Cancer loves sugar!

Because a friend just told me she needed a double mastectomy I have delved into finding out what I can about cancer and nutrition. What did I find?

1) Normal cells need oxygen. Cancer cells despise oxygen.
2) Cancer metabolizes through a process of fermentation.
3) The metabolism of cancer is approximately 8 times greater than the metabolism of normal cells.

So? the body is constantly overworked trying to feed the cancer. The cancer is constantly on the verge of starvation and thus constantly asking the body to feed it. When the food supply is cut off, the cancer begins to starve unless it can make the body produce sugar to feed itself. Sugar feeds the cancer. The body finally dies of starvation, trying to feed the cancer.

Knowing this, does it make sense to feed the cancer sugar? Does it make sense to have a high carbohydrate diet?

If we continue to ignore our nutrition we are setting ourselves up for many health issues including cancer, obesity, diabetes, heart disease, strokes and worse. It is so much easier to prevent the problems than it is to try and correct them later.

Muscle Spasm!

Somedays I think I may be my own best Herbalife client and testimonial! Saturday I tried to move a microwave cart and had a sharp pain run up my back followed by a severe muscle spasm! Yes, I know better, but hey I had to move it! Since I'm not a person to slow down, I very gingerly moved the cart to a place where it wouldn't roll down the driveway, threw a blanket over it to protect it from the dew and was on my way..

Later that afternoon, I took a couple of Herbalife Tang Kuei caplets which support muscle relaxation and promotes restful sleep. Now don't get me wrong. It was definitely not an instant cure, however, as a result, I had a good nights sleep and was feeling almost human again on Sunday. I was aware all day Sunday of the possibility of a relapse so took things slowly, and as a result, today I am a bit sore but otherwise seem to be doing much better!

Reaction to citric acid

What an interesting evening we had last night. Just a few people for the first night of our Health and Wellness Banquet, but it gave us a chance to learn about new products so we can better offer advise to people who truly want to start taking charge of their health.

During the course of the evening, Jeanine passed around a sample protein wild berry drink that is designed to be a mid day snack. After a couple of sips, my throat got very itchy, started to hurt and I could immediately tell I would very quickly lose my voice! I was having an allergic reaction to the drink! Turns out it had citric acid in it which I obviously can't drink! Jeanine gave me a couple of tablespoons of aloe drink and within 10 minutes it was like the incident had never occurred. I have heard amazing stories of how the aloe drink could help and I've used aloe externally for years, but now I've seen first hand what all the excitement is about.

***Just a bit of aloe info! Aloe has 75 substances that are known for their healing properties! Imagine what can happen if we unleash that potential inside our bodies as we have on the outside of our bodies! Aloe aids in digestion, helps to relieve heartburn, indigestion and acid reflux.

You can read more about aloe products at http://herbal-nutrition.net/products/search/distributor/diatimb The drink comes in ready-to-use, concentrate and powder to fit your lifestyle.

Update to Banquet!

Wow! Some great changes have been made to the upcoming banquets this week. Just when you think you have a good thing going, someone makes a suggestion to make it even better! Come hungry!! Doors open one hour early each day so everyone has a chance to have a shake (picking from 75+ flavors!), a tea and an electronic BMI! Ok, so the BMI may not be as exciting as the shake and tea but it's still great information for you to have and I need the practice......
