there a down-time; I need to be aware of?

On the day when porting actually happens for your number, a down time of 2 hours should be accounted.

6. I want to switch to a new Mobile service provider, but my current service provider is denying me porting rights. Why?

Your request for switching to a new service provider, while keeping your phone number same, through MNP can be denied by your current provider if

i. You have outstanding dues with your providers.

ii. If your contract forbids you from moving out of the network.

iii. You haven’t been with the new provider 90 days.

iv. Your request is not within the same area. For example, you live in Mumbai, but applying for provider change in Delhi.

v. Legal restrictions on your number from court or government etc.

vi. Your number is going through an ownership change or address change. In such a situation, you need to get through with the process before applying for service provider change through MNP.

Mobile number Portability in India, got delayed multiple times

Many analysts believe that Mobile Number Portability will lead to substantial reduction of ARPU’s (Average Revenue per User) for major telcos, however there is also another breed which believes that MNP won’t lead to price war, rather better customer support, network infrastructure, lesser call drops etc. Once completely rolled out MNP will cover 22 circles across India with almost 10 providers in each circle.

Legal & Logical

A young Law student, having failed his Law exam, goes up to his crusty old professor, who is renowned for his razor-sharp legal mind.

Student: "Sir, do you really understand everything about this subject?"

Professor: "Actually, I probably do. Otherwise I wouldn't be a professor, would I?"

Student: "OK. So I’d like to ask you a question. If you can give me the correct answer, I will accept my marks as it is. If you can't give me the correct answer, however, you'll have to give me an "A".

Professor: "Hmmmm, alright. So what’s the question?"

Student: "What is legal but not logical, logical but not legal, and neither logical nor legal? "

The professor wracks his famous brain, but just can't crack the answer. Finally he gives up and changes the student's failing mark into an "A" as agreed, and the student goes away, very pleased.

The professor continues to wrack his brain over the question all afternoon, but still can’t get the answer. So finally he calls in a group of his brightest students and tells them he has a really, really tough question to answer: "What is legal but not logical, logical but not legal, and neither logical nor legal? "

To the professor's surprise (and embarrassment), all the students immediately raise their hands.

"All right" says the professor and asks his favorite student to answer

"It's quite easy, sir" says the student "You see, you are 75 years old and married to a 30 year old woman, which is legal, but not logical. Your wife has a 22 year old lover, which is logical, but not legal. And your wife's lover failed his exam but you've just given him an "A", which is neither legal, nor logical."
