You eat 135lbs of it a year DID YOU know that?

Today was a busy day, we CLEANED, that almighty, nasty, awful, household chore that NEVER ends. We got it done well most of it anyway and I did get out of my Jammie's today. I try to keep my mind busy so I don't think alot, thinking always seems to lead to Kevin and that leads to tears or some emotion that makes my eyes leak. It is inevitable however that something will lead to remembering....

Preface here, links are cut and paste

I got on Face book a while ago and saw a post from a friend I have a lot of respect for, who has battled brain cancer and at this time is doing OK. She was lamenting about going off sugar cold turkey and how hard that is. I can sympathize with that, I too am a Sugar addict, I LOVE toffee, Adore milk, and Mashed potatoes are, well, just amazing.
When my husband was diagnosed with cancer they told him to eat what ever he wanted sugary fattening foods were ok. He was ecstatic about that. I later have found that, that advice probably helped to kill him faster. At least from what I can tell. See Cancer loves an acidic environment and Sugar helps the body be acidic. One study called it the Warburg Effect which states that
"When patients were put on low-carb diets in 2007, their cancers reversed spontaneously.
In Würzburg, Germany, researchers concluded that cancer cells have a different metabolism, the so called Warburg hypothesis, or Warburg Effect, first described in 1924 by Otto Warburg. He concluded that "the prime cause of cancer is the replacement of the respiration of oxygen in normal body cells by a fermentation of sugar."

http://drbass.com/cancer.html They go on further to state

"To the two researchers in Würzburg, the theoretical debate about what is now known as the Warburg effect — whether it is the primary cause of cancer or a mere metabolic side effect — is irrelevant. What they believe is that it can be therapeutically exploited. The theory is simple: If most aggressive cancers rely on the fermentation of sugar for growing and dividing, then take away the sugar and they should stop spreading. Meanwhile, normal body and brain cells should be able to handle the sugar starvation; they can switch to generating energy from fatty molecules called ketone bodies — the body's main source of energy on a fat-rich diet — an ability that some or most fast-growing and invasive cancers seem to lack."

Now IM not a scientist but it makes sense to me. There are so many homeopathic options. I know of people who are living with cancer, they are supposed to be dead, but they changed their diet drastically and though the cancer is there its not killing them and really its not usually the cancer that kills people its the complications of the medications on the body that cause death.

The Ojibwa have had what they consider a "cure" I use that loosely here because it has not SCIENTIFIC basis but many have tried ESSIAC tea and had amazing results. There are other somewhat non traditional medicine way as well. A simple device called a Zapper can help general health as well as destroying cells that are cancerous. Here are some links to them, Im not getting paid for them It is just stuff I believe works.

Here is a great link on what sugar does to the body. It is astounding and disgusting not to mention very frightening. http://www.healingdaily.com/detoxification-diet/sugar.htm
Like I said IM NOT a scientist but if something makes sense I dont mind trying it.

Now NOT ONLY does sugar contribute to cancer " aggravate asthma, move mood swings, provoke personality changes, muster mental illness, nourish nervous disorders, deliver diabetes, hurry heart disease, grow gallstones, hasten hypertension, and add arthritis. ", and most recently contributes to Alzheimers Go to this link http://olsonnd.com/the-alzheimers-and-sugar-connection/ and scroll down to where it says new Alzheimers discoveries and then the part about Alzheimers sugar connection.

With the American public consuming 135 LBS of sugar a year is it any wonder after reading the links we are in trouble."Because sugar is devoid of minerals, vitamins, fiber, and has such a deteriorating effect on the endocrine system, major researchers and major health organizations (American Dietetic Association and American Diabetic Association) agree that sugar consumption in America is one of the 3 major causes of degenerative disease." ( http://www.healingdaily.com/detoxification-diet/sugar.htm ) Why is it allowed in our diet so prolifically, Smoking kills, alcohol kills SO does SUGAR.

I slipped up big time for Christmas lots of goodies and I can feel the issues it has caused. I am going to go back to my no sugar diet I have 4 kids that need me around and SUGAR is not going to win.
