Excess protein foods and cancer

We are experiencing a large increase in people diagnosed with malignant carcinomas or cancer. At the same time high-protein diets and high-protein foods and bars are on big demand. Cheese makers used to discard whey, which is now sold at a premium price in protein supplements.

High protein diets and an acidic state

Let’s look at a famous publication (over 5 million copies sold) by a Swiss guy:
nature-doctor

“As a nutritionist I discovered among primitive peoples the real cause of the ever increasing cases of diseases of civilisation despite the astronomical amounts of money being spent on health and medical care.

It is excess protein in the diet. Most of us eat two or three times more protein than is needed, in the form of meat, eggs, cheese and fish. Of course, protein is necessary in our diet, but too much of it triggers protein-storage diseases.

Protein foods produce excess acid, and the constant state of hyper-acidity in the body is one of the causes of cancer because protein is used in cell formation and also promotes cell proliferation, as in tumours […]

I found that these diseases are virtually unknown among people who still live close to nature.”

~ Alfred Vogel, 1952

Cancer cells and oxygen

“All normal cells have an absolute requirement for oxygen, but cancer cells can live without oxygen – a rule without exception. Deprive a cell 35% of its oxygen for 48 hours and it may become cancerous.”

~ Dr. Otto H Warburg, Nobel Prize in Physiology, 1931

Warburg believed the root cause of cancer is oxygen deficiency, which creates an acidic state in the human body. He also discovered that cancer cells are anaerobic, i.e. they do not breathe oxygen, and cannot survive in the presence of high levels of oxygen, as found in an alkaline state.

Castor seeds

Castor oil is one of the best kept beauty secrets and those who do know about it can boast longer lashes, fuller eyebrows and lustrous hair!

Castor oil is high in vitamin E and contains essential unsaturated fatty acids, like omega-6 that stimulate blood circulation on the surface of the skin, promoting hair growth.

Just apply a little castor oil to the area you want to nourish before going to bed. Smooth through split hair ends, coat your lashes or dab on eyebrows and see and feel the difference.

Use externally as a ‘castor oil’ pack by soaking a flannel in warm castor oil and apply to affected area. Cover with a plastic sheet, then cover with a towel and place a hot water bottle on top for 20 minutes.

  • Castor Oil is made from organic cold-pressed castor seeds.
  • Superb for nourishing dry skin and removing impurities from the body
  • Multi-use and very versatile massage oil
