Food and Diet for Cancer Patients – Part 3

As we said, a cancer patient who has a poor diet is not helping him or herself but only most likely worsening their chances for survival. Actually, 30% of individuals who have cancer got it from eating a poor diet in the first place. While increasing protein, calories, and so on is very beneficial, many cancer patients will still become malnourished for several reasons. It can be caused from frequent vomiting or from a significant decrease in food intake from loss of appetite, treatments, and so on. That is why it is going to be very important to take vitamins everyday which will enhance the patient’s recovery as well as potentially prevent future growths.

Story from Carrie Host about Cancer and how Marine Phytoplankton helped her

From Carrie Host, received by email, January 2006I have a rare cancer, called Carcinoid Tumor, I was diagnosed on 10/31/03, at 40, mother of three, my youngest now almost three, I have been facing the unthinkable early death. There is no known cure for Carcinoid, it is managed by being surgically removed and then attempts are made to stabilize existing tumors or new tumor growth by an injected drug that has been developed to ‘fence the disease in’ thus buying time for the patient. On December 8th, 2003, I had a major nine hour surgery at The Mayo Clinic in Rochester MN, successfully removing 98% of the tumors. I was left with a tumor in my spleen and one on my lung. Nine months later I was begun on the 30-mg. injection to try to keep the cancer from growing. In the past 22 months, I have returned to The Mayo, every twelve weeks for CT scans and blood and urine tests. I have been seen to develop seven new tumors to my liver, giving me a total of nine known tumors total. Then on October 4th, just 30 days ago, I took my first ounce of the Marine Phytoplankton, I have taken four tablespoons or 2 ounces per day; one on an empty stomach in the morning and one before bed, I have not missed a single dose. Beside sleeping better, feeling better and looking better, I have just returned from my three day trip to The Mayo Clinic where I had a CT scan to monitor the seven spots on my liver, so that it could be decided if I should undergo RFA or Radio Frequency Ablation, a surgical technique to remove these tumors from my liver. This is what happened instead. My husband and I sat in total disbelief as we were told that there are no tumors on my liver, and the tumor in my spleen has also vanished!!!! Eight out of nine tumors are GONE! I have never written a testimonial in my life, but at this point, I feel it is my responsibility to do so. Is my Sandostatin injection the sole reason for this miracle? I doubt it, since I have managed to develop seven new tumors in spite of it, and research shows that the injection to act mainly as a band-aid, and NOT a cure. Have I just been blessed? Yes, because in my opinion, The Marine Phytoplankton  was divinely inspired, and it seems about as clear as my CT scans, that the answer is YES! In writing this I hope you and your family will find the healing you are hoping for, or at the very least, will become healthier and feel better while you’re looking.

Feeling Depressed?

Marine Phytoplankton for Optimum Health

Feeling depressed?

Depression is an important global public health problem due to both its relatively high lifetime prevalence and the significant disability that it causes. According to recent World Health Organization (WHO) data, depression accounts for close to 5% of the worldwide total burden of disease, and at some point in their lives, 10% to 25% of women and 5% to 12% of men will become clinically depressed. Without treatment, it has the tendency to assume a chronic course, to recur, and to be associated with increasing disability over time.If you are depressed some of the following symptoms may sound familiar:
• Feelings of sadness or unhappiness
• Irritability or frustration, even over small matters
• Loss of interest or pleasure in normal activities
• Reduced sex drive
• Insomnia or excessive sleeping
• Changes in appetite
• Agitation or restlessness
• Irritability or angry outbursts
• Slowed thinking, speaking or body movements
• Indecisiveness, distractibility and decreased concentration
• Fatigue, tiredness and loss of energy
• Feelings of worthlessness or guilt, fixating on past failures or blaming yourself when things aren’t going right
• Trouble thinking, concentrating, making decisions and remembering things
• Frequent thoughts of death, dying or suicide
• Crying spells for no apparent reason
• Unexplained physical problems, such as back pain or headaches

*Symptoms extracted from the Mayo Clinic website

Depression remains an illness in which existing treatments have limited efficacy. One theory claims that the significant increase in the dietary intake of saturated fat and an increase in the ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids may explain the high prevalence of this condition in the general population. If true, this theory has substantial implications for both the prevention and treatment of depression through people’s diets.

The long-chain omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) are essential nutrients now established to enhance life quality and lower the risk of premature death. In depressed patients, low blood levels of EPA are seen; over the past decade, a number of trials have been conducted, many of which support its efficacy in the treatment of childhood and adult depression, among other beneficial effects on brain function.

