Cancer Facts Part #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.
Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person’s lifetime.
When the person’s immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.
When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.
To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.
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.
Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.
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.
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.
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.
An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.
Cancel Cells Feed On
Sugar, is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. 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.
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 soya milk cancer cells are being starved.
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.
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 to 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).
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.
Cancer Facts Part #2
Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become putrified and leads to more toxic buildup.
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.
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.
Cancer is a disease of the mind,body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, un forgiveness 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.
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.
John Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well. Dioxin chemicals causes cancer, especially breast cancer.
No plastic containers in micro
No water bottles in freezer
No plastic wrap in microwave
Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don’t freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic. Recently, Dr. Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at CastleHospital was on a TV program to explain this health hazard.
He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers. This especially applies to foods that contain fat.
He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body.
Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food.
You get the same results, only without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else. Paper isn’t bad but you don’t know what is in the paper. It’s just safer to use tempered glass, CorningWare, etc. He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons.
Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead

1st week at Provost, can say that it is quite slack here maybe as I said it is the first week only. There are only 78 people in the MP Basic course, which is quite little, last batch was around 100. We are under the coy SOP, there are 2 platoons which 3 sections in each platoon. There are 13 people in 1 section. 1 section will occupy 2 bunks even though the bunk can accommodate for 10 people, which means 6 for each bunk.
The bunk here is very small, 1/2 the size of BMTC’s one and the bunk is very stuffy because it is not well ventilated due to walls almost all around. The air in Singapore sucks, very still. The toilet here is very big, it is around 4 times bigger than BMTC’s one. There is door for the bathing cubical. As usual, 1 platoon will occupy 1 level. The building has 5 levels, level 3 to 5 is for accommodation, level 1 and 2 is for office and lecture rooms. So which means basically everything is in that building, no need to march to other places unlike BMTC.
We had our meal at Kranji Camp’s cookhouse, as Mowbray Camp has no cookhouse but there is a small canteen. I personally find the food is better than BMTC but the drinks here is very plain. They don’t serve ice cream here unlike in BMTC. This week we already had 4 canteens break and 1 nights off, as I said maybe it is only the first week.
70% of the course will be lectures and most of the time it is a 5 days week, which means we can book out on Friday most of the time. We will be booking in and out in civilian attire finally.
Reveille is normally at 5.30am and we need to fall in at 6am. There is always 5bx with run every morning, chin-up regime before lunch and dinner. We are allowed to bring handphones wherever we go but we must off it, but I guess most of us just put it to silence. No camera phones are allowed as usual. RO is normally at 10.30pm.
EVERY instructors here are very fit, and that fucked up instructor that came to BMTC to interview us, is also there. Really can’t stand his fucked up face and attitude.
Had my IPPT test on Friday, 31 of us failed, and because of that we will get much more PT than the last batch. The next IPPT test will be at the end of the course

This week learnt about General Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG), next week going to have my GPMG technical handling test and my GPMG live firing.
Had 2 tests this week, one is vehicle spot-check test and the other is police duties test. The PD test is quite difficult, hope can pass even though they say it takes effort to fail.

This week mostly played around with GPMG, had my GPMG live firing at temple hill, it was quite fun. Firing 84 7.62mm bullets 300m away and 50m down, but I think most of it missed the target because there is 12 details firing 84 bullets each and we went to see the target board, it has less than 100 holes on it.

Next 3 weeks is pretty xiong, alot of outfields, with 3 outfields next week. 1 for navigation, 1 for Fighting In Built Up Area (FIBUA) and 1 for section training. Will be handling the pistol P226 next week als

The 2 days 1 night stay in Tekong called Exercise Moonlight is very xiong, it is just 2 days and 1 night and it is much more xiong than my 7 days field camp in BMT. And no, we do not get to sleep, I only managed to rest for 2 hours before starting the 2nd mission. There are 3 missions we need to complete within the 2 days.
Did 2 lessons of CNR(Control N Restraint) this week, it was fun, it is so much more useful then BCCT(Basic Close Combat Training) and the lesson is either held in the air-con room or at the training shack instead of under the hot sun. Further more there is 6 officers (2LT) that are attending the lessons with us, thus the instructors cannot do much to us also.
Took the Hepatitis B blood test at Kranji MO, I thought it was going to be painful drawing blood, but end up it is the same as injection, and yes it is my first time drawing blood.
Learnt how to use handcuffs, Truncheon and Wicker Shield. Looking forward to the use of GPMG and P226.
Had a 3km run on Wednesday and a 5km run on Friday. For the 5km run we ran deep inside the old Kranji camp and wow it is huge.

My NSF Life:
» 9th June 2004 – 23rd September 2004(BMTC2 Pegasus, Platoon 3, Section 1)» 4th October 2004 – 3rd December 2004(School Of Provost MP Basic Course 3/2004, Platoon 1, Section 3)» 6th December 2004 – 11th November 2006(Gombak Base,Platoon 1, Section 1)» 14th November 2005 – 8th August 2006(SAFTI INTEC)
Downgraded on 11th November 2006 from PES B to PES C2L2 and posted to SAFTI INTEC, and that place is the best place to be in as a NSF

went to Outram Polyclinic to get a referrer letter to General Hospital or Nation Skin Center to remove my “corn” on my last toe. It is very irritating. The appointment is at 10.15am, 19th October 2004. Medical benefits for NSF is very good. Almost everything is free. Must fully make use of the benefits, next time must go book a dental appointment

All I know is that I recently sold my unit and unloaded. I dont see bubbles like this as sustainable and it was my window of opportunity to get rid of it before i cash in on the next dip. If prices are going up now, use this as an opportunity to sell, especially while Singaporeans still believe in the IR. Once the IR opens, the hype will wane off and high prices will no longer be justified as much as today while the "magic" is still there. For those with units, my suggestion is to SELL as high as you can and use the proceeds to buy commodities instead - no depreciation, no tax, no leakage.
