Abstract

The external pH of solid tumors is acidic as a consequence of increased metabolism of glucose and poor perfusion. Acid pH has been shown to stimulate tumor cell invasion and metastasis in vitro and in cells before tail vein injection in vivo. The present study investigates whether inhibition of this tumor acidity will reduce the incidence of in vivo metastases. Here, we show that oral NaHCO₃ selectively increased the pH of tumors and reduced the formation of spontaneous metastases in mouse models of metastatic breast cancer. This treatment regimen was shown to significantly increase the extracellular pH, but not the intracellular pH, of tumors by ³¹P magnetic resonance spectroscopy and the export of acid from growing tumors by fluorescence microscopy of tumors grown in window chambers. NaHCO₃ therapy also reduced the rate of lymph node involvement, yet did not affect the levels of circulating tumor cells, suggesting that reduced organ metastases were not due to increased intravasation. In contrast, NaHCO₃ therapy significantly reduced the formation of hepatic metastases following intrasplenic injection, suggesting that it did inhibit extravasation and colonization. In tail vein injections of alternative cancer models, bicarbonate had mixed results, inhibiting the formation of metastases from PC3M prostate cancer cells, but not those of B16 melanoma. Although the mechanism of this therapy is not known with certainty, low pH was shown to increase the release of active cathepsin B, an important matrix remodeling protease

To assist in the restoration of normal flora in the body, avoidance of certain foods for a period of time is essential. These include all sweetening (except stevia extract), juice, dried fruit, vinegar, alcohol, fermented soy products (miso, tempeh, and soy sauce), cheese and yeast.

Yeast infections are caused by an overgrowth of normally harmless bacteria, Candida Albicans. Candida thrives on sugar, so a diet high in added sugars will feed the yeast-like bacteria and allow these microbes to flourish. A Candida overgrowth can cause a vaginal yeast infection, but can also lead to jock itch, oral thrush, canker sores and athlete’s foot. Dietary changes can help treat a yeast infection and prevent future outbreaks. If you have chronic yeast infections, see your doctor. You may need an anti-fungal medication or it could be a sign of an underlying illness.

Your body contains more than a trillion living microorganisms. Some of them are friendly bacteria that aid in digestion, boost your immune system or help you absorb nutrients and produce vitamins. Others are less friendly and can cause illness if allowed to reproduce too quickly. Candida normally live in your mouth and digestive tract and are stopped from reproducing too fast by other bacteria such as Lactobacillus acidophilus, found in yogurt. But if something upsets the balance of bacteria in your body, such as taking antibiotics, illness, diabetes or a diet high in sugar, Candida can thrive.

Anti-Fungals

Candida is actually a fungus so adding anti-fungal foods to your diet will help destroy the microbes.

Coconut oil

Coconut oil contains lauric and caprylic acids, two potent anti-fungals.

Garlic

Garlic, onions, olive oil and certain spices including oregano, cinnamon, sage, ginger and cloves may help prevent yeast infections, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center.

Yogurt

Yogurt is a part of almost every anti-yeast diet because it contains probiotic bacteria. Bacteria that have beneficial effects on the human body are called probiotic. These bacteria can help digestion, help control pH balance and most importantly can kill off Candida cells.

Acidophilus is a type of probiotic — the beneficial bacteria that usually keep candida from repopulating too quickly. Fermented dairy foods such as yogurt and kefir are good sources of acidophilus. MayoClinic.com suggests eating 8 ounces of unsweetened yogurt daily to treat the symptoms of a candida overgrowth. Yogurt can also be applied topically — inserted directly into the vagina to help treat a yeast infection. Do not use yogurt with added sugars — the yeast feed on sugar. Maintain the natural balance of probiotic bacteria in your body by continuing to eat acidophilus or tale supplements even after the symptoms of your yeast infection disappear.

Probiotic bacteria favorably alter the intestinal microflora balance, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, promote good digestion, boost immune function, and increase resistance to infection. People with flourishing intestinal colonies of beneficial bacteria are better equipped to fight the growth of disease-causing bacteria. Lactobacilli and bifidobacteria, along with acidophilus (found in yogurt), maintain a healthy balance of intestinal flora by producing organic compounds (lactic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and acetic acid) that increase the acidity of the intestine and inhibit the reproduction of many harmful bacteria. Probiotic bacteria also produce substances called bacteriocins, which act as natural antibiotics to kill undesirable microorganisms.

Vegetables

Certain vegetables have an inhibiting effect on Candida; others are beneficial to it. Eat cabbage, garlic, spinach, broccoli, cucumber and tomatoes. Remove from your diet all vegetables containing starch (a carbohydrate), such as carrots, sweet potatoes and corn.

Vegetables (including plenty of raw garlic), protein foods (beef, chicken, eggs, fish), live yogurt cultures (both dairy and non-dairy,), whey, acidophilus, green algae (such as spirulina and chlorella), nuts, seeds and oils, and non-glutenous grains (like millet, rice, rice bran and oat bran).