So, what is the correct intake of EPA for brain benefits? Current knowledge doesn’t indicate a daily intake recommendation, but the purity of EPA within the preparation appears to be influential. Unfortunately, the standard Western diet is unlikely to contribute more than 50-100 mg/day of EPA, and the practicality of making dietary recommendations to eat fish as a primary source of EPA is threatened by the fact that suitable fish are increasingly expensive and hard to find, and may be contaminated with mercury or other pollutants. An alternative is to take dietary supplements rich in EPA. Good news! Phyto4life from Green Growth is rich in EPA. See our labreports on our website.

Marine Phytoplankton Production

Our Marine Phytoplankton is produced, using the genuine sea salts provided by the sea & other natural minerals. Only natural ingredients are used in the Marine Phytoplankton process, ensuring our product is of the highest quality possible for human consumption.

The product is cultivated in a controled environment to strict Standard Operating Procedures (SOP”s), and each batch is managed by individual batch record protocols (BRP”s). Our production management processes are based on the concepts used in GMP Pharma manufacturing process standards.

Our premium grade food quality Phytoplankton Powder is dried, using advanced drying technology which sets the standard for food ingredient drying.  Our algae processing is done according to the DIN ISO 9001 : 2000 standards and is also HACCP certified. 

Our Phytoplankton products have the highest EPA Omega 3 essential fatty acids, due to a our unique know-how of how to cultivate the product to the most optimum conditions. And Coenzyme 9 (CoQ9).

The combination of our biological, marine science,bio-chemistry, physics, design engineering and process engineering knowledge gives us all the essential know-how tools to cultivate phytoplankton products in the highest quality process. We use ingredients that meet ISS (International Food grade standards) . For the growing we use natural food grade products. We use Nitrates and Phosphates all raw ingredients to grow our Marine Phytoplankton

Our FacilitiesBoth facilities are located in 2 European countries

1) The production process at one facility is based on the “open pond raceway concept”, but uses many state of the art concepts to create a semi-closed and well controlled production environment. 

We operate in a special aerated greenhouse, which allows for a semi-closed production, but allows for breathing to maintain a more constant temperate. In addition we have created special in-pond filtration technology to help support and maintain a pure culture strain in this environment.

Added to these benefits, our location offers a low humidity/dry constant temperature all year round perfect for phytoplankton production, due to its strategic location. This allows all year round consistent phytoplankton of exceptional quality.2) Our second production facility is based on cutting edge closed tubular photo-bioreactor technology. This fully closed production process allows for a high quality consistent biomass, with the manufacturing facility working to ISO-9002 certified standards.

We are able to produce acceptable price Phytoplankton using this high technology process, due to the fact that our installation benefits from having free heating and on-site green energy supplied to the greenhouse, which these closed tubular photo-bioreactor operate in. This is due to the strategic benefit that we benefit from excess heat from food production processing and photo-voltaic solar panel energy on-site.

This production process is fully automated and the Phytoplankton produced from this production facility is of the highest quality standard. We normally produce this Phytoplankton product during the spring-summer-autumn (May-Oct) each year, due to the suitable temperature window & available sun radiation in northern Europe over this period.Our Phytoplankton is based on both core production processes, which are fully optimised to give the best premium quality product, based on location, technology & know-how and reduced energy operational costs.

What Doctors say about Marine Phytoplankton

 

Dr. Bob Rowe (consultant member of the EPA Science Advisory Board) has been working closely with the anecdotal evidence, and he feels that the nutritional properties of marine phytoplankton appear to work at the cellular level to repair the liver and the nervous system, improve endocrine function, and to correct sleep disorders and weight problems.

“Chronic conditions possibly caused by nutritional deficiency and inflammation at the cellular level have been quickly reversed with natural Marine Phytoplankton. Astounding health changes have been reported including dramatic improvements in cardiovascu­lar function, blood sugar regulation, digestive function, weight loss, immune function, sleep quality, mental clarity and energy levels.”

~ Vince Ziccarelli MSc. RD FICN

“Marine Phytoplankton is a food that contains almost everything you need for life (and the rebuilding of a healthy life). It contains the nine amino acids that the body cannot make and must be consumed in our diet (essential amino acids). The essential fatty acids are also present (Omega 3 and Omega 6). Vitamins A (betacarotine), 81 (thiamine), 82 (riboflavin), 83 (niacin), 85 (pantothenic acid), 86 (pyridoxine), 812 (cobalamin), C, and D (tocopherol) and major and trace minerals are all present in phytoplankton. In short, it contains almost every­thing one needs to sustain life. Therefore, it contains almost everything one needs to restore health by providing the raw materials to make new cells that function normally.”

