Episode notes
Cancer Cells As Internal Criminals
- Cancerous cells are likened to criminals that exist in every body but become deadly when they organize and concentrate.
- The body's internal order determines whether these 'criminals' remain isolated or flourish into life-threatening disease.
Use Meal Spacing And Fasting
- Space meals by eight to twelve hours to starve fast-growing cancerous cells that consume far more food than normal cells.
- Also practice occasional full-day fasting once or twice a month to help control these cells naturally.
Defense Mechanism Parallels Law Enforcement
- The body's defense mechanisms suppress internal rogue cells just as law enforcement suppresses criminals in society.
- Intoxicants and constant stimulants weaken this defense, allowing internal 'crime' to flourish.
