Exhaust fumes contain small
particulates

Almost as important as
specific cancer-fighting
therapies is the creation of
healthy living conditions,
and in particular, avoiding
or minimizing the many
negative and harmful
influences on our health
caused by modern living.
The main negative influences
at present are chemical
pollution, electromagnetic
pollution and radiation. Not
only our food and water are
heavily polluted with
chemicals but city air
commonly is equally
unhealthy. It is especially
bad in industrialized areas,
close to heavy traffic, and
in modern houses with many
synthetics and plastics.
If you live in a modern
house, try to sanitize it by
minimizing the use of
synthetic items that release
chemicals, such as
formaldehyde from glue in
carpets, chipboard or
plywood. Avoid solvents,
smelling household cleaners
and disinfectants, tobacco
smoke, mothballs and insect
sprays. If the outside air
is reasonably clean, good
ventilation helps to
minimize the problem.
If you live in an area with
much outside air pollution,
you may try to live away
from home during the
critical period, possibly
with friends or relatives,
and best in green
surroundings. A health farm
would be excellent but
unfortunately few are geared
for clients on low budgets.
Avoid or minimize wearing a
bra, synthetic clothing and
even heavily chemicalized
wool or cotton material
(e.g. permanent press).
Women who used to wear a bra
24 hours a day had a 3 out
of 4 chance of developing
breast cancer, compared to a
1 in 168 chance for women
who never or rarely wore
bras.
The only good mattresses are
futons that are filled with
natural fibers. Most
recommended is a latex
mattress. A cheap
alternative is straw or hay
from a pesticide-free
source. An innerspring
mattress should only be used
if it does not deflect the
needle of a compass moved
across it close to the
surface. Commonly, only
older mattresses are
suitable. Do not use
steel-framed beds,
steel-spring frames and move
the bed if there are metal
beams or live wires in the
wall behind the bed. Steel
tends to become
inappropriately magnetized
and carries strong induction
currents.
Furthermore, sleep in total
darkness, or alternatively
cover your eyes during
sleep. Cancer protective
melatonin is released in
normal amounts only when we
sleep in darkness.
Profoundly blind women have
up to 70% less breast cancer
than women with normal
sight. Profoundly blind men
have less cancer of the
colon, lungs, prostate, skin
and stomach. However, simple
vision impairment does not
reduce cancer rates, only if
there is no sensitivity to
light at all.
 
Sunlight
Sunshine can be beneficial
or harmful depending on the
type, time and amount of
exposure. There is a strong
negative correlation between
available sunlight and
breast cancer death rates;
living in a sunny area is
associated with lower cancer
rates. Even skin cancer is
inhibited by regular
low-level sun exposure; only
sunburn is a strong skin
cancer promoter. It has been
suggested that approximately
30,000 U.S. cancer deaths
yearly would be averted by
the widespread public
adoption of regular,
moderate sunning.

However, too much sunlight
inhibits the immune response
and is also a strong
inflammation promoter. Any
increased inflammatory
tendency leads to
stimulation of tumor growth.
Therefore, with cancer, any
sun exposure must be so mild
that afterwards there is no
reddening of the skin.
Except in winter, avoid
sunbathing within 2 or 3
hours of midday. No glasses
or sunscreen lotion should
be used during this time. A
recent report states that
90% of sunscreen lotions
contain chemicals that kill
skin cells. I prefer a
solution of the nutrient
PABA when sun protection is
required.
Aim to be outside as much as
possible, such as in a
garden or on a veranda. If
it is sunny remain in
half-shade, or when in the
full sun, cover up
sufficiently. The life-force
associated with sunlight
penetrates our clothing and
also charges the air that we
breathe. As an added bonus,
sunlight has a strong
anti-depressant effect. A
good way of catching the
life-force associated with
direct sunlight is by
exposing drinking water or
cooked or refrigerated food
for a while to the sun
before eating it.
Minimize electro-pollutants
Strong electromagnetic
fields of about 50 to 60
cycles per second (hertz, or
Hz) are harmful to us. These
fields exist around power
lines, power tools, electric
stoves, heaters, boilers,
freezers and television sets
when in use, extending
several feet or yards around
the appliance. Stay away
from them if possible.
Try to minimize
electromagnetic pollution,
especially while sleeping
when the pineal gland is
most susceptible. Switch off
al power points and unplug
all electric leads with
2-prong plugs in the bedroom
before going to sleep, watch
that there are no live
electric wires inside the
wall near the head, and try
to sleep with the head in a
northerly direction, or
otherwise towards the east.
Some dowsers claim to have
discovered harmful earth
rays from fault lines and
underground streams under
the beds of most cancer
victims. Try to find someone
who is able to check the
location of your bed for
harmful underground
radiation, even if you sleep
on an upper floor.

electromagnetic pollution

yourself see the article