Dr. Jerry Tennant, M.D.

“In my many years as a health practitioner, I have found Marine Phytoplankton to be one of the most superior products I have encountered. It has demonstrated remarkable health benefits by restoring and promoting balance and strength in all those that have used it, and the duration of use is unlimited. I am confident and grateful to recommend it to my patients, my colleagues and my family as pure and healthy support for optimal health and well being.”

~ Dr. Lisa J. Lundy, B.Sc., D.TCM

“Eighty percent of the diseases doctors see are chronic conditions, which occur because we’re not eating right. Most people fall victim to whatever foods they see on television. The micronutrients and electrolytes in natural Marine Plankton are exactly what human cell membranes need to carry out their metabolism. Not surprisingly, the composition of human plasma, or fluid surrounding cell membranes, is similar to that of sea water. Relying solely on land-based food sources may lead to deficiencies in these micronutri­ents and electrolytes. While transient sub-optimal nutrition may be forgiven, a constant diet lacking in these micronutrients will adversely affect every function, structure, and detoxification functions of the human cell, leading to practically all diseases. There are very few products that provide all, or even most, of the raw materials to make new cells and sustain the existing ones.

The problem is that we need ALL of them at the same time. One of those rare products that contains almost everything you need for life (and the rebuilding of a healthy life) is marine phytoplankton. It contains the nine amino acids that the body cannot make. The essential fatty acids are also present (Omega 3 and Omega 6). Vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, C, D and major and trace minerals are all present. Marine phytoplankton can reduce harmful effects of stress, depression and mood swings.”

~ Hugo Rodier M.D.

“As a health care practitioner, I am open to excellent products to enhance the health of my patients. I have experienced Marine Phytoplankton to be compatible with patients with no side effects. Phytoplankton is just pure, nutrient dense nutrition. This product is a natural combination of nutrients including antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and fatty acids for good health.”

~ Dr. Penny Pals, D.C

As a natural health practitioner, I have spent the past 10 years researching and trying hundreds of nutritional supplements and dietary programs. I came to the conclusion about 3 years ago that “loading” patients up with bottles of vitamins, herbs, enzymes, and other assorted supplements was not the solution because this approach was too overwhelming and time-consuming for the majority of people to follow. Since then I have become a proponent of whole foods (super-greens) type foods and have tried

Some more information on Marine Phytoplankton

Nobody wants to make claims on what effects Marine Phytoplankton has on humans. We only mention some of the remarks of people who used Marine Phytoplankton, our own experiences with Marine Phytoplankton and research done on the ingredients that are in marine Phytoplankton and researched by labs.

In the early 1900′s, doctors thought there were only four vitamins needed by the human body. Now we know of over a hundred vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other substances that are necessary for optimum health. In the years ahead, we will certainly find even more. And when we do, chances will be that they are already found in micro-algae.

Micro-Algae Superfoods are primitive foods which contain the highest food energy nutrient values, and use up the least amount of the planet’s resources. Collectively, micro-algae supply 90 percent of the world’s oxygen and potentially 80 percent of its food. In just in the last 30 years people in the United States have begun to explore the use of the algaes as a high nutrient food.

Micro-Algae per gram, could be the most cost-effective, nutritious and well-rounded food on the planet. Properties which establish it Micro-Algae as a superfood choice are :

ALL the essential amino acids

·    Hi Levels of Vegetarian Protein

·    Omega-3 , 6 and 12 fatty acids

·    High concentrations of human-active B-12;

·    Glycolipids and Sulfonolipids;

·    The Complete spectrum of Vitamins;

·    17 different beta-carotenoids;

·    over 2000 enzymes;

·    a full spectrum of well assimilated minerals;

·    and it is especially high in iron and magnesium

Packaged foods are heated, processed, bromated, hydrogenated, and mixed with hundreds of chemicals unknown by our ancestors. In addition, the fruits and vegetables we eat are grown on biologically dead soils, de-vitalized of minerals and the micro-organisms that turn rock and inorganic minerals into organic foods.

The dark green color is developed from array of natural pigments which power, strengthen, protect and cleanse them while they grow. These natural foods nourish, energize and cleanse our body naturally.

Some of the benefits are:

• Improved Energy levels
• Lower risk of mortality from heart disease
• Improved heart rhythms
• Improved heart rate.
• Less chance of stroke
• Improved blood lipids
• Reduced blood clotting
• Less inflammation