Fasting

Fasting, colon cleansing, wheatgrass, fresh vegetable juices, plenty of water, detox herbs, exercise, and anything else that extracts toxins.

Pro-Fungals

Sugar

Because Candida feed on sugar, removing both natural and added sugars will help starve the yeast and treat your symptoms. Natural sugars such as fructose, found in fruits, and lactose, found in milk, feed Candida as much as added sugars found in processed foods. Not only should sugars be limited as much as possible, but foods that quickly become sugar, such as starchy vegetables, alcoholic beverages and refined grains should also be avoided. Chronic yeast infections are often a sign of undiagnosed or poorly controlled diabetes because Candida thrives if you have high blood sugar levels.

Taking antibiotics, illness, diabetes or a diet high in sugar, Candida can thrive.

Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates (especially sugar) are your enemy in the fight against Candida. Carbohydrates are a very good source of nutrition for Candida cells, allowing them to sustain themselves and grow further. Avoid alcohol because of its high sugar content.

Some Yeast Products

Beer, cheese, some types of bread, mushrooms and vinegar all contain yeas–or yeast is used in producing them. Aged cheeses, alcohol, chocolate, dried fruits, fresh fruits, fermented foods, mushrooms, vinegar, glutenous foods (wheat, rye, barley), all sugars, honeys and syrups (that includes any ‘ose’, like lactose, sucrose etc), and foods that contain yeast or mold (breads, muffins, cakes, baked goods, cheese, dried fruits, melons, peanuts – although nutritional and brewer’s yeasts are not harmful, as they do not colonize in the intestines). Nutritional yeast is deactivated yeast, often a strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Baker’s yeast is of the species Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Some species of yeast are opportunistic pathogens that can cause infection in people with compromised immune systems. Two genera of yeasts stand out as human pathogens, one being Cryptococcus sp. and the other Candida sp.

Cryptococcus neoformans is a significant pathogen of immune-compromised people causing the disease termed cryptococcosis. This disease occurs in about 7–9% of AIDS patients in the USA, and a slightly smaller percentage (3–6%) in western Europe. The cells of the yeast are surrounded by a rigid polysaccharide capsule, which helps to prevent them from being recognized and engulfed by white blood cells in the human body.

Yeasts of the Candida genus are another group of opportunistic pathogens that causes oral and vaginal infections in humans, known as candidiasis. Candida is commonly found as a commensal yeast in the mucus membranes of humans and other warm-blooded animals. However, sometimes these same strains can become pathogenic. Here the yeast cells sprout a hyphal outgrowth, which locally penetrates the mucosal membrane, causing irritation and shedding of the tissues. The pathogenic yeasts of candidiasis in probable descending order of virulence for humans are: C. albicans, C. tropicalis, C. stellatoidea, C. glabrata, C. krusei, C. parapsilosis, C. guilliermondii, C. viswanathii, C. lusitaniae, and Rhodotorula mucilaginosa.[81] Candida glabrata is the second most common Candida pathogen after C. albicans, causing infections of the urogenital tract, and of the bloodstream (candidemia).

Caffeinated Beverages

According to the experts at Candidadiet.com, caffeine is a source of energy and nutrition for yeast, giving the Candida the same type of boost it does to the person suffering from the Candida. Avoid any beverage that contains caffeine, even if the amount is small.

Any Form of Imperialism Is Utterly Evil

Any Form of Imperialism Is Utterly Evil

Africa must learn from its history and its present time; and also from World’s history and contemporary struggles.

Imperialism Is Utterly Evil whether it is Western; Eastern; Arabic; African; or any other form. The United States of America; The United States of Europe; a United States of Africa; or other Imperialist designs are against the national interests and sovereignty of free nations. Unity is extremely good; but what kind of unity that could be praised?

Unity is like marriage cannot involve abuse; injustice; or violence. Both are contracts between free people with equal rights and they require continuous consent.

Any successful form of government must recognize and adhere to these facts. That is why federation or confederation of nation-states is much better than those grand schemes of elite tyranny, such as the USA; The EU; and a United States of Africa. Unity grows slowly from healthy seeds; and it is not comfortable prison or slavery.

Those African leaders who called for a United States of Africa are trying to straighten a healthy curve and make shortcuts. Tribalism and nationalism are the building bricks for a stronger African continent. There is no good reason to marginalize or defame Tribalism and nationalism and at the same time to call for African; European; Asian; or American Unity.

How Many Will Mourn Obama, Sarkozy, or Merkel ?

Hugo Chavez Love

Looking at size and the faithfulness of the crowds who are mourning Hugo Chavez; and also for those who paid their true respects for many other prominent anti-Western leaders, one cannot deny that the West is a moral looser despite their claims of democracy.

There is nothing that binds the people with their leaders in the West other than interests and deception. Love is a stranger in Western politics. That is why the West has a lot of blood on their hands, not only from their own people but also from poor nations. They are crucifying Jesus every day.

The West is Sick
